Love the different looks!!!</p> <p>I've got a black dress I bought from Target a month or so ago that is summery and perfect for this. I'll wear it to work one day this week, then out for our Christmas drinks on Friday night (I hope that counts instead of date night). Stay tuned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109345 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:34:48 +0000 Michelle 109345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This must be karma; the much-discussed Maggy London black dress will be shipped to me on Monday, and as soon as I have it I'm diving in for this challenge (I know it may be a bit late, but this is *exactly* the kind of thing I want to figure out for this item assuming it fits)! Thanks for organizing as usual, hanna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109334 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:32:19 +0000 Angie 109334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like outfits posted on a new thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109269 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:30:14 +0000 Carole 109269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted pictures under a new thread darn it...I will copy here...</p> <p>This is the perfect challenge for me as I have this black wrap dress I love I bought 2 years ago for a wedding and haven't worn since then.

I also have a white button down type of shirt. I'll have to think about this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109174 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:59:54 +0000 Misia 109174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Working on it,I think I will be posting pictures tonight!Thanks Hanna and Maya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109121 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:29:57 +0000 Maya 109121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Hanna, I'm SO glad you're back. You're much better at organizing these things and coming up with ideas than I am!</p> <p>I'm not sure what to do. My closet is pretty wacky. I do not have a buttondown (mostly as they don't close over my ample bosom), nor do I have a black dress. I do have black slacks but I'm thinking of getting rid of them. They're not very "me." I think I may just have to sit this one out but I will enjoy seeing other people come up with ideas. Carissa will be taking care of my "button" down issues, but I REALLY need a black dress don't I. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109087 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 23:14:01 +0000 marianne 109087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! Thank you for the great challenge ideas, Hanna! Please count me in, I hope I can get some down time for pictures.

I'm placing my thinking cap on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-1-the-ylf-uniform-project#post-109017 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:41:11 +0000 hanna 109017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi guys! </p> <p>so interest has been expressed in some new YLF challenges to help spark some creative dressing. based on reactions, i'm posting two of the most popular suggestions today, and you can choose to participate in either, or both! </p> <p>your first challenge is our version of the uniform project -- <a href="http://www.theuniformproject.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theuniformproject.com/</a>. we all know the basic black dress comes in many incarnations, and most of us have some form of it. your challenge is to take that dress and come up with three different looks for it: 1. hanging out, 2. office style, and 3. date night. </p> <p>- you can use any type of black dress, as long as it is plain and a solid color.<br /> - if you do not have a black dress, i think it would be acceptable to use any dress that is a neutral (so navy, or brown, or tan...), as long as, again, it's plain and all a solid color.<br /> - for those who don't have a basic neutral dress to play with, i'd suggest an alternative "classic" item -- maybe the classic white button down? while many of us seem to own it, not many of us seem to like using it!<br /> - there is no limit to the number of other items of clothing/accessories you can add to create your three different looks.</p> <p>the idea of this is to give us all a database of looks to help us recycle a tired wardrobe mainstay. start posting your looks on this thread whenever you like! i can't wait to see what you come up with :).</p> <p>p.s. don't forget to check out challenge #2! </p>
