This looks great!!! Excited for April!

I think those sound really fun. The pair up day is creative!

I'm going to make a point of participating again!

[bluesecrets]

This list makes me super happy for warm weather.

[aak0517]

Should we start a thread to begin pairing up since it's in a few weeks? So we can all start scheming our twin outfits? lol

We can do that! Or I like the surprise factor, too! Not revealing who your partner is until the day!
That's difficult though if you don't know who has your same piece, huh.

I kinda like the element of surprise now that you mention it!

Ok let's just PM other posters that we know have our same pieces and work it out behind the scenes.

[jm1211]

Yay this list looks awesome, I may have some shopping to do...lol
Super excited to pair up day!

[bimbi284]

I know there are people that have the same/similar items as me...but I can't remember who right now!!

This is exactly where I am at right now. 

[fashionx]

Love the list. I feel like I've got to post my closet now and see who's a match.

Or just everyone who has the UO cardi wear it that day... I'll have like 10 twins lol!

Sent from my Moto X using Proboards.

[aak0517]

I've got a few identical pieces as several other posters so I need to send some PMs and see who's willing to be my twinsie lol

[mrspost08]

Looks good!

[house]

Looks great carylee07! In addition we could do store specific outfits too! As in "Express yourself" = wear something from Express, "Go Bananas" = BR, "I'm so crewed" = J.Crew ..you get the idea.

[carylee07]

Thanks, @natariru !

Love that house ! Added it to the future list!

I edited my original post and the title of this thread to make it final!

[bimbi284]

Holy shit it's July already!

So carylee07 has asked @smorriso and I to take the lead on this for now, and we will likely be rotating so others can have a chance to come up with the challenge ideas too!

Love the titles. Very creative & clever!

[jm1211]

bimbi284 These look great! I'm excited to play and see what other do for some of these!

[gringachef]

Sounds like fun!

[callmehales]

love these!

[aak0517]

I like these! Great list!!!

[joanis018]

Do we have one for tomorrow @bimbi424

[house]

Are these listed for each Wednesday starting tomorrow? Or do I just pick one and go with it any day of the week?

[bimbi284]

Yup, its Red, white, and blue for tomorrow, and then maybe we should narrow some down so we've got Wednesdays covered at least through September? We usually have them planned out a few months, right?

I drafted the list so that it would be Red, Whites, and Blues for tomorrow. I think that carylee07 has to post the official goodness though.

OK - see how I edited the top post!
They're all in the order you originally listed them, the only thing I switched was Back to School - I switched that to the first Weds in september because it was falling in November. Otherwise, I think these are in good shape!

Perfect! Timing was totally off on the school one. Lol. Good catch.

Back to school was the only option that had me confused on how to dress for the challenge... I'm drawing a blank on how to translate it. Thoughts/ideas?

I was thinking prep school blazers, letterman influence, cardigans and brogues. Button ups under sweaters, etc.



This is huge:

Ah I like! And totally make sense! I get it now thanks for the pics!

Ideas for Memorial day? Plenty of time to plan!
