Oldies but Goodies Challenge - YouLookFab Forum

As I’m finishing up and thinking thru my Jan Challenge I’m thinking about what’s next. How about the the oldies but goodies (OBG) challenge

I think Katerina originally started this challenging back 4 years ago. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge

Then 2 years ago Runcarla challenged us to go even deeper and put together a week of wearing old pieces in new ways. https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-challenge

And now to keep the fashion juices going, I’m proposing we do it again. Can you put together 4-6 outfits with some of your older pieces worn in a new way? Or older pieces that you just haven’t worn in a while and want to rediscover?

Post as WIW OBG #x. You can do 1 outfit a week during February or try to stretch your self to work a lot older piece into 1 week. What’s older is up to you. Tell us how you’ve worn the item in the past, bonus points if you have a picture, and show us how you’ve reworked it. Or tell us why you stopped wearing the item and what made you want to wear it

Are you interested? I hope see. Looking forward to seeing what the challenge brings.

Ok, challenge excepted

Great idea!

I will join in a very specific manner, for my WFH outfits specifically, and post 1-2 of them per week in February, since I was already planning something similar. For WFH, I am doing variation of dressed-up loungewear, which includes a lot of knitted tops and toppers. I have quite a few of older ones, which I still like, and they are still in pretty good condition so difficult to edit them out. On the other hand, they are not supper current so I rarely wear them out of the house. Additionally, a lot of the knitted tops are now to fitted to wear on their own, but serve as great layering pieces. My solution is to incorporate them into WFH outfits, styled with more current bottoms, and try to get more wear out of each such piece within the next year or so, to eventually be able to edit them out without too much guilt.

Sounds like fun!

I can do some oldies at least once a week. The challenge will be in wearing them a new way. Why not try?

Runcarla

Sure! I identified some lesser worn items after crunching the numbers for 2022, and need to get them into rotation.

Ooh. I have just the thing in mind…. A (very) oldie with a new twist that I’ve been meaning to try.

Does it count if I already wore the outfit with the older piece?

I’ll watch from the sidelines. With the construction going on at our house, I’m dressing down and choosing my more indestructible clothes, or old stuff I don’t mind getting snagged or dirty.

I’m with Janet for similar reasons but would have joined in otherwise.l look forward to seeing the outfits!

I will inadvertently be joining you. My pant size has reverted to what I wore in 2017, prior to a lingering injury that seems to have finally resolved. (Knock on wood.). My jacket size has not budged, thanks to the shoulders built while swimming was the only cardio I could do. So I will be remixing the pants I had tucked away from 2015-2017 with current tops and jackets! Thankfully in 2015-2017 I had a mix of bootcut jeans and the then newly-trending wide leg pants that should still work. I have found some gaps, though, as 2017 me apparently only bought black and ink blue. Anyhow, I will start the remix, along with a few new pieces, and see where I end up.

Kind of feel like I do this all the time anyway? And that we’ve done this before- but then I see we have, 4 years then 2 years ago. Might or might not post. No promises
