Goodness, no, I'm generally very sure, in my mind, about what looks good on me and what doesn't. Now, whether the clothes actually look good is up for debate. And since I've posted maybe two or three images EVER on this site, I can't even ask you guys what you think. lol

Honestly, though, that's probably part of the reason I don't really post pics. I'm normally not looking for feedback. I know what I like and I'm pretty confident about my choices. I participate because I'm looking for ideas, sometimes, or advice about a product or idea. And I'd be dishonest if I neglected to mention that the bored housewife part of me likes the pleasant distraction and intelligent conversation you get on YLF....

Interesting question Anna. I don't post a lot of K/Rs because once I actually get around to taking a picture that usually pretty much seals it for me. I do like to get feedback on my outfits because I realize they are not everyone's taste and I am curious which ones work for more people. There are a few things I am not sure I should continue to keep, and ideally I would post more K/Rs, but in my case the R is usually rethrift so the urgency and investment just aren't there. That said I working on a big purge and may find myself posting some things I am torn about.

I do a lot of K/R's. I love the feedback, and I love reading other K/R's. I've learned a lot from my own and others, particularly about how things should fit.

I thrifted most of my clothes for so long that settled for sorta-fits too often.

Also, I'm still uncertain about my style, but getting more certain with time.

Great question, Anna!

I do trust my own instincts, but also greatly appreciate the feedback of others. Most of the time it confirms what I already saw myself and I tend not to reveal own thoughts when I don't like something so as not to influence and get honest feedback When that happens I celebrate my own instincts since they are confirmed.. I also appreciate when someone else's perspective is insightful and something that never crossed my mind. If happiness factor is high I can't contain myself and to indicate that.

I trust my own style and I'm quite decisive about what I like but fashion is social to me and I enjoy talking about it, sharing, and getting new ideas from others. Photos are a part of that but I haven't shared any since 1) I don't love the idea of pictures of me being publicly available on the internet, and 2) I don't think my style would be quite approved of around here =) I commit "grown-up fashion" faux pas all over the place!

I'm actually very certain of my style generally, but not as certain of my judgment, if that makes sense. Often an obsession with a look makes me los sight of PPP. Fit and flattery are often where I lose track because when I love something my judgment is clouded.

I generally don't trust my style instincts and I often question my taste, partly because it seems to be so difficult for me to find clothes that I like. Is that because my sense of taste is so badly off-kilter that current fashion looks wrong to me? But on the other hand, sometimes I try trendy stuff on and it is so extremely unflattering, and not in a cool and deliberate way, that I have to wonder what the designer was thinking.

My sense of what is flattering is also badly clouded by a long-standing view of myself as being irredeemably ugly, so that I am often inclined to just wear whatever seems to fit and cover my body in a socially acceptable way without really trying to be stylish. This is a very conflicted position for me, though, because if I really believed that I was so hopeless then obviously I wouldn't be here on YLF, right?

I have good instincts, but sometimes our judgement is affected.
For me, that happens a lot when I leave home with something that doesn't make me happy and when I'm in the dressing room, EVERYTHING seems a lot better. That's when I use YLF app to ask for a neutral and honest opinion!

Um, that's kinda the point (speaking only for myself of course). I'm here because whatever style instinct I have is not good. I'm also not very visual, and I need to have both words and pictures to figure out why something works/doesn't work. This is one of the real strengths of Angie/ylf (again, for me) vs. a typical magazine or blog - WORDS to explain the pictures. Anyway I'm getting off track from your question. But people here are at different phases of their fashion "journey" and have different goals.

I like to post K/R's, as I think it's always helpful to have a second set (hopefully more!) of eyes look at an item of clothing. I used to purchase things because they were on sale and fit nicely, now I am trying to refine my style and be choosy. With my most recent K/R:
KUT Catherine Vs. Loft Modern Crop: K/R ??
I knew I liked the KUT's better, but wasn't so sure about the fit after I looked at the picture. My judgement is also clouded by the fact that BF jeans are my new style favorite, and by the fact that these are a very close replica of my favorite white jeans that they are replacing. As for the banded tops, my best friend Wendy thought they looked great, but I wasn't so sure about the boxy fit - it's not something I'm used to wearing.

I also enjoy the back-and-forth discussions and honest opinions, regardless if someone shares the same style with me or not.

I think this speaks to why I joined the forum (Hi, I'm new here!). I haven't gotten around to posting outfit pictures yet, but I'm looking forward to it--I want the feedback. Like others have said, I think I have a pretty good sense of flattery and proportion. My problem is that I have trouble letting go and having some fun with my clothes. I'm a sewer (my dream is to one day have a completely hand-made wardrobe), so I'm hyper-critical of the construction quality and fit. I also think I suffered one too many teenage dressing room traumas. I was overweight as a teen, and remember many purchases that were made because I needed something, anything, and the garment fit. I had "dressing too old for your age" down to an art form.

All that being said, I do have a picture of my stylish self in my head, and I know that my clothes now don't reflect the mental picture. And I'm single, 31, with a modest disposable income and regular access to shopping in two stylish cities (Sydney and London)--I have no excuses. I need the feedback so I can get out of my own way and stop letting the image of the perfect garment in my head become the enemy of the fabulous garment on the rack.

(Edited for poor grammar)

I have not yet posted a photo. It is because I am still trying to get it right. I am confident with my own style, but ylf gives me a guage. I am in my 50's, and never thought I could wear some of the things I do, distressed jeans, and converse, I thought I was too old until I seen some of the ladies here.

Queueing behind Rachy.

Also, while I usually have a good idea wht I want, I think I lack objectivity about how well I'm achieving it. Maybe it is more unflattering than I think. Maybe there is something off that I don't notice in person. This is worsened by not having a full-length mirror.

A LOT of the time I just don't know if something is current or oh-so-over.

Also fear that most of the time wht I think looks just great the world finds frumpy or too out-there. Wait, did Rachy just cover tht under nuts or not.

(OKay, excuse bonkers spellings. This qwerty pad requires more practice!)

I really don't trust mine . . .

I generally trust my instincts except when trying something new. I have a hard time adjusting my eye to new trends on me. That's why I love the K/R--it helps me see what more fashion forward people think!

I don't do many K/R posts because I can usually tell right away whether something fits or not. Sometimes I just can't tell though and want another opinion that's more informed than DH. I also like to get second opinions on a silhouette or new styles that I'm not very familiar with yet.
