I’ve been interested in trying a 10×10 challenge since I heard about them. I have been diligently working to perfect my closet so that when I bring something in, I have the clear slate to USE and APPRECIATE those things that I am excited to introduce into my wardrobe.
I thought a good step would be to try a few 10×10 challenges, starting with a FAVORITES theme. These are some of my favorite, most used pieces in my closet. I’m interested to see how I style my FAVORITE things all together for 10 days straight.
If you’re not familiar with a 10×10 challenge, you will select 10 pieces from your closet to style for 10 days. This reinforces using what you have, creativity, and helps with the shopping habit.

I plan on using my favorite accessories and bags to jazz things up, but this is a typical wardrobe for me. If I had 2 more spots, I would include either a jean jacket or leather, and a band tee. I want to go by the rules this time, but I may switch things up to a 12X12 in the future if I feel it would serve me better!
I also will be wearing a logowear cardigan while I am at work over the items mentioned at any given time. And I will be using a coat that I didn’t include because it’s the only one I use and a necessity for the cold Indiana winter.
Over the course of the 10 days, I will be wearing 3 work outfits, 2 casual day work outfits, 1 holiday off work and 4 weekend days! I’ve roughly put together 10 outfits, so I can’t wait to share my looks with you! I think it’s going to be harder than I would have thought…but it will be a fun challenge.
