Take10 style challenge 1: lace waistcoat
Hopefully you’ll remember the intro to Project Take10 from a few weeks back – well, today sees the launch of our first ever style challenge!
Dorothy Perkins kindly offered to sponsor challenge 1, to see how we’d put together an outfit around their black lace waistcoat, and here we all are:
It was a bit tricky to find the right thing to wear with it because lots of my clothes are black (which means the waistcoat isn’t really seen) or have lace/frills on them (too OTT when teamed with more lace).
In the end I decided on the mustard ‘Star Trek’ dress because it’s a very simple shape and gives a strong colour contrast that allows the lace detail to be seen (just hope you don’t think I look like a giant bumble bee!).
I really love Shini’s outfit. I’d never have thought of belting the waistcoat, which is the great thing about these style challenges – getting new ideas on how to wear the same thing.
What would you wear the waistcoat with?

I love how everyone looks completely different! :)
love it x
You’ve done a great job styling it, Sarah! One of the best I reckon. Black lace is so tricky, bordering in the goth! xxx
Great outfits.:)SarahD
that’s SO cute! you wore it well my dear!
Great post! I love the contrast of your outfit Sarah! Just want to thank you for all the hard work you have done for this project because I am thoroughly enjoying especially now first challenge is up!

You’re so right about seeing the detailing with the mustard top, looks fab x
Gee, quite a challenge, wasn’t it? Love how you styled it. Bring on the next! xo
Like how you’ve added a pop of colour to the waistcoat, it’s a nice contrast. Also like how Vicki’s style it with florals x
Lovely look, darling!

Love the contrast of the yellow – it really highlights the detail on the vest! :) x
haha, you do not look at all like a bumble bee! i like the yellow dress with black lace. it would be cute styled over a simple baggy tee too- maybe in grey.
I saw this on Sabine’s site and I was like, you go We Shop! I loved the yellow, you really stood out among the crowd.
Hahahaha! you are one funny girl, Sarah! :) Naaah….not a bumble bee at all. I love the contrast! Well done..looking forward to more of your challenges. x
You look AWESOME and totally un-bee-like! Take10 is so much fun! :)
I don’t think you look like a bumblebee! The dress shows off the waistcoat fabulously.
And wanted to say thank you and well done for organising everything!!

Gorgeous, love the mustard dress on you!!
You look lovely Sarah. I’m really impressed with how some of the girls have styled it with other dark pieces because it must be tricky not to make it look super Goth, but I think I rather love it as you’ve done it – simple, over something bold.
Love your look sarah!! think it looks great with a block bright colour underneath :) x
Love them all. It’s great seeing everyone’s interpretations!
Such a cute way of styling it!
i really like that you wore it with a bright colored dress to make the waistcoat POP! but my fave would be shini´s take too!
white and black lace = match made in heaven!
