SPRING STYLE ME PRETTY CHALLENGE SHOPPING LIST
Download it, print it, shop it. If you have any questions, please refer to the Helpful Tips and Info at the bottom of this page. I will update it on a regular basis with relevant information regarding the shopping list and outfits. You’ll have ten days to get all of the pieces in place before the first outfit is released. If you don’t have all of the pieces in place, don’t stress. You will have lifetime access to all of the outfits.
Before shopping, please keep in mind that my picks are recommendations only. You are welcome to shop anywhere that you’d like and buy anything that you want as long as the styles and colors are similar. Remember to shop your closet first. You’ll probably find that you already have quite a few items on the list.
Here’s your downloadable shopping list to print out and take along.

Helpful Tips and Info
*Color Coordination Note: The bright cardigan, tank top, floral scarf and button downs should coordinate with one another. They don’t have to match but if you’re substituting any of these items, just make sure the colors work together.
- As of the release date, all items on this list were well stocked however they may quickly sell out. If this happens, I will do my best to provide substitutions.
- You may swap out jeans for dressier pants (khakis or dress pants) if you’re modifying the outfits for casual business wear.
- If you’re opposed to maxi skirts because of your height, many retailers offer them in petite sizes.
- As you’ll notice, the only accessories in the challenge are a scarf and statement necklace. You are welcome to accessorize as much as you want to make the outfits your own. As a matter of fact, it’s highly encouraged!
- Yes, these pieces will be repeated multiple times throughout the three weeks. No one item will be worn more than four times though. If you aren’t comfortable with repeating an item, simply skip the outfit that day or substitute with different items from your wardrobe.
- While most of my shopping recommendations are from a handful of stores, you can find similar items at most other retailers.
