 {dress up contest}

okay. so you probably thought i forgot about this!!
of course not! cough.cough.
and if you're going.. forgot what?
well, see, that's why we get along so well~
i forget and you don't remember that i did!! 

like that little saying goes,
"we'll be friends till we're old and senile.. then we'll be new friends!"

so let me refresh all of our memories here-
there was this post, from a few months ago, where i kinda randomly thought up having a contest from this site.
the rules were simple...
 
you put an outfit together.
submit to me.
i put it up here.
everyone votes on their favorite.

easy! though not really, with trying to get all the right links to work, etc.
obviously someone didn't think that all the way through! which really, is so not like me! ;)

but it was a lot of fun seeing what all came in!
i love seeing how others put art together,
and to me, fashion IS art!

so, take your time and scroll through..
then choose the one you like best and vote for it in the comments~
also. feel free to discuss the outfits too. i like that part as well.
for example, i want that girls hair in #26.
and i really like the idea of shorts with heels and a fancy top,
but not so sure i'd pull it off. or comfortable to do so..
like there are certain looks certain people can just do {think lady gaga}, but maybe not for everyone!

we'll keep the contest open until friday noon. then i'll tally up the votes and let ya know!
the winner will receive a 35$ dollar gift card to their choice of marshall's. h&m. or old navy~

thanks to everyone who submitted outfits..
they were coming from all directions it seemed and so if i missed getting yours in
please let me know asap and i'll stick it in the mix, k.

an interesting side note..
alot of the participants named their outfits something to do with date night.
made me wonder if that's because it's maybe the only time alot of us really put much thought into what we look like?

which i think is awesome we want to especially do that for our man!!
gotta remind him what we look like outside of those sweat pants every now and then. ;)

so here we go~ our first ever very unofficial official grace.to.be dress up contest 2012
now go forth and vote my friends!!!

I like #3- Comfy and Chic. So me!!! (sans the Chic part! Ha! )

I really like the unicycle bag- I think it was in #4? And the cutesy skirt in #14 was too cute!! :)

I could totally use the award money for the contest. So....GO ME! Ha! :)

Maybe I will be the first to vote!  This was SO fun!  I would definitely vote for #27 as my first pick. Love, love that outfit. Love the boots. Love the belt. Love the jewelry!!


And then I also really like #3 (I don't know if we are supposed to vote for more than one, but this is just commentary on a few others) and then I love the clothing in #16, but I just don't wear the color yellow.  So if the color would be changed, I would totally wear that!  I also really like the classic-ness of #6, but I would wear it with a knee length black skirt instead of a long skirt. 


Some of them were not my style, because I am not a ruffly or vintage-y sort of girl. But I know a lot of people are. I agree that fashion is a form of art.

@appalolly - i'm with you on yellow. shayne will say he likes it on me when i wear it - but i only like bright yellow, and in the summer w/ a tan! :) 27 totally looks like something you'd pull from your closet!

@MommytoBrooke - yes! those SHOES!! :)

A guys perspective... 3! But I'd put the shoes from 27 with it, if they were in a lighter shade ;)

Okay... first of all. The outfits I LoVe and the outfits I could actually wear are in two totally different galaxies. But one can dream, right? SECOND... I love number 20, but if it is "casual" date night... boy, am I in trouble. I think our date would include a trip to the ER with those heels because I am a klutz! My FAV is #20... it looks comfy and would totally suit my everyday life style AND I love that it includes going somewhere important.

P.S. I do love #21 because it includes a Starbucks and that is usually a part of my outfit

Love all the creativity, Amber! Miss ya... Jode

This is too hard!! Really having a tough time narrowing it down to just one. I feel like I could almost guess who put together some of these outfits :)

Alright. I'm voting for #20, darling outfit! Love the ruffle coat paired with the Captain America tee, classic and whimsical.

Honorable mentions: #27 was a close second, the dress in #19 is perfect, really liked #28 too, loved the top in #7.

Totally fun Amber!

I vote for 27 with 14 second place - I don't wear yellow, but 27's outfit looks well put-together. I would wear the outfit in 14, maybe with a scarf though - I like the purple color in 10, the dress in 4 looks comfy and I do really like that blue n green in 22 - I've been wearing grass green and royal, bright blue colors lately - maybe not very Fallish, but I don't care ;) I can't wear heels without getting a headache and my back hurting for days after, I can't every decide on jewelry, so I don't bother ;) Anymore, it seems there isn't much rhyme or reason to putting outfits together except whatever you like and I think that makes it fun and so interesting!

Ever since you introduced me to polyvore, I've been slightly addicted. Actually taking a break from it this week - hope this doesn't count as cheating! =) I recognized the skirt on #14 and the jacket on #27. I have both of those in my sets. #14 is definitely the most "me". This was fun!

To many good ones to decide. I like 25 alot and 26, and also 28. But I keep coming back to 20 so my vote stops there!

I want some of these for work!!! We don't have to be super business proffessional but we can't be too casual. Some of these are JUST right!
The ones that really caught my eye: 1, 3 (LOVE the shoes!!!), 11, 12 ( if only I had enough time and will power to try stuff like that with my hair), 14, 16 (tho Id never pull off that shade of yellow), 17, 21, 22, 25 and 27.

GREAT POST!!!

Overall... my favorite is... um... but if I had to pick just one.... #1. I LOVE everything in there and the whole look of the outfit!
