How to Pick Your 10 Pieces
Once you’ve decided that you’re brave enough to take on the challenge, it’s time to pick your 10 pieces! The key is to pick items that are versatile. You’ll be wearing them for 10 days so you want to be able to mix and match to get different looks. So here are a few tips to help you pick smartly:
- Pick a color scheme- when you stick with a color scheme, any of your tops will be able to be paired with any of your bottoms because they’ll all go together nicely. Same thing with your shoes. Make sure your shoes will match any of the clothing items you’ve chosen.
- Pick versatile pieces- you want to pick pieces that can be worn in multiple ways. You want them to mix and match with different pieces so you get different looks.
- Pick a variety- if you want to avoid getting bored and tired of wearing the same 10 pieces for 10 days, then make sure to pick a variety. Pick skirts, pants, jeans…a variety of tops and bottoms that will give you some creative liberty.
