[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God DCUM is so weird. 
I don’t mind if someone asks where something is from and assuming I remember I will tell them. 
Why wouldn’t I?  No one I know is going to copy my whole wardrobe and I’m not insecure. If I got something cute from Anthro, Amazon, or spent $4k on a dress from a boutique I’m an open book. [/quote]

+1. And seriously, who the F cares if they do decide to “copy” you? [/quote]

I do. I care. I put a lot of effort into my style, which is distinctive, and I don't like having a woman in my social circle copying exact items from my wardrobe. If you want to do it, I can't stop you, but I'm not going to *help* you by providing you an itemized list of everything I'm wearing and where I bought it.[/quote]

Plus they didn’t just make one of everything you own 🙄[/quote]

This only applies to distinctive items. No one cares about basics and neutrals.

Also, who is more insecure: the woman who politely declines to share where she bought something by saying "oh I can't remember," of the woman walking around parties asking multiple women where their clothes came from and then rushing home to google the items to find out where they are from and how much they cost?

I think it's weird to want to dress like someone else. Dress like yourself. [/quote]

You don't dress like yourself, unless you make your own dressess.[/quote]

False. There are a huge variety of clothes a person can buy and what you choose and how you put it together can be distinctive.

Though I also get a lot of my clothes tailored to fit my body in specific ways, also. But even just adding a belt or choosing to tuck in a shirt, or buying something slightly oversized on purpose, combining colors in a specific way (or choosing to keep something monochrome) -- all of these are ways that people customize their clothes to themselves.

But I'm realizing, reading this thread, that maybe this is the problem -- people think the key to looking stylish is to buy the "right" clothes from specific brands or stores, and that's why they need to know where other people got their clothes. But that's not really it. If you see a really stylish woman wearing a dress and go out and buy that exact same dress, you are unlikely to look stylish unless you know how to style it to suit you the same way that other woman knew how to style it to suit her.

You can't buy taste.[/quote]
