If you’ve been following along on my instagram every week, you’ll notice I host a weekly Style Challenge.

What is Style Challenge?

We could easily grab and wear the same five shirts every week, right? But the purpose of Style Challenge is to

1) wear your closet (this way we’re participating in slow fashion by not trying to keep up with trends, but trying to buy and wear timeless pieces we want to keep around for a long time), and

2) keep your outfits creatively styled with weekly themes.

BUST OUT YOUR JEWELS!

And it surprises me that I'm even doing anything jewelry related at all because I don't have much jewelry and I don't wear much jewelry. But what I've found with this style challenge is that sometimes being intentional to wear something we don't usually pick out of our closet is the best way to wear what's actually in our closet.

I love putting together outfits, but I never seem to have the motivation to consider jewelry after all the effort I feel like I’m putting into my hair, makeup, and outfits. As I’ve been planning this jewelry challenge, I’ve also been considering why I don’t wear it often. For some reason, I equate jewelry with fanciness. If I wear jewelry, I feel weird not having the rest of my outfit, hair, and makeup on as well. So, I opt to not wear it most days. And if I do wear it, I’m one of those people who puts on a necklace and is too lazy to take it off, so I end up wearing it a month or two. Ya feel me?
