I am one of those girls who knows how to buy something beautiful/stylish but then doesn't know what to match it with. So yes in a way I am a fashionably challenged. When I found your website I looked at my closet with different eyes. Right then I created some new outfits and wrote down some pieces that I need to buy to complete few other outfits. You are such an inspiration, now when I shop it's like what would J wear? :) I believe there's nothing wrong with copying as long as you dress body type and age appropriate.JsEverydayFashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00755203540785463869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052955337499363741.post-83566056158606832102012-10-10T06:41:54.213-04:002012-10-10T06:41:54.213-04:00You know, I think you can be stylish even if you r...You know, I think you can be stylish even if you recreate an outfit. Here is the reason why: a friend once told me that pretty much everything already exists out there, i.e. if you try to make a new outfit, somebody might have done the same thing before in a different part of the world... BUT! where you can be stylish is, you don't copy every single thing, you copy only what appeals to you and shows your personality and sense of style. The way you pick and choose from inspiration pictures will turn into your own style. That means that you can still be stylish even when you copy others!mariehttp://thehumbleminimalist.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052955337499363741.post-65874790168590460372012-06-10T21:03:35.969-04:002012-06-10T21:03:35.969-04:00Thank you so much and welcome to the blog! :-) If ...Thank you so much and welcome to the blog! :-) If you ever make it to Orlando, let me know!

Let's not forget magazines that dedicate entire pages titled "Copy this Look" or something like that. Magazines such as "People Style", "Lucky", "US Weekly", "Life & Style" etc. dedicate entire pages to such fashions. After all nobody is a fashion genius. Even the ones that are born to do that job such as stylists and fashion designers have learned, somehow. Sure they create, recreate and inspire. But they also copy. And emulating someone is the sincerest form of flattery. I love what you do J. Your looks are fresh, modern, elegant and above all great for any budget because let's face it most of us women can only afford clothes from the mall and some of us on sale, even that. Plus when you copy a look from a magazine or a runway you make it MORE YOUR OWN than anything and you turn it into street-wear much more so than it is. You are a practical dresser despite being a fabulous, sexy, elegant, fashion-forward dresser.<br /><br />From a True Fan of Your Style and Fashion Sense.

I think whether we realize it or not some how some way when we get dressed in the morning we are recreating something we seen before....either on the runway or in a magazine. Without taking inspiration from these places we would be lost. Plus my blog is all about stealing looks for less since I believe every woman can be stylish just by learning the trends and some simple rules. These are mere guidelines that either you can strictly follow or take bits and pieces from. Not everyone can throw an outfit together without knowing what goes with what and what doesn't. <br /><br />http://fashionistanygirl.blogspot.com/Heatherhttp://fashionistanygirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6052955337499363741.post-19057913221018190692011-09-12T16:26:12.207-04:002011-09-12T16:26:12.207-04:00I agree J!

Why else do we have magazines trying to sell us all those clothes? Your blog is great because it shows how to put together outfits inspired by the runways/magazines and put your own spin on them. Then we can take them and put our own spin on them.

Katherine Hepburn had personal style. I think your posts are wonderful and very fashionable but 'style' is a unique and individual thing. There is a difference between being fashionable (which your posts truly are) and being 'stylish'. Having personal style suggests uniqueness to me while fashion is an almost technical term having to do with putting one's self together in a fashion conscious way.
