good post Lel, covers much relevant ground. Im rather honored to be used as an example
+1, me too. my theory: I think the whole "clothes scene" (if I dare call it that) is like a music tribe. At some point everyone is green, then they learn a few things and it's all very exciting (which turns some into know it alls), once that luster has passed is where the real fork in the road occurs: -person 1: looks back (at shock and horror) of how much he's spent on clothes the past 2 years and decides it's all too much for him and gets disinterested in clothes. but he still has some nice stuff and will only occasionally buy, perhaps at a 50% sale. Deep down he still has that SF foundation where he knows what looks good etc but it's become a distant footprint in his memory -person 2: really gets hardcore into "clothes". spends nearly all his disposable income on it, and it will probably branch to other related areas of his life like furniture, art, etc. Maybe never really finds a consistent style and will always represent what current designers/brands have to offer rather than searching for a specific look/item. This person is dressed by whatever look is current. -person 3: finds his own "style" and will seek out specific items that relate to it, regardless of brand/designer. Like person 2, his interest in this precise aesthetic will branch out as a lifestyle choice in furniture, art, etc. I'm sure there is a person 4, just not sure who he is. Most will probably become #1 or 3, tho most probably are at #2 until they get to #1 or 3
