It’s dress down Friday! Jackie is wearing Converse and a long sleeved top under the shirt. Leaving the shirt undone looks more relaxed. 

At the end of her first week Jackie said:
‘It has saved me a lot of time in the morning – there’s something very liberating about knowing what your basic outfit is going to be. My week has taken me to a posh dinner after work and an important work meeting, and I adapted the outfit for both.

‘The most interesting part is that I have noticed how dull my hair and make-up is, so I have finallly used a red lipstick I was given as a present months ago! The biggest challenge has been keeping on top of washing the three tops so I have a clean shirt every day.’

Today, Jackie is wearing a silk scarf and tan leather, heeled sandals and has accessorised the outfit with a matching orange handbag.

Jackie feels that wearing the same outfit every day has highlighted how little she experiments with her hair and make-up. So, feeling more style-confident throughout the challenge, Jackie has booked a hair appointment for later in the week and is going to try a whole new look!

Day 22: The last day!!

Finger, Sleeve, Human body, Shoulder, Joint, Standing, Collar, Elbow, Gesture, Blond,
The challenge is complete! Jackie says, ‘I have mixed feelings – I am looking forward to not being restricted but it’s been so great having an outfit at my fingertips. I think this outfit will become my default for when nothing else feel quite right and I suspect I’ll fall back on my default more often than I plan to!'
 
3 lessons learnt:
1. Be brave enough to experiment more with hair and make-up.
2. No-one really notices what you’re wearing so wear what makes you feel good.
3. White shirts aren't so bad after all!

Look out for Jackie's full feature on the #OneMonthOneOutfit challenge in the September issue of GH, on shelves at the beginning of August.
