LaurenI think you should keep it up! I used to look at the wardrobe remix page when it started, but there’s too much for me to sort through now. I do however, enjoy looking at a small diverse selection of what’s on there weekly.
February 18 2010 at 11:50 pm
chelseapleeeeease keep doing these. there are so, so many pictures on wr and while i patiently sift through because i love to look at pictures, it’s nice to see your weekly roundup. the best of the best. love. you are always so colorful.
February 18 2010 at 11:54 pm
LaurelI like these round-ups! Looking at the Flickr pool is overwhelming a lot of the time, and I’m always interested in what you gravitate towards.
February 19 2010 at 12:07 am
triciajessica/katie: yes, generally, i do like making these posts. recently, however, i have had some negative feedback about my choices & so forth, which kind of got me thinking about it all in general, and if it’s generally appreciated/garners any real interest. i always did it with an intention of just advertising the group and trying to showcase photos and people i thought were special. it’s all positive, in my mind, though admittedly it does have my bias. but clearly some people don’t see it that way?
February 19 2010 at 12:37 am
patrick barberi love the weekly roundups. i hope you keep doing them. of course it’s your opinion! you’re the person who started wardrobe remix… your opinion matters. if you like doing them i hope you keep it up. cheers . patrick

ChristyI love the remixers of the week posts. If you enjoy doing them, I say keep doing them! I know I would miss them if you stopped.
February 19 2010 at 1:28 am
kylie joKeep doing them as long as you’re enjoying it! It’s sad that you’re getting negative feedback…and completely unnecessary. Style is a personal choice and people are bound to disagree, but there’s no need to get nasty.
I hope the good outweighs the bad here because I’ve always enjoyed these posts. But either way, I’ll keep reading!
February 19 2010 at 1:31 am
kylie jo..and that skirt in the fourth pic is fantastic!!
February 19 2010 at 2:09 am
christinaI can’t believe people are whining about it. It’s your thing!
Anyhoo – Please keep the roundup! I really do look forward to it every week! I love the Flickr pool and I even contribute to it… I like to see if any of my favorites make your list. It’s fun.
February 19 2010 at 3:11 am
KaetiFor the record, I think you have SPLENDID taste, and I have always appreciated your weekly roundups! They’re so inspiring, and I love the attitude you take in celebrating the W_R community’s sartorial diversity and brilliance in self-portraiture.
February 19 2010 at 3:16 am
Kristinakeep it up – I always check here since I don’t have time to go through all of wardrobe remix!
February 19 2010 at 3:26 am
JennI like the round up! Especially now that w_r has gotten so huge, it’s a nice way to catch up without the hard work (for me, I’m sure it’s work for you!). As for the negative feedback – wtf?!?!?!
February 19 2010 at 3:37 am
bestieAhh people can be so ridiculous sometimes. I personally enjoy your weekly recaps Tricia! And I am certain many others look forward to these. So I hope the negative comments don’t get in the way, and you just keep doing what you want to do.
Thanks, btw, for including me this week. Always an honor. (:
February 19 2010 at 4:31 am
sarahcomment trolls are the strangest creatures; I’ll never understand it. You and I have different taste, and that’s precisely why I enjoy and look forward to your WR of the Week every Thursday. I find it refreshing.
February 19 2010 at 6:09 am
SarahTricia, please keep going with the roundups! I love your picks and the whole concept of the wardrobe remix. I was so lost with my own style; not so confident, a total bore(!) in fact until I came across your Flickr group and this website. Your concept of sharing style and tips has been SO inspirational. The roundups are my weekly highlight and often show me something I might have missed on Flickr!
It’s sad but true that you will always get haters when you’re involved with anything creative be it art, fashion or photography for example. The emotion and reaction they create are so subjective. What people need to do is move on if it’s not for them and not critizise. Like you said yourself, they should go and make their own sites and pick the things they like instead of hurling abuse and negative energy your way. There are also plenty other sites which might be more suitable for their taste.
My style now is MUCH improved by the inspiration you have provided via this website. It might not be as colourful and cool as yours, but it’s mine. I think it is the difference that makes our lives and fashion more interesting. Keep doing what you do, I love your work!

Sue KennedyI have been posting on w_r fairly consistently for over two years now. It has been fantastic for me & I’ve loved it. During this time, I’ve always looked forward to your weekly roundup & was absolutely thrilled & gobsmacked when I made the grade one time last year.
There is no doubt that your personal taste informs your choices. But who cares? Don’t tell me that American ‘Vogue’ isn’t a reflection of Anna’s taste & bias.
I was disappointed when you stopped doing it when your little Poppy was born & thrilled when you began it again.
My only request is that since the pool has become sooo big, you include more people. That is, if you have the time & could be bothered.
Oh, & of course, Include Me!
thank you Tricia. Please don’t stop,
Sue Middleagedteacher from Australia

brandilove the roundups! hope you keep doing them…
February 19 2010 at 8:15 am
girlxoxoOh please continue – but only if you isn’t too much work for you (if it is I volunteer to help). I love the roundup because there’s a lot to sift through on the flickr pool, and this is so inspiring.
February 19 2010 at 10:07 am
SandraI like your roundups. If the style of a pick don’t jive with me, I can at least appreciate the photo itself, as you typically feature images with great compositions.
February 19 2010 at 11:07 am
GwynethPlease don’t stop. I love reading your blog (which I get on a feed through livejournal). It inspires me, and helps me when I go clothes shopping (almost always in a thrift shop now–thank you for that, too!) because I can look at outfits in a different way rather than what you see merchandised in store windows. So please, don’t listen to nasty remarks from other people, and know that the people you’ve helped really appreciate what you’re doing here!
February 19 2010 at 11:21 am
kimI have to admit I look forward to your other posts much more than these roundups. Most of the time I only skim through them, as they largely feature the same remixers over and over and tend to be sort of repetitive. But, it’s your blog and if you enjoy doing them, why not continue?
February 19 2010 at 11:31 am
triciakim, thanks for your constructive criticism, i very much appreciate it. i freely admit the choices i make are fairly repetitive…so you got me there. my apologies for that.
i try to, as much as possible, add in new folks and/or folks i think i haven’t added before. that said, i tend to look for color, for quirk, something different or interesting. i try to put in people of all sizes, colors, and try to include men if there are any around (unfortunately their numbers are small). i also, above that, even, try to put in photos that are clear, well-lit, framed nicely, and show a head-to-toe look. unfortunately that sort of narrows down choices. but i try as hard as i can to be diverse, given my personal tastes and what’s available at a given time.
if i continue with it, i will of course try harder to make these posts better.
February 19 2010 at 12:42 pm
kimThanks for your response, Tricia. I love your sense of color and style, and one thing I especially love about wardrobe_remix in general is the diversity of body types. It is always difficult to edit objectively, especially when there are such considerations as photo quality, etc. Kudos to you for tending the group and keeping the blog fresh and interesting as well!
February 19 2010 at 1:53 pm
jilldon’t stop the roundups! it’s my favorite part.
February 19 2010 at 1:55 pm
jilli just read your comment above. you could have a guest round-upper every now and then if you think you are being repetitive?
February 19 2010 at 2:04 pm
triciajill: that’s a brilliant idea…and something i was actually considering doing. i’m moving very soon, but after i am settled and my mind isn’t all over the place i think i’ll institute something like that at least once a month. like, w_r’s choosing their favorite w_r’s of the week. it could be really great!
February 19 2010 at 2:23 pm
jesse.anne.oI like looking at the roundup posts even if I only ever like 1-2 of the remixers’ outfits featured. It’s still fun. I think you tend to pick a lot of bright color or sort of over the top outfits I wouldn’t want to wear because it’s just not my thing but my thoughts on outfit-wearability-for-me doesn’t detract from my enjoying the posts. Would I love it if the posts looked like my favorited items, sure. But I’m not the one posting!
February 19 2010 at 2:27 pm
triciajessie: you are right, i do favor bright colors! frankly, too much black makes me depressed! on myself, on others. just in general. i like it but it can really overwhelm me emotionally. i know it’s really chic right now (and colors seem to be “out”) but i just can’t stomach too much darkness. and it’s funny, i even thought i was including a lot of black lately, more than usual! haha.
February 19 2010 at 2:30 pm
IrisI look forward to the Weekly Round-up all week. Brings me so much inspiration! Please continue to post
February 19 2010 at 5:47 pm
S.Please keep the round-ups! I love going through the group pool but at times when I don’t have a ton of time to peruse all the great photos, I know I will find some awesome ones on here come Thursday. Your weekly round ups is how I’ve come across several remixers who are now ‘contacts’ and who’s photos I look at regularly. Thanks for taking the time to do this and rock on!
S
February 19 2010 at 6:54 pm
jesse.anne.oTricia – I noticed you had been incorporating more black and neutrals…but for some reason I felt like the colorful ones were more your thang! Maybe because from what I recall of your outfit posts, you love color.
Anyway, thanks again for posting the stuff you do.
February 20 2010 at 6:49 am
Lorenaloving the anja louise verdugo look… and those shoes! Really enjoying your blog
February 20 2010 at 6:53 am
LibbyDon’t stop the weekly roundups! I love them!
February 20 2010 at 12:19 pm
LisaI love the round ups!
February 20 2010 at 2:18 pm
RachelI love the roundups, and after visiting and NOT participating for years, it is so fun to post in w_r and even to have been picked for a roundup. Thank you.
Please keep it up, if you enjoy doing it! And I love the idea of having a guest do it…the more community, the better
February 20 2010 at 6:27 pm
eyeliahI didn’t read the comments first, but I am sure you know since I often comment on your roundups that I am a big fan! Would def be for you keeping them going, it also works as a reminder for me if I get behind looking thru the wr submissions.
February 22 2010 at 1:59 pm
WhatiworeI rather like your roundups. But it’s your blog, dahling!
February 22 2010 at 3:57 pm
laurai really like the posts. i don’t look through the group too often because it has become so big (so i mostly stick to looking at the photos from my friends), so i like seeing something new you picked! and the outfits are always nice. (:
February 26 2010 at 11:02 pm
jen thunderi actually just came across your roundups site and wish i had known of it sooner then trying to sift through the whole pool! what you do and the diverse array of body sizes, orientations, colors you feature is quite commendable for such positive community building, especially in light of how eurocentric and emaciated fashion is, thank you!!!!

SadieI like the round-ups, but I think there should be a bend to it every week, like a theme that inspired you instead of who you thought was the “best”, because I feel like from week to week, there seem to be certain group members that are favored.
