Not many women would trust their significant others to pick out their outfit with things already in their own closet…let alone from Goodwill. Now I trust my hubby, but do I trust his fashion sense? 😉
I thought it would be a fun little experiment to have my husband pick out an outfit for me at Goodwill! I gave no commentary about what he picked out and I didn’t even see it until after he bought it because I wanted it to be all completely him!

This is what he picked out:
leopard tank top
Why he chose it: “She likes leopard print and it was shiny.”
black “cardigan”
Why he chose it: “It looked like it would go over the top. Not much thought behind that one.”
denim shorts
Why he chose it: “I thought it would be a good casual bottom for the outfit.”
cork wedges
Why he chose it: “I wanted to try and find something that was sort of trendy to impress her and it was the closest thing I found to the espadrille type of shoes that she likes.”
Here it is on me!
I love leopard print but wasn’t a huge fan of this particular top with the sequins at it. It felt like something you would get at Justice. The style of cardigan also seemed a little outdated to me. I didn’t hate the denim shorts, but I found the length to be a little awkward on me.

I love espadrilles and that small detail on the shoes, but I’m not a huge fan of cork.

Overall, I felt the look was very “normal”. He had free reign and could have gone super out there but he didn’t, which I appreciated haha. I’m also pretty impressed with what he did pick out. This wasn’t a test to see how well he knew me or anything, but it was interesting to see how he got my style. Even though I didn’t like the specific pieces he chose, he knew I liked leopard print, denim shorts, espadrilles, etc.
He says he should become a fashion stylist now after this challenge 😉
I think if I happened to be under some extreme circumstance I would probably allow him to dress me 😉
Wow that’s so impressive what he did! I must say he did an amazing job with putting an outfit together and how everything flows so well!
He’s been great listening to me blab about clothes for so long haha!
OH my gosh. I love this! I am going to have to try this with my husband.
That would be so fun to see what he chose!
Aw I love this!! Such a fun idea. I think your hubby did a great job at picking it out!!!

cute & little
Definitely could have been worse! 😉
LOVE this idea for a post! So fun! -Tonya Tardiff
It’s fun to collaborate on something new!
he did a good job! looks fun and spunky!
He surprised me!
It looks like your husband has good taste! I actually like most of the pieces individually (especially the shorts and the shoes) but together it’s a bit normal, like you said. Nothing wrong with that at all though! I can’t wait to see how you style these pieces in different ways!
Yeah, I agree, normal isn’t bad. Could have been worse! 🙂
Hubby did a really great job!! I love that leopard tank!
I’m surprised that his fashion eye isn’t too bad! 😉
I’ve been wanting to do this kind of challenge with my fiancé for ages! You’ve just given me the push I needed to mention it to him again! I love what your hubby picked out – even if the pieces weren’t *exactly* what you love, he still knew your general fashion likes! So cute!
Oo fun! I want to see you and your fiance do it! 🙂
This is amazing!!! What a great post idea and you are sooooo brave haha! I am cringing thinking about what my hubby would pick but I kinda want to do it lol! You are the cutest thing ever, so you could wear a paper bag and be chic!
