I also really want to try a similar challenge ... although I will have to think long and hard if I own enough of any single color to be able to do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1192234 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 10:12:06 +0000 Ornella 1192234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Neel</b> :: we had two parties already, one at the playcentre (shared b-day with the boy from the neighbourhood)&nbsp;where his favourite part was - playing mini golf with me. Normally it's crazy slides and other adrenalin-boosting stuff.</p> <p><b>Marmee</b> :: sorry for the late reply. Yes, I made the cake, it was all about the lion face. DS loves Lego Chima and lions. So, it was all playing with a bit of creamy fillings to have the eye catching photo motif For our family celebration I adapted one cookies recipe for the cake form and played with icing sugar and cocoa to get the lion face again :-)<br />And yes, all this digesting of the big ideas is awesome. It really makes you stop and thing how wonderful and wondrous the process of&nbsp;learning about the world is.</p> <p>Thank you all again, more b-day updates to come as we have the biggest party for the school friends in 3 weeks... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1191622 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:25:31 +0000 columbine(erin) 1191622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun post to read/see.

You make me miss so much that time in my life - but, I was never as stylish as you are. You wear cobalt blue exceptionally well. What a fun challenge, too! I can't pick a favorite. Congrats to your son, he is so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1191512 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:03:46 +0000 carter 1191512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is brilliant!

You have both the basic pieces and the trend pieces to pull off this challenge and look cohesive and stylish day after day, in everything from skirts to jeans. You look great in your leather jacket, too!</p> <p>DS is adorable and you are a fun and stylish Mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1191491 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:38:10 +0000 Janet 1191491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great challenge! I agree with your son. He is so cute. Enjoy this age. I can't believe my stepsons are now 23 and soon to be 26. They were around your son's age when I met them, and boy has that time gone quickly!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1191477 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:01:22 +0000 Sarah A 1191477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic challenge Ornella!

Congrats to DS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-magnificent-seven#post-1191440 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:20:49 +0000 Ornella 1191440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally guilty of pretentious titles...</p> <p>In my defence, the thread title&nbsp;is not inspired by my seven outfits, instead it is about last week's event which I mentioned in one of the earlier posts, DS celebrating his 7th birthday.&nbsp;Thank you all for the good wishes expressed. He is a&nbsp;magnificent person already,&nbsp;the time with him is magnificent and I feel magnificent being his mum. See, quite justified&nbsp;:-D</p> <p><b><u>About the outfits</u></b><br />The weekend before <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sooo-angie-mentioned-that-wearable-collection">I posted an outfit</a></b> inspired by Angie's thread about Bally wearable catwalk collection. What I loved about it is how it fitted with my FFBO of <b>turtleneck/sweater + ponte pencil skirt +&nbsp;</b><b>scarf (optional)</b><b>,</b> so I simply wanted to play with it more with two conditions: </p> <ol> <li>there must be <b><i>blue</i></b> element in the outfit (DS's favourite colour)</li> <li>to each new day I <b><i>carry over</i></b> at least&nbsp;one piece from the previous day</li> </ol> <p>I wanted to see if I'll get bored, saturated, inspired, or anything else. </p> <p><b><u>The conclusion<br /></u></b>I could go on forever. Even with the limited amount of clothes in rotation&nbsp;I felt great. All the outfits tick my most important boxes - colour and&nbsp;comfort, all are suitable for my lifestyle and&nbsp;I could easily use them as the&nbsp;basis for great travel capsule.</p> <p><b><u>Best moment of the week</u></b>&nbsp;<br />I wore pearls almost all the time&nbsp;and when I asked my son which one he liked the most, he replied:<br />"<i>2 million times one hundred percent I like them all the same</i>".&nbsp;<br />He's currently fascinated by the concept and meaning of 100% :-)</p> <p>Thanks for looking. Comments, suggestions and spanners most welcome.</p> </p>
