uh oh chris classifieds vs merz will be modeling mbds mary kate outfit on ebay in a minute
Uhhh - can we agree that I don't own a single piece of western kitsch in my closet, and yeah, that's what I would wear on a walk to buy carrots. Didn't bother to expend too many braincells to pull it together. Most important: I got my fucking carrots.
And Merz - "trapped" in my closet? Or "raiding" my closet? In any case, "trapped" may be pretty apt it turns out - hopefully you'll send my Lanvin ballerinas back one day. I'm sure you've enjoyed them...
xoxo,

Your normally can-do-no-wrong eye is, in my opinion, a little off with this one. You look like you're going to a ninja-goth spa, with layer and layers of terry cloth robes thrown this way and that as you wait to get into the steam room. (Ya-ya ninja-brohood?)
Alternatively, you could be making illuminated manuscripts, or painting saint's portraits on the grounds of a Russian Orthodox church. (That's a good thing in my book, btw.)
I think the ensemble would be improved with just a touch of structure.

i called rider eclectic (it was meant to be a term of endearment)...am i supposed to take it back now? i don't think eclectic has to be a bad thing (as in russian) although certainly it is going to be a lot easier to pull off personal style when it's more coherent, cohesive, predictable, or whatever. i'd prefer to think of eclectic as something perhaps unpredictable, or not easily categorized. but i wouldn't call those pics of mary-kate eclectic so much as just random.
of course you don't have to take it back. what silly thought!
I dislike "eclectic" because i believe that the people worth their weight are the ones that have a core. And that core extends to everything they do. And if you are a cowgirl today, a boho tomorrow, a goth on Friday, and a hipster on Saturday that core is missing. You are just a weather vane.

^faust, i tend to agree in general. I see high school and college acquaintances on Facebook who were bon jovi fans that now love indie or guidos who are now fashionistas. I will admit however, it is fun wearing a flannel shirt once in a while or some other hipster kind of shit
I understand. I might be wrong, too. But throughout my life I just tend to gravitate towards people like that and I find them to be the most genuine and interesting.

i believe that what you are describing is called "multiple style personality disorder"
i agree with what you are saying, perhaps we just have different associations with the word eclectic. maybe you just don't like it because you are russian (ukranian?) i think there are members on here though that are both eclectic in their tastes, and have a core...such as rider, fuuma, or seenmy...from what i can tell, they wear a wide range of designers, colors, and cuts but still have a style that is distinctly theirs. even mbd could be seen as eclectic, at least in my book. i also see junya watanabe's collections as eclectic, not individually but when compared from one season to the next, although they all clearly bear his signature.
^total authenticity can be dangerous too if you don't bend to some societal norms and accept others. i have a 38 year old friend who, as my friend so eloquently said, is still all about "boots, goth babes and bleecker bob's". I have certainly sold a part of myself for career, family, friends, etc.
