I have, let me see, three... Four, if you count the one that my MIL just gave me that I might never wear. No point in my joining you in this challenge; all my toppers get worn very regularly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763865 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:43:04 +0000 harmonica 763865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Perfect integration of tough and feminine. Especially love the yellow bag with this dark toned outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763593 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:11:20 +0000 Deborah 763593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough and feminine! Do you know how much I love this dress on you? The short jacket over the long length of the dress is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763537 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 06:48:14 +0000 rae 763537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Lyn! I think that's why Julie smartly added the hyphen... no participating in *that* Movember for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763530 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 06:24:08 +0000 Lyn D. 763530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh- got it now:<br /> Wearing all my jackets is MUCH easier then letting my 'Mo' grow for a whole month ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763514 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 05:42:01 +0000 Suz 763514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay: I am not at home until November 9. And I can't completely join you in this challenge because not all my jackets are cross-seasonal. But would it count if I joined with the intention of wearing all my fall/winter jackets? I think I have 12 fall-winter indoor (sometimes outdoor) jackets. </p> <p>Love your outfit, BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763443 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:59:13 +0000 rae 763443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright! Love having company for the challenge! Welcome, welcome. </p> <p>Aida, I'm really glad you mentioned the hair... I have been liking my hair up with my Zella jacket, too, and realized I tend towards that every winter because of my obsession with interesting jacket/coat collars. It is really tempting me to a) put layers in the back of my hair to further the illusion of a short cut or b) go all out and get a shorter cut for the colder months - probably not chin length like this, but maybe shoulder length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763418 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:26:35 +0000 Carole 763418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit, Rae! This reminds me I need to wear my Cha Cha dress. Back to your outfit, love the new jacket and bag with this, and you are really making me want the engineer type boot, love that too! Great challenge. You sure know how to have a good time with fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763410 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 02:12:14 +0000 TraceyLiz65 763410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i recently counted jackets of my own and have roughly the same as you. What a fun challenge and a good way to force you to evaluate which ones you value and are appropriate for your changing lifestyle. Good Luck on this journey and I look forward to seeing more. Great look on this first one.! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763395 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:57:02 +0000 Aida 763395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um I cannot express how much I love this outfit.... and especially how amazing your hair UP works with this! OK, I can express it: A LOT :D</p> <p>(What? Do better? OKOK: The body con, long dress is in perfect contrast to the very rugged boots and jacket. The moody colors are, of course, signature but I especially love that the jacket is lighter to keep the focus upwards. And having your hair up showcases your pretty face, and also the delicate jewelry which also makes a nice contrast against the rugged pieces. Also, good luck on the challenge!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763378 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:48:34 +0000 Jaime 763378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regardless of the challenge, this is a great outfit! In regard to the challenge, looking forward to seeing all 27! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763364 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:38:46 +0000 catgirl 763364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will join you in this challenge for indoor jackets only. My outdoor jackets serve too many purposes to be tested this way. But motos, indoor jackets and blazers are fair game. At least I'm done with cardigans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763344 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:27:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 763344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit and great challenge. Looking forward to seeing what doesn't get worn - hmmmm....should that then be "looking forward to NOT seeing"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763334 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 01:17:53 +0000 Ariadne 763334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea and love the outfit! I always thought that dress was a Bailey 44. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763299 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 00:19:13 +0000 Caro in Oz 763299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one is a keeper I presume? Jackets are the only items I have a hard time letting go of.....I'll watch this with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763295 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 00:14:16 +0000 JulieJohn 763295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae - You are so funny! Laid off, LOL. </p> <p>Good luck with the merger, it makes sense as a good way to see what items might be in the way now that your life has changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763272 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:43:57 +0000 rae 763272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the number kind of staggered me, too. But in my defense I use jackets as shirts a lot. When we don't have crazy heat waves, I even use one every day in summer. Still... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763264 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:37:22 +0000 Mo 763264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Home run with this look! I'm still chucking over the MO vembers, hee hee.<br /> And, yes, how many jackets are we talking about?? I *think* I have 14, not including coats, as you defined.</p> <p>Oops - cross posted! Wow, 27 is a good amount. I'll be very curious to see how your challenge pans out for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763261 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:36:18 +0000 rae 763261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, you've forced me to count! I have 27... dear me, I did not even know I had that many. o_0 That's not even counting two destined for dye.</p> <p>While this is obviously less than the days in the month, it's still clearly too many. My problem is that I used to have 2 wardrobes, business and casual. Now they are one in the same and, as with any merger, some are going to get laid off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763257 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:34:53 +0000 Raisin 763257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, perfect way to curate your wardrobe. How many jackets are you starting with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763250 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:30:31 +0000 JulieJohn 763250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, that dress fits you like a dream! </p> <p>Now, to hard facts: how many jackets do you own? Is it possible to wear them all in the month of Mo-vember (yay pun twin!) or must you purge some? I am verklempt over you possibly having to lose some jackets. Say it ain't so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763244 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:25:39 +0000 Day Vies 763244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So tough so soft all in the same breath. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763233 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:18:59 +0000 Mander 763233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, whaddya know, I can play too! Today I wore my fairly new cream tweed-y moto jacket to class. The rest of my outfit was pretty dull (bootcut jeans, cowboy boots, fine knit black sweater) but at least I got the jacket in there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-off-my-own-mo-vember-challenge#post-763222 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 23:11:24 +0000 rae 763222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo's monthly "wear all my ____" challenges have been so inspiring I just had to try one of my own now that the weather is behaving. For "Mo-vember," I challenge myself to wear all my jackets. It's only fitting to start off with the jacket Mo and I both own! </p> <p>The rules are as follows: </p> <p>1. Any jackets that go unworn by the end of the month must be purged from the system. Use it or lose it, Rae.</p> <p>2. Jackets are defined as hip-length and shorter and able to be worn indoors as well as out. Anything else is a "coat" (at least in CA) and will probably have its own challenge in a month or two. </p> <p>3. Jackets must be integrated into the outfit - not just slopped over my work uniform on the way out to my car.</p> <p>4. Any new purchases made during the month DO count!</p> <p>Victoria's Secret 4-in-1 jacket - Ebay<br /> Cha Cha Vente dress - Macy's<br /> Cristina bag - gift from Mom via TJ Maxx<br /> Frye Vera boots - Amazon<br /> Tiger necklace - Florence, Italy - chain via Ebay </p>
