The Completed June Dress Challenge

07/01/16 | Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Ellie Kai, Fashion and Style, Gap, Nordstrom

Oh hello July!  I can not believe that typing these words means that 2016 is half way over – how the heck did that happen? Now that the month of June is complete I want to do the final check in on the June Dress Challenge and like the last time, it was excellent. In case you need a reminder you can read all about this dress project here but the abridged version is that I was challenged / challenged myself to wear a different dress to work everyday for the month of June with no repeats and no purchases.  

Halfway through the  month I did my first checkin of the dresses I wore from June 1st to June 15th and now below you can find images from the second part of my month for 22 dresses in total.  The second half of the month was a bit more challenging, no pun intended, as I had worn many of my favorite pieces already but fun none the less. Take a look out my outfits:

My favorite day of the entire challenge has to be Wednesday, the 22nd when I wore the fuchsia dress and the flower crown – definitely a crowd pleaser and a great morning with QVC at their annual holiday press preview.  As I did last time, a huge thank you to all of my friends and coworkers who humored me by taking at least one of the photos above; Div, Gabie, Tom, Lauren, Kim, Al, and Diana. And a very special shoutout to my photographer team member Lauren who took the last two photos from the most flattering angle which instantly melt pounds – LK, you are hired! 

Which was your favorite look of the June dress challenge?

    Very Nice. I am impressed with all of your dresses for the June Dress Challenge. My favorite one is the Roxy Shore Printed Dress. Love the fuchsia dress too

    You looked absolutely gorgeous in all of these dresses, girlie, you have quite the collection! I love all of them, but I’d have to say my two favorites would have to be the 27th & 29th! I love the print and color combo for the one on the 27th and for the 29th, I love the pop over top, I’ve been looking for a maxi dress like this for forever! Thanks so much for sharing, this was such a great, fun challenge! I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

    XO,

    OMG girl you are killing it in these looks! That Loft Black and White Maxi Dress is MY FAVE!!!! So jealous of your closet lol! What a great challenge! I need to challenge myself to explore the depths of my closet too because I bet you really got a chance to see what you want to keep or get rid of or maybe put into more frequent rotation! GET IT GIRL! <3
