Miharayasuhiro actually. It's so well-constructed that you can close it with one button and there is almost no tension on it. I wish I could have done it better justice but I didn't have much time to fool around with it.

voted for myself and for Parker. I was not expecting to win this challenge but I'm surprised Parker isn't getting more votes.

i went with c4est on this one. ghostface's fit is absolutely stunning, but everything works together so beautifully that i can't think of it as loud or gaudy

if only I had voted for myself and not for ghostface we would be tied right now!

feeling pretty special because of that

feeling pretty stoopid because of that

fyp. challenges are no place for kindness!!

 

[Caveat]

Tell me about it. If I had voted for myself instead of Ghostface I wouldn't be in last place.

Look, don't get me wrong, I really like Ghostface's fit. I, however, just don't think it's very loud or gaudy. On that basis alone, I didn't vote for it (though I would certainly thumb it in WAYWT), but don't believe it merits victory in this particular challenge.

 

[penanceroyaltea]

Ghost face always kills it. That bag is crazy. I voted for c4est though. He's the only one that could make a fit like that look so effortless.

 

[diniro]

I also give slight edge to c4est within context of this thread. If he threw in his latest in WAYWT I think he would have taken it.

@ghostface takes down another challenge. congrats dude! time to brainstorm for the next challenge.

 

[in stitches]

l'chaim to ghostface killah!

 

[ghostface]

a neck-and-neck finish! respectful disagreement! men with colorful scarves on their heads!

this was another very solid challenge. though i do hope that even more people will continue to participate in the future. each time i've put together a fit for one of these, i've learned something by experimenting in a way i probably wouldn't have otherwise.

most importantly-- i think the combo of c4est's fit here plus his fuzzy color-block pants fit prove that he is the true king of the loud and gaudy.

@conceptual 4est-- will you do us the honor of choosing the next challenge?

 

[conceptual 4est]

Thanks guys.

I want to say a vote is a vote, so ghostface most definitely wins this one!

That said, I'd be happy to choose and organize the next challenge to give him a little break.

So far, my ideas are:


CozyBoyz: To take the edge off the militarism, loudness, gaudiness that we've had, and in honor of the weather the Northeast has been having, I want to see people put together the comfiest, coziest, puffiest most down filled, wool sweatpanted(?), blanket wearing outfit you can think of. I want to see snuggies and I want to see slippers. But it has to be something you would wear outside for the day!


Black and Blue: Like CozyBoyz, this came to mind when wearing the above linked extremely cozy outfit, and it is exactly what it sounds like. Wear black and navy blue. Do it in a sleek lanvin way with blue wool and black grosgrain, or channel a police officer with blue shirt and pants and black boots. Doesn't matter to me but just make this combination look good.

i'm torn--i think people will do cozyboyz better but i wanna do black and blue myself
