Some really good entries. I picked the wrong week to enter for the first time.

Thanks @upr_crust for the great challenge: so many awesome outfits this week.
I gave votes to @jcmeyer and @Claghorn (very sharp, although I think the picture from previous week was even better).

Merci, SYCSYC. It certainly engendered a lot of different entries - everyone has their own take on color. Best of luck to all the participants!

Since it is never too early to discuss next week's challenge, may I suggest a Composition Challenge, wherein we are not allowed to enter fit pics, but must, in some way, just show the clothing we are going to be wearing (focusing on the combination).

e.g.

I do that kind of thing from time to time on Instagram. Gives you a chance to show textures up close with the entire fit in one frame, plus how you arrange the objects is a different artistic challenge than wearing them. You do lose the personal connection to the clothing, so although it might get some new/more people to enter it would likely be a bit less exciting to watch. My $.02. Certainly not a bad idea and there are lots of fridays.

I'd like to see "your best tie/PS combinations" (more for my own education), although, like this challenge, we probably wouldn't get anything truly out-of-the-box.

I didn't think yours was bad at all. Perhaps some better pictures would have garnered a few more votes, but there is never a wrong time to enter!


That's one of the main reasons I never enter these things. I don't have a good way to go about taking good photos most of the time. These days when I'm wearing something that I could enter, I am traveling.

Lots of good stuff here, but I must admit that, given the Challenge Master’s mention of Easter as a motivating factor, I had been expecting a bit more Easter-Parade-level peacocking than ultimately emerged, but that’s just the connotation the word has for me personally.

I did, however, cast my vote to reward what I saw as Easterly tasteful flamboyance.

Cheers,

Ac

I also took it that way, and voted that way. I hope I achieved "tasteful!"
