This worked so well for you last year. Any of your outfits new combos? Repeats? Any outfits the same as your first go-round with this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-august-challenge#post-1533090 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:24:49 +0000 Anonymous 1533090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great challenge. Oh how I wish our weather was predictable enough to plan a month ahead. </p> <p>I think it's a good plan to leave footwear as a decide on the day option, as it adds a nice flexibility and also that you might repeat outfits if that's what your heart desires. I think you'll end up getting to know how a good chunk of your wardrobe works and how you feel about it. Good luck!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-august-challenge#post-1533062 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 14:56:26 +0000 Susie 1533062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First goal for August....don't buy any more fall or winter clothes! (Exempted from this is footwear.)</p> <p>For my challenge, I went back to last summer's challenge to myself, what I called the outfit project. </p> <p>I selected a bunch of pieces that I felt would be good to wear during August (the month of hot!). I started with a mix of tops and bottoms and started making outfits. I took one section of my closet and hung all of the outfits there; I have close to 20 or almost enough to not repeat work day outfits if I don't want to. I used 33 different wardrobe items (not intentionally!) plus 3 scarves. Footwear and bags are whatever I feel like wearing when I choose that day's outfit. Typically, I seem to wear about 10 pairs of shoes and use 12-15 different bags in a month. </p> <p>The challenge to myself now is to wear these outfits but to not force anything...each day I want to choose what feels right, what makes me happy, what I love. If that means repeating one outfit 3 times while not wearing another at all, that's ok. I know that I am very organized and a planner, but I also want to allow my heart to have a say in what I wear. If I don't end up wearing certain items. I do want&nbsp;to try to determine why- fit, feel, style, or just a mood. </p> <p><u><i></i></u></p>
