For Day One of the Perfect 10 Remix Challenge, I wore stripes. For Day Two, I wore solids:
And for Day Three, I’m planning on mixing stripes and a solid. Just kidding, I have no plans for Day Three. I prefer to go where the morning takes me.

And, on Day Two, the morning took me to this look:
This look being a navy blue sleeveless tee (Gap, similar) paired with a black, pleated skirt (thrifted, similar). Yep, that’s right, black and blue. But, with neon too, in the form of my neon yellow necklace (Target) and some neon blue studs that you can’t see because of my hair. I finished the look with a multicolored belt (Target), some studded cuffs (Nordstrom) and my trusty Rieker shoes (thrifted, exact).
I have to say that I actually picked the rather staid, non-psychedelic items I chose for this challenge on purpose. I like color. A lot. All over my body. All the time. Oddly enough, not everyone feels the same way, and, as a result, there is a school of thought that says you can have a small, neutral capsule wardrobe with maybe a couple of accent pieces but that otherwise depends on accessories to add color and interest. I, of course, think this is a bunch of hooey.
But, still, it’s an interesting concept, isn’t it? So, I figured I’d use this 10 x 10 challenge to try a toned down palette, like black and white and navy, but with strong accent pieces, like neon. So far, it hasn’t been terrible, but, it’s only Day Two. By this weekend I may be sleeping in my printed dresses because I miss them so much.
Happy Wednesday, All!
