Day 21 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

Talk about getting creative! This challenge has helped me do just that- its been a fun journey seeing unexpected combinations come together with the pieces I chose. Although, I will be happy to get back to a little more variety this past month has helped me truly value classic  pieces-  they really are the foundation of a fabulous wardrobe.

Day 20 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

It is hard to believe that this is our last couple days of our Fall Essentials Challenge. I have loved re-mixing and re-thinking things in my closet, and I encourage you all to do the same! It is so easy to want to go out and get something new, but there is much inspiration to be found in our very own closets! I love today's combo of a mini-skirt with a quilted jacket and booties - perfect for these warmer fall days! Blessings to you all today!

Day 19 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

The "Fall Essentials Challenge' will be coming to an end this week but I'm determined to end the week strong with some really fun looks. This one in particular is one of my favorites, I recently added my final 23rd piece, Old Navy's Rock Star grey denim and could not be more pleased with them. I had to try several styles and sizes before finalizing my selection but it was well worth the time and patiance. The Rock Star's are comfortable and at a price point of $34 (not on sale!) you really cannot go wrong. If you are looking to add some cute, comfortable, and inexpensive pieces to your fall wardrobe I highly recommend making a stop at Old Navy! Here are some things I'm currently eyeing from their latest collection- flannel button down, glasses shirt, poncho, & heels!

Day 17 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

The colors here in Minnesota have been the most beautiful I can ever remember, which has called for extra long walks and runs lately! It has been an awesome fall and we are enjoying every minute of it. Our closet challenge has really caused me to re-think the clothes in my closet and to mix and match in new and innovative ways. Thinking up new combos has been so fun! I urge you to take a step back this week and think about how you can make new outfits with what you already have in your closet!
