Rand's Challenge Assessment: (this convo took place on Thursday night).
I'm doing a week without belts. Fist pump from Rand. "I'm glad you finally listened to me."
About what? "About belts making you look like a barrel."
stunned slience from me "You know, because the belt makes a horizontal band around your middle just like the bands on a barrel."
uh.... "And you know how horizontal stripes are bad.."
Wait, are you saying that belts make me look fat?? "uh..."
I think we should end this conversation before you make me self concious about belt, which I love and I think look really good on me. "Okay."
So as you can see, Rand really approved of this challenge. LOL

Now here are my assessments:
- I tucked my shirts into my skirts, which I don't normally do
- i selected layering items that buttoned at the waist or in some other way cinched in my waist
- not wearing belts can be a lot more comfortable
- I missed my belts, but maybe I can cut down on them some
