Hi Tricia!
My name is Anouk, Im a language teacher from the Netherlands. I like reading, meeting friends, dressing up, gardening, cooking and random creative things.
I really love your site. I especially enjoy your more personal posts where we get a peek of your life (outfits, interior, adorable Poppy). I also love to see what you create and thrift. I am a little less interested in the questions you put up, mostly because I come to your blog for eye candy.
You absolutely rock and have inspired me so much to add more colour and creativity to my life and wardrobe! Im surely interested in your new blog ideas!

Hello. I have been reading your blog for over four years. I de-lurked once before to write to you about natural childbirth in American hospitals, when you were expecting P.
I am 30, mum to two girls (aged 3.5 and just 2) and one wee boy (aged 2.5 weeks – letting me type with one hand as the other supports him to feed!). I am English, lived in Princeton NJ last time I de-lurked and now live in Jerusalem.
I have been a dedicated thrifter for at least 20 years, I love clothes – but not fashion, as in trends, so much. I lov to sew, knit, and making bead jewellery – though just lately haven’t found too much time for such persuits.
I find pretty much all of your posts interesting. I especially love the more personal ones – personal on all levels, so that includes the introspective pieces + musings (I love reading your thought-provoking pieces), what you’ve thrifted, DIY (the things you’ve created in knitting are amazing), corners of your home, and I really miss your fabulous outfit posts.
Thanks very much for all the enjoyment and inspiration I’ve had from your blog – not to mention WR! – over the yars.
You Rock!

Hey Tricia,

Been a lurker here for awhile, so I’m a little excited to introduce myself!

I’m a twenty-something/fashion&computer geek/marketing&graphic design major/living in Omaha, Nebraska.

I run a local clothing boutique (and currently thrilled to be working on our upcoming website: http://www.beyourselfonline.com – shameless plug).

I discovered your blog through wardrobe_remix a couple years ago. I absolutely love your weekly pick posts, but also love the majority of what you choose to post honestly. Your personal bits are lovely (love hearing about the lil’ one) and they blend well with your fashion pics/links/perspectives. In general, I enjoy the variety. (On a side note, I’ve always enjoyed your page layout as well.)

Thanks for your interest in us readers!!

sup!
my name is Alanna and I make wearables. One time you featured me, I thought that was RAD. Thanks!! I started reading your blog because of wardrobe remix, of which I very occasionally participate in. I kept reading because your content is unique and you also like the color orange. I like the remix round-ups, the book peeks, fashion-related anythings, & pics of stuff you made the bestest. cheeeeers!

Hi Tricia! I’m 27, a SAHM of a 3.5 year old boy who is all energy and a 6 month old girl who is all sunshine. I have a MA in Cultural Studies and am still suprised to be living in a teeny-tiny town in the middle of Kansas. I love to sew, I love to read and do it constantly, I used to paint but now I play with play-doh and brightly colored wooden blocks. We go to the beach every summer because being landlocked is hard. I am learning how to play again and how to keep the semblance of order in our 108 year old bungalow–they sometimes go hand-in-hand, but more often I have to choose one or the other. We all love to dance like crazy while listening to old records in the basement.

I appreciate the balance you present in your writing. The articles are thoughtful, a bit political, and always creative. You inspire me to keep writing and to find beauty in the everyday. My favorite posts are usually about your sewing projects, thrifting, or when you ask those lovely questions.

Hi, I think this is my second comment on your blog ^^;

who are you?
I’m Ren, 24 this year, residing in tropical Singapore.
I graduate in a couple of month’s time provided that I actually finish my animation final project… I’m a procrastinator so I usually require friends to kick my butt like that

I’m really into colours and kaleidoscopes, good animation, drawn art, game art, photography, funny stuff. I grew up in a pretty unorthodox family with lots of toilet humour, so sometimes I surprise strangers with the incongruity of how I look and what I say.

I’d love to see more of your writing and interesting art! Definitely stuff that you made too <3 I think everything you listed sounds good actually, I mean even the w_r remix photos you post do show your personality from the choices you make

I’m a grandmother, actually a great-grandmother..and I love fabrics, notions, silk, cashmere, brocade, almost any Japanese fabric, old kimonos and obis. I started making my own clothes when I was about 11 and failed the sewing portion of home ec in Jr. High because I didn’t use patterns. I thought that was unfair because I wore the clothes I made. I copied things from Vogue, Bazaar and other fashion magazines. I like Chanel, Givenchey and almost anything that was bias cut. Still love watching old movies from the 30’s and 40’s because the clothes are so inspiring.
Now I buy at thrift stores and vintage shops and remake things to fit…I wear a size 000 in pants, can fit into girls size 12 to 14…but I don’t wear lycra, or T-shirts with age inappropriate slogans.

I like to see what other people, creative people, are doing with clothing.

Susan, former teacher in the Bronx, current jewelry designer in Portland. I’ll admit, I look at every post of yours, but don’t necessarily read them all. I love pretty pictures. I love color. I love seeing all sorts of people and bodies and shapes and sizes represented here.
