The more the merrier, and thanks for the support by joining, or watching and waving! I'll be putting my posts in the WIW department. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-717323 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:27:32 +0000 Anonymous 717323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's still hot here. I'll join you for the sleeveless challenge although we are traveling and I may be late posting.

Good idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-717034 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 13:59:55 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 717034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already chose my weekly outfits before reading this post, but 4 out of 5 of my outfits have sleeveless tops. So I guess I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716969 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:30:31 +0000 anne 716969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am doing a bit of a reverse challenge, since I am in the southern hemisphere. The temp is warming up a bit, I am going to wear the "winter" clothes I ordered months agok and haven't worn enough because they weren't warm (or compatible with a warm outfit.)<br /> Eg a cotton twill jacket, a blouse, my zippy vest.</p> <p>I am also challenging myself to wear 2 dresses that haven't been worn this winter at all. I ironed one last night so it is ready to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716884 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:02:03 +0000 MsMary 716884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, CJ! I've got a whole week of outfits with sleeveless tops planned!! (With jackets for the frigid a/c in the office!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716549 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:39:32 +0000 Jjsloane 716549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea CJ! Challenges are a great way to increase your awareness of what you have, what you don't have and what you like/don't like. They are a great distractor from buying as well if you restrict to items you have. Planning out the week ahead works best for me (at least if I know I have 5 work outfits ready to go I'm less tempted to buy something because I "need" it to complete an outfit) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716543 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:33:47 +0000 JulieJohn 716543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! It makes it seem possible that Fall is really coming, which is hard to imagine in the scorching heat. Repeat after me: in seven weeks I will be wearing scarves and jackets... I believe ... I believe ...</p> <p>I'll take the sleeveless challenge, although in the interest of full disclosure I plan to cheat one day to wear a new t-shirt.</p> <p>Down under ladies - how bout a similar transition to warmer weather challenge? Maybe sleeveless tops are your Week 7 goal. Week 1 could be a brightly colored item - scarf, bangle, purse ... ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716519 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:52:52 +0000 Krista 716519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea to get those last few outfits in! Last week I did a dress challenge and it made dressing in the morning infinitely easier. My challenge this week is similar -try to get those summer items in before they get packed away.<br /> I look forward to seeing how your week went! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716498 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:38:09 +0000 Mo 716498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun! I've been doing little closet challenges, myself. I do find that going monthly (rather than weekly) better allows for weather changes, or whatever else might get in the way in life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716497 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:37:42 +0000 cjh 716497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I expect it will be chilly here by then, too. But figure I will add tights, layers, scarves, etc. Or I may change my mind altogether! :-)</p> <p>MaryK and anyone else who wants to join, I'm going upstairs now to pull out my 5 sleeveless tops (many of them will match with a jacket or cardigan so it I get cold this week, that's what I'll add.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716485 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:30:11 +0000 Ingunn 716485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very good idea! I can't do exactly the same, because in six weeks it will be far too cold for summery attire here. The idea is still good, and I'll think about how I can tweak it to suit my climate. Good luck to you both on the sleeveless week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716483 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:27:44 +0000 MsMary 716483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great idea! I will join you in a Sleeveless Tops Challenge for the coming week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-weeks-ahead#post-716481 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 21:26:17 +0000 cjh 716481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking while working in my closets. I feel kind of bad about putting away my summer work clothes, though I am getting a bit weary of them. But to extend the season and wear of these nice and favorite items I thought I might challenge myself the next few weeks.</p> <p>Perhaps I will set up a schedule like this:<br /> Week 1 - sleeveless tops (even though already moved to storage closet)<br /> Week 2 - print skirts<br /> Week 3 - dresses<br /> Week 4 - transitional cardigans (not wintery)<br /> Week 5 - lightweight jackets<br /> Week 6 - dark/warm skirts (not summery)<br /> Week 7 - long sleeve blouses</p> <p>Of course I could combine some of these items, for instance wear a sleeveless top with a cardigan, or long sleeve blouse with dark skirt, etc. OR I could use these categories for one day each week. ?? Maybe it will just help me pick my favorites and relegate the leftovers to reconsider purging or deciding on first next season.</p> <p>Thanks for reading my loosey-goosey dressing ramble! </p>
