Man, you girls are crazy. Whatever happened to having fun with what you're wearing instead of being so concerned with real and internet people's opinions, whether you follow rules, or if "fashion snobs" (whoever said that needs a reality check though) will like your ****. I also agree with ftb or socal whoever said it'd be nice to see what people wear most of the time instead of their dressup stuff. I don't know about some of you, but i don't play dress up for the internet. What i post, i wear to bars, classes, teaching, parties, etc... Also, i get bored dressing the same way every day. I don't know how some people do it.


fade- if you're ever looking to get rid of some looser stuff, holla at me. You're taller than me so we may be similar sizes

I doubt there is anyone (at least blatantly that I can think of) that "dresses up for WAYWT"....most of the looks here are banal enough to prove that most do indeed post what they are wearing on a daily basis.

after all, do you think there is someone that posts fits here and then changes into something else for the rest of his day??

Surely we're forgetting that at the end of the day, they're just clothes?

On Kunks note:
A normal daily fit.

Black slim hoodie,
Burgandy v-neck T,
Indigo jeans,
Calvins, (not viewable

)
Chucks.

Like the color on the T, where's it from?

I suppose not here, but there are other sites i sometimes wonder. I guess it's sometimes hard to get a clue into someone's style when you see a fit from them once every month or so.

+ at least 1. Word. For this very reason I sought refuge the other day in the Omiru site. It restored some balance.

Shows that lighting is an issue... the outfit is grey, as the detail shot shows.

Yet there were comments about that outfit being on par with early 90s, tagutcow steez. I can assure you anyone who has extensive experience immersed in the world of high fashion can pretty damn quickly differentiate an outfit like SoCal's and someone like tagutcow.

Please to introduce me to all these people who are "like tagutcow".

How did I get caught up in this? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt about what exactly you meant by that statement, but a person needn't be immersed in high fashion to any degree to understand there's more differentiating SoCal's fits from my own than some ineffable aesthetic sense.

Hey, I'll even stand behind my last handful of WAYWTs, but I'm not going to pretend that I wouldn't have done anything differently if I had the means to do so. It also goes back to SoCal's statement about dressing situationally; my big social event of the week is playing pool at Thirsty Thursdays, so I'm arguably overdressing even for that occasion.

I'm here, mostly minding house. The Spam is crazy these days. Actually, I even have a couple of fits I have taken pics of, and will post at some point (i.e. when I can delazify myself.) Might even take one on what I have on today, which I think is decent:

A dark grey Forniture Civili military sweater, dark blue Nice Collective "sportsjacket", ragged edged olive/grey Wings+Horns scarf with tassel, Nice Collective Olive belt, also with a tassle, brand new, and pretty darn slim 5EPxSF's, and midtop grey Common Projects. So... I think that the silhouette is solid today, and the belt and scarf give some coherence and complementary color, and the shoes, a constrast color. Pretty typical outfit, and pretty typical style - slim silhouette (except for bottoms, which vary), off primary colors, layering, and at least onebit of color contrast. My in-laws are coming to visit, but I'll see if I can't get a photo in before that.

Really though, I like to see stuff I myself would not wear. I mean, if I just saw clones of myself all day, I'd die of boredom. The thing I like most about working as a personal stylist was being able to step out of my comfort zone into someone elses.

True. The thing that's interesting about this thread is I can pick up ideas or pass on those things that I think wouldn't work for me. In any case, it is pretty fascinating to look at what others (all with a lot more imagination and panache than I have) are putting together.

Its a Burton basic T . One of these. For my part, I only generally post something that I think is worth posting, mostly what I'm wearing out at nights, or to university when I feel like making an effort, rather than just throwing on a hoodie.
