Minimalist Fashion Challenge!

Hello, hello! I've decided to do another fashion challenge! Yay! I had fun with last year's T-Shirt Challenge and Frock Challenge, so I'm doing it again, but this time I'm testing out the "less is more" adage. Here are some of my favorite minimalist styles, the greatness of which I hope to achieve!

Basically, I'll wear two pieces or less (i.e., top + bottom at the most or simply a dress at the very least). Accessories (e.g. hats, socks and jewelry) and footwear don't count towards the number of pieces.


Apparently, I'm always looking for unnecessary ways to make my life harder. ;P I really like these challenges, though! They force me to think creatively about how I wear certain things. Plus, it will be nice to go outside my layered up comfort zone for a bit. I figured Summer would be the best time to do this, so yeah. This could be either super boring or super awesome. We'll see! Haha. Here goes!

What Dreams May Come

Floral crown? What?! Yeah, man. This JUST happened. Well, actually this happened last week. Haha. I wore this outfit to brunch and then my partner and I went for a bike ride. I posted a photo of me with my bike on Instagram and the outfit was so well received that I decided to take better photos of it and put them up on the old blog. So, here you go! Also, in my defense, the floral crown was free. :D
Oh man, I look so girly. Bah! >_< Haha. If I remember correctly, I got the over sized cream cardigan from the men's section of a local vintage shop. The floral top I'm wearing is a dress. Yup! :D You last saw me wearing it in this previous post. When I was getting ready and my partner saw me in the dress he said it was cute and asked if I was going to wear that out. I was like 'yeah...but not quite.' Haha. I just really liked how the pale yellow and florals looked with the high waisted grass green shorts. ^_^

I think these almond sandal flats went well with the outfit, too. I couldn't really think of any other color that would compliment the pale yellow, green and pastel florals. For casual sandals, these shoes look so smart/sophisticated. They're also super comfy and easy to bike in. I'm really happy with them.

Here's a nice closeup of the colors in my dress and the actual color of my shorts. You can even make out the belt loops at the sides of the dress. Haha. This outfit may be a bit jerry-rigged, but I'm cool with it. When I look at my closet, I see a range of possibilities. I refuse to wear clothing in a singular way.

Earlier I mentioned that I got the floral crown for free. I used my Chic Points on Chictopia to purchase it. I never thought I would wear flowers in my hair. I had just resigned myself to live vicariously through other bloggers who did that sort of thing. Haha. I think I look like a goof ball, but some part of me just felt like the outfit could use some extra sweetness (as if it isn't cloying enough already haha). <3

Oh and that's just my pet octopus, Jerry. He likes to hang out and what not. ^___^
