This challenge came out of a video I watched earlier this week, which I shared in this post. In the video, Elisa Goodkind talks about her current “favorite thing” - a pair of brown Gucci socks - and how those socks elevate whatever she is wearing. She is then given a challenge to create four outfits, incorporating her latest favorite thing. And she does, and the results are marvelously fun, and I thought this would be a fun challenge to try!

I’m envisioning this as one post per person, à la style lab, because I found it very interesting to see Elisa’s looks all in a row, and Jemima’s side-by-side.

The general parameters:

  • 1 favorite item that you adore - clothing, accessory, shoe, hosiery, bag, hat, your choice
  • 3-5 outfits. Or more, if you’re feeling it! It can be a WIW, a WIWW, or an experiment that will never step outside your door.

  • Everyone posts one post with all their looks together, like a style lab, by next weekend. Or later than that, it isn’t a contest, LOL.
  • It can be an outfit you’ve worn before, and that fits 100% with your current style, or you can sail (or drift) into uncharted waters.
  • Even if you never wear a look outside of the house, try to wear every look you pull together for at least an hour. The point of the challenge is to encourage, and maybe even force, creativity, with what is in your closet. And have fun!

Feel free to adapt or change the parameters if it suits you. I can’t wait to see what we all come up with!
