I’ll have to dig for it, but I posted a pic in Jan of me wearing exactly those colors. </p> <p>Really, though, I’m still learning the rules too much to jump to the “breaking with intent” stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/second-july-challenge---breaking-the-rules#post-1935094 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:45:49 +0000 cindysmith 1935094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is going to be fun to see. I guess I am totally breaking the rules by growing out my hair and thinking of dying of it purple. And I think blue and green work well together. So I'm excited to see how you guys break the rules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/second-july-challenge---breaking-the-rules#post-1934066 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 21:57:08 +0000 Sal 1934066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great - Joy has got the "ball rolling" which is fantastic!!&nbsp; I have a few personal rules that I do adhere to but I don't like the arbitrary rules.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/second-july-challenge---breaking-the-rules#post-1934051 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 20:29:36 +0000 RobinF 1934051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This will be interesting and inspirational!

Can't wait to see what people come up with. I probably won't be able to post WIWs, but two "fashion don'ts" that have piqued my interest lately are volume-on-volume (especially long-over-wide) and visible socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/second-july-challenge---breaking-the-rules#post-1933818 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 21:13:08 +0000 Anonymous 1933818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT suggestion for the next leg of the Challenge. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/second-july-challenge---breaking-the-rules#post-1933815 Wed, 04 Jul 2018 21:06:43 +0000 Sal 1933815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>For next week the challenge will be "Breaking the rules".</p> <p>What are the rules - well I have heard some (not from YLF or Angie) but over the years such as:<br />- don't wear blue and green together<br />- you have to wear heels in a formal outfit<br />- don't have long hair over 40 years of age<br />- petite people can't wear midi's<br />- hourglasses must show off their waist</p> <p>Here is a blog post by Angie on this topic!!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/06/26/ten-fashion-fallacies/">https://youlookfab.com/2018/06.....fallacies/</a></p> <p>There may be other rules you can break too.....</p> <p>I did float around a few other ideas for a challenge but will be away after the second week of July so am not the best person to run a challenge.&nbsp; And I think NAS starts and the focus might shift.</p> <p>Start posting from 8th July!!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
