Yup. Part of that, I think, is that there's really only being a handful of SW&D regulars who have a strong enough sense of personal style / creativity that they don't subconciously rely on the latest SW&D-adored item or look to influence their purchases. The result is a lot of people with the same or similar items in their closet. It doesn't mean these items are all bad - a lot of them are obviously not - but they do risk backlash after a while, because really, how many times can you see pictures of or read questions about GATs before you throw your hands up?
As you've probably noticed, I'm more interested in things that look good and boring, than things that look innovative and edgy without looking that great. I do appreciate that people get bored with the former and like to see edgy outfits in the thread. It's natural.
