I am committed to trying this with my high summer pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me/page/2#post-2039912 Wed, 03 Jul 2019 17:37:28 +0000 Helena 2039912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, I'll have a go at this ... I could use a fun focus and tend to get really lazy in the summer months when the heat sets in. Thanks for the idea! I'll start tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me/page/2#post-2039416 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 20:24:05 +0000 Sal 2039416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! The more the merrier.</p> <p>I will probably post every ten days or so with a group of photos. Some days may have two outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039382 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 18:26:38 +0000 nemosmom 2039382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great challenge, Sal! I especially love the part about not putting things back in the closet without a plan. It is summer here; the most difficult season for me to dress for. I will document and report back along with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039353 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:52:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2039353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Lol, a challenge for me would be to find something different to wear every day for a week. I haven't put the 40 lb I lost a couple years ago back on, but I've gotten "fluffier". Seeing as I jettisoned most clothes this size for the move, I'm down to very few items, and some of them are shorter shorts than we generally see here. I have a couple set outfits, and am more interested in firming up than on expanding my wardrobe to match the expanding figure. (I'm down 1", have 3 to 5 more to go).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It will be fun to follow pix and posts of your progress!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039341 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:25:57 +0000 anchie 2039341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very helpful challenge and I am already doing something similar with my summer clothing and footwear. I also like your idea to put effort with accessories- I have been neglecting mine, maybe I should do something like that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039330 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 15:23:30 +0000 Liesbeth 2039330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to join you with my summer clothes and actually think I've been doing a good job already over the past month or so, switching up new acquisitions and trying to restyle old favorites and.not-so-favorites. Later this month I'm on vacation so will try to tweak: check out which season-appropriate items have so far remained shelved and try to wear them. No promises though: I've started a new job last month and am obviously still trying to monitor and maintain an image of understated stylish professionalism ;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039229 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 01:55:16 +0000 Sal 2039229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect Joy!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Look forward to seeing what you come up with:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039224 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 01:24:08 +0000 Anonymous 2039224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try to join you wearing summer casual clothes in July and may need to continue into August. It is still not warm enough to be what I think of as summer but is getting into the 80’sF part of most days. Because mornings and evenings are cool, each outfit must have a topper of some sort. I plan to concentrate on summer bottoms and will include an accessory but not take a July shopping break because all the best seasonal sales are in July plus NAS, but the challenge will help me figure out what, if anything, I need for summer. I am trying to resist any new refreshers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039219 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 01:08:19 +0000 Sal 2039219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Join in on your terms Carla!!&nbsp; I agree that a focus does help.&nbsp; Towards the end of the season I usually look at my unworn pieces and try and wear them or work out why...... which is my goal here.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039134 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 13:06:45 +0000 Carla 2039134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tackling a clothing category works! I just finished a personal challenge in June of going through my (unworn) button downs. Time to look at the rest of my closet. I'm down for a shopping break in July, and possibly August, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039125 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 10:56:35 +0000 Anonymous 2039125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THANK YOU <b>SAL</b>. &nbsp;I think this is going to be a fascinating exercise!!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039120 Sun, 30 Jun 2019 05:25:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2039120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea Sally. I don't think I could wear all my winter clothes in a month. As I am working from home now I have way more dressy/workwear clothes than I need and now have limited opportunities to "dress up" and wear them. I have edited some out but I don't want to go too far as yet. I still like what I have and may end up working in an office again. But I will try to find opportunities to wear my good winter stuff and take photos. You know it's my favourite style season </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039066 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 21:47:22 +0000 Sal 2039066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tweak as you like!!&nbsp; I think starting with the category that overwhelms or annoys you or that you feel there are some problems is a good idea.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I will probably check in half way through with the first lot of pics and an update, and then again at the end of July.</p> <p>I would like to improve my bag game too Sterling so will do what I can here.....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039056 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 21:04:30 +0000 kkards 2039056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm...I feel like I should join bj on the summer Footwear challenge. I own a lot...and it’s time to get them in rotation or rotated out. Grr...but I’m going to play this out thru Labor Day (officially the end of summer here in the US, actually just the 1st Monday in September). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2039012 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 15:34:17 +0000 bj1111 2039012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal</p> <p>I’m joining you in trying to wear all my summer and summer-adjacent shoes in July. Extra complicated as I’m traveling for 10 days. But what’s a challenge without the “challenge”?</p> <p>Hmmm...I might need August as I have a LOT of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038973 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 05:40:46 +0000 rachylou 2038973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a bold goal! I'm pretty sure I could not wear all my winter clothes in the span of a month... nor my summer clothes either. Well, I have a lot of mini-capsules that represent month-by-month gradations of the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038952 Sat, 29 Jun 2019 01:45:06 +0000 Jenn 2038952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a good challenge! I would join you in trying to wear all my summer clothes, but if things go according to plan, much of my wardrobe will be spending part of the month on a truck. My challenge, instead, will be putting together a suitcase-sized capsule that can keep me happy for a couple of transition weeks.</p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing your photos, though, and will be cheering you along with Angie on the sidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038911 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 22:56:45 +0000 SarahD8 2038911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this challenge a lot, Sal. The idea of not putting things back in the closet without a plan is a great one.</p> <p>I wonder how long it would take me to wear all of my summer clothes? Maybe my challenge will be to find out.</p> <p>Oh, and including at least one accessory is definitely a push I need too.</p> <p>I am not sure how well I can keep up with documenting but I will join you in the wearing part of the challenge, at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038910 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 22:48:11 +0000 JAileen 2038910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, this sounds like a fun and illuminating challenge.</p> <p>Sterling, I use a little pouch to contain my small miscellaneous things. It really helps when switching bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038904 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 22:30:35 +0000 Anonymous 2038904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a purse liner, <b>Fashintern</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038888 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 21:13:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2038888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Sal and Sterling, I hope you both post your pix! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sterling, do you have a mesh bag to keep your odds &amp; ends in, or a purse liner?

There won’t be many because my winter closet is small. But there are a few things that I could wear differently. And I want to be more thoughtful in my use of accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038649 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 20:46:43 +0000 Anonymous 2038649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous challenge! &nbsp; I love the idea of having to add one accessory to every ensemble.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am looking to hearing your results at the end of July! &nbsp;I am especially interested in hearing how many pieces did not make it back into the closet and why. &nbsp;The why will be especially important. &nbsp;YAY to plans!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-july-challenge-for-me#post-2038644 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 20:30:23 +0000 Sal 2038644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie!</p> <p>Jenni - tweak and join in! Leave out the shoes if that makes it too hard.

I might make mine wearing them all over the whole winter, not just in July. I’ve worn large numbers of mine in June already so there are a smaller number left unworn. I could try to wear as many of those as possible. What’s unworn so far is: 6 tops, 6 jumpers, 2 waistcoats, 3 jackets/coats, all 4 skirts, 1 tunic and 4 dresses. Plus 7 pairs higher heeled shoes or boots! O-oh! Maybe not do-able. </p>
