Maybe it's time to use them again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2071215 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 11:08:51 +0000 Adriana 2071215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe. I feel I cannot wear scarves. I have 2 new coats. Tried all my scarves. Nothing looked good. Decided the color contrast was too big for me.<br /> Need to look at your outfits.<br /> Normally the only assessories are my glasses and a bangle. If I go out I make an effort. I find it hard to choose what goes with what. So this can be a lesson. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2071153 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 04:03:21 +0000 Debbie 2071153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to participate.

I have never seen that version of double belting an outfit, very creative.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2071017 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 16:44:10 +0000 Anonymous 2071017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina, if you rarely belt pants and tuck tops that should be the challenge you try for this You’ve got nothing to lose trying and I’d like to see what you choose, those poor belts in the closet never getting used need attention :D</p> <p> For me I have been wanting to try double-belting an outfit, as in belting my top on the actual waist and another belt lower in my pants/jeans loops.<br /> I’ve seen it once or twice and thought it was really unique, but I’m in need of more advice to figure it out to make it look good and try on more belts in store to find what works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070999 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 15:49:16 +0000 Katerina 2070999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bijou</b>, how fun you will join!

I don´t wear belts myself - only as necklaces occasionally, so I kind of forgot about them. I have a few belts I kept from the time I wore them, just in case. But I seldom tuck my tops, so they don´t get worn.<br />How about yourself? I would love to see your belts in action. Any idea for a challenge theme that would suit you?&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070898 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 09:21:17 +0000 Katerina 2070898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy</b>, I understand. I didn´t know bakers were not allowed to wear make up either. Yes to Marry Poppins hat! How fun!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenni</b>, what a beautiful brooch and what a clever way to add a "feminine" element to the outfit. It is perfect with colours of the shirt and the vest indeed. LOVE it. Thank you for sharing the photo and I hope you had a lovely dinner.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070895 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 09:12:28 +0000 Katerina 2070895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger</b>, fun you are in!&nbsp;<br />I agree - it is not easy to layer jewelry under coats or wear long e<b></b>arrings with outerwear scarves.

They are my favorite accessory </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070882 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 06:48:14 +0000 Jenni NZ 2070882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I won’t join re accessories because I really only like my earrings most of the time. But funnily enough today’s outfit of tartan shirt with one of my Dad’s sleeveless vests that I kept felt a bit too masculine so I had added Mum’s old brooch to tie in the colours. Here is a selfie. Please ignore my horrible wrinkly neck which I hope was worse because of a contortion to show the brooch! I am not long home from a long work day and checking the forum to relax before dinner- which DS cooks on Tuesdays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070875 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 02:50:35 +0000 rachylou 2070875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Sigh* No accessories for bakers. I can’t even on office day because people already try to slide by too often with jewelry and makeup, can’t encourage any at all... but in honor of the spirit, I just wore my Mary Poppins hat to the grocery... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070864 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 01:57:30 +0000 Jaime 2070864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good. I will think about what I can do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070845 Tue, 22 Oct 2019 00:34:49 +0000 Nix 2070845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina, thank you for this challenge. I am a new participant to the blog/ forum, but this is a timely for me and I thought I'd just jump right in. This really speaks to me:&nbsp;</p> <p><i>To wear the items I normally do not reach for and to give the workhorses a break for a while.</i></p> <p>My topics are:<br />1. Wear more of my scarves. I have 7, but grab my favorite blanket scarf almost everyday. This really is the perfect weather to showcase them.<br />1a. Experiment with different ways of tying and wrapping my scarves</p> <p>2. Wear/ experiment with socks.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Coordinate my shoes and purse/ handbag with my clothing during the outfit creation stage, and have the necessary items in place once I have decided my outfit for the day, not two minutes before I'm trying to leave out the door. In the spirit of today's post about outfit creation/ planning, I am pretty good at putting together a few outfits in advance, but always wait until the last minute to figure out which bag I want to use&nbsp; and often which shoe I need. So this is more of a time management challenge for myself, but it relates because there have been a few times lately where I "made do" because I didn't have the time to make the purse swap and I was less pleased with the overall effect of the ensemble. And, on one recent occasion I had to completely change my outfit because there was only one potential shoe that could've worked, and I was entirely dressed and putting on the shoes when I realized they didn't go at all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070834 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 23:51:56 +0000 Mainelady 2070834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will enjoy joining you. I have an accessory goal: to wear my really beautiful pieces more often. I want to dress them down with my my casual outfits and enjoy wearing the pieces. &nbsp;They should not only come out for specials occasions.&nbsp;<div>&nbsp; Another goal is to get back in the habit taking photos to help self assess and to post on the forum from time to time. &nbsp;I have found the photos and support from forum members to be very helpful.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070827 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 23:34:39 +0000 Anonymous 2070827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good! I've been thinking about my jewelry as it relates to different seasons-lighter openwork gold/rose gold for spring vs copper/bronze or tortoiseshell for fall/winter. Truthfully though, I end up wearing studs in cold weather because of all the cluttery layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-challenge-anyone-how-about-accessories#post-2070823 Mon, 21 Oct 2019 23:25:06 +0000 Katerina 2070823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, how fun you are in!

Ok, you might think that this is no challenge, because I use scarves and brooches all the time. But my challenge will be to try to switch up my accessory game. <br />I have a lot of different costume jewelry - second hand, antique or new. I also, as you know, have a lot of different kinds of scarves. What I want to do here is to use the accessories in - for me - a different way. To wear the items I normally do not reach for and to give the workhorses a break for a while.</p> <p>These are the "topics" I want to concentrate on:<br />1. Large statement earrings&nbsp;<br />2. Statement necklaces instead of scarves or with scarves<br />3. Layered necklaces&nbsp;<br />4. All about the bracelets&nbsp;<br />5. Interesting outfit without jewelry and without a scarf</p> <p>The above are areas I am not good at, although I actually already have the components in my wardrobe.</p> <p>Would anybody like to join me? You could, of course, adjust the "topics" to your own needs and preferences, such as for example:<br />* Wear an old item, kept for sentimental reasons in your wardrobe, in an edgy outfit.&nbsp;<br />* Wear a brooch or a few.<br />* All about the pearls.<br />* A scarf in a new way - re-purposed.<br />* Hair accessories.<br />* My thrifted treasure.<br />* My DIY accessory.&nbsp;<br />* Belts as necklaces.<br />* Statement gloves.</p> <p>or any other topic you find interesting.</p> <p>What do you guys think? Will anybody join me?</p> </p>
