Capsule Wardrobe Challenge: Day 4 - Scarf as a Belt, Turquoise and Bold Tights

Is it Friday yet?

The fourth day of the capsule wardrobe challenge was to capture three Spring trends: creative use of scarfs thanks to warmer temperatures, turquoise accessories and bold patterned or colored tights. I'm sorry that my pictures didn't come out well today because of wrong lighting and limited time.



Today was a true remix of the pieces from the first three days. I added the fence patterned tights (couldn't go crazier at work) and the little turquoise ladybug pin which was on my accessory list for the challenge.



I love scarfs so I try to use them Winter or Summer. In Winter, I generally use warmer scarfs around my neck and shoulders. However, I have the best fun with scarfs during summer when I use them as a headband, belt, on a plain handbag to add color and details or I even wrap small bandannas around my wrist like a bracelet.



Scarfs don't wear out and they all have potential to be useful. So I don't get rid of unused scarfs near as much as other wardrobe items. As a result, I have a lot of scarfs and I don't wear some of them often enough. I decided to create a challenge for myself to wear a different scarf every day and make them useful until I go through my scarf drawers. It's starting next Monday. What wardrobe items do you accumulate the most?

Pretty!

I have so many scarves, it is ridiculous. Some are seasonal by weight or color, but I could never go through them all for a challenge. I would probably be wearing a scarf every day for over 2 months. Eeep!

Yay! Thank you. I haven't counted my scarfs but I'll be on this challenge for quite some time I'm sure.
