That said, I thin...<b>Kingshearte</b>: I hope you do join! That said, I think maybe I must not have communicated the idea behind this well. It's a challenge in that you make things for yourself, rather than you make things for yourself that are outside of your style. Going outside of your style is actually the *opposite* of what I want the spirit of this challenge to be! It's simply for people to recognize what their style is/what they're comfortable with (which you clearly know about yourself) so that when they make their wardrobe choices, they're making choices that suit what they'll *actually* wear. <br />Part of my (and likely) other maker's problems is that we'll see things that catch our eye, make them, and then never end up wearing them because we've picked something that is, for whatever reason, outside our style.<br /><br />So, those resources we've suggested there are mostly for people who don't really know what their style/comfort zone is. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing your fantastic pieces!!!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099840174793186789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-24961336819319303102015-07-10T06:56:54.529-04:002015-07-10T06:56:54.529-04:00I find this fascinating, and I'm super looking...I find this fascinating, and I'm super looking forward to the process, but there's one thing I always find a bit weird about wardrobe makeovers: In my case, for example, I definitely fall under that solid-top-neutral-bottom boring category. Unquestionably. That basically describes what I wear every single day. And while I'm glad it's not suggesting that I should start trying to dress like, well, you* (because while that would be fabulous, it would also be such a radical shift that people would probably suspect that I was my heretofore unknown evil twin, plus, if I were inclined to dress that way, I would not be dressing the way I do), even their colour suggestions seem a bit... unrealistic to me. I have a well-documented blue problem. But advising me to mix it up by making an orange sweater? Let's be realistic: I'm *never* going to wear an orange sweater. Or head accessory, or scarf, or jewellery.<br /><br />All that said, like I said, I'm still really excited to try this and see what happens...<br /><br />* Just to be clear: I'm pointing out the significant difference between the way you dress and the way I dress, not suggesting in any way that there's anything wrong about the way you dress. I love how distinct your style is, and how well it works for you.kingsheartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985888492529141929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26803835.post-60357672914284022622015-07-09T11:55:06.774-04:002015-07-09T11:55:06.774-04:00Hi Meredith MC!

I love it so much that I've been going to extra PiYo classes to show it off ( if only to myself).Meredith MCnoreply@blogger.com
