wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week
thought of the day, my dear wardrobe_remix(ers):
what the mob decides is fashionable isn't important at all. it's downright irrelevant. what YOU decide is stylish, what suits you is far more important, more beautiful, more unique, more relevant, more TRUE.
don't listen to the mob. they know nothing about style. only YOU know what's truly you.

this here is the original weekly wardrobe_remix recap of the latest and the greatest from the community, from yours truly, the creator of wardrobe_remix!
any wardrobe_remix photos that find themselves here are about great style + great photography = the two meet and merrily marry to make a perfect expression of YOU! and i've said it a million times before, it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it...the ticket is the confidence and sureness you exude when you express yourself the way that makes YOU feel most comfortable. that confidence shines through and is captured on film! so whether you're wearing couture clothes from the finest designers, mass market threads, thrifted stuff, or even a shirt you found on the side of the road...rock it! it's ALL GOOD and it's ALL WELCOME in wardrobe_remix!

-i am in super love with this paul richard quote posted on apartment therapy: los angeles:
colors are promiscuous. they get infected by their neighbors.
and it's true: colors are influenced by the other colors that they hang around with, the light in which they live, the other colors that sit by them on the color wheel. for instance, red can lean in various directions, sometimes more toward the color to their right or left, sometimes becoming a bluish-red, or a yellowy red. and so on. it's a gradient. i love color so much sometimes i wish i could eat it.

-adding to the link in my (not so) random links list from last week about luxury not being so luxurious, and fancy bags just being hype, a backlash seems to be brewing against those ridiculous "it-bags"... eric wilson of the new york times asks: is this it for the "it bag"? (let's hope so.)

-hats are haute. told you so! still don't believe me? see old hat? not any more... from the telegraph, and this hat-positive missal from the ever so stylish styleista, the vintage society.

i been watching the gap flounder for years now via the pages of WWD...they are so, so lost, so irrelevant, so un-hip, so middle-management heavy, losing money, and digging their own grave. this observer expose on their deplorable child labor practices in india probably won't do much to help their image, and it goes without saying that it flies in the face of the pseudo-ethical (red) campaign they rolled out some time ago.
