Outfit Details - The Verdict

I have been troubled quite a while as to whether I should be referencing my outfits and after long chats with friends, silent discussions with myself and comment exchanging with you, I have finally reached a decision.

It is only what I personally think so by no means don't you take it as an objective guideline to how it should be.

It all started the minute I took fash-blogging seriously and started reading kilobytes over kilobytes of info. I noticed straight away that street fashion blogs like the sartorialist or streetgeist don't do any referencing which could be for any of the following reasons:
a)legal implications,
b)no time to do so when out in the street,
c)they don't want to.

So basically, you see an outfit you like and try to recreate it using your own wardrobe or buying the brands you prefer, without going for the exact same stuff, adjusting it to your own budget.

Then again, most individual independed bloggers like me, do reference every single item which is great because like most of you said, if you really like something, you know what it is and there's no need to bother asking.

But is this pushing everyone towards a unified dress code, subconsiously imposed uniform? Is it practically showing off?

So I started feeling kinda like this each time I made a list of my outfit details: I admit I may have gone a bit mental at that stage:)

So I told you. Thanks everyone for all the lovely responses.

The fact that you see no harm in mentioning the brands we wear, makes me see no harm either. However, it gives me a good chance to stress out that us bloggers have a certain power we don't even realise sometimes. We can make or break a trend (or even a brand), shape opinions, give the thumbs up or down to certain situations. We owe it to ourselves and our readers to be true and use this power wisely.

I have said it before and will repeat it: it is not about brands, but how you wear them. Whether it is miu miu at my feet or zara, it should not be making any difference when deciding if you like it or not. At the end of the day, nowadays everything gets copied and spreads so fast, you can have it at any price. The name on the tag should always be a personal decision.

Hope all this makes sense...
