10 ITEMS
It’s time for a challenge! Are you in for a 10×10?
You might have heard about this challenge before. In 2015, Style Bee’s Lee Vosburg, challenged herself with a 10-day Shopping Fast she invented as the 10×10 Style Challenge™. Creating a mini capsule wardrobe with only 10 items of clothing for 10 days. The goal? Living with less items and wearing clothing pieces more creatively. Like I show on my Instagram Reels more often, there are always multiple ways to wear different pieces of your clothing.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
So, what can you wear during these 10 days? Officially – according to Lee – Tops, sweaters, pants, dresses, shoes and jackets are all included and yours to pick 10 items from. Hats, bags, scarves, jewelry and gloves are not included in the 10 items, but don’t go too wild with that. We will leave winter coats out, as the weather is getting colder.
You can adjust the challenge to make it work for you. Having a hard time with the shoes, take that category out and add an extra top – for instance.
WHY
The first thought that might enter your mind may be this: ‘Why would I ever do this to myself?’ Off course I understand your initial hesitancy to this little adventure, but there are many good reasons to take this challenge on. You might want to take a short break from all the shopping and appreciate the items you already own. By doing this challenge you might start to look differently at your closet and encourage you to be more creative with the clothing pieces you already own.
WHEN
At Let’s Talk Slow we will start the 10×10 fall edition on Monday 12 July. However you can start this 10 day challenge whenever you’re ready or feel like it.
* You can also pick items that usually stay in your closet. It’s a great way of seeing how you can style the pieces differently. Hopefully it inspires you to wear it more often after the challenge.
** Make photos of your favourite outfits and save them in a folder on your phone. If you don’t know what to wear after the challenge, this is a great reminder of the lovely outfits you have created.
