You completely own your style - it suits your body and your personality, and has become an integral part of your life. I feel like a work in progress, constantly editing what doesn't feel like me anymore, and trying to find pieces that show the best possible me. I never thought about it before, but what you said about having to ask someone else if something suited you meant it wasn't right for you, and that is so true - thank you for reminding me about that.Forest City Fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04428940427287921203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-27713595260892412812014-09-28T16:42:30.038+01:002014-09-28T16:42:30.038+01:00That dotted blazer and plaid skirt is MAGIC!!! .....That dotted blazer and plaid skirt is MAGIC!!! ...and AMAZING pics, hello!

Unfortunately I do not have "the eye" and I am pretty sure I will never get it either.<br />But I do my best and listen to friends (and the shop assistent if she is good). And sometimes I even have great vintage finds. <br />I will have to buy retail as well with my limited styling skills, but I do know what suits me and what not. So if fashion wants me to wear something unsuitable I disregard it. <br />You however, have real style and the eye.

If I had the time an energy (and dosh) I'd probably get to the markets and vintage stores more often but I'm totally trying and replacing that with handmade instead!<br />And I am on the verge of a wardrobe clean out!

But what REALLY struck me was when you said if you had to ask others if something suited you, it was something to avoid. Too true! I don't make a lot of shopping mistakes, but almost every single time I've blown it, it has been because I let someone else influence me in whether or not to buy something.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Rosemary from <br />www.foreveronthecatwalkoflife.blogspot.comRosemary the Shopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316946282261305149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-43890594235313632442014-09-27T20:08:42.055+01:002014-09-27T20:08:42.055+01:00So good that you gave the post a secnond read.

Once you've mastered that it makes shopping much easier, as you just discount 90% of what's in the shop (whether high street or second hand). I remember when I shopped only high street feeling completely overwhelmed whenever I went into a shop, wondering 'is that me?' with every choice. I agree that second-hand gives you a built in homing sense! Have fun in the pub. I'm dying for a glass of wine and it's only twenty past two in the afternoon, do you think that's allowed?! xPorcelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202283149145094340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-76342387342898705792014-09-27T13:22:38.163+01:002014-09-27T13:22:38.163+01:00Proof that polka-dot and plaid is how to stand out...Proof that polka-dot and plaid is how to stand out in a crowd. I LOVE this outfit. This is the how-to of pattern mixing. <br /><br />I agree that visiting thrift shops really does focus you in on your own personal style. Once you've had a few good scores at a thrift shop it makes you think retail is for sissies. <br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.com
