Everyone has knee jerk reactions to clothes. Aside from what you would wear, you need to figure out what looks good or bad on someone else and why. Otherwise you get what you see far too often on these other forums. Usually the person never gets over their knee jerk reactions or why they have them but their familiarity with the topic makes them think they've learned which in turn leads to design and tailoring attempts.

These attempts fail because having free fall creativity in the wrong places, for the wrong reasons without consideration produces abominations. Which is why a lot of the outfits posted have an emotional, Giant vibrator sink and thrift store look to them; the wearers go from unimaginative to believing style is freedom of imagination. Which leads to the pairing of the most discordant items often as long as they are color coordinated.

Interesting news item on tonight's news. A man's daughter managed to snort some cocaine and drive off in his porsche at high speed and die in a horrific crash.
It's not my place, or intent to comment on those facts.
But a California Highway Patrol employee decided to share the photos of the dead girl nearly decapitated after other's spared the grieving parent's having to identify her.
Nasty business, the photo is online, downloaded by millions and somebody sent it to the father.
They have a lawsuit in court, issues of privacy again debated vs free speech.

The simple fact, the internet has little or no accountability for what people do on it.

I keep hearing about Andy quoted in some publication, read these  constructs of how many angels in cruiser jeans can dance on the head of a pin dropped by Kabbatz ( at $1000 he actually uses each needle but once before shipping to Solingen for repointing on antique machines fortuitously missed by WW2 bombers) And SF machinations as clueless as Nazi racial profiling by head measurements. Real discussion about fine clothing has  devolved to a studied mediocrity ruled by Rudyard Kipling's Bandar Log monkeys.

I've heard the internet called a highway. Tonight I am beginning to believe we have contructed a massive sewer works. And these fools are lining up for their place like it's friday night at the smorgasborg, $5.99 all you can eat, soft drinks, wine and beer extra.
