Paper Doll Project

PaperDollLogoDo you want to participate in the Paper Doll Project?
Do you want another style blogger to style you for a day? Do you want to style someone else? Welcome to the Paper Doll Project where you get connected with another blogger and “dress” each other for a day.

This experiment started from a random twitter conversation. Now, it’s open to anyone that wants to join in the fun!

Here’s how it will work:
Give me your name, blog address and email address. You choose the item of clothing you want your outfit styled around. It could be a scarf, shoes, dress, earrings, whatever! I will randomly pair you up with another blogger and the two of you will style each other for a day. Then, everyone participating in the project will post their photos/outfits on the same day. It’s like one giant style party for everyone!

Please fill out this form to participate in te Thursday, September 22 Paper Doll Project.

Signup closed on Friday, September 16.

Notification will NOT be sent until after the 16th. If you want to make sure you’re on the list, tweet me at @redheaded and I can verify for you. I will send out an HTML document of all the participants prior to the day so you guys can also promote the other pairings.

Follow along on twitter with the hastag #paperdollproject!

The list of matches will be emailed out as soon as I can put it together (depends on the number of participants), which gives everyone at least one week to style, be styled and take photos.

Please post the widget on your blog to spread the word!

PS- I’ve had a few questions about how exactly the styling process will work, since we don’t know what each others owns. My idea was to go through your partner’s archives to see what else they’ve worn and presumably still own, then work with them to put together your look. If they don’t have extensive archives, you may have to suggest items to them to see if they own it or something similar.

    • I’m sure we’ll do it again! Everyone had a month to sign up, with the cut off date announced at that time, and I STILL had people wanting to jump in.
      We’ll post it on blogs, twitter and facebook to promote, so just keep an eye out!

  8. This was so fun! I just have to remember to charge my camera next time so I can post on the same day as everyone else.

    Oh and btw, I think my link is messed up. Oh well, my fault for not checking until now.

  13. I’m new to this project, I’ve never done anything like this before. Do I sound nervous? I’m not really, I’m hoping to get some wild, brave chicky to give me a good going over:)))

    • The Paper Doll Project is held every other month, so the next will be in September. I usually put up the signup option a few weeks before, so be on the lookout for it later in August.
