It is hard to take part for me in 30 plus days, almost too hot to wear any clothes. Of course I did!</p> <p>My favourite is 1 but I love 2 as well. Both so comfortable looking but also light in spirit. Your handbag is stunning and one similar is something I would love to acquire this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1435231 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 20:05:13 +0000 Tanya 1435231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning outfits, all of them!&nbsp; The first one is amazing and love the belted coat, so flattering.&nbsp; You get A++ for this challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1435184 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:35:41 +0000 Elizabeth P 1435184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted my full&nbsp; <a href="http://http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---ingunn-challenge-week-4" rel="nofollow">week here</a> <br />But here are my challenge outfits:</p> <p>1. Borrowing from the boys:&nbsp; Doing this via my oxfords and button down.&nbsp; But I think I wrecked the menswear vibe with the sweater - was thinking of wearing a jacket but the blacks didn't match well enough.&nbsp; Oh well :)</p> <p>2. Turning a dress into a skirt.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Turtleneck.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1435173 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:24:45 +0000 amiable 1435173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - terrific outfits Ingunn, and again, a fabulous challenge. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to carrying on in to February. &nbsp;These challenges help me see how much I enjoy what I have, and minimize the urge to shop :)</p> <p>And Joy - LOVE those red and blue pants!</p> <p>Here's my final week outfits:</p> <p>#1 <b>Layered shirts</b>. &nbsp;I didn't expect this to work, but ended up liking it. &nbsp;Then on Friday, Angie posted almost this look as an ensemble. &nbsp;Does it work here? &nbsp;With the draped top over a big, soft&nbsp;buttondown over bootcuts? &nbsp;I want to wear it again, and will add pointy shoes if it's a day that I leave the house :)</p> <p>#2 Umm... not sure this was in the challenge. &nbsp;I was thinking of it as a <b>statement sweater</b>, which is one of the ones I missed in week 1, I think.</p> <p>#3 <b>Turtleneck</b>. &nbsp;I'm hoping this is at least sort of un-stuffy. &nbsp;It was comfy with my long cardigan and skinnies, and I'm planning to wear it again. &nbsp;This was the first wearing for this turtleneck, but won't be the last - I'd forgotten how warm they are.</p> <p>#4 <b>Borrowing from the boys</b>. &nbsp;I assumed I would wear my 7 jeans and my husband's tee for this day, but both were in the wash, so I decided to go with menswear inspired instead. &nbsp;So I paired a crisp white buttondown with a vest. &nbsp;I liked this pretty well too.</p> <p>#5 <b>Dress as a skirt</b>. &nbsp;I slipped a sweater over this asymmetric shirt dress (that's rather summery). &nbsp;I'm not sure it worked, but it was fun to try :)</p> <p>Thanks again Ingunn - I'll post these to my own thread too, so that it can be in my search results :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434670 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 19:34:39 +0000 Anonymous 1434670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, thank you for this challenge. It was fun and I learned a lot. Here is my week. I didn't get a photo of layered buttondowns, but I still need to work with that style. Below 1/2, 7 is unstuffy turtleneck two ways. 3 is dress as skirt with the dress shown in 4. I added leggings I don't wear dresses this short any more. 5 is a leather coat belted. 6 is borrowed from the men.<br /> I hope that there is a February challenge although I will be away from home with a tiny wardrobe to work from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434582 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:15:13 +0000 Ingunn 1434582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the kind words, ladies. I think I only got the light version of a flu, not the real thing, so I'm fine now. I'm very happy that my little calendar challenge has been worthwhile and entertaining to follow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434493 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:09:54 +0000 celia 1434493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that my favourite is #3 but only because I love coats and that one looks borderline yummy.<br /> Good call on getting your DH shirt, and wise man that he is for letting you keep it. No good shirt should be left alone in the closet.<br /> The pants in #2 suit you perfectly and I think that the pairing with the turtleneck is spot on.<br /> The three outfits are winners.<br /> looking forward to February . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434488 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:05:40 +0000 Angie 1434488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Husbands come in handy don't they, Ingunn. </p> <p>I LOVE #1. Absolutely Killer Wow. </p> <p>#2 is Sporty Luxe Fabness.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #3 is on trend with the belting. So very elegant and fun. A wonderful way to end your fabulous challenge. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434485 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:03:15 +0000 Beth Ann 1434485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I had been up to your challenges --- and I love the way you made them truly challenging, but allowed yourself the freedom to revise them to fit your day.&nbsp; </p> <p>You've always been "Queen Remix," with your Redbook posts, etc., but I'm amazed at the variety you've achieved over the last weeks.&nbsp; I think I like the first outfit best --- but only for selfish reasons.&nbsp; I think I'll repeat it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434474 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:54:48 +0000 Elizabeth P 1434474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three great outfits Ingunn!&nbsp; Total score on that shirt... I hope we see it often.&nbsp; And choosing the sneakers to go with the skirt was a really great idea.&nbsp; I'll try to remember to file that one away.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sorry you have been feeling ill.&nbsp; I hope you're on the road to recovery now.&nbsp; </p> <p>Will post my week when I get home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434467 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:49:24 +0000 texstyle 1434467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great gift from DH - love that shirt on you. I can't believe you were up to the challenge at all with the flu - I'm still coughing some after 3 weeks. Ugh! Glad you are feeling better. #2 is also great - classic with a touch of modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434465 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:49:12 +0000 Suz 1434465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, so sorry you were ill, but you are looking wonderful! Love all these outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>What a SCORE with that Paul Smith shirt -- it looks smashing on you, and both those outfits are going to be fantastic for spring. Love this!&nbsp;</p> <p>What Shevia said about the sneakers with #2. The white details provide just the right "punch" and liven the look.&nbsp;</p> <p>And what a gorgeous belt on the coat! Not cheating at all. I am jealous of that beautiful, substantial snakeskin belt and would love to find one like it.&nbsp;</p> <p>That Danier bag has turned into a real workhorse. I need to get a lighter coloured bag for winter, too. Clearly a useful item.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434441 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:19:59 +0000 harmonica 1434441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're on recovery. Everyone goes down by the flu in Jan. Fab all the way, especially loving the first one. Yay for DH's giveaway.&nbsp; White in Jan is refreshing. SOrry I couldn't follow this challenge - I just lost track. Very fun to see you and the others, though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434412 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 13:22:00 +0000 Jaime 1434412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you are feeling better - you look smashing! DH made the right decision giving you that shirt. It looks terrific on you. I love how you used the sneakers to liven up the monochrome look and your belting the coat is not cheating at all. They are all my favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434383 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:32:12 +0000 trekkiegirl 1434383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't play along, but I enjoyed seeing outfits from those who did and am feeling braver - I hope there will be another calendar style challenge soon, maybe the next time I will try some of the styles out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-final-week-calendar-challenge#post-1434378 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:23:08 +0000 Ingunn 1434378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where did January go? Was it the calendar challenge that made it vanish so quickly? It definitely helped beat the gloom for me and made fashion a bit more fun AND the sartorial decision making easier. It even stretched me quite&nbsp;a bit.&nbsp;</p> <p>This week I went under the weather (can one&nbsp;say that?) with the flu, so I only did three days of the challenge. Sunday, monday and tuesday I only made it into my sweatpants.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 Wednesday: I was still under recovery, so I didn't go outside at all.&nbsp;<b>Making a dress into a skirt </b>felt like too much work for a stay at home-day, so I <b>borrowed from the men</b> instead. Quite literally, too, because I stole my husband's shirt for the first time in 25 years! He has this lovely Paul Smith plaid shirt in a beautiful thick cotton. I paired it with blue jeans, rolled, and the new moto (again, sorry). The sunlight outside made me long for Spring so I put on the suede stone booties and even my silver pumps just for fun. This must be dressing for a life I want, not the one I have, because the only appropriate footwear these days is Sorel's. Bonus: DH donated the shirt to me when he saw me in it :)</p> <p>#2 Thursday: I felt well enough to go to work and attend a few meetings, but I din't feel like <b>layering two shirts or other similar pieces</b>, so I went for <b>unstuffy turtleneck</b> instead. The pleated trousers from Paris have been a favorite this winter, and I think they pair well with the rather fitted turtleneck. For extra warmth I added the cashmere poncho, and to perk things up (more Spring fever + add some white) I wore the Adi sneaks indoors.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 Friday: Today is it <b>belt your coat </b>day. I tried belting the red coat, but it looked funny, so I swapped the self belt on the grey coat with a snake print belt in leather instead. Is that cheating? &nbsp;To amp up the military vibe I added a thin silk scarf around my neck under the collar instead of a big chunky one on top as I normally do. The scarf is black and cream and repeats the light color in the bag.&nbsp;I paired this with black Chelsea boots and leather gloves and the Stone Danier bag. A red lip finishes the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Did you do any of the challenges this week? Please share if you did.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for following along. It has been a lot of fun trying to be creative within the limitations of the January calendar, and I'm considering doing it in February, too.
