Fall 2016 10x10 Challenge Looks 3 & 4

Hi guys, and back with looks 3 & 4 of my 10x10 Challenge.  Here's the post about my first two looks as well as the breakdown of the pieces I chose to include in this challenge.  So far I love love love this 10x10 thing.  It really is a way to flex my creativity muscles within a limited selection (they do say that creating boundaries and routines can help creativity flourish).

For a refresher here are a list of the 10 items again:

1) Everlane Modern Oxford (review here)

2) rag & bone booties (similar here)

3) Sanctuary Bomber Jacket (similar here or here)

4) WAYF white top

5) Theory velvet dress 

6) Frame le slim straight trouser jeans

7) Paige Verdugo pants (similar here)

8) Maison Labiche Mariniere shirt (similar here)

9) Trouve vest (thrifted)

10) Everlane cashmere cropped sweater (review here)

 

Look 3

 Wearing: Maison Labiche shirt (#8 from list above), Trouve vest (#9), frame denim (#6) and Everlane oxfords (#1)

Not loving this look nor the way the iphone camera lens makes my head look 2x bigger than it should be.  It's almost at bobble-head proportions.

Accessories: Celine sunglasses (here)

Look 4

This is my favorite look so far and I can't wait to repeat this outfit all fall.  I'm wearing my WAYF top (#4), Everlane cropped cashmere sweater (#10), Paige denim (#7), and rag & bone booties (#2)

What I love about this look is that I can just pull up the sleeves of the cashmere sweater to create different looks on top.  In the photo above I'm wearing the sleeves all the way pulled down.  So it just looks like a regular 'ole cropped sweater and white blouse combo.  In the pic below I just pulled up the sleeves of the sweater a tad so now you can start seeing the ruffles of the sleeves.  I think this is my favorite look of this combo.  There's just a bit of a ruffle.  But if I'm feeling a bit more flamboyant, then I can pull up the sleeves of the sweater half-way up my arm and now I have some awesome bell sleeves flapping in the wind.  {This pushing up and down of the sweater sleeves also comes in handy when you're eating and don't want your bell sleeves dipping into your dish--just pull down the sweater sleeves and you're set!}

Accessories: Celine sunglasses (here) and Celine small trotteur bag (similar here)

I honestly would never have thought of this combo if it hadn't been for this 10x10 challenge.  I love this challenge so much I'm thinking of just going through my whole wardrobe 10x10 at a time.  Anyway I should probably finish this challenge first before committing myself to a 10x10 forever, lol.  

P.S. I am also in love with the fall foliage in Bend, OR.
