6 items or less challenge Week 6 Complete
Whoppeee!!!!!!!!! I hope my posts really show you guys how possible it is to create 30 different looks with just 6 pieces !!!To be honest the most difficult thing about this challenge was blogging it and getting the pictures by myself. The creation of the looks has been the best part and I'm really excited to do this again with another set of clothes.

6 items or less challenge {Outfit 30}
And we're at the end of the road...
I layered the cardigan below the sweater to create a dark base throughout. I pulled the cardigan up to create a peter pan like collar so that it would alter the pink sweaters V-neck.

This outfit uses same exact pieces as outfit 10. The difference is that the splitter is moved lower and instead of looping ends to the neck you loop to tie at the waist.

6 items or less challenge Week 5 Complete
Week 5 Complete!!!!
When I look back at week 5's outfits, it really doesn't seems like I'm wearing the same thing over and over. I think tights really break up the outfits.

Can you see what a difference a simple scarf makes. I actually got this scarf at the Housing Works Shop the Bag sale and it literally cost me way less than a $1 and I hadn't had a chance to wear it because of all my clutter. I love how it quickly creates this Boticelli Palate and vibe instanlty to my outfit. For that reason, I think I'm definately packing this scarf with me.

6 items or less challenge {Outfit 25}
I can't believe I never thought to create this outfit before, its super cool because its super neutral tons throughout. And I know my cheap camera thats nearly broken can't pick up that the jacket's tubing is actually silver.

The camera doesn't do this style justice, you can see it but its creates this super tight at the waist fitted layered cardigan. It almost looks like a super fitted blazer .

I don't particularly love this outfit or any of the ones that use the dress as a skirt piece but it is professional and if I button the blazer it makes the skirt look more fitted. I would probably wear this on a day I felt extra tummy fat to hide the muffin top.

So cool, I am loving this cardigan so many different ways to wear it. It even makes a super sexy tanktop, which I'm not using for a look because these are work outfits. But to get this dainty shirt style you basically tie the arms of the cardigan to create a tube top and then take the ends and flip them to create the arms of the shirt. And you lastly secure with skinny belt. I put on a contrasting undershirt so you could see the ties clearly but in reality I would wear a black undershirt.

I put on tights so that it it would hopefully help break up the look and make it not seem so obvious that I had same dress on day before. This is essentially Outfit one just with a different statement necklace.

6 items or less challenge Week 4 Complete
I really think that picking 6 items and creating 30 different outfits is totally possible. You don't even need to have 30 different, you could probably create 14 outfits and no one would notice. And if you've noticed with my posts, I'm really conservative with accessories. If I really did pull out more of my accessories, I could even do more than 30 outfits so realistically you could do this. I actually am doing this on more casual scale because of my decluttering and its WAY easier on my life. I don't spend much time on picking what to wear and I actually think I dress better hahah because there's less to choose from.

So for this outfit, I layered my Cardigan below my dress to create this cartoon girl vibe. I am introducing a new necklace with black beads to kinda tie the outfit even further.

6 ITEMS for 30 days Challenge {Outfit 19}
The 6 items or less challenge allows for unlimited accessories. I used a white pashmina I happen to have on hand to cover my undershirt. And its versatile because if I'm working and I feel stiff in blazer I can use the pashmina as a wrap to cover up my undershirt.

6 items or less challenge Week 3 Complete
Week 3 looks complete, I still think it doesn't look obvious that I'm wearing 6 pieces over and over again. I think if I were doing this in an actual run, I could change stockings colors and that would further differentiate the looks. Although for work it would be sheer black, dark grey and light grey.

This is probably my most casual and girly outfit ever. I would only wear this on a Friday preferably before a holiday. Again the sweater because the dress isn't well fitted makes the hemline of the skirt shorter. The only good thing about the more baggy fit is that it hides a muffin top. I used my versatile cardigan as a scarf because I wanted to disguise the awkward neckline since the sweater is a V-neck and the dress is a more round neck. By doing this it makes it less obvious that I'm wearing a dress underneath. I put on moccasins to complete the more preppy girly look and because I hadn't worn these in forever.
Note: Normally in a conservative corporate environment, I would strongly advise wearing anything to girly. Since I'm pretty confident and established in my skills, I can get away with it. But if your new graduate or new to company..avoid this look by selecting a non-pink sweater.
