I can't wait to see the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-85340 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:57:03 +0000 mummy2thea 85340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea I am looking forward to seeing some pictures! I might even give it a try myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84673 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 08:28:22 +0000 Ele 84673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this, Hanna- I can't wait to see your outfits! </p> <p>Like Maya, I tend not to own too many things that scare me. I suppose I do fall into the trap of not wearing my "fancy" things enough, though. I have a few dresses in my closet that I love but hardly wear because I'm "saving" them. I guess I could bring those out to play... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84660 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 04:44:02 +0000 Maya 84660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not that I have restraint, it's more like I'm just too cheap/poor to spend money on things that may potentially never see the light of day :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84605 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:46:49 +0000 Ana 84605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great challenge Hanna, and I'm excited to see what you ladies come up with!</p> <p>I would take part, but I can't think of anything in my closet that I'm afraid of wearing. Hmm..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84529 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:03:55 +0000 hanna 84529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>glad there will be some takers! can't wait to see what you guys come with -- i'm sure you'll rock that skirt, cathy, and mac, leggings! yes! you can do it! LOL.</p> <p>maya, you are one of the lucky ones! i adore some trends on others, get a cheapie version to try it out for myself, then get all chicken :\. good for you for not having any fears lurking in your closet.</p> <p>tam, red pants! oh my, you have no idea how much i envy you! i love the look of colored pants on others but i know they don't suit my style, so i never buy a pair. mark my words, the next time i go thrifting, these will be on my list to look out for. i say you rock the docs next week! let's beat those anxieties into the ground! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84491 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:46:12 +0000 yublocka 84491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this challenge hanna!! </p> <p>Yesterday I finally wore my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3449241442/in/set-72157614888607608/">red skinny pants</a> to work. I don't know why I hadn't worn them before, since I wear a red skirt and dress all the time. Red pants were definitely a first for me. And you know what? I had at least 2 people ask me where I got them! They were a hit so that was a fear well conquered!!</p> <p>A fear I have yet to conquer: wearing my silver docs to work. I wore my 8 hold maroon docs last week, and no one blinked an eye (that I could see). The silver ones, hmm I don't know. I was down in Emergency last week and saw another Dr there wearing a tall pair of black docs paired with a skirt and she looked fine! However Emergency dress code is def. more casual than up on the wards. Maybe I will try to conquer that fear next week!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84481 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 07:08:52 +0000 Mac 84481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant. Next week might have to be The Week when Mac Tries Leggings for the First Time. Eeeeek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84477 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:42:14 +0000 cciele 84477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea, Hanna! You always come up with the best challenges I also need to think on this one. Hm, fears. I do have a skirt I adore but am afraid of because I dunno how to wear it (plus, I really don't do skirts). That sounds like a good starting point ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84436 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 17:55:41 +0000 Maya 84436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, if I fear something that much it usually doesn't end up being in my closet :p If I find anything I'll join in, but I'm not sure if I will... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84419 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:31:46 +0000 Inge 84419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great plan Hanna! I'll be watching this thread like a hawk. I'm going to have a think and see if I can come up with something. Not promising anything though, I'm taking a few days off next week and won't be around so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84385 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:06:43 +0000 Anonymous 84385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! I was just looking at the summer things in the closet that haven't been worn and wondering why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84381 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:48:50 +0000 Laura 84381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!! I will be thinking about this one and watching you this week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84377 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:24:55 +0000 April 84377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna - another genius challenge! You are definitely the mistress of the excellent challenge. :)</p> <p>I love this one because I suspect there are many YLF members struggling with the same issue: "Now that I know what to do, actually DOING it is very daunting." </p> <p>I will have to think about what fears are still restricting me. Maybe a trip to my closet will make it more apparent... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84374 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:12:15 +0000 anne 84374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent idea Hanna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-without-fear#post-84372 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:47:48 +0000 hanna 84372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi guys! i am sorry to be away from the forum for so long -- generally i get terribly busy, then reserve one morning to just reply to as many posts as possible. i hope i didn't miss anything good! </p> <p>if anybody is looking for a challenge (ha, did you think i had none left up my sleeve?), i'm setting one for myself in particular next week that i thought you might like to play along with! the other day while getting dressed, i passed over this dress in my closet that i absolutely love, but that for some reason i never wear because it is "too fancy." that got me to thinking about all the things or trends that i am attracted to, but that stay in my closet because i'm too afraid of how i will look or how people will react.</p> <p>so my challenge for next week is to wear one outfit a day to help me conquer those fears. they can either be a trend i've been too afraid to try or put into rotation regularly (like white pants or mixing patterns or leggings or waistcoats), or an item that i love but never wear (like that dress...or waistcoats :P), or a louder color combination than i'm used to, or... you get the idea. the point is to get over being fearful, but also to get creative and make these items and trends more you.</p> <p>i will be posting my outfits daily. if you'd like to play along, you don't have to go an entire week - just one outfit without fear is enough! what is your fashion fear? let's see if we can overcome them together next week :). </p>
