Maybe it's just that I get lazy and wear my FFBO's and don't take the time to put my creative powers to work. Or maybe they're all really duds and will end up in the donate pile!&nbsp;Just this morning I came across a bracelet that is beautiful but I have NEVER worn it (it was a gift). I have to&nbsp;include it in an outfit for next week! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-927500 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:53:39 +0000 shedev 927500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm glad most of you dont seem to have a lot of orphans, even though I've purged a ton of stuff, I still do have alot. It tells me I'm still holding on to a lot of stuff. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-927120 Tue, 07 May 2013 22:47:30 +0000 Kristin L 927120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm willing to give it a try as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-927070 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:18:33 +0000 Mo 927070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thinking we can also add why we don't tend to wear said orphans - like fit, fabrication, level of dressiness, lack of occasions, etc? &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-927067 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:16:13 +0000 K.

I need to either wear them, or donate them and make room for something I will wear more often! Also, with things like shoes, I could hopefully make more than one outfit with them next week https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926684 Tue, 07 May 2013 04:28:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 926684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great idea - I've ditched all of my orphans&nbsp;so&nbsp;I'll be cheering from the side-line:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926683 Tue, 07 May 2013 04:24:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 926683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I might be in.

It has still been too cold for most spring outfits but maybe by then I'll be trying to wear spring/summer things and then I know I'll need help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926626 Tue, 07 May 2013 02:31:38 +0000 Karie 926626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it, goldenpig!

I will join in for sure but realistically will only post once.<br /> There are several things I really liked about the last challenge, the PPC.<br /> I was motivated to think creatively about what I have in my wardrobe and, although I only posted one outfit, I planned some others which I will eventually wear.<br /> Your suggestion has me thinking already.<br /> While a challenge doesn't provide the usual pithy responses one gets with an individual post, I find it an efficient way to share with a broader cross section of the forum.<br /> Now, what will you call this challenge?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926455 Mon, 06 May 2013 23:22:57 +0000 MsMary 926455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926426 Mon, 06 May 2013 22:42:11 +0000 shedev 926426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Count me in. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/up-for-a-challenge#post-926417 Mon, 06 May 2013 22:30:55 +0000 Karie 926417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Angie's post this morning about outfit creation, plus my own seasonal closet editing, got me thinking about those clothing items that I really like but don't often wear. This always happens because I have difficulty putting an outfit together with them. First I thought, "Why not do a personal challenge?" Then I decided to take it one step further and see if anyone else would like to join me. So here's my&nbsp;challenge suggestion (and I really don't know how to go about this, or if it has been done recently,&nbsp;so I'm just throwing it out there):<br /><br /><b>Take one item each day for a week that you like but have trouble wearing in an outfit, and create an outfit with that item. It can be an article of clothing or an accessory.</b><br /><br />If enough people want to join me, great! I don't mind starting the thread each day and moderating. We could do it starting Monday May 13 and I could post a reminder and&nbsp;guidelines Sunday.&nbsp;If not, no biggie!<br /><br />As Angie says, "Over to you!" Is anyone interested?</div>
