Trying @rachspeed 's 333 capsule wardrobe challenge. I'm plus size 18-20 and I'm 60! The idea is to choose 3 tops, 3 bottoms and 3 pairs of shoes from your wardrobe and see how many ways you can style them to create different outfits. I managed to create 25 different looks and had so much fun doing it. This video is a collaboration with @BusyBeeMaree so remember to go over and see what pieces she chose and how many looks she got. ________________________________________________________ ** Items used that are still in stock ** --- Vivaia --- Use 'vlove' at the checkout for a 10% discount Margot 2.0: Square-Toe V-Cut Flats (Beige) https://bit.ly/3x1ypVk Audrey: Round-Toe Patterned Loafers (Pink with Cat) https://bit.ly/3KQ8bLq ________________________________________________________ Pink Tie Front top from Roman https://tidd.ly/4a99MaN (affiliate link)

Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Geordie Grandma. Welcome back to my channel. And today's video
0:07
is a challenge video. And I'm doing this video with Marie from At Busy Be Marie. So once
0:14
you've watched mine, you can go across and see what she's done. And the challenge is
0:18
the 333 challenge that is going around on TikTok. It actually went viral on TikTok
0:25
The lady who's challenge it is, is Rachel Spencer. I will link to her channel in the
0:30
description box below. And she set the challenge of picking three tops, three bottoms and three
0:39
pairs of shoes and seeing how many ways you can style those nine pieces to make different outfits
0:46
So the challenge was actually picking the outfits for me. So I'm going to show you what pieces I've
0:53
picked. And then I'll show you the different styles of the different styling that I made
1:00
with them. Now, if you've watched my channel before, you know, I'm not very good at styling
1:07
So this was a really good challenge for me to actually see how different clothes worked
1:11
together. I'm usually a jeans and a t-shirt girl, t-shirts with, you know
1:17
motifs on them. That's what I usually find me mostly in. So it was a challenge to actually
1:24
pick the pieces that I'm going to use. So what I decided to use was for the bottoms
1:30
I picked a pair of black, small black trousers. They do have a button and a zip on them
1:38
They've got pockets, see the tapered leg. So they're the more smarter style of trousers that
1:45
I picked. I picked my jeggings from yours. Those black trousers were from Next. These are from
1:53
yours. These are Jenny jeggings and they are ankle grazer jeggings. Obviously they're elasticated at
1:59
the waist to pull on, there's no fastening. They do have pockets on the back. So I thought I would
2:05
use those. And I chose my straight leg jeans, dark wash with the button in the zip and the pockets
2:14
I thought they would work well with the other three pieces that I picked. Now for reference
2:19
I'm five foot four. I'm a size 18 to 20. I do have a big stomach and I haven't seen any videos of
2:27
this challenge by plus size women. So if there is any out there and you know of them, let us know
2:34
in the comments below. But I just think it's nice to see this challenge on different size women
2:41
because I feel slimmer women can kind of get away with different styling. So I hope this gives you
2:48
some idea of what you could do if you are more my shape. The tops I chose are this Breton blue
2:57
miter striped three quarter sleeve t-shirt with the round neck. That was from Blue Vanilla
3:05
I haven't gone out and bought new items for this challenge. These were all in my wardrobe
3:10
This is a pink bridal anglaise kind of blouse top that I got a couple of weeks ago from Roman. It is
3:18
a tie front and it has short sleeves. Those buttons are just for decoration only. They don't open
3:27
And the last thing I chose was this turquoise cardigan, button up cardigan v-neck
3:33
And this was from Primark and it has long sleeves. So those were the tops and the bottoms
3:40
The shoes I chose, I chose my trusty white trainers with the brown line on the bottom
3:48
These are Clark's trainers and they're really comfortable. The next two pair of shoes I chose
3:53
are both from Vivia that I was gifted a couple of years ago and they are so comfortable and I don't
3:59
really wear them enough. So I thought I'd choose these to see what I could do with them. And the
4:04
first pair are a beige square toe flat with a little bit of a V detail here. They're like a ribbed
4:14
a ribbed shoe. Got a tiny little heel on there and they are just so comfortable to wear. And the
4:20
other pair, which are probably going to be a bit controversial, these are some pink loafers with
4:27
the cat motif on the front. So one's got the behind of the cat and one's got the front of the
4:32
cat and it's got like a little cream piping around the edge in there. Again, they're flats, tiny, tiny
4:39
heel. They do have a textured feel to them. And again, they are so comfortable. So I thought I
4:47
would try styling those up as well. I've also noticed with the 333 challenge videos, there's
4:54
not a lot of colour in them. They're all kind of neutral colours. I don't have a lot of neutral
5:00
colours in my wardrobe and I do like to wear a pop of colour because of the grey hair and I'm quite
5:06
pale. So I picked the more colourful tops to see what I could do with those. So I hope that works
5:14
for you. There was no rules in the challenge about accessories. So I've chosen three bags to work
5:21
with, a couple of belts and some few pieces of jewellery, which you will see on the video. But
5:29
I'll just show you the bags. I chose this beige kind of soft faux leather tote bag with pockets
5:37
in the side. It is quite a big bag, so you can get lots in there for going shopping. I got that from
5:43
Primark. I thought that would be useful. I also chose this crossbody bag. It is beige. It's got
5:49
a raffia detail to it with a gold hardware. Obviously the long strap because it's a crossbody
5:56
I thought that would be useful for when you're not going shopping and you don't need to take a
6:00
lot out with you. And the last bag I chose, purely because I don't really use it very often
6:05
is this lovely kind of turquoise blue handbag. Again, it's got some nice pockets in it. There's
6:15
three pockets in there and it's also got some gold hardware. So I thought that would be..
6:21
Is that gold or silver? I can't tell in this light. I'm sure it is gold. I thought that would
6:26
be useful to make yourself as well. A couple of belts that I picked out is a tan belt
6:34
again with gold hardware. And this is a champagne coloured stretchy belt that fastens like that. So
6:43
there's no buckles to fasten and there's no ends. That's quite a handy little belt. So I thought
6:48
I'd try using those as well. So those are all the pieces that I'm going to use. So essentially the
6:55
nine pieces, the three tops, three trousers and the three pairs of shoes. So let's see how I've
7:03
styled them up. So
11:50
I hope you enjoyed that challenge. I hope you liked some of the ways I styled some of the
11:56
clothes. Let me know in the comments below what you did like, what you didn't like
12:00
I'm very open to suggestions. I have realised that doing this challenge, I do need some more
12:06
basic pieces in my wardrobe that I can mix and match because I've got a lot of stuff in my
12:11
wardrobe that wouldn't mix and match. So I do need some more basic essentials. Remember to
12:18
go across and watch Marie from Add Busy Be Marie and see what she's done with her nine pieces
12:24
I'm dying to see what they are and how she's styled them up. If you did like this video
12:29
give it a thumbs up. If you haven't already subscribed to my channel and you like watching
12:34
try on hauls, bargain shopping hauls, spend the day with me videos from a 60 year old lady who
12:42
is a plus size, then subscribe to my channel. That would be fantastic. It would help me out so much
12:49
I really appreciate it. So thank you so much for watching. I'll see you again soon. Bye for now
