During the month of August, I followed the #trendyruffleprepstyle style challenge on Instagram that helped create my #ootds (outfit of the day). Three ladies, @trendyteacher, @pennsylvania_prep_girl, and @ruffletuesday ran it. Each week they included five days worth of outfit ideas. Wow! Did it ever help me revitalize my closet. I couldn’t believe how inspirational it was to follow a prompt when getting dressed. I love clothes–probably too much. Therefore, I have a lot of clothes–again, probably too much! Even though I am a clothes horse, I also tend to gravitate to the same items day after day. Following a style challenge however made me shop my own closet. For example, on Friday (the top left-hand outfit), I wore a top that I picked up years ago while living in Saudi Arabia. I also wore a belt that I think I may have owned since high school! I sometimes think to get rid of this belt, but because it’s so unique I never have. During the month of August, I really enjoyed knowing the night before what I was going to wear. It took minutes off getting ready in the morning. I love planning an outfit; having prompts like “white-out” or “chambray all the way” really got me styling. Because I couldn’t find another style challenge that went week by week, I’ve decided to host my own for the month of September.
Follow along! See if it helps you get the best out of your wardrobe! You can follow me on Instagram @krembdelakremb, and you can see my daily outfit pictures (#ootd) on my Kremb de la Kremb Tumblr.
