Style Story 19: Five Day Denim Challenge

There’s a Five Day Denim Challenge on. It was called by Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller. I hadn’t heard about it until my friend Sheela from Sheela Writes asked if I was up for it. At first I kind of laughed because when I’m on summer vacation, I pretty much live in jeans–of some sort whether it’s jeans, cutoff shorts, or a cutoff skirt. It’s during the school year while working that I rarely wear jeans and the summer that I get my denim fill. But, as per usual I’m always up for a challenge, so here you have it: The Five Day Denim Challenge.

Day 1: Five Day Denim Challenge:

My mom is very sweet to us. Minutes after we arrive home from our school year abroad, she ushers us down stairs for Christmas in June. This year, she got me three great pieces from Athleta, including these joggers. They are officially my new travel pant, and they were the first thing I wore this week. Very comfortable, very chic (at least that’s how I felt!).

Day 2: Five Day Denim Challenge:

I wore this outfit during our last week in Hong Kong (for this past school year) on a date night. Do you ever get an outfit just right you know it will be on serious repeat. That’s the case with this scenario. The crop top is boxy and actually see through but cautiously so. The suede shorts are the perfect length–not too short nor too long. And my lace up shoes add one more little detail. We leave for Seattle today for a week and this outfit will come.

Day 3: Five Day Denim Challenge:

For a day shopping about downtown Spokane, I felt this was the perfect outfit. I actually brought this skirt home to sell on my Poshmark account, but now I’m having second thoughts. When you want a mini skirt, but can’t wear your cutoff denim because you’re in the midst of a five day denim challenge, this skirt fits the bill!

Day 4: Five Day Denim Challenge:

The diy for these shoes will be posted next week. I have been coveting the fringe sandal, but…. I just couldn’t find the exact pair I wanted. When it went around the ankle like these the shoes were always miles high (which I just cannont do!). If they were of the sandal style it all seemed like a little too much fringe. When I saw these wedges at Target, I knew I had found my pair to embellish! They will be my summer sandal.

Day 5: Five Day Denim Challenge:

I went super casual here. I am anticipating my time out in Idaho and hence pulled out the camo pants! I had these all year in Hong Kong, and obviously never got around to wearing them. I don’t know why I brought them over there as they are clearly meant for our Spirit Lake cabin–which I cannot wait to get to. Well I can… we have a week of Seattle and then we’ll be there! Hola!

Could you go five days without denim? Now that I have I think I’ll bring only denim on my trip to the other side of the state.
