Are you excited for something new on Lichtenstyle? The first change is that the majority of posts are going to be outfit posts, and I'm going to try very, very hard to keep to that promise. Doing this, however, is not as easy as it seems, as I, a high school junior, tend to focus more on how much sleep I'll be getting nightly than what I'll be wearing the next day. Sure, it's important, but sometimes it's second priority.
I also have an intense online shopping addiction. Like, if your shopping-savviest friend told you they had a problem, multiply that by 5. That's me and online shopping. If I could marry my computer or my credit card, I would.
But that's where the 30 day closet remix challenge (CRC) comes in, and, boy, am I excited. If you've never heard of it before, it's essentially where you're not allowed to shop for 30 days (boo!) and you have to make 30 outfits out of whatever clothing you have in your closet. Easy enough, right? But then on top of that, I'm adding two more rules: I can't repeat outfits, and whatever's left unworn at the end of the 30 days is getting tossed out. Just like that. I dig this idea a lot, because I'm running out of hangers anyway, and I'll be killing two birds with one stone. Score.
So check back starting tomorrow to watch me embark on this 30 day madness adventure. See you then!
Have you ever done this challenge? Would you ever do this challenge?
The first look I paired is very simple, but with a lot of elements that make it exciting. While the sweater is a neutral, the necklace piece adds a bit of sparkle. The leather finish of the pants do the same to boring black pants. The chambray shirt beneath the sweater and low black boots make the outfit polished. Finally, the military green jacket (that is so in right now!) has a furry hood for extra warmth and comfort.
While this outfit is a bit dark, I kind of adore it. A simple black sweater dress or tunic with a nice, dark colored plaid layered beneath it keeps your torso warm. With a pair of fleece lined leggings (they're real, and beautiful) your body will be cozy all day. A nice set of pearls will add the bit of sparkle to make the outfit shine, and some high boots, heeled or not, ensure maximum foot warmth.
The last look is absolutely my favorite. If you haven't noticed a trend yet, I tend to favor neutrals during the winter months. When putting this one together, I wanted it to consist of pieces I could grab with twenty minutes to go and still be cute and warm. Start with a nice pair of dark jeans and a neutral sweater, top with a nice, flow-y cardigan-y sweater, and add a nice dark scarf for a pop of winter color. Finally, a pair of short brown boots with some sparkly hardware makes the outfit beyond average.
