The Hundred Project

As those of you who follow me on Instagram will know, I've spent the past several months taking part in an Australia-wide competition run by ASOS called The Hundred Project. The project challenged University students to wear 100 different outfits over the University year and document their progress on either Twitter or Instagram using #TheHundredProject.




The incentive behind getting involved was a year-long 25% off ASOS discount code for every student who successfully shared 100 outfits, and a $250 ASOS voucher every month for a year (that's $3000!) for one lucky winner who was deemed to have demonstrated the most fashionable and creative styling throughout the project.

And guess what... I WON!!!

I'm so over the moon, it just doesn't feel real to be honest, so while I'm riding this high I'm going to shout about my success from the rooftops if you don't mind.

I've put together a little round-up of some of my favourite looks from the 100 outfits I uploaded to my Instagram for your viewing (and shopping!) pleasure, but if you want to check out all of my entries you can find them on my Instragram @outsideiscolours or search #pippa100.

BOO!

Okay so first off, let's pretend I'm not more than a month off the mark with this Halloween-esque outfit (maybe I'm just really prepared for next year?); and second, can we all just stop for a moment and reflect on how cool this mesh ghost dress is???

I've always been a sucker for mesh and transparency. I love that it allows for some fun layering, and it's ideal for summer in Brisbane when I really just want to be walking around in a bralette so that I don't suddenly burst into flames.

I've been looking for a good mesh throw-over dress for a while but nothing even came close to being as cool this spooky gem by the brilliant young London label Somewhere Nowhere.

I'm in love with how unique this piece is. The adorable little ghost appliqué is made from those kids craft beads you can melt together to make your own designs (remember them?!), and it even glows in the dark!

I loved shooting this outfit among the stunning blooming jacarandas and being the monkey I am, I just couldn't resist going for a climb. I even managed just fine in my giant Degen flatforms, which are currently on sale at Solestruck!
