Summer styleUP Challenge with thredUP

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I’ve partnered with thredUP for their Summer styleUP Challenge, where I take 1 item and style it 5 different ways.

Some time ago, I shared about using thredUP. I don’t know if I really explained exactly what thredUP is.

thredUP is a fashion resale website, where you can both buy and sell secondhand clothes online. I like it because I can send in a bag (provided by them) of gently worn or like new clothes and then use the credit I earn to shop their 15K new arrivals added every day. What I really love, is that the clothes don’t take up any much needed space, while I’m waiting for them to sell and whatever doesn’t sell, they will responsibly recycle your clothing!

My favorite thredUP finds are ones that are that are unique, but easy to style a number of different ways.

This Banana Republic dress is the perfect example. I’ve partnered with thredUP to style it five different ways for summer.

  1. Keep it fun! Adding jeans and comfortable sneakers, takes a dress and makes it a summer outfit that’s perfect for both cooler days or summer nights.
  2. Spice up a dress with accessories. Wear it with a leather jacket and/or over-the-knee boots for a sexy date night look.
  3. You can never go wrong with sneakers and a denim jacket, no matter what you’re wearing. A dress is no exception.
  4. Wear it the same way, but different. Switch things up by layering a skirt over it. This essentially creates a different dress. Have a lot of skirts? Well then, lucky you, you’ve got a lot of options!
  5. My favorite way to accessorize a dress (other than over jeans), is with a belt. Matching pieces gives you a monochromatic look to wear all summer long.

Which look are you most likely to rock this summer? Make sure to check out all the pieces currently up for grabs on thredUP!

Challenge Yourself

Happy October, y’all!

I don’t know about you, but I get really excited  about stuff and then for whatever reason, that excitement fades. Quickly.

After an inspirational + extremely motivational weekend in Brooklyn, I am making an exerted effort to keep the excitement alive.

How? By challenging myself throughout the month of October.

I remember hearing that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I didn’t think much of it, aside from the fact that 21 is my favorite number thanks to 7th grade Spanish class, but it stuck with me. A month is more than that, so I’m hopeful.

Here are 4 ways I plan to challenge myself in October:

1. Gala Darling’s #lovetober. It’s the perfect photo challenge, period.

2. I will be following the One Room Challenge + challenging myself to spruce up a room of my own.

3. The Coast to Coast Challenge is a style challenge I participate in from time to time, but I want to commit to it this month and do each challenge.

4. Blog Everyday. If you blog you know that content is king. Even if you don’t blog you know that practice makes perfect. One really good blog challenge is #blogtober14. I personally won’t be doing this specific challenge, but if you need blog post ideas, it’s worth checking out.

Are you doing any October challenges? Or are you challenging yourself in another way? Follow me on Instagram to see how I doing, then let me know if you’re going to join so I can follow you as well!
