tFS...
It has given me many inspirations and lessons. Well, to sum it up in one sentence I would say that I have learned that personality shines through fashion. And I think thats beautiful. As many people have said in previous posts, I feel that tFS has actually developed/grew my thinking toward fashion and style. To be honest, I dressed like any teenage girl out there, with the mere concept of "what's in magazines must be whats cool, so I should go get it." Its terribly pathetic to think about it now, since I had no sense in clothing, and about what really suited me. Yes, I was just another sheep following the whole crowd.
But one day I landed on tFS and everything turned around. It has given me so much courage. I never used to wear orange, or bright colors, or even metallic shades. I was hesitant, "What if I wore something wrong, or out of style... what if?". I have learned at tFS that such worries shouldn't really exist. I wear what I think looks best on me, what I think is great and lovely. So now, I wear what I want to... and I am more than happy.
Since I don't even have my own decent job, I can't afford much designer clothing. It doesn't matter though, just looking at the pictures, reading peoples thoughts, talking to the kind people on tFS from all over the world, people that have their own mind and opinion is much more than I can ask for. This experience is much more valuable than anything out there. tFS is Priceless, as the Mastercard commercial would say.
dear Lord, thats the longest comment I have written in my entire life.

It probably hasn't changed my style as such. What is has done is make me more sure that I should keep trying, to be less bothered about what the great uninformed think, to try to look at clothes other than those by comme des garcons (!), to realise that other people like comme des garcons clothes as much as me (!), to appreciate other people's clothes even though I wouldn't wear them, to realise that fashion, although not art, can connect people on actually quite a profound level...and that Dogville is indeed a work of absolute genius!

This is freaky; I was going to start this topic today.
They were some of the only designers I'd really heard of, and I liked the stuff on their websites, because it looked different and cool to me. I was just starting to get really interested in clothes and fashion, and I had very little taste at all. I didn't really pay attention to the cuts or fabrics or details or anything. I just liked anything that stood out and looked crazy, I guess. Originally posted by AlexN@Dec 9 2004, 02:52 PM
When I first came to TFS (August seems so long ago), my idea of great fashion was Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Versace.
So now it's been four months, and I'm a completely different person, style and taste-wise. I feel like I've been part of TFS for a year or two. This place has completely developed and shaped, and is still developing and shaping, my style and attitude toward fashion. I've been introduced to countless wonderful designers I would never find out about otherwise. And everything and everyone here have just completely improved every aspect of appreciating clothes and fashion, as well as shopping.
I'm forever in your debt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See, guys?! This is my point exactly. It is something inborn, that sense of beauty and appreciation of quality, that feeling of care, but sometimes you just don't have the exposure to it. So, whoever says that it's about where you live and what the norm is, and so on, is missing the point. It mostly comes from the inside.

) - except for me. and everybody teased me because i didn't have them. the thing is i never liked them and i'd be embarrased to wear shoes like that. today tfs encourages me to stay true to who i am and to dare to be different. and that's what i love about this place, there's room for everyone and our differences are accepted and respected.
