One Item 5 Ways Styling Challenge

We’ve all got that one thing that makes us feel invincible. Maybe it is a killer blazer or a sharply pleated midi skirt or the most amazing pair of shoes. You slip it on and get instant tingles.

You know the piece?

This is your Secret Weapon. It’s the thing you always grab when you’ve got an important meeting, you’re making a life-altering introduction, attending a special event. You love this thing because you feel confident, sure, and centered.

Sometimes clothes can do that for us. It’s like having a secret weapon or brilliant armor. There is something about it that makes you just feel great.

Feeling great is something we could all use just a dash more of right now. So, here is a challenge designed to make you feel all the feels, try something new, and be creative.

This week you’re going to take your favorite secret weapon garment, and create 5 looks with it! In other words, how can you wear this five different ways? Make it a day look if it’s meant for night. Make it fancy, make it casual. Change it up with accessories and hairstyles.

Break the Rules

This is the first rule: break the rules. Remember, fashion isn’t bound by rules anymore. In a 2016 article in Vogue, Fashion Law was abolished. Individuality and self-expression take priority over stuffy old rules.

So don’t worry if you’re piece is white and it’s after Labor Day… or if you shouldn’t wear shiny metallics at any time but the Holidays.

First and foremost, choose the item that makes you happy.

Re-imagine It

This is where your creativity gets to run wild. If you’re stuck here, jump on Instagram or Pinterest for some styling inspo.

You can change the entire vibe of an outfit by simply styling it. Cuffing your pant legs, popping a collar, rolling the sleeves are all great places to play around. Throwing a denim jacket over a polished cocktail dress instantly creates an interesting and unexpected day look. Wearing Keds with a skirt ensemble is quite the editorial statement.

Just have fun running amok with the ideas. You may come up with more than you anticipate.

Post It!

Pics or it didn’t happen!

When you’ve decided on your creation, get dressed up, and snap a pic for the ‘gram! Even if you’re Sheltering in Place, this is an expressive and fun way to try something new.

Share it on your IG Stories and tag @starnerstyles so we can see how you’re styling your piece every day! We can’t wait to see your creativity and design vision.
