And it's very nice to see other posters jumping in to say, yes, Walnut Creek is a very special place in terms of uniformity. FWIW, i live in Pleasant Hill across the street from the Martinez border (a couple of miles from John Muir's house!)</p> <p>In principle and theory of course what others wear should matter not to anyone else. But in practice it can and does, i've found........i've worn my curly/wavy hair layered and let it air dry a little messy for decades. I can even say at this point it's something of a trademark. When i moved to P.H. from Berkeley a dozen years ago, my (wonderful!) long term hairstylist had moved out of state and it seemed sensible to find someone closer to where i lived.</p> <p>I went to the first stylist, explained how i liked my hair cut and how i cared for it, etc. She listened attentively, pulled out the scissors......one hour later i had a blunt cut, little below shoulder length, long layers around the face, blown dry straight.</p> <p>Okay - just a fluke. I tried second stylist. i explained how i liked my hair cut and how i cared for it, etc. She listened attentively, pulled out the scissors......one hour later i had a blunt cut, little below shoulder length, long layers around the face, blown dry straight.</p> <p>Beginning to get nervous, but really - what are the odds? Must be bad luck. Researched salons and went to third stylist. I explained how i liked my hair cut and how i cared for it, etc. She listened attentively, pulled out the scissors......one hour later i had a blunt cut, little below shoulder length, long layers around the face, blown dry straight.</p> <p>Now i cut my own hair. But honestly, to me, when people can't even imagine doing things differently even when a person sits there explaining to you how they do not want the 'standard do' - i'll admit it's scary! Not to mention very frustrating if you don't want to go along with the herd. And i would like to add that these days i do see more variety in clothing, hair, makeup and so on around here than i did in the early '00's.</p> <p>It's so interesting to see everyone's different takes on this topic, and how strong the opinions are held. Kudos to IK for starting this thread! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-472079 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:39:23 +0000 Irene 472079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read the whole thread but I don't really understand all the fuss, to be honest. If I found a woman on the street dressed with jeans like mine, boots like mine, my coat, my scarf and my glasses, she still wouldn't look like me because we have different bodies and faces. It's as simple as that. I don't consider the skinnies+boots as a super cool formula -let alone my creative formula-. Seriously, it's such an easy combination, especially when it rains, and particularly flattering (at least on me). I feel no pride when I wear it myself, so I feel no offense when somebody does. Women, YOU are unique and can't help it. As much as I love fashion, clothes don't define me as a person, and I don't think they define you either. I'm the same woman when I wear my favorite high heels and cocktail dress and when I wear my comfy pajamas, and so are you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-469000 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:22:56 +0000 Anonymous 469000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheila - I agree that the uniform between the Danville/Blackhawk/Alamo side of WC was a much different uniform from the Pleasant Hill/Martinez/Concord side of WC! Indeed, very much like a John Hughes movie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468982 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:48:06 +0000 Nadya 468982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou: I totally cracked up at your description of Walnut Creek (where I worked many years ago) parties! It totally sounds like a John Hughes movie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468911 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:51:58 +0000 Sheila 468911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walnut Creek...I lived/worked there for more than a decade...and I have to say that I think it's getting a bum rap. Don't you mean Danville, Blackhawk or Alamo? The WC folk I hung out with were more the arty type, really independent individuals. What do I know, I'm a redhead!</p> <p>Hey IK thanks for getting this going...really interesting input from everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468860 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 03:53:49 +0000 Anonymous 468860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm laughing out loud at the references to Walnut Creek. I lived there for 12 years and both my kids were born there. I had a hair stylist that worked half his time in WC and the other half at a salon in Oakland. I asked him why he split his time like that and he said that he made more money in WC but he could be more creative in Oakland. In WC, the women were most concerned with looking "pretty" and the women in Oakland were most concerned with looking "different and edgy". I have to say there was a definite degree of sameness in the WC uniform. But I also spent a lot of time over in Oakland and for all its diversity, there was a uniform there, as well. There is a uniform here in the eastern part of the Seattle area. And there was a completely different uniform down in San Diego. </p> <p>I have no problem with uniforms and I tend to be a uniform dresser for the most part. But I also strive to set myself apart.....All the moms wear puffer coats for the morning walk to school and I also have a puffer coat...but mine is slightly metallic gray. So in the sea of black puffers, I am the shiny one. I think there are ebbs and floes with fashion trends and I beleive we have hit the peak for the skinnies with boots trend and people will be mixing it up going forward. But its not going away....its flattering, comfortable and those boots cost a fortune! </p> <p>I think of all the uniforms available, the skinnies and boots combo is great. Easy and stylish. And allows enough variation so that people can express themselves. I see it everywhere and I admit that I still like it and I'm glad its going strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468782 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:13:06 +0000 Aida 468782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK I have to say thank you for starting this discussion, it has been a fascinating one! (Hope I didn't offend anyone, either!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468733 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:53:58 +0000 Makrame 468733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of Europe, after our trip to Italy, DH refers to my skinnies as "Euro jeans". He hasn't really pegged the skinnies+boots look as ubiquitous in the US, perhaps because where we live, there are so many different "uniforms", including mom jeans and white sneakers, that the "lemming" look is not really a uniform at all. But he did notice stylish Italian women (and men) wearing all sorts of skinny pants and leggings so now he is paying more attention to skinny pants as the more "Euro" look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468729 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:48:19 +0000 rachylou 468729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tonib, you're a doll!</p> <p>Re. Walnut Creek: Ok. I went to school out that way, so I can talk smack out it. And I have to tell y'all, the other evening I was on Telegraph in Oakland where some folks were seriously talking about how to avoid coming off like all the other Blackhawk people, Blackhawk being a place lumped together with Walnut Creek and other spots as "The Valley."</p> <p>The Valley is, simply, widely acknowledged as frightening even by people who live there. I mean like this one prom night party I went to... not that I didn't have a wild blast... but it was in this gated community where there was wall-to-wall carpet in the garages and all the parents were off at Club Med and all the kids were running around inside off their heads like they'd been infected by a zombifying virus.</p> <p>So yeah, people are on guard for early warning signs like a Range Rover, tan slacks, and highlights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-468581 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:45:07 +0000 tonib 468581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh! I've just bought skinny jeans and tall boots- why do I always take so long to follow a trend?! By the time I've built up the confidence everyone else is over it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-467565 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:53:33 +0000 HeleenH 467565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patty, I love to wear my knee high boots with tights and dresses. So that's another way to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-467542 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:53:54 +0000 Patty 467542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this 'look, in sooo much more attainable at almost all price points and sizes these days. I can't, in my recent memory--which is just a little beyond last weekend--remember seeing so many different high boots in stores as I see now. How else would you wear them--time for a challenge?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/3#post-467474 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:42:33 +0000 Amy 467474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much to contribute to the discussion, which hasn't already been put in a very eloquent manner already (I particularly like what Michelle wrote), but I just wanted to say that I'm glad you started this discussion, IK. This is something that we'd all do well to keep in mind when making choices, whether it's about fashion or something else. Sometimes, it makes good sense to do what's easiest and follow the herd. It would simply be ridiculous to reinvent the wheel day after day. In the end, though, it's important to stay true to yourself and not lose touch with your values, point of view, etc. The world's a much more interesting place with some measure of variety rather than total homogeneity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-467467 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 06:14:43 +0000 afterism 467467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I came across several references to this thread yesterday so tracked it down &amp; read through it.</p> <p>I thought about it on the way to work this morning. </p> <p>As far as I can tell it is just as as silly not to wear something because everybody else is as it is to wear something because everybody else is.</p> <p>I feel like either of the above is giving far too much weight to the opinions/actions of people I probably don't even know.</p> <p>When I pick an outfit in the morning it's because it is something I like, if nobody else likes it, tough titties! </p> <p>If everybody else is wearing something similar, I just figure I looked so awesome last time I wore it that everybody is copying me :P</p> <p>I think slavish imitaion is a sign that a person lacks the confidence to put things together on their own. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it may just be a step on the way to finding their own style. A little bit of fake it until you make it in action.</p> <p>Insisting on not wearing anything that is mainstream is overboard as well IMO. I think there's a difference between having a unique style &amp; defining your style based on not wearing what others do. The first is good, the second is a little bit rebel without a cause. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-466055 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 04:08:30 +0000 Michelle 466055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving this thread and am so glad you started it, IK! And I cackled out loud at your brilliant limerick. :)</p> <p>As someone who can't observe the people around me, I am not obviously the best person to comment on the prevalence or lack there of of a uniform, let alone the degree to which I adopt it. But i do think there are a couple of things that come into play. Many people may dress in a similar manner simply by virtue of what's available in stores. To run with this cattle analogy, designers and retailers do a great deal to regulate the behaviour of the herd by corraling them into a unit and forcing them to graze from the same pasture. When all the cows then produce milk of the same quality, it's little wonder since they've been sustained with identical food. People who don't share our commitment to fashion, i.e. the majority, may simply acquire the skinnies/tunic/boots "uniform" because it's readily available. The practical among them will also embrace the look because of it's undeniable merits as a versatile, weather-proof and camouflaging ensemble. They may well just decide it's versatile, affordable and won't make them conspicuous and decide they're off to the races.<br /> Which brings me to the other point. I absolutely see both sides of the argument around the word "scary" used to describe hoards of similar-looking people. For me it all comes down to intent. Did you dress in a common get-up because you like it? Or you find it comfortable? Or it suits your climate/mood/schedule for the day? Then it's totally ok in my book, whether you've made efforts to set yourself apart or not. If, however, you are wearing the uniform in defiance of your own preferences and solely to try and fit in with a norm that you can't bring yourself to question, then I start to feel troubled. Again, this is distinct from the people who just buy the requisite pieces because they can't be bothered with fashion and just want to fly under the radar. Those people at least made a conscious decision not to fuss with fashion and are following the path of least resistance. It's the ones who subjugate their own standards in the name of looking like everyone else that concern me. These are the people that will adopt a trend, any trend, if they think it's "the right thing to do." Those are the ones who seem to repress their individuality in ways that I personally find sad rather than scary, but worrisome all the same.</p> <p>In the end, I aspire to embody Aida's mantra. I prefer to look current, but still find ways to express my individuality through attention to detail. The top I bought today will look super with my ponte knit skinnies, and I fully intend to wear them that way. If I feel like pairing it with a pencil skirt, though, then that's exactly what I'll do. On days when I wear it with skinnies, my mood will dictate whether I throw on chunky pearls or a silver snake-like necklace. Or my leather jacket or a grey boyfriend blazer. I'll feel like me in every combo, and that's what matters most in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465932 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 01:59:13 +0000 crazyone 465932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, interesting post and I'm glad you brought it up. I don't agree with you at all, though. For one thing, we spend so much time complaining on YLF about how many people around us dress schlumpily--but now if they dress stylishly, they have to dress stylishly with unique flair? IMO, "everyone looks the same" (by this standard) in European cities known for their high style, as well. That said, I always enjoy people watching in Europe, because they are so well dressed! But there isn't a huge gamut of color, or variety of cut. </p> <p>I always feel bored when I come back from India because of this, actually. People watching is SO FUN there, because there's a huge, huge variety of color, style of clothing, silhouette, jewelry, etc. Women are dressed up all the time, and since most people are still buying clothes that they either had made or from non-department stores that sell only one of each item, you rarely see women wearing the same thing. And since most clothing is tailored to fit, items look even more different since they're made with a body type in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465911 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 01:14:29 +0000 catgirl 465911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, don' be sorry, please! It's an absolutely fascinating discussion and well worth having. I hope you're not offended by the comments, and I certainly don't get the sense anyone else here is. </p> <p>I'm happy to attempt your challenge tomorrow regarding the UWP sweater. Let's test out the hypothesis like good fashion scientists and see what happens.</p> <p>I've found this especially interesting because there are hardly enough people where I live to BE a herd, and it's interesting that I'm possibly dressing like some herd out there in the contiguous U.S., even though I'm not among them. That would have to be YLF influence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465875 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:41:09 +0000 Adelfa 465875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've thought about uniforms for a long time. When I went to school, I was a returned missionary kid with clothes from the missionary barrel at church. I noticed trends and believed that those who followed them were materialistic, vain and lacked individuality. I never had the shoe of the moment (Wallabees, Earth shoes, Famolares) and I believed that this defined me in a positive way. (But notice how I remember them!)</p> <p>Some years ago on a gray day I was walking around on a visit to Berkeley and suddenly noticed the uniform there (at that time, in that neighborhood). The women my age were all in jeans or black pants with a very expensive Gore Tex rain parka zipped shut, with shoes that were expensive and comfortable and not stylish. They wore no makeup and their hair was short and unstyled. I had the thought that they were spending a lot of money to look alike and to look not very good (forgive me, hope you understand these were my thoughts at the time).</p> <p>This caused all kind of thoughts! Uniforms are everywhere! Money doesn't equal style. Practicality can take on a style life of its own. Uniforms are part of the human experience! If a Gore Tex clad Berkeley woman saw a foiled Walnut Creek woman, she might be tempted to think her way of dressing was superior... but really she would be a "lemming" too!</p> <p>I think uniforms are one way we connect to each other. Making the effort to dress currently sends a message about how you view yourself in relation to others. I've never felt too similar to everyone, but my style trajectory has been to increase my similarity and my on-trend quotient.</p> <p>What a great thread, thanks to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465873 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:25:52 +0000 Gaylene 465873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting discussion.</p> <p>It made me wonder why I see fashion convergence when I'm people-watching on a North American street while I see fashion divergence when I'm people-watching in Paris? The articles of clothing aren't that much different-- boots, skinnies, and jackets predominate in both areas-- but what I see is totally different. I constantly find myself looking at the way a scarf is knotted or how a glove is being worn when I'm in Paris instead of looking at the sameness of the "uniform". Maybe it's the thought and attention to all those little details that make the difference between being a fashion clone and being an individual? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465861 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:55:49 +0000 christy 465861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking a bit more about it and I think it has a great deal with where a person wants to be in the spectrum of cutting edge to mainstream. I've identified my spot - I'm never going to be at the forefront of fashion trends but I hope that I adopt a new idea before it becomes mainstream (with all the caveats, that it's suitable, I like it, etc.), but that won't keep me from wearing it if it does become "mainstream". </p> <p>I'm with IK in that I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my outfit of skinny jeans and tall boots looked very similar to A LOT of other outfits in the crowd. I didn't think there was anything wrong with that, I didn't think any less of anyone else around me who was wearing more or less the same thing. But it did make me think twice this weekend about pulling out the same uniform because *I* wanted to find something that was just a little bit different. So instead of boots, I threw on a pair of flats and put on my straight leg jeans instead of the skinnies - nothing drastically original, but still a bit different from the skinny jean/boot combo. I see nothing wrong with dressing mainstream and there are always going to be people who feel more comfortable when they fit in with their environmental norms. But what's fun for me is that I'm gaining confidence in my own instincts so that when I want to try something a little different I feel comfortable doing so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465852 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 22:13:56 +0000 DeniseP 465852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK: </p> <p>Ditto what you wrote last. </p> <p>No need to be sorry for your opinion and sticking to your guns.<br /> Healthy discourse followed -- reiterating that we are all really different, and not exactly alike!</p> <p>BTW, is your "holster" an accessory? LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465835 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:54:04 +0000 Lisa 465835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting. I am quite happy skinnies and boots over jeans are "in" because it means more options are available in stores. A few years back it was quite a challenge to find skinny jeans that "fit." Now I have plenty of shopping options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465824 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:47:31 +0000 ironkurtin 465824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm torn between being sorry I posted this in the first place, and sticking to my guns. I think it's weird that everyone in this mall was in basically the same outfit. And I didn't like that I was in it, too. I'm still not sure why. It *is* a comfortable and basically flattering look. </p> <p>For the record, I am not calling anyone names (cattle, clones, lemmings) or saying people are giving up their individuality by dressing like this, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465796 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:17:20 +0000 annagybe 465796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, UWP = Urban Warrior Princess.<br /> This is the sweater they're talking about</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/heed-hi-low-pullover/3214134?origin=category&#038;resultback=4373" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/he.....tback=4373</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465795 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:13:41 +0000 DeniseP 465795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mercy me, IK, glad you started this thread instead of me, since I'm relatively new here!</p> <p>What is a UWP sweater, please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465748 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:26:47 +0000 Cilleena 465748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what? The whole herd thing doesn't bother me a single bit. I am comforted by a similar dress code, actually. I live in an area where most people wear bootcuts, dansko clogs and a fleece sweatshirt, so when I see someone else out wearing skinnies and tall boots, I get excited...Yay! Fashion! I don't look like a weirdo anymore with my skinnies and boots. I suppose I am on the opposite end of the spectrum, I feel like I stand out too much and prefer to keep with my environmental norm a little bit. I do like my own bit of individual "flare", but really, my tall boots and skinnies are not likely to be the same as the next lady's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465740 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:08:05 +0000 Anonymous 465740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting topic. I have basically 2 points to make :<br /> First , the skinnies and boots must be at least 5 year old as looks goes this year. It's no more wow, or avant-garde. Ladies that used to think it only belongs to models and teens wear it. Curvy girl wear it. It's mainstream. 7 Years ago it was the same with boot-cuts . ( maybe) . It's an easy look, it does good to your figure it's easy casual, it doesn't make you attract attention.<br /> Second, most people I know want to look their personal best. As in flattering good. This has a huge component of blending in the current fashion vibe ( not trend) . It's the zeitgeist. Skinnies are now what the flares were to the 70's. The main pant silhouette. Our eyes are adjusted, we already fumbled with the looks, we have the tops and the shoes. Also, there have been some good boots season.<br /> And just to add the third me point, i think you can totally make this your own. I was wearing white jeans and black tough otk boots ( cavalry boots as my dad calls them). And a raspberry top with a gray bomber. And a red knit berrete. I was a little sel conscious about standing out. At school this is the uniform look, but while I like it, I still try to make it mine.( matchy matchy is my game I have burgundy boots and leather jacket ). Not as in stand in . As in this silhouette with some cute hats/funky earrings , maybe fun tops. I feel good in those outfits. ( Mostly because they don't single me as the girly girl who always wears dresses - as one of my colleagues called me).<br /> In the end, skinnies and boots and long sweaters, leggings boots and sweaters was the cook kids uniform. They've moved on, but this remained a tried and tested combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465730 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:42:56 +0000 MsMary 465730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I'm talking about. Rae, Una, and I all have the UWP Heed sweater, and we all wear it with boots and skinnies. Are we all putting in a "scary" amount of effort into looking virtually the same? When I copied Rae's look, pretty much exactly, was I trying to wipe out every trace of my own uniqueness? Or are we all having fun with fashion and was I expressing MY uniqueness using the same pieces Rae chose to express HER uniqueness? And if you don't know us, how on earth can you tell the difference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465726 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:10:09 +0000 lyn* 465726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno, if someone was bothering me and I knew I'd have to make a report to security (which has happened, unfortunately), I usually pay attention to things that may not be the most obvious things instead of what clothes they have on.</p> <p>I'd probably give a generic jacket/jeans description if outside, try to pay attention to shoes for shoe prints, and I once gave the description of the shirt under the jacket (because the purp did shed his outer jacket) ... </p> <p>LOL. I guess I haven't had to pick anyone outof a line up yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaaaaigh-everyone-looks-the-same/page/2#post-465724 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:04:04 +0000 ironkurtin 465724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"You could line up MaryK, Rae, me, and whomever else is buying the UWP sweater, even in skinnies and boots, and we'd all look different."</p> <p>You're on. Do it. You have the UWP sweater, the skinnies, and tall boots. Make it all look different enough that I could pick you out of a lineup. Show me! </p>
