[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t like being a sheep, so I seek out things I actually like. I tend to favor items that are unique, hard to find. Other women seem to admire that. 
Women who feel they have to wear the label everyone else is wearing are just obviously trying to ft in and show off, why not be yourself?[/quote]

I think the issue is that a lot of women don't have a unique self to be. This is who they are -- sheep who will buy and wear what they were told by the powers that be, which in this case are other women who similarly are risk averse and unoriginal.

Let the lemmings run.[/quote]

I love unique jewelry but am otherwise pretty basic in my style.

I don’t think women are “sheep,” exactly.  But having “unique” style takes a pretty high investment of time and energy and experimentation.  Even fairly wealthy women may not be interested in that.  It’s like dressing for work- sometimes I want a uniform type outfit because I want my morning routine to be quick.  For a lot of women that basic look is attractive enough and quick enough to figure out.  I don’t begrudge anyone that.[/quote]

Sure. I have a work uniform. It consists of blouses from Nordstrom, dress pants and skirts and cardigans and blazers etc. Not. Single one of them is from an “It” brand or conspicuously displays a label. Going out of one’s way to wear the coveted items is different than just wanting to simplify. [/quote]

That’s not what I mean by simplify.  I mean that when I travel I go out of my way to find expensive hand made jewelry that catches my eye.  I want it to be seen on me and I love when I get compliments.

Another woman will buy a Cartier bracelet because she wants to be seen and she wants people around her to be aware of her social standing.  She doesn’t want to wander around some market in the third world in 100 degree heat looking for a silver collar, she just wants to look pretty.  She doesn’t want to search for some outfit that is “unique,” she just wants to buy something from lululemon that shows off that she doesn’t skip leg day.

None of this is a problem, none of this says anything particularly important about anyone.[/quote]

I’d be surprised if you really believed this. There are tons of ways to be pretty and show you don’t skip leg day than buying lululemon leggings or whatever the latest in athleisure is. In fact, it was only about that, you would never need to go to whatever the next latest brand is.[/quote]

I've tried multiple Lululemon pieces and never loved them. Maybe it's because I'm not a size 0, but for some reason I just don't think their clothes look fantastic on me so instead I've found other brands that are actually more expensive but that aren't as well known. I get compliments all the time and when people ask for the brand I tell them and they've never heard of it. I bought the leggings or the tops because I really liked the way they looked on me, period. I would have gone with the Lulu pieces had I liked how they looked. [/quote]
