Sure, if that's what the outfit is. But the truth is, that line of argument is often either a red herring or a strawman, take your pick. The matter at hand here has been represented, on several occasions, as 'throwing random things together'. There is nothing in the least that is 'random' about this, or 'anything goes':I think that this veers too far into the “anything goes” realm where any outfit looks good. I will say that one thing I appreciated about the older SF is that members were more willing to call out bad outfits. Right now it feels like many bad outfits are being posted and getting likes, and there is too little critical discussion of why a particular fit works or doesn’t work.
For all the talk about dress as 'language', we should have more fidelity to what words actually mean. (Those shoes above were not picked by walking into the closet blindfolded.) And our ears should be better trained to recognize nuance in communication.
