Bright colors. Crazy patterns. Just one item in the outfit would qualify. Or you can go ahead go nuts go apeshit, as long as you make that **** look good. This challenge could be our version of CM's WAYWRN - PEACOCK EDITION. Kind of inspired by Raf FW14 and Yohji FW14. Ends 2 Sundays from now (02-01-14) at midnight central time. Feel free to post inspiration pictures. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool challenge, but it's another one that definitely favors posters with extensive and varied wardrobes (looking at you diniro :foo: )

nah I'm sitting out this one. And I think the challenge is open enough to include a lot of people. It encompasses both the "graphic" challenge by Parker and "blue & green" by BreezyBirch for example.

i think it's spelled "gaudy". once a copy editor .... unless you're talking about the announcer (who was loud), but was named Gowdy.

I think any challenge is going to favor those posters, but that's part of the fun of it - seeing how the best dressers in this forum use their creativity to style their clothes. I really enjoy these, even though I don't participate (which has more to do with me not having a decent camera or place to take photos than anything.) Maybe I'll try and participate this time.
