Hello from our week of being uncomfortable!

If you listened to our April 11 episode with Dacy Gillespie (or yesterday’s Indulgence Gospel), you know that this week, we kicked off the Unflattering Burnt Toast Style Challenge — or #UnflatteringToast, as we have already rebranded it.

Here’s the Week 1 Assignment:

Over on Instagram and TikTok, Dacy, Corinne and I have been sharing our experiences all week. And as promised, today we’re going to share LINKS to everything we wore. (Make sure you’re reading unflattering to get Dacy’s links!)

To be clear: We’re not sharing links because we think you should buy our clothes, or buy any clothes to do this challenge. We’re all just shopping our closets, taking stock, and (this week especially) forcing ourselves to wear those pieces that seem great online or in the store, and then come home to sit in the closet and never get worn. But enough of you asked for sources on Insta, that this seems like a useful public service.

We also generally made our Insta content right after we got dressed in the morning — so here you’ll get to read how we REALLY felt after a full day in our rule-breaking outfits.
