Fashion Challenge: Wear the Same Item for a Week

By Candy

If you’re an avid College Fashion reader, you’re probably a fan of playing dress up. If so, you’re not alone – if I’m in the right mood, there’s nothing more fun than taking a pair of shorts or my favorite LBD and figuring out new ways to wear them.

And as we’ve discussed here in the past, the more time you spend mixing and matching, the more outfit options you’ll have — and who can say no to a closet that feels bigger? Not only will this benefit you personally, but it will (in a small way) contribute to the sustainable fashion efforts that are becoming more and more of a hot topic.

In addition to our weekly Fashion Challenges, at the beginning of this year we mentioned a few style challenges popular with bloggers. Some of these (like the Six Items or Less challenge) require a lot of time and dedication, while others are a bit less demanding on one’s time. This week, CF challenges you to pick an item in your closet and wear it every day for a week. This is a less-extreme take on The Uniform Project, where a blogger wore the same little black dress for an entire year.
