Fall Challenge Motivational Idea

Since so many of us are determined to stick with this fall challenge, I came up with a good motivational idea. Why don't we all go to our closets and pick out an outfit that is a size or so smaller than we currently are? I'm sure that the majority of us has plenty of clothes in varying sizes, so this shouldn't be too hard. We can hang the outfit up whereever works for us, and then randomly try it on and keep everyone updated as to our progress. This worked for me with a dress that I wanted to wear in July, and I felt so awesome when it fit (Neil's reaction didn't hurt either.)

Ok, I already have the outfit picked out. My outfit is:
Top:a very fitted sweater that is dark green and olive green with a khaki stripe and a red stripe across the chest. I haven't been able to wear it for almost two years, but I felt so great when I wore it because it is an X-Large from the juniors section at JC Penneys, and my "skinny" friend only wore one size smaller than me in the exact same sweater.
Bottoms: Dark denim knee length skirt that is not stretcy.
Shoes: brown knee length boots.

What's everyone else's outfit?

A terrific idea!!

I picked up a light blue suit. But just in case i can't fit perfectly into the pants, I also picked up a dark blue jeans. Would love to fit in those!!

Yes, I will join the challenge! I will try to find something tonight that is a size smaller. My problem is every 6 months I go through my closet...if it doesn't fit right now, haven't worn it in a year, or is worn out I give it away or donate it.

I'm sure I have to have something in there, lol.
