Petite Fashion Challenge #6: Dress Up Your Basics

The day has finally come to unveil all the participants of the Petite Fashion Challenge #6!

We had a lot of participants and it’s awesome to discover new petite blogs. If you’d like to host a Petite Fashion Challenge, sign up at the AlterationsNeeded forum. By the way, next month’s host will be Jessy of The Little Dust Princess!

I’m sure you’re all curious about everyone’s outfits so scroll to the bottom for the list of participants.

The Challenge: Dress Up Your Basics

Jeans and a tee is a classic outfit starter. Depending on what you layer over this basic pairing, you can change style and feel of the entire look. This is your chance to show your personality and your creativity.

For this challenge, start off with a jeans and tee basic look (it can be any style or color) and dress it up to show off your personal style with accessories, jewelry, and whatever you’d like to add.

To tackle this challenge, I wanted a simple outfit that reflects my personality. Accessories and details matter so much more when there are less layers to wear.

With a neutral color scheme, I selected some of my favorite items as well as some new additions. It was about 50 degrees when I decided to take photos so I had to include my uber-cozy marled cardigan. The scarf and jeans are new…gotta love the palm tree print to remind me of Los Angeles.

Some have mentioned that I tend to wear boho-hipster outfits and I guess it’s true. I can’t deny the influence that LA has on my clothing choices and there will be changes as I adapt to life near San Francisco.

I just love quirky and artsy influences as long as I can make it look neat and polished.

Through this challenge I hope to show that we don’t need a certain clothing item or a certain accessory to make us stylish. Just a few well-placed accessories and you can have a totally new look. From the rocker to bohemian, girly or tomboy, there’s infinite possibilities and I’m sure you’ll be able to tell from everyone’s looks. We are all different and we express ourselves in many ways despite our basic “jeans and tee” outfit.

Hopefully this challenge has inspired you to be more creative with your outfits and find some new looks to incorporate into your everyday life.

Outfit Details: Madewell cardigan – XS, Ann Taylor tiered tee – XS, Gap Curvy jeans – 00P, Emma Stine earrings, thrifted belt, Peggy Li feather ring, Urban Outfitters scarf, BCBG boots
