1 Quest for you to try
As the holiday season approaches, we’re setting out on a creative quest to get “crafty” with our wardrobes! This week I challenge you to dive into warm, cozy looks that feel festive and fashionable, but still uniquely you by “crafting” a versatile outfit that can take you from holiday dinner with the family to a laid-back game night with friends!
How to participate
- Choose: Select an unworn piece from your closet to upcycle or “craft” a new look with
- Create: Use your crafting tools to update your unworn piece and/or create a versatile outfit with your newly updated item that can be worn casually or formally for a fall-iday function
- Capture: Share your outfit with #VostraModaQuest, or reply to this email with your entry.
The most inspiring outfit will be featured next week! Please let me know if you would like to remain anonymous.
2 Tips to help you slay
For this week’s quest, I chose to lean into the crafting side of things with a special outfit accent – some themed earrings! I personally love making earrings out of unique items, and there are some really fun ornaments out there that make for great accessories! I also chose to craft these earrings because when it comes to my wardrobe, I feel really good about the items I have, and wear them consistently. While I didn’t have any pieces that needed an update or upcycle, I did take time to go through my closet to check, and ended up donating a few pieces I don’t wear and don’t think an upcycle would help me wear more.
— That being said, if you don’t have the crafting supplies, time to upcycle an outfit, or feel good about your closet and don’t want to make changes to any particular pieces for the fall-iday season, you can also get crafty with how you decide to layer for the season! Mix and match your layers with different textures and prints for casual looks, and add some metallic accents and sleek shoe selections to dress them up for more formal get-togethers!
Our style suggestions
- Layers are key to crafting a cozy look for cold weather that can be dressed up or down easily! Start with a simple base layer, like a fitted turtleneck or a favorite t-shirt. Then layer on a bold or textured piece such as a velvet blazer, plaid vest, or colorful cardigan. To dress it up further, add details like a scarf with metallic threading, or statement accessories and shoes
- Upcycle an older piece and get creative with your wardrobe! Makeovers aren’t just for you – they can be for your clothes too! Add new details to older items such as colorful buttons on an underused cardigan, textured elbow patches on a neutral sweater, or even try your hand at embroidery or iron-on decals to add new life to a well-worn pair of jeans! Bonus tip: Keep your updates subtle to wear these pieces beyond the holiday season!
