Thanks for all the great suggestions! Keep posting under comments. I will use further suggestions for future weeks.
I have listed the suggestions, and have included a poll (see left) so you can vote for what I should wear in week one (wow – it starts next week). Check out the suggestions page to see more suggestions as they come in.
Here are my fave suggestions (updated with the results of the first week's poll)
- A different colour each day of the week - 2 votes
- All black (Italian Nonna) - 0 votes
- All green (a week 1 suggestion in the lead up to St Pat’s day) - 4 votes
- An era a day (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, noughties, now) - 4 votes
- Bogan (Shazza from Queanbeyan / Cath n Kim) - 2 votes
- Country Alex - 1 vote
- Cross-dressing (masculine chic) - 4 votes
- Fashion faux-pas (blue and green, spots and stripes, socks and sandals) - 3 votes
- Film looks (looks inspired by films, eg Matrix, Atonement, Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz) - 2 votes
- Goth / Emo / Punk - 2 votes
- Hipster - 2 votes
- Nerd (‘Urkle’ / Unix Nerd) - 2 votes
- Pop stars (looks inspired by pop stars, eg Gaga, Spice Girls, Madge) - 0 votes
- Shabby chic (boho, op-shop) - 2 votes
Some other great suggestions that I wont be supporting include:
- Victorian Era – My wardrobe doesn’t really support this...
- Wizard of Oz – Dorothy only wears one outfit thru the whole movie, and I’m not dressing as a munchkin, witch, lion, scarecrow or tin man. I can incorporate this suggestion into the ‘Film looks’ suggestion.
- Red carpet – I don’t mind glamming it up for a ball or charity event every now and then, but it would take hours to get dressed and I have a hard enough time getting to work before mid day as it is.
- Feral pest – again, I don’t really have the wardrobe to support this (although I do have a very wrong fox-fur stole and a rabbit-fur-edged scarf)
- Dame Edna, or Gaga meets Camilla Parker Bowles – I have only 2 pairs of reading glasses and neither are really conducive to doing the Dame justice. I’m afraid I don’t have the way-out accessories to be able to rival Lady Gaga either. Perhaps I'd make it for a day under the ‘Pop stars’ category, but that would probably be it.
How about girly-girl, sporty gym-junkie or roller-derby skater girl? I just know you'd love to wear your new skates everywhere. Dang!
ReplyDeleteIf you do a different colour each day, then you can incorporate the green theme for St Patrick's Day on St Patrick's Day! And have a Rainbow week! It kills like half the birds!
ReplyDeleteOn an almost related note, do you associate days of the week with colours? St Pats day is on a Thursday, which feels like it should be a yellow day. And yellow is associated with thinking, but who thinks on Thursdays?

No wonder you're swanning into work at 10am - takes a long time to look as fabulous as u do! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLoving the masculine chic! So not too much of a challenge so far for you Alex. The roller derby pics are fab too!
ReplyDeleteAnother suggestion (if it's not too late): "dressing blind". You have to get dressed in the dark every day - or at least choose your clothes in the dark. No lights, might have to do it the night before if you get up late, stick your hand in your wardrobe/drawer/shelf and whatever you pull out is what you wear!
Tactile fashion. fluffy, silky. boggly, hairy, could be fun.
ReplyDeleteooh yea i like the idea of tactile fashion - give that a try!
ReplyDeleteFashion faux-pas!! But on you it would look couture! ;) meow
