And no problem to combine Sona's dress challenge too--dresses and scarves sound fun! Also, no deadline so if you want to do dresses this week and scarves next week or vice versa--feel free to post whenever you want! Should be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836818 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:50:40 +0000 Charmian 836818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I like this idea. I've been trying to dress extremely casually (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dress-casually-at-work-an-example">background here</a>), and this sounds like a great outlet for my creativity while still keeping with the current goal of casualness.</p> <p>When are we starting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836814 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 02:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 836814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, Sona is suggesting a dress challenge too. I would be really fun to do a mesh of the two, what do you think? Should we start Monday? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836450 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:11:08 +0000 Sylvie 836450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear scarves all the time... but maybe I could join in on the necklace challenge (or rather, at least challenge myself to switch my earrings/necklace daily) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836448 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:09:37 +0000 goldenpig 836448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I am looking forward to seeing everyone's scarf outfits! </p> <p>Hey Suz, Zap and others who wear scarves all the time and don't plan to do the scarf challenge--perhaps you could still post your favorite scarf WIW's from the past to serve as inspiration for us scarf newbies? I want to learn from the scarf pros!</p> <p>Niefern, great scarf WIW! Kristin, using a scarf as a belt or headband sounds like a great option! And Rae, I'm sure you can find multiple creative ways to wear one scarf if you don't own that many.</p> <p>Belts, necklaces and cardigans all sound like a great alternative challenges! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836409 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:37:11 +0000 Kristin L 836409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll join you. Just one question. Does the scarf have to be worn around my neck? I thin this could be a fun way to try to use them as different things, like a belt or a headband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836398 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:27:33 +0000 Diana 836398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I have no problem wearing my scarves but I would be up for a cardigan challenge. They are getting neglected this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836383 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:13:05 +0000 Day Vies 836383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not struggle to wear scarves at all. It is freezing here but it would be fun to see if I could work some into my dressier outfits with out loosing the polish or the line of the outfits. I'm in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836357 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:49:37 +0000 rae 836357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have that many scarves, but if it is cool enough I could give this a go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836354 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:46:20 +0000 Astrid 836354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a cardigan challenge! I only own three, but I'm not very creative with wearing them. I think I'm going to try to find some new ways to wear my lesser worn scarves too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836317 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:29:30 +0000 Amy 836317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been wearing my scarves as much this year, but would join in.</p> <p>I also think a cardigan challenge would be fun/instructive. So many of us seem to be struggling with how to make them work lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836199 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:04:35 +0000 Mona 836199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love scarves and would love to join this challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836195 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:00:04 +0000 amiable 836195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I'll join! I have lots of scarves, some of which I find hard to style. I'm also trying to do Imogen's FABuary style challenge for this month, and will be posting my "arm candy" outfit this evening when I get home.</p> <p><a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2013/01/take-the-fabruary-style-challenge.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......lenge.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836193 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:58:55 +0000 K. Period. 836193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll definitely join you! I think the challenge should have a twist for regular scarf wearers, though. That is, you can't wear your favorite long rectangular scarves. Those have been a winter and wardrobe staple for lots of us for so long that it isn't all that challenging. But...wearing a rectangular or square silk scarf, now that will be work. I'm trying to figure out more ways to wear the latter, so I would love to bump up the challenge that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836191 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:56:16 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 836191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear scarves a lot in the winter. Maybe I'll try to use my statement necklaces, as least for the 3 days I'll be working next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836098 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:06:04 +0000 Sarah A 836098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I havent been wearing my scarves as much as i'd like lately. I join you for a day or two as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836092 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:57:08 +0000 Suz 836092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh. For me the challenge would be NOT to wear a scarf. Like Angie, I am feeling a little less enamoured of them for my style, but I wear them every day anyway because it is cold on my neck! Plus, I find they help to integrate my outfits and bookend when I wear darker footwear, etc. Hmmm. I am not quite ready to do the no scarf challenge. But I will happily watch you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-836001 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:05:01 +0000 Anonymous 836001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do wear scarfs everyday because it is COLDIE COLD here but... Could I trade in for belts? I have at least a good 20 to 30 belts that NEVER get worn. I could use some enthusiasm. I'm in with belt week for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835974 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:44:27 +0000 poppylarue 835974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love scarves it is my to go to piece this time of year so I will definitely be in on this one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835961 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:36:08 +0000 Sara L. 835961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear scarves fairly often but I'll join you for one or two days next week. I have some underutilized scarves that it would be fun to challenge myself to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835871 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:01:16 +0000 Niefern 835871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the second year I have been wearing scarves, and I do it very often, almost everyday actually. I find they can 'up' any simple, ordinary outfit and make things more interesting. While at the same time, I find they are very easy to wear and practical. This was my first (and only, so far) WIW, with a scarf: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-27" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-today-27</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835802 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:14:02 +0000 Astrid 835802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't struggle to wear scarves in general, so I'm not sure this would be the right challenge for me. Although I'm not sure what else I could try to make work either. Maybe I could build outfits around the scarves I don't use that often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835801 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:09:27 +0000 Anonymous 835801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to give it a go Natalie. I only have about four nice scarves, One is a recent purchase and hasn't been worn yet so I'll see what I can come up with styling wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-idea-scarf-week-or-any-other-underused-accessory#post-835746 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:18:44 +0000 goldenpig 835746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I had an idea for a YLF challenge...scarf week! Anyone want to join me? I have a whole collection of scarves that I rarely wear--I tend to reach for necklaces much more often. Scarves tend to be challenging for me to style because 1) I don't really know how to tie them 2) they seem kind of fussy to wear inside 3) I already have so many patterned clothes that it's difficult for me to incorporate them into my outfits. But I wanted to challenge myself to learn to incorporate the scarves that I already have into my style. So next week I'm going to push myself out of my comfort zone and wear a different scarf each day and try to use a different method of tying each day (here is an amazing video tutorial on scarf tying that I need to study carefully: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU</a>)</p> <p>Feel free to contribute your own scarf outfits--just one or two or a whole week (I certainly could use the inspiration!), or if you want more of a challenge and scarves are a breeze for you, then pick another category of accessories that you have but rarely wear...hats? Statement necklaces?</p> <p>Here are some of the scarves I'm considering using next week:<br /> 1. Emilio Pucci turquoise print from Loehmann's<br /> 2. Blue pleated scarf from White House Black Market<br /> 3. Cheetah print scarf from Target<br /> 4. Floral scarf from Kate Spade<br /> 5. Cat scarf from Jason Wu for Target</p> <p>What do you think? Anyone care to join me? Or advice/suggestions for me for about wearing scarves if you are already a pro at them? </p>
