There's never a bad time to wear something daring. All the style rules -- like, less is more when it comes to jewelry, and wearing socks with open-toed shoes is a big no-no -- are so often overridden without a problem. After all, fashion is an industry that prides itself on creativity.
We partnered with Hewlett-Packard to bring you this week's Mashable Photo Challenge, themed around flexibility in fashion.
We asked our readers to photograph themselves wearing repurposed clothing items, unique or unexpected outfits, intentionally mismatching tops and bottoms and clashing but complementing colors.
Our favorite photos from the #HPBendTheRules and #StyleBend hashtags are featured below. Scroll through the list, and check out the other submissions here.
