Hi,
This is a recap of Week 1 for DH’s closet challenge. To read more about the challenge, including
the rules, click here.
Stats for Week 1:
5 bottoms (dark and mid wash skinny jeans, camo print skinny
jeans, black skinny jeans, mid wash bootcut jeans)
1 hoodie
2 toppers (poncho and fleece -gear for riding)
3 knits (grey, leopard, horse print)
1 white shirt
2 LS T’s
3 tanks
1 Thermal layer (Uniqlo heattech)
1 scarf
2 workout outfits (top and bottom)
Reflections:
The closet was very bright without all the clothes in there
to block the light. And peaceful because
there was NO clutter.
I selected mostly skinny jeans. Knowing that I’ll be heading into winter
during the challenge, I prefer to sport jeans tucked into boots in colder
months. I did keep one pair of bootcut
jeans just to have a little variety.
I wore less bottoms than I expected. If I had preplanned the week, I would have
guessed;7 bottoms and 7 toppers. Instead
I noticed I did not mind repeating bottoms for work and the weekend. And I even repeated a pair as riding gear. I don’t expect that to happen too often, but
it was nice to reuse a pair of jeans instead of pulling out a separate “riding
only” pair.
It’s not cold enough to layer heavily yet, so I’m not
pulling out blazers yet.
A solid top is very versatile. I repeated the grey knit twice in one week,
partially because I could pair a scarf to change up the look.
Timing of laundry is important. A mid week wash instead of waiting til the weekend,
meant I was able to repeat tops more often. I doubt I’ll be able to wash mid
week all the time, but it’s something I’m keeping in mind.
Selecting tops was difficult at first, I wanted to make sure
I picked the most versatile one’s so I could keep the overall number
small. That felt like cheating, so instead
I selected 7 current favorites.
And here are photos. I'll try to snap the outfits this weekend.
Edit to add: here are the first week of outfits.
Thanks for reading!
