I think a friend of mine did a very similar Disney style challenge a few months ago, too. Very similar to Disneybounding in a lot of ways. I want to be in, though with all of my other challenges (activities, weather, and that whole emotional dresser thing) I may not be able to do it every single day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-about-an-october-everyday-costume-challenge#post-1956428 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 15:53:38 +0000 Angie 1956428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FUN.</p> <p>Am cheering from the side lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-about-an-october-everyday-costume-challenge#post-1956409 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 15:06:25 +0000 rachylou 1956409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!

When I read your title, I immediately thought of “Disneybounding,” which (for those who don’t know) is a whole subculture that came out of Disney World not allowing adults to wear costumes in the parks, and is exactly what you describe. I think it’s really clever and creative. I’m in for whatever themes you come up with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-about-an-october-everyday-costume-challenge#post-1956403 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 14:56:48 +0000 Gretchen 1956403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun idea, especially since so many of us have style inspirations we could refer to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-we-think-about-an-october-everyday-costume-challenge#post-1956388 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 14:14:52 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1956388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a really cool cover of "<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNiI6C0142g">This is Halloween</a>" on YouTube last week.&nbsp; &nbsp;It made me excited for fall and for Halloween - which normally doesn't happen, because I am all about summertime and sunlight and warm weather.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It occurred to me that their outfits are really just fancier versions of everyday pieces, put together to create a character idea.</p> <p>A few years ago, my friends and I had a Disney Style Challenge group on FB, where every week, we picked a Disney-related category, and the idea was to wear an everyday outfit that captured the idea or essence of the theme.&nbsp; &nbsp;We had a lot of fun with it, for a couple of months.</p> <p>I think most of us here have wardrobe orphans, or outlier clothing/shoes/accessories, that we love, but scratch our heads about styling.&nbsp; &nbsp;I thought it might be fun to have an October challenge, where we try to create a 'costume' essence, out of what we have in our closets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Every week could be a different theme, like one week is "Hollywood", where you pick your favorite character, from your favorite film, from any era, and <b>create an outfit that you can wear out and about in your daily life, all day long</b>.&nbsp; &nbsp; Other themes could be Literature, Fairytale, Theatre, Music, or if you y'all have ideas, I would love to hear them! </p>
