Let someone else choose your outfit

It's time to call in a friend or loved one. 

This week I challenge you to let someone else choose your outfit for just one day. It can be anyone you like, but I recommend you choose someone benevolent who won't intentionally make you look like a fool (although my son says it would still be fun even if your sibling chose something silly for you). 

The goal is to find a new combination in your wardrobe you hadn't noticed before or to let the person who has strong opinions about what you should wear finally get a chance to dress you. 

I chose my 10-year-old son, of course, >>
since he didn't mind the task.

I gave him free access to my closet & my drawers & told him to pick an outfit including jewelry & shoes. It might come as no surprise that it took him less than two minutes to pick out my Broncos t-shirt, jeans, & tennies :) GO BRONCOS! :-))

I asked him to pick out something for work too. He walked in the closet, picked out this outfit, & said, "Well, that was easy." He said the colors just seemed to go together...

I'm wearing: a J. Crew Factory skirt, Abercrombie blouse, Victorias's Secret cardigan, I-can't-remember-anymore-where-I-got-the-sandals, bird necklace Juliet gave me, & pearl earrings my friend Xan made for me!

Sweet pearl earrings my friend Xan made for me!

Lovely bird necklace my friend Juliet gave me! I'm sorry you can't see that I'm wearing it in the photo.

I like the outfit & I like pairing patterns, but I hadn't noticed this combo before. The colors do go together, & I think the cardigan breaks it up enough to make it all ok.  

My son had fun picking out the outfits & having the power to make me wear whatever he wanted. I hope you'll try it & send me a photo or just tell me what they picked out for you!
