As Captain of Team RATE, I call upon Team RATE and Team Polished to take on the challenge of dressing for the other team for a day. Of course, if you have an utterly cohesive wardrobe true to your style, you won't be able to pull out the elements - evidently that's the case with me. But I'm going to give it another try! I'm going to start a separate thread on Elements of RATE to give people a fighting chance, and whomever is in charge of Team Polished is encouraged to do the same.

ETA: For extra credit, when you post your outfit(s), explain why you feel your outfit meets the criteria of RATE/Polished.

I think this will be a good exercise actually - like challenging the half of my brain (or more!) that I don't normally use.

Let the wild rumpus start!
