Each Saturday, I have been sharing my experiences as I take the 10x10 spring capsule wardrobe challenge. Well, I'm three weeks in now, and I am still hanging in there with the challenge, but I did have to make a little switcheroo... My 10x10 Swap OutAs you can see, in one of my pictures, I have added a second, outer layer. Though this cardigan is not one of my ten choices, I put it in the closet to wear on any chilly days we might have. Surprisingly, we have had a few! And it has been happening so often that I decided during the week to swap out a top I hadn't worn so that I could make this rust cardi an actual part of my 10-piece capsule. I swapped out my oatmeal-colored button down top. I figured that if I hadn't worn it yet, there was a good chance I wasn't going to, and I might as well exchange it for something the weather had proven I would keep wearing. Here's What I Wore this WeekMy Favorite Outfits this Week![]() Of my outfits this week, I'd say my favorites were the cool-morning ones with my rust-colored cardigan and my denim jacket. And the terracotta striped top layered over my olive one. I really like layering, but just can't always do it with the painfully hot temps in the warmer seasons. What was your favorite outfit this week? By the way, I apologize for the sometimes grainy quality of my pics. My photographer, also known as beloved son, is not always available. :) But sometimes, I am wearing even more vibrant color than the picture indicates. For example, the picture above, that I took with my iPad, is a close-up of the same outfit in one of the other pics, & I am wearing four colors. Can you tell I'm thinking, "please let this one not look ridiculous," and that it wasn't my first try? A photog, I'm not! See you tomorrow! Love, Jeanine

Oh, thanks! Yes, it is and that's part of the reason why I bought it all those years ago. Well, the heat will be here, soon, too, and that will mean the end of my long-sleeved cardigans and jackets. Yes, I think it makes getting dressed much easier when you weed out what you're not going to wear.

Thanks!! You know, I have been thinking about trying them together, but just didn't feel sure. But hey, maybe I can try that sometime next week. I think I'll go put them together in my closet tonight, so I won't forget. Thanks for the idea!

It's been interesting reading your experience going through the capsule challenge. I haven't always commented. Since we're still getting snow off and on and freezing nights here in Michigan I'd be keeping an extra layer piece or two, too.

Thanks, Kat!! Yes, I can imagine you would need layers. If you were doing a 10x10, you might do several cardigans or jackets as part of your 10-piece capsule.
