Here's the thing: I am not the kind of person who is capable of not seeing a project through. I am also not the kind of person who can pretend I am right when I am wrong. So here I am, admitting I was wrong. I thought deconstructing the style challenge into a more fluid wardrobe challenge would be more beneficial to people. That wasn't entirely wrong, but it wasn't entirely right either. Essentially, those of us who have been in the style challenge game long enough made it work for a while (enjoyed it, even)...but then it got pushed to the side. It took too much effort to figure out what prompt to do on any given day. I know that was the case for me, as well as others who reached out to me via DM over the past few months. I don't want to abandon the wardrobe challenge with only two months left in the year, but I also don't want to leave everyone hanging until January while I figure out what I want to do. That said, we are going to do both. Same prompts (ish...though less of them in #NOVliblooks), different challenges. Do whichever one works for you...
For those of you unfamiliar with #LLBwardroberemix, here is how it works: Each month I give you 40 prompts, broken down into eight categories. You can do any prompt, from any category, on any day you want. This challenge works around your schedule, while still providing a hit of inspiration. Why 40 prompts? So you can skip the ones that don't work for you and still have a backup plan!
Need something more structured? This is where #NOVliblooks comes in...
The daily themes are as follows:
Lazy Sunday Scaries
Color My Monday
Specific Item Tuesday
Wildlife Wednesday
Trending Thursday
Friday Patterns
New & Old Saturday
Friday 11/1: Double Up. One pattern simply will not do today -- I want to see at least two!
Saturday 11/2: Unworn 3mo+. Dig deep into those drawers and closet today for something you haven't worn for at least three months.
Sunday 11/3: Zipped or Hooded. Or both...because it's Sunday and we are hiding from the world today.
Monday 11/4: Manic Mustard Monday. I have been wearing the crap out of mustard already this season, and I have no intention of stopping yet.
Tuesday 11/5: Best in a Vest. Personally, I find my days spent in vests are best. I love them THAT MUCH!
Wednesday 11/6: Birds of Feather. Birds, feathers...however you want to play this one works for me.
Thursday 11/7: Suited for You. Suit separates (and sets) are all the rage right now.
Friday 11/8: Vertical Stripe Hype. Because vertical is waaaaaayyyy better than horizontal.
Saturday 11/9: Fave from October. Put that outfit on loop!
Sunday 11/10: Return of Yoga Pants. I don't know about you, but I am pretty pumped for this. Mainly because I have to work a super long, labor-intensive day this day, but also because they're bomb.
Monday 11/11: Red Velvet Cupcake. I usually reserve red for Fridays (school colors), but let's make an exception.
Tuesday 11/12: Pleats, Ruffles, or Tiers. Time to get fancy, babes.
Wednesday 11/13: Going on Safari. Leopards, zebras and tigers, oh my!
Thursday 11/14: Dif Size Pattern Play. We are kicking pattern play up a notch this year, folks. Instead of wearing two different patterns, try two different sizes of the same pattern (big dots, little dots / gingham, buffalo plaid). Or still go with two different patterns, just dif sizes (small checks, big dots / thin strips, large leopard spots).
Friday 11/15: Houndstooth Honey. I freaking love houndstooth. And I love that it's everywhere right now even more.
Saturday 11/16: New w/Tags. Just because it's the weekend, doesn't mean we can't pop the tags off of something new -- all the more reason!
Sunday 11/17: Snazzy Sneaks. Because boring sneakers are...well, boring.
Monday 11/18: Pumpkin Spice. It never gets old. It just never gets old. Sidenote: Why can we purchase peppermint mocha year-round at sbx but not psl?
Tuesday 11/19: Ring My Bell. Bell sleeves, bell bottoms...whatever speaks to you.
Wednesday 11/20: Foxy Lady. All I can hear is that stupid What does the fox say? song in my head now. Whomp.
Thursday 11/21: Baggy Britches. I am not super into this baggy trend. I MAY be willing to try straight-leg...maybe. Anything more, probably not.
Friday 11/22: Mad for Plaid. Because I am, really.
Saturday 11/23: Unworn 6mo+. Start scrambling through your wardrobe for something you haven't worn for at least six months. Extra challenge: If you don't love it, toss it in the donate pile.
Sunday 11/24: Weekend Sweats. Have a lazy Sunday. Don't get dressed. If you do, sweatpants only. Do as I say, not as I do...I don't even own sweatpants.
Monday 11/25: Apple or Pecan Pie. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking here. Neutrals? I guess.
Tuesday 11/26: Lived-in Leather. Or new leather. Whatever.
Wednesday 11/27: Woodland Chic. One of my fave prompts. Moose, bear, squirrels...any cute furry animals that typical reside in the forest will work just fine.
Thursday 11/28: Basic Beige. Ok, so neutrals twice in the same week was a bit of an oversight. But hey, Happy Thanksgiving!
Friday 11/29: Herringbone Hoarder. Anyone else have multiple herringbone vests? Just me? It's a bit of an obsession, what can I say?
Saturday 11/30: An Old Fave. In other words, an item (or items) in excellent used condition.
Whew, that was a lot! Quite honestly, I don't know what to expect style/wardrobe challenge-wise come 2020...if anything at all. So please let me know which challenge you think you are going to follow -- I'd love to know where everyone's head is at with this. & remember to use the hashtag #LLBwardroberemix or #NOVliblooks so I can see all of you fab outfit creations!
