Shop your Closet 7 day challenge, Polka Dots, & Pearls

For the next week I am participating in The Wardrobe Code's Shop your Closet 7 day challenge. This means no shopping for 7 days and only wearing what I already have in my closet. Sounds easy, right?? I hope so because I will extending the challenge to myself for the entire month!

Here is some of what I will be learning through this challenge:

  • "How to identify my best pieces,
  • How to get out of a wardrobe rut,
  • How to craft the perfect outfit - balanced with essential pieces, and
  • How to use color and texture the right way."

I'm really excited to see what I can do with what I already have. I will be a day behind in posting each day's challenge since I won't find out what it is until that morning.



 
Navy Polka Dot Button-up: Thrifted - similar, similar // Red Pencil Skirt: (sold out in red) via Lane Bryant - similar, similar // Nude Patent Flats: exact via Payless - similar, similar // Pearl Necklace: (old) via Beall's Outlet - similar, similar
 
 


 
The Breakdown:
 
Shirt: Thrifted, $8
Skirt: Lane Bryant, $27
Heels: Payless, $25
Necklace: Beall's Outlet, $8

    Great goals for the challenge! Great classic pieces, yet still modern with the addition of the nude pumps!

    I love the idea of this challenge since for most people it's not realistic to go shopping for new pieces all the time! This is such a sophisticated yet still fun (with the polka dots) work look!

      I really wish I had sized down on this one. It's just a tad big and long. I'll have to look into getting it altered.

    Sounds like a great challenge, although I don't think I can go a few days without shopping, I know its bad haha! You look lovely, I adore polka dot paired with red.
