Okay, so I think my closet is reaching its limit. My drawers are barely closing and I still have one last item to get for the Basics Challenge - the jewel toned blouse. Yesterday, I went to Old Navy looking for a chambray button-down shirt and ended up with this light taupe brown boyfriend cardigan. On the other hand, I managed to score this denim shirt at JCPenney for only $10! I wasn't sure if the chambray shirt should be light or dark, but I think darker denim has always looked better on me. I'm starting to really love this St. John's Bay brand that JCP carries - all of their button-down shirts fit perfectly on me without any gaping at the bust. I already have two of their plaid shirts.
A couple of the challengers posted some really informative resources on the challenge Facebook group that I want to share with you:
Mary Munkelwitz posted a great link for determining which colors look best on you:

Apparently, I'm a deep winter. Yay for jewel tone colors!
Becky Ratliff Podhajsky posted this awesome link about one of my favorite stores of all time:

I love the discount scheduling info! Since today was Tuesday, I had to check out the Target clearance section and found a great sweatshirt for only $9!
I learn so much from these challenges - which is why you should sign up for the Build Your Basics Wardrobe Challenge if you haven't already!
