10 x 10 Spring Challenge: What I Wore In 10 Days (TW #162)
The last two weeks I put my Spring capsule wardrobe to the test by doing a “10×10 Challenge“. If you use a capsule wardrobe system, you can do this challenge by wearing 10 items for 10 straight days. This type of challenge not only motivates you to make the most of your clothes, but you discover which clothes in your closet you love to wear the most. If you read my post a couple of weeks ago, 10×10 Challenge: Spring 2018, I shared which 10 items I planned to use in the challenge. I also shared how a 10×10 challenge works. If you want to try a 10×10 challenge yourself, comment below and let me know!
This was the 3rd challenge I participated in. It seems like this one was the easiest. I don’t know it’s because I’ve gotten use to how it works or if I really enjoyed wearing all the items in this mini wardrobe! This challenge tested a few of my favorite clothes in my Spring capsule wardrobe. The tops and bottoms I chose are my favorite basic essentials for the Spring. The key to making a challenge like this and for a full capsule wardrobe work, is to use basic essentials in mostly solid, neutral colors. Examples of basic essentials are a dark navy striped top, gray boyfriend cardigan, chambray shirt, white button-up shirt, white tee, black tee, gray tee, blue jeans, black ankle pants or gray jeans.
I posted all of the following 10×10 challenge outfit photos on my Instagram account. Check out what I wear from my capsule wardrobe, plus more on Instagram.

Here’s what I enjoyed the most about this 10×10 Challenge:
My favorite 10×10 Challenge item: it has to be the Veranda Bell Sleeve Stripe Shirt! I love the color, the fit and the feminine-looking bell sleeves.
My favorite outfit: It’s a toss-up between Day 4 and Day 8. I think those are my favorites because of the accessories! Straw bags are on trend again this Spring!

Great 10×10! I love every single outfit combo! I’ve been wanting a new white t-shirt – that Halogen v-neck looks like a thicker, better quality material than many I’ve seen lately.

Thank you so much for the feature! I really appreciate it! Thanks again!
Loving that larger size straw bag! Great pieces for transition.
I have not tried 10×10 but thank you for showing us it can be done so well! Will actually have an opportunity in a couple of weeks during our nine day vacation to Cali. We will only be taking our “personal item” on the plane*, and will need a pared-down yet versatile wardrobe. So your timing is impeccable! Appreciate your posts. (*Sealable plastic bags are the key. Air takes up space. Get ride of the air and you can fit a lot into an 18x14x8 bag!)
Prefect post for any vacay plans.
Love this 10X10 challenge! I’m between a medium & large for the Madewell central shirt–do you recommend sizing up on this?
Elle, I’m between a Medium and a Large in Madewell clothes, so I bought a Medium in the Striped Central Shirt. I tried on the Large and it was too big on me.
Thank you Leanne!
CUTE STRAW BAG!
I love your round straw purse—I just ordered one and can’t wait to break it out!

I love this challenge! I will try this for the next 10 day!
You make it look so easy! Great job, LeAnne! I’ve been a loyal customer of yours for a few years now–you have a great eye for what you do!
Thank you Ophelia!
Do the Boden tees run true to size?
I size up on the tops.
