I see these fashion challenges all over the internet and thought it would be cool to try one. I’ve seen challenges where bloggers choose 30 items including shoes, bags and accessories and only wear those 30 items for the entire month. I am putting a little twist on this challenge. I chose 8 items including not including accessories and decided to style 12 looks. So for the next week you will see different ways to style the following pieces

So for the first look I paired a black sheath dress, with a blue and white striped t-shirt, and a pair of red flats. This look is for a casual day at work. Sometimes our feet need a break from the heels so flats are a necessity. I chose red to add a pop of color to the look. I also included other accessories like a black handbag, which all women should own, reader glasses (prescription or fashion) and a pair of pearl earrings. Most people I know love Starbucks, I’m more of a Dunkin Donuts type girl, but you get the picture.
