It’s been a fabulous month of January so far (well not in curfews and lockdowns) but certainly in styling challenges! My #Fauxshow Challenge ends this weekend and I hope you’ll be joining me in styling anything in faux-fur, or vintage- thrifted-hand-me-down fur- I mean it- anything at all! Just post a pic on Insta and tag me @lucybertoldi and I’ll be sure to add you to my stories.
Plus as of Monday, I’ve also joined #TrendsInYourCloset – which I love- because all it requires is for me to dive into my closet!! This challenge comes up every season and is hosted by @annazzon (who’s also my cohost in my faux fur challenge) and @imanorbyah. As well, I joined another that comes up quite regularly is #thriftedchicstylechallenge. It’s been a busy styling week lol!
So let me show you what I’ve styled up for all these challenges:







Stay tuned next week for the final pics of these fun challenges…as well look out for my post on Dopamine Styling- wrote about this before- but now …I’m gonna make it a thing!!

Ha ha: I do like your smiling pictures better! It is hard to look natural and not smile I find: I sprinkle in a few serious looks here and there but I always feel like I look sad and moody when I do! Such fun challenges and such a wealth of clothes in your closet!

I agree Mireille! I find that those sultry ‘trying to be something I’m not’ kind of pics don’t work for me lol!! And imagine that I was asked: Why do you always try to look so happy? I was like…what? I blog and style coz I enjoy it- if i have to look miserable…how can I possibly inspire? Plus, I’m hardly ever alone when I take pics in this house (even in m y closet)- someone is always in the background saying something or making faces lol!! Thanks so much MIreille- have a great weekend xx
Thanks for featuring my post! I feel so honored. I love the outfits that you discussed in this post. They are all so unique. You have great personal style. It really encourages women to search for theirs.
Thanks for all you said Nicole!! That means so much to me and I really appreciate your support. On a different note- I always want to leave a comment on your posts (as I’m regular reader) but can never find where to do so?
Love your style and the outfits you have shared with us on this post. There are lots of ideas to steal. Thank you so much for the feature and have a great weekend!

Gerben always tells me too smile on photos, otherwise I look awful. But it’s hard to find a nice pose. Thats why I have a lot of bloopers. Have s great weekend Lucy!
