Haven't been around much lately because of craziness at work and home and computer complications but I miss everyone. This will be a fun way to get back into the swing of things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-91163 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:53:46 +0000 Louise 91163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab idea can't wait to give it a go x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-91153 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:16:49 +0000 greenglove 91153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I am able, I will join. Next week is a bit crazy because of the start of the school year but maybe I will find time. If not I will be cheering you on, thanks Hanna!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-91149 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:08:57 +0000 yublocka 91149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll try as much as I can too - sounds fun. Thanks so much for suggesting this hanna - the last challenge was so fun!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-91034 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 22:24:48 +0000 cciele 91034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea for a challenge, hanna! I'm in for a few days or so </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-91015 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 21:23:43 +0000 hanna 91015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay, next week it is! i will post the first picture and description on sunday night. </p> <p>and yes, of course bella, this is not intended to be a strict challenge -- participate as and when you are able and when the picture inspires you, though i do think part of the challenge is finding inspiration in the unlikeliest of photos :)</p> <p>i look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90924 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:50:23 +0000 bella 90924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Kristen. Let's start next week.<br /> Also, I don't think people should feel like once they commit to doing the challenge, they should stick to it religiously every day of the week. I think it is ok to drop by and do an outfit or two if you feel particularly inspired by the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90894 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:45:50 +0000 Kari 90894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds fabulous! I'm up for it, Hanna. Thanks for initiating another challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90885 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:20:12 +0000 shannon 90885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll try. Being a SAHM I sometimes don't leave the house, but on the days that I do I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90879 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:49:48 +0000 Michelle 90879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani and Hannah, you guys are so thoughtful!! A description would most definitely help, so count me in with one proviso: I'm still in guide dog training and will be for some time, so I may not be able to jump in every day; it'll depend on what items I have here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90877 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:40:17 +0000 Sarah 90877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90876 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:32:51 +0000 Kristen 90876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally in!</p> <p>Why not start next week? The Monday holiday would give some of us working girls *grin* a chance to play in our, er, play clothes. (Which is still how I refer to them all these years later: school clothes, church clothes, and play clothes. LOL!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90864 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:44:49 +0000 Ana 90864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90855 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:12:08 +0000 kimlee 90855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, this sounds like a great idea. Now that my body is starting to change thanks to pregnancy, I am finding myself in a severe rut - wearing the same 4 bottoms with the same 8 tops. This challenge will help me mix things up and recapture some of my fab feelings that were lost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90854 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 13:11:39 +0000 hanna 90854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) thanks debora. glad to know there are so many takers. any more? :):)</p> <p>michelle, what do you think of our suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90785 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:47:46 +0000 Debora 90785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, great idea!

Do you think that could work? Thoughtful, Vani. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90768 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:27:35 +0000 Vani 90768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...Michelle, if maybe some of us took a shot at describing the picture (colors, texture, description of the scene etc), would it help you participate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90767 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:13:56 +0000 Michelle 90767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't play this one, but wanted to give kudos to your creativity!

Love it hanna! I think I might have mentioned this as an idea in one of very first challenge idea brainstorming threads. So many people can interpret this is so many different ways; I'm just so excited to see what comes out of this!</p> <p>And I love that calendar, thanks for posting it hanna </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-challenge-a-picture-says-a-thousandstyles#post-90726 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:20:05 +0000 hanna 90726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi guys!</p> <p>as it's been a while since we've had a challenge, i thought i'd start another one... assuming you guys are interested, of course :).</p> <p>this time, i wanted us to think outside the box in terms of drawing inspiration -- and to see how something that inspires us in one way, can inspire someone else in totally different ways! so this is the "picture perfect" challenge. if you're interested, here's how it will work:</p> <p>- this challenge will take place over the course of a work week (perhaps the week after next, as this weekend is a long weekend?). THE NIGHT BEFORE EACH WORK DAY i will post a picture from flickr's "interesting things" calendar:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/2009/08/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/2009/08/</a></p> <p>these photos are uploaded daily and i will put up that picture no matter what it is; this means i will not be selecting photos that especially appeal to me or anything like that. it will be as much of a surprise to me as it is to you!</p> <p>- your challenge will be to draw inspiration from the photo to come up with an outfit for the next day! post it in the thread where i posted the original photo. </p> <p>what is this supposed to teach us? we've all fallen into ruts with our wardrobes where it can seem impossible to create fresh, new combinations -- especially if you're on a tight budget and can't afford to splash out money on new things. this challenge should help train our eyes to draw inspiration from sources that aren't necessarily fashion-y, and force us to reevaluate our wardrobes and come up with fresh outfits. and plus, it's always fun to see what others see when they're looking at the exact same thing!</p> <p>so? anybody game? i'll be doing it anyway, so you're welcome to just offer your much-appreciated feedback, but i'd love it if anyone else wanted to participate </p>
