I think it would be physically impossible for me. I honestly don't know how I fall on the RATE/polished spectrum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428246 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:46:23 +0000 catgirl 428246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, 100% of each Team, Aida - that's what I was striving for today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428243 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:43:42 +0000 Aida 428243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also am not totally sure what team I'm on, pretty sure I'm 50-50 or possibly polished RATE. Hmm not sure I could do all the way one or the other, so I suppose my challenge will be to try both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428192 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 22:32:01 +0000 Michelle 428192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This hard-core member of Team Polished would probably really struggle to pull off a Rait look, but I'm totally game for team-switching challenges, particularly if the field of teams is open! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428157 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:28:50 +0000 Anonymous 428157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know which team I am, but I'll try an intentional Rate, since usually I strive for Polish </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428153 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:21:48 +0000 goldenpig 428153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I remembered, I do have one RATE item...my Aquatalia red zipper boots! Does that count?</p> <p>Una and all you RATE gals, is this outfit considered RATE or is it still polished? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428132 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:58:14 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 428132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I TRY to be on Team Polished when I am at dog shows but I'm still pretty RATE.

I would fail so miserably at this challenge. </p> <p>I didn't take a WIW today - maybe I will try after work if my kids let me - but my failed attempt at polished today includes hubby's 20+ year old leather braided belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-428004 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:58:02 +0000 Lynne 428004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I just realized that would make it really confusing! I think I'll pick just one attribute to swap sides for the day :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427993 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:40:44 +0000 catgirl 427993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, bonus points for multiple Team-Switching! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427987 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:33:42 +0000 Lynne 427987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, we posted at the same time :). I count myself as Team RATE and Team Casual and Team Neutrals. So that would make my challenge POP, Dressy, and Colour....hmmm...could be interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427986 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:33:03 +0000 Laurinda 427986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun idea.<br /> (This RATE team member does need a haircut.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427980 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:28:47 +0000 cciele 427980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a poster child RATE and don't think I can be polished, but I'll give it a shot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427978 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:27:32 +0000 Kat 427978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My multiple personality closet and I would love to join in the fun! Great idea....<br /> Hmm, actually having the captains post the requirements for the teams may help me figure out which team I'm actually on...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427977 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:27:20 +0000 catgirl 427977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a great idea, Lynne! Maybe harder to do for some (like Team Heels vs. Flats) but there are certainly enough Teams to choose from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427970 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:24:17 +0000 Lynne 427970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I think Mary K might be your Team Polished counterpart?</p> <p>Can we participate by trying out any other team? For instance, if we are Team Black, challenging ourselves to try Team White? So it becomes more of a bat for the other team for the day type challenge???Just a thought - not meaning to derail your thread here, Una :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427969 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:22:51 +0000 MsMary 427969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally in! In fact, I have RATE curly hair today so I think I'm there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-up-for-a-team-switching-challenge#post-427967 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:20:38 +0000 catgirl 427967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Captain of Team RATE, I call upon Team RATE and Team Polished to take on the challenge of dressing for the other team for a day. Of course, if you have an utterly cohesive wardrobe true to your style, you won't be able to pull out the elements - evidently that's the case with me. But I'm going to give it another try! I'm going to start a separate thread on Elements of RATE to give people a fighting chance, and whomever is in charge of Team Polished is encouraged to do the same.</p> <p>ETA: For extra credit, when you post your outfit(s), explain why you feel your outfit meets the criteria of RATE/Polished.</p> <p>I think this will be a good exercise actually - like challenging the half of my brain (or more!) that I don't normally use.</p> <p>Let the wild rumpus start! </p>
