I really like the dress and sneakers. I have to say the last outfit is a true standout, though. You look great in those colors, and I think the whole outfit, with the slouchy, yet polished classic vibe, is so you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1422660 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 15:08:26 +0000 Jjsloane 1422660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun! I just printed the calendar to post in my closet for inspiration.&nbsp;<br />I enjoy seeing the participation and my favorite of your outfits this week is the last one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1422644 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 14:33:59 +0000 Suz 1422644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just catching up with all of you! Shedev, #2 is spectacular on you! Wow. I really love the vest and the softer tones on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>And Elizabeth, I love every one of these on you! That sweater is just spectacular on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1422619 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 12:33:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 1422619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for playing Shedev and Joy. It's fun to see how differently we interpreted the same criteria. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1422616 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 12:31:29 +0000 Ingunn 1422616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Shedev! My favorite is #2. The drape of the vest and the patterned pants add interest, and the boots look really cozy.&nbsp;Thank you for participating!</p> <p>Joy, thank you for playing along all week! I adore the graphic tee/checkered pants/dotted socks combo. Really fun but not at all too much. #4-6 is really beautiful and elegant. And the shirt/oxford combination blows me away, wow! You owned that look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1422405 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 22:44:06 +0000 Anonymous 1422405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, how did I miss this? I put mine on a separate thread so it would also be in my YLF blog, but here are mine.<br /> 1-3: pattern mixing/graphic tee. This is out of my comfort zone but worked well for a casual day<br /> 4-6: Daytime sparkle. Worn on a very cold day to teach. I hope that you can see the sparkle bits in shirt, shoes and earrings.<br /> 7: sneakers with a dress. Sneakers would have been too cold so I subbed oxfords. This one was a real challenge.<br /> 8: No black: Layered light neutrals and pink<br /> Thank you for the challenge. It makes getting dressed more fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421847 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 00:29:23 +0000 shedev 1421847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Ingunn.</p> <p>Wow, Elizabeth, that red sweater makes your hair look fantastic.</p> <p>Here's mine.</p> <p>1. <b>belted scarf or poncho, </b>I don't have either of those so I subbed in the All Saints Verney vest. worn with Underarmour thermal, DKNY jacket, Rewind camo skinnies, and Mix no6 booties. Didn't like the belting but the thumb holes under the jacket. The layers made me really warm during our brutally frigid weather.</p> <p>2. <b>No black,</b>&nbsp; I was really happy in this. VS pink thermal, Old Navy sweater, NY&amp;CO camo jeans, Crown Royal boots.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421737 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:27:16 +0000 Ingunn 1421737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Elisabeth! Thank you so much for joining in with me. I made the calendar on Tuesday, so noone saw it until then. I love the winter sneakers, we have those here, too:) The shiny sweater is fab, and red is always a winner in my book. Have you done anything to your hair? It has a beautiful bright tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421682 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:18:36 +0000 Elizabeth P 1421682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, my turn!</p> <p>I didn't see the post until Tuesday, so missed&nbsp; both Monday and Tuesday.&nbsp; But I combined Tuesday and Wed... sort of.&nbsp; <br />#1 Here is some pattern mixing with wearing a dress.&nbsp; And when it's -20C, you can call these Canadian winter sneakers :)<br />#2.&nbsp; Daytime metallics/sparkle<br />#3.&nbsp; No black.&nbsp; Well, I hope a belt is okay, it really was the only colour that worked.&nbsp; And I had intended to wear my red winter boots, but the forecast was for snow then rain, so I opted for practical and wore Bogs, and carried some footware in to the office.&nbsp; So black booties won out.&nbsp; Oh well, at least my main pieces aren't black for a change!</p> <p>It was fun to have a goal when choosing an outfit.&nbsp; Tks Ingunn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421678 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 21:15:35 +0000 Beth Ann 1421678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 and 6 make me so happy!&nbsp; I do "no black" days sometimes myself, and red is such a wonderful shot of energy.&nbsp; </p> <p>You look terrific in all the challenges -- glad you're finding a way to enjoy and recombine the items in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421664 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 20:22:38 +0000 texstyle 1421664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #4-6 - love that non-black ensemble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421618 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:14:03 +0000 Alassë 1421618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to see you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421589 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 18:28:32 +0000 rachylou 1421589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is #1.

Especially all the red. Red looks sooooo fresh all of a sudden, Ingunn - don't you think?&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 and #5 ar my faves. Killer look. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421422 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:33:48 +0000 jackiec 1421422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits! I love 4/5 - so fresh and bright for January! I missed the original challenge somehow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421413 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:25:03 +0000 ramya 1421413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Ingunn I did do the dress and sneakers and no black challenge but forgot to take pictures!!!</p> <p>You however look absolutely fab!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421402 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:07:07 +0000 Ingunn 1421402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, harmonica! The sweater is indeed warm, so I'm only wearing it when I'm sitting at my desk all day, or out and about. The sweater dress picture is not a good one, and I think the dress has a lovely drape and swoosh that doesn't come through here. I wish I could show you that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421394 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:57:01 +0000 harmonica 1421394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely challenge! #5-6 is eyecatching and beautiful. Also love the simplicity of #4. Great fit and great tucking. Looks like a warm &amp; cozy sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421386 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:46:13 +0000 Ingunn 1421386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I am happy to see all the love for my red coat. It is in its third season, and I think I like it even better now than I did last winter.<br />&nbsp;<br />Suz, I agree! Why didn't I think of that? I think the long, grey cardigan will look a lot fresher with the sparkly top. And you are right about the red/brown ensemble, too. It must have been a sub-conscious influence.&nbsp;What I had in mind was in fact the olive, white and red color scheme from last year, but my olive chinos look a bit too tired for work now, so I went with the light grey ones instead.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't wait to see what others have come up with. If not this week, then next, and remember - you can treat the criterias freely, meaning repeat or wear on another day/week&nbsp;if you feel like it. There are no strict rules applied to this challenge.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: Elisabeth, we double posted! I'm so happy to hear that you have done the challenge, too, and can't wait to see what you've come up with. Yes the metallic was a hard one. For some reason I'm hanging onto the sparkly top, I think it is among the oldest pieces in my wardobe. I remember buying it for a Christmas party in, let's say 2002 or 2003.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421385 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:42:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1421385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done Ingunn, you obviously used your own challenge to mix things up for you.&nbsp; I am impressed that you picked a "criteria" that wasn't easy for you - the metallic one.</p> <p>I think I like the no-black one the best - the softer colours suit you, and the way everything fits is very flattering.</p> <p>I managed to get four (well, 3.5 ) of your challenges done, so will post when I get home and download today's pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421381 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:35:53 +0000 Suz 1421381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your last one fits into Angie's red/brown capsule! I love it on you -- very fresh. The dress with sneakers is also fun. I see what you are saying about #2. It is the style of the cardi, I think. Switch up the style of that and it would be refreshed. You could try it with your grey cardi and grey pants instead, for instance.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't been able to jump in yet due to work obligations and weather. Hope to do a few of them, however.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421378 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:26:54 +0000 amiable 1421378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I somehow missed this - I'm going to check out the calendar and join in! &nbsp;And I particularly love #4!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421374 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 13:16:17 +0000 Jaime 1421374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week - my favorite is the no black 4-6! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421365 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:49:58 +0000 crutcher 1421365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfits 4 &amp; 5 are perfect for the color and the style...Love, love, love the red scarf and coat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421353 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 1421353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping back to say I had another look at your calendar and I spotted a couple for next week that are do-able for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-fashion-challenge-calendar-week-1#post-1421351 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 10:58:12 +0000 Karie 1421351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!
