One year ago I signed up for my first Style Me Challenge with Alison at Get Your Pretty On. I wanted to step up my clothing game and try something new, and I was not disappointed. White jeans, leopard print, maxi skirts - all things I would never have tried on my own.
Even better than the clothes is the group of ladies that I've gotten to know through the challenges. What a group of supportive, inspiring women! We've bonded over our love of fashion and branched out into other topics in our Friday Style Me Bloggers linkups. I know that I've found some lifelong friends in this group and I couldn't be happier.
So here we are a year later, and it's time for the Spring Style Me Challenge again. I really debated whether or not to sign up for this one since spring weather in Seattle is at least another month away. But in the end, I didn't want to miss out on the fun, and I decided I could modify the outfits to suit a cooler climate.
The outfit on day one called for camo pants with a bright coat and flats. Which I do not have yet - fail! I decided to flip things around and wear my bright color on the bottom with leopard print.
Day two called for a striped dress and wedges. Except it was pouring down rain and windy - double fail! So I copied a few of my style me friends and added leggings, a denim jacket and a scarf. At least my colors are spring like!
Be sure to check out the other ladies to see what they're wearing, and come back on Friday when the Style Me Bloggers will be sharing our top 3 spring looks. Plus, we'll have a giveaway!
I love your twist on both looks! That striped dress is so cute!

Thanks Jill. It's really old!
DeleteYou look amazing in that shade of blue! I have had to add leggings to my dress a few times this spring. We have some pretty chilly days here in April! Lovely as always (: Susan
ReplyDeleteI was surprisingly warm in the leggings. Thanks Susan!
DeleteLove both of your outfits. Love that you copied Deena And Shaunacey too.
ReplyDeleteTotally unplanned but pretty funny!
DeleteI think your twist on the looks works perfectly!

Thanks Lisa!
DeleteI love the matching leopard print belt and shoes! Looking good, Lana!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I would have never worn leopard print before the style challenges.
DeleteYou may be canadian at heart adding in the leggings to your dress! I love that look!
ReplyDeleteSince I live so close to the border, it must be rubbing off on me!
DeleteReally like your looks. I commented on Deena's blog that I think we veteran challengers have truly embraced the GYPO Style Me Challenges when we can take Alison's great ingredients and adapt them to make outfits that work for us. My sister added leggings to her striped dress today and you both really rocked that look! What brand of leggings are those? Such a great fit! You are so clever to flip the first look around to add your color to the pants instead of the jacket. I am still working on my confidence to change the looks around. Hope you rub off on me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie - you're always so sweet. The leggings are the HUE brand from Nordstrom and I love them.
DeleteHappy yearaversary of style challenges! So glad you came into my life!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! It's been the very best part.
DeleteLove your looks!! I want your striped dress!!!! So happy we all decided to do this again!! The highlight of the challenges is definitely meeting all of you!! So fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Shaunacey guilted us into it - haha!
DeleteI LOVE the colored pants (I'm sure that's a surprise lol). AND YAY leggings with striped dress :)
ReplyDeleteFinally I have colored pants!
DeleteI really love your leopard shoes! Those are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara. I got them last year at Nordstrom.
Delete2 great outfits. I have been trying a different version of that second outfit a few times this Spring, so far. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ada!
DeleteWow! I can't believe it's been a year. You must have started soon after blogging.
ReplyDeleteYou always look very stylish, I must say. Never one bad one in the bunch.
Ha ha - that's because I only show the decent ones. You should see me the rest of the time!

DeleteI just LOVE that dress from day two and all of the spring colors! Such a great transition outfit!! I really need to try this challenge somex.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I think you would really enjoy the challenges. Hope you join us soon!
DeleteI really like the pink of your scarf and blue striped dress. Very cute! I feel you on the weather, it was wonderful this week, but next week it is supposed to be back in the 50's again :(
ReplyDeleteAnd right after I said how cold spring is, we're having 70's!
DeleteI love how a few of you were able to improvise with the dress - so cute. Love the color of your jeans on day one. So pretty, friend
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie!
DeleteI started out with a style challenge, too, and it seriously catapulted any fashionable outfits I ever put together ever! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI've definitely been dressing better since I met Alison!
