This whole recent hissy fit with SWD approved uniforms and brands in WAYWT has led me to observe something:
No one reads the threads before they post. My approach to any new community is generally understanding the ebb and flow of the discussions and approaches before trying to insert my own influences or ideas. Isn't that how people make friends?
You don't go up to a group of people and say "Hey! I like what you're doing, but it's emo and shit, so I'm gonna show you the right way to do it!". No, didn't think so. Usually you understand everyone's general opinions and how the community works and then evaluate yourself and have your hand at learning from them or trying out new things and if it works out, great! If not, well there's many different communities out there, not to say you should give up so easily.
It doesn't even take much to know that there isn't really an accepted uniform of brands or silhouettes. Most of the time, if the same thing keeps appearing, it won't get much love since it's kinda boring to sit and watch the same episode over and over without any character development. Just read a couple pages before the recent one and you get an idea, it's that simple.
That said, there are some things are are consistently worth keeping in check:
-fit including silhouette
-color including shade and texture
That's it, brain-dead simple. Hope you have an eye for what is aesthetically pleasing or interesting.
Anyway, my tastes are somewhat 'in line' with SZ, but I come here because of the variety and the community and love it.
