Would You Try The Slow Fashion 10×10 Wardrobe Challenge?

Lee Vosburgh

As is the case with most bloggers, I started Style Bee as a creative outlet where I could share my love for fashion and design.

I  began focusing on responsible style at the start of 2016 when I just couldn’t take any more of the fast fashion mindset.

I’d become increasingly interested in slowing down, shopping thoughtfully and building a closet I could feel good about for years, not just seasons.

My closet used to be a source of anxiety for me but since I let go of the need to ‘keep up’ and constantly ‘add’ it’s become a source of contentment and satisfaction.

Having only functional pieces I love to wear makes getting ready a pleasure instead of a dilemma!

Style

My outfits usually start with one piece that I’m excited to wear. Then I build on that item with another piece that I feel compliments it well.

I’ll pick my shoes and bag next and finish the look with a touch of jewelry and if needed a great top layer. Coats, blazers, and vests are my favourite way to finish a look!

There are so many wonderful options when it comes to responsible brands now but Elizabeth Suzann has been a long-time favourite and I love Garmentory for shopping all the best indie boutiques and discovering new designers.

The 10×10 Challenge 

The 10 x 10 Challenge is an exercise I established in 2015 to help encourage myself to get more creative with my clothes during a 30 day shopping fast I was on at the time. The concept is essentially a microcapsule closet that you work with for 10 days, trying new looks and styling your clothes in ways you might not otherwise try.

The basic guidelines

  • pick any 10 items from your current closet
  • style those items into 10 different looks
  • use 10 days to do it
  • have fun and don’t take it too seriously!
