[Aaaahh, Ummlila! That dress is gorgeous! I bet it is amazing paired with the fur vest.]&nbsp;Almost all my outfits (outside of my PJ's) are on the maximal side... so a real challenge for me would be to go minimalist or at least tone it down a bit. I have always had trouble with Coco Chanel's advice: "Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off." I always want to add something. Perhaps this is my year?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741755 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 16:54:29 +0000 Angie 1741755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohooo, UmmLila - I LOVE all the pink. By all means wear the pink print shoes if you think they will work with the tights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741680 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 14:23:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1741680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing today, sorry no photo.

This thread exploded in my absence. WOOOHOOO.</p> <p>Tanya, I commented on your separate thread. Another K-worthy look. Love the pattern mixing. </p> <p>Colette, how lovely to see you post. You look gorgeously tailored and polished. A fur baby on each side, and you are good to go. </p> <p>Natalie, you nailed it. Maximalism is easy for you. Rock on. </p> <p>Jaime, Killer Fab. The ‘80s hoops are my best. Digging those buff yoga arms. </p> <p>Ginger, you win the 1950's award. Very fun. </p> <p>AviahMaria, great pattern mixing. Leopard and stripes never let us down.&nbsp;</p> <p>Traci, you tried and succeeded YOUR way. I like all the plaid shirt renditions. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nice, Aida. Maximally Minimal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741465 Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:06:15 +0000 Aida 1741465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo!

I added the blingy necklace and culottes to sparkle and trendy it up. Dd looked at my sideways. I said I needed a belt and she agreed. I only found the brown belt at first. Crud, now the shoes don't match. Ah ha! Maximalise with the leopard shoes. At that point dd told me I had crossed the line a while back. I took off the belt and necklace and brought out the Freebirds. Dd approved. Then my feet reminded me I have a busy day and This is not the day to break in the Freebirds although the weather allows it, so I ended up in possibly the most minimal outfit I own.</p> <p>I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry, Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741179 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 15:08:09 +0000 AviaMariah 1741179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maximal my way this morning mixing stripes and leopard. Totally in my comfort zone. Now I wish I had thought to add some bling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741112 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 13:21:43 +0000 Ginger 1741112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's today's attempt, Angie, and just for you! It's going to be over 90 again and I just can't bear to layer. So I went for as much pattern and detail as possible! Plaid skirt, blouse with ruffle sleeves and bow, striped shoes, and chunky three-strand vintage pearl necklace. Plus gray lace-knit cardigan for A/C protection and yet more pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741072 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:14:18 +0000 Mirjana 1741072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will try but it will be probably a little harder for me,&nbsp; maybe minimal maximal .</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741066 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:07:35 +0000 Chris987 1741066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen you are a girl after my own heart! Maximal gardening fabness! I planted tulips yesterday but in an outfit much less fab than yours. I did wear a maximal outfit later that I will post about later today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1741060 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:01:48 +0000 Jaime 1741060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A request not to be refused. I did a quick re-enactment of my holiday dinner outfit. Not sure if the texture of the spanx leggings shows up, or the dress colors, or the big floppy black bow, but I hope you get the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740992 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 08:53:54 +0000 Cococat 1740992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure!<br /> Here I am in my office today wearing a Zara top with jeans and sparkly loafers. </p> <p>No encouragement needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740922 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:43:05 +0000 Colette 1740922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On your blog I just commented that maximal isn't really my thing. But I may have accidentally put together an outfit that is a little maximal for an appointment. I mixed last year's animal print blouse, tucked, with a super old and orphaned, herringbone blazer. Then I threw in my spider brooch for fun. I was going to wear my crystal studded clutch but thought it was too much for daytime, plus I needed to carry more, so I switched to my black satchel. I think this may be my maximum maximal, there is a lot more going on here than I usually wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740908 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:32:26 +0000 Tanya 1740908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun thread!&nbsp; Challenge fully accepted.&nbsp; I have just posted my maximal outfit of the day separately, but adding it here, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740905 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:28:28 +0000 Angie 1740905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT, L'Abeille. Folksy Fabness.&nbsp;</p> <p>THAT'S what I'm talking about, Anna. Killer. I can see the pearls. MY BEST.&nbsp;</p> <p>Crazyone, Minimally Maximal. NICE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740895 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:16:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1740895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Abeille, that outfit is so fun and pretty on you! Love! Your other one sounds like a big win, too. </p> <p>Crazyone, I like that dress outfit, and the print tunic with the studded flats is another gorgeous one! I love the way the flats look with the pattern in the tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740892 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 02:15:40 +0000 annagybe 1740892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pulled a bunch of old stuff out of my closet. <br />Newest is the Madonna concert t-shirt I saw last year today.<br />The striped skirt and loop yarn vest don't fit as well as they used to, but oh well.<br />Hard to see but I'm also wearing a Target pearl and chain necklace with silver hoop earrings.<br />Though comparing to today's inspiration pics, the black, red and white color scheme doesn't seem quite current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forum-challenge-asap-please/page/2#post-1740868 Tue, 18 Oct 2016 01:34:05 +0000 L'Abeille 1740868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's 2 maximal outfits for you, Angie.</p> <p>The first, in the photo, was worn to the recent Early Music concert (where I fell for the red shoelaces). I wore a long ditzy-print buttonfront dress with red flowers on a black ground, unbuttoned over a red ruffled skirt, and held together with a corset belt. Finished with my ghillie-laced pointy flats, and red princess coat. I felt a bit OTT, but it was a rare occasion, date night AND a chance to do a theme, so I had fun with it.</p> <p>I was going to post separately on what I wore today, but no pic yet. I think the story fits here. It was warm enough to show a little ankle skin one more time, so I reached for my slim cropped plaid pants. These have a navy ground, and would be preppy if the rest of the plaid was in primary colours, but instead it's some sort of tertiary thing, like someone took a colour wheel and twisted it east by north-east: teal green, pink, and a caramelly orange hue. (The last time I combined colours like this deliberately was to sing backup to "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch") Styling these pants in summer was easy peasy: add a navy or white T, or maybe a pinstripe shirt, plus loafers and done. Today, not so much. I wore a navy shirt and navy block heeled loafers, and a tobacco brown belt. Then realized my red-white-and-blue plaid pea jacket was too much clashing plaid, so chose the trench coat -- but needed a layer under it for warmth. Red, white, or cobalt cardi wouldn't work. Then I spotted the leopard cardi -- that's a neutral, right? I thought it worked. DD disagreed but she has very traditional tastes. </p>
