Hello out there and happy Monday to you all! We’ve reached the 10 day mark in our 30-Day Spring Style My Closet Challenge. Are you following along?! If you’re just catching up, my blog bestie Heather @ Southern State of Mind and I decided to relaunch another SMCC for Spring. The goal is to get dressed every single day for 30 days and I’m happy to report I’ve made it 1/3 of the way through! Here are a few things I’ve learned 10 days in…
Ok, so I have made it, but it has been hard!! Who knew how much of a challenge this would really be?!
SPRING STYLE MY CLOSET CHALLENGE
Although I wasn’t always dressed and ready for the day first thing, I did eventually get there at some point. And you know what? An outfit, hair & make-up really does feel great!
SPRING SMCC 10 DAY UPDATE: WHAT I’VE LEARNED SO FAR
SHORTS SEASON – I’ve realized just how warm it is in Arizona at the beginning of April and my shorts game needs some work! I have a couple of pairs of shorts, but would like to get a few more: A fun pattern, olive green, black, white, and blue denim. The trick here is finding the right length! Running the kids around to practices and games is pretty much a daily activity for me, so nothing too short!
CASUAL DRESSY TOPS – Elevated tanks and tee are what I grab for the most. Those basics that are super comfortable, but a step up from a basic t-shirt. Que the ruffled sleeves! I found lots of winners in my March Amazon Haul so you’ll probably see several of these looks repeated this month!
DRESSES FOR SPRING & SUMMER – I’d like to incorporate a few casual skirts or dresses into my warm-weather wardrobe to switch things up a bit. As you can see, I’m a jeans and shorts kind of girl, so maybe I can train myself to reach for a dress or skirt some time this month!
COMFY SHOES ARE KEY – As I mentioned I’m on the go with the kids 24/7 so flat sandals or sneakers are my go-to. T surprised me with a pair of Golden Goose sneakers [actually a certificate to pick a pair out :)] for Christmas so I pulled the trigger in February and have been in living in them ever since. I recently grabbed this cute pair of bow sandals from Target and when I have a girls’ night or date night, these new clear block heels have already proven to be perfect!!
Weekend Brunch – we had friends in town so pulled for this denim shirt and white jeans. I’ve found I can only wear long-sleeves first thing in the morning or late at night in Spring. Its just too hot already!

DAY 6 // STYLE MY CLOSET CHALLENGE
A jacket is rarely needed this time of year except for the occasional cool night. A light-colored jacket is a great alternative to a black faux leather or denim jacket! I love this option!

DAY 7 // STYLE MY CLOSET CHALLENGE
From day to night chic! I was trying to pull for something other than black, white or blue denim on the bottom and so reached for these olive paperbag waist pants! I first shared them in this Target haul and most recently wore them with a black top & sneakers for Day 2 of The Innings Fest in February.
