I think I will give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-62039 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:54:26 +0000 hanna 62039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kari, i thought this would be a great way to push ourselves with color, considering all the theories we've learned - but i think another way to go about it, if you're looking for inspiration, is to look at the various ways the characters have been interpreted - in the board game, then and now; in the movie - and see if you can translate the essence of their style as well. </p> <p>for instance, the first thing that pops to mind when you look at pictures of miss scarlet is that she is clearly the sexy, sassy, seductive type - how would you convey that appropriately through your everyday clothes, while still incorporating her signature color? that makes it a double challenge of course! </p> <p>the theme is entirely open to your own interpretation - that's part of the fun! can't wait to see what everyone comes up with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-62033 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:34:49 +0000 Kari 62033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like fun! I'm thinking about joining the party. Hanna, out of curiosity, are you mostly aiming for color themes, or are you pushing this farther to try to capture the characters, too? I doubt I'll have quite that much creativity/versatility, but I might give it a shot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61977 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:52:27 +0000 bella 61977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may give this a try, although I am pretty sure I don't own anything in mustard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61967 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:30:34 +0000 Sarah 61967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm up for the challenge! I may not have everything, but I'll do what I can. How fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61952 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:13:46 +0000 hanna 61952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) have fun with it, everyone! you're welcome to participate, or just be a spectator to this week-long color experiment, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61921 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:52:56 +0000 Anonymous 61921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea. I will not be participating because I don't go someplace everyday. I will however really enjoy watching the thread to see how it goes.<br /> Thanks Hanna for putting some spice into the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61912 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:56:52 +0000 Ariadne 61912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome, Hanna! I'm going to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61908 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:41:08 +0000 Kristen 61908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Sihaya; the weather dictates the clothes right now so I don't think I can stick to a strict color schedule, but I will do one of these per day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61907 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:34:09 +0000 Maya 61907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like fun! I'll sit out since I don't have either either the colors or the opportunity but it's fun to think about dressing this way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61904 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:04:18 +0000 Sihaya 61904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm excited about this. I'm not sure I will be able to follow the exact day per character since it will depend on the weather. Some colors I only own in cooler outfits and some others in warmer outfits. While I can probably cover all over the span of a week or so, I'm not sure I will do so in that particular order. In addition to weather, it will depend on what I'm doing that day (mom stuff, formal client, less formal client, etc.). </p> <p>Very much looking forward to this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61891 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:32:04 +0000 hanna 61891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooo, good idea kristen! i was planning on a daily blog post that week anyway </p> <p>hmm, if some of us would prefer a guideline per day, here's the schedule i will be following - and posting photos accordingly, of course.</p> <p>week beginning monday, 4/27:</p> <p>monday: miss scarlet<br /> tuesday: mrs peacock<br /> wednesday: colonel mustard<br /> thursday: mr green<br /> friday: mrs white</p> <p>(take the weekend off!)</p> <p>monday: mr black<br /> tuesday: professor plum</p> <p>i'm editing the original post to include this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61889 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:14:21 +0000 Kristen 61889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this idea! I'm in -- although I might have to stretch it for a couple of colors.</p> <p>Hannah, if I may suggest: instead of waiting until the end of the week, what if you posted a daily thread where each of us participating could post links to our photos in the comments. That way we can all enjoy it as it goes on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61864 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:30:53 +0000 Louise 61864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh sounds like fun will have a go, though i might struggle with a couple of them x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61862 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:28:38 +0000 hanna 61862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm so glad there are people up for the challenge! i just feel like 'challenges' and 'theme weeks' like this would make it easier for all of us to put into practice what sites like ylf and academichic, etc try to teach us - just in a fun, no-pressure kind of way.</p> <p>legacyofpearl, i'm not making this too hard-and-fast where rules are concerned - to truly stick to the challenge you'd just have to make sure you try to cover all 7 characters, back-to-back. if that's too difficult, at least try accomodating as many of them as possible! i'll start a thread with my pics once the challenge is over, and we can all share our pics then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61860 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:16:23 +0000 LoP 61860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm up for it. I don't think I have some pieces that would fit in my limited closet away from home. It is even more fun this way. Are you going to assign colors to days? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61849 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:28:31 +0000 Vani 61849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hanna, what a wonderful idea! This is exactly what I need to force me to rethink the colors in my closet. I have a feeling I might be able to find something for each character but let me shop my closet tonight and confirm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61775 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:01:42 +0000 chewyspaghetti 61775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea!<br /> Unfortunately, I don't have most of those colors in my wardrobe, but I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61768 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:44:31 +0000 hanna 61768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay, i'm glad i got some people to hop on this crazy train! ;)</p> <p>i'll be going all out starting next monday, but feel free to start whenever you like! i'm not going to hold anyone to any hard and fast rules - well, except for the fact that while your outfits don't have to be monochrome, the character should be your dominant color. just make sure to post your pics, because i really want to see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61766 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:13:04 +0000 crwilson 61766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh...that sounds like fun! I'll have to see what I can find in my depleted closet. I'll try it out, though. Do you mean this week (as in starting now?) or next week? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61764 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:10:27 +0000 Sihaya 61764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re-posting, sorry if duplicate. What a great idea Hanna. If I can find enough pieces in my closet that fit me now that I've gaines some weight :-(, I'm up for the challenge. Or I might just post with one outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theme-week-anyone-up-for-a-fasion-challenge-#post-61762 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:05:02 +0000 hanna 61762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i was going to do this for my blog, but i thought it would be fun to open it up to the forum and see what everyone would come up with!</p> <p>i love me some board games, and since i'm going to have a stressful week, i thought next week would be a great time to have some fashion fun. so next week i'm basing my outfits off the characters in the board game 'clue' (cluedo, depending on where you're from - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluedo" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluedo</a>). those characters are:</p> <p>Colonel Mustard<br /> Miss Scarlet<br /> Reverend Green/Mr. Green<br /> Professor Plum<br /> Mrs. White<br /> Mrs. Peacock<br /> Dr. Black/Mr. Boddy</p> <p>your challenge, should you choose to accept it is to come up with seven outfits based on these characters/colors. be imaginative! it's a fun way to break out off a color rut :).</p> <p>i hope some of you may be interested in joining in, but if not, i'll post my own photos pretty soon!</p> <p>----------------------</p> <p>EDIT: this is the order i'll be doing the challenge in - feel free to follow along, or go in whatever order you like! i will be posting a daily outfit thread for this, as per kristen's suggestion :):)</p> <p>week beginning monday, 4/27:</p> <p>monday: miss scarlet<br /> tuesday: mrs peacock<br /> wednesday: colonel mustard<br /> thursday: mr green<br /> friday: mrs white</p> <p>(take the weekend off!)</p> <p>monday: mr black<br /> tuesday: professor plum</p> <p>last day of challenge = tuesday, 5/5</p> <p>have fun everyone! </p>
