Challenge: MOTG formulas

People have already started doing this-- it's a no brainer-- but I wanted to challenge everyone to try to make as many of Angie's fall 2009 MOTG 10 formulas from your own closet. This is kind of a long term challenge (I plan to do it over the next few months.) You can buy new stuff, of course, but the idea is to not buy stuff just to complete the challenge, only items that are part of your normal fall purchases. For example, I don't plan on going out to buy maternity micro checks or pont knit pants so I'm just going to have to skip those (although I might substitute black denim for the pont knit pants).

What a fun idea Patience! I was thinking about doing something like this already.

I really need a BF blazer, I wanted it before anyway, but now I have extra reasons :)

Count me in!

I'm going to start putting outfits together and photographing tonight!

Like Tanya, I am really tempted to buy a boyfriend blazer now, especially after seeing Shiny's thread.

Yes! I had the exact same thought after seeing the post yesterday. It will be fun.

This will be my first challenge - I always get scared because they seem so hard. This one is just my speed, I just have to follow the formula. :-)

Great idea Patience! What I love about Angie's MOTG outfits is that they can be easily transferred over to a student's wardrobe and lifestyle.

I'll put them into practice over the next few weeks.

I am going to explore the formulas as well. I would have to make modifications, since I don't own a leather jacket or a bf blazer. I probably won't be buying ponte knits pants, although you never know :)

I am definitely going to be doing this! I'm already working in some of the combos now and they are no end of helpful for dealing with maternity dressing.

The remainder of the formulas I fully intend to tackle after baby (so December).

Those combos would involve buying: a BF blazer, a moto jacket, a fresh pair of dark wash straight-leg jeans, and a couple of additional long cardis. All of these are already on my post-Christmas shopping list!

I'll give this a try too! I've never participated in a challenge but I think I can manage this one!
