I was indeed expecting to see some more red and also lavender/mauve, which were explicitly permitted. Those were the most versatile allowed colors

i now know i need a red striped shirt.

or, building off of what we just did, best non-standard colored suit. no blues or grays. dust off the leisure suits.

this would be good for winter i think. for sumer, id say no navy, but yes to other blues.

Honestly, crazy this, or crazy that, challenges seem a bit boring. If I was going to make a suggestion it would be to take these challenges in from the weeds, which they now seem to be lost in.

all you have to do is win, and then the challenges are at your command.

So, who's keeping the list? (No, definitely not me.)

Wow. Those challenges are awesome.

Wow. Those challenges are awesome.

I was just reading through a couple of those old threads; in the discussion of one of them NYI suggested a potentially fantastic theme:

"Fixed it" - take an outfit you've already posted in the WAYWRN at least the week before (to prevent "gaming" by posting a deliberately bad first outfit during the challenge week), and improve it for your entry, submitting the old outfit alongside the new. It would be a great learning opportunity for all of us, though it would limit entries to those already posting in WAYWRN. To broaden entries, one could do it as a "Thought Process" challenge, where you post what you were going to wear and also what you actually wore, describing why you changed/improved a detail. Voters can decide for themselves how to vote (i.e. purely on absolute success of outfit, or most improved, or a blend).

That's the best one I've read yet. That NYI... he may have a goofy beard. But he's a smart SOB.

YOU SHUT YOUR BEARD HATIN MOUTH RIGHT NOW!!

That's a great suggestion from NYI. Perhaps this week's winner will be inspired by it.
