Jenn, I'd agree -- but "like" and "like" come in different combinations. For instance -- our preferred colours and (many of) our preferred style modifiers, not to mention our personal colouring and overall appearance are vastly different. We also live in different climates. Yet I feel a very strong kinship to your organized emotional way of shopping and I can appreciate what works for you and in your closet and I adore seeing you in outfits that make you shine. As you said -- I take your comments on my posts very seriously. I know you "get" what I'm up to even if it is different than what you're up to. And that can matter even more than when someone whose style is identical comments!
I could (and would!) say the same about Diana, Sal, Brooklyn, Joy, LaPed, Smittie, the Cat, Greyscale, and many other forum members. (If I don't mention you it's not because you are not one of those people. In fact, I am endlessly surprised by the points of identification.) There are different areas of overlap, of course.
I even feel a kinship with some members who don't post WIWs -- e.g. Gaylene and Gryffin and Eliza. Their written comments are so astute and thoughtful that I feel as if I know them and can trust them and even at times advise them with some semblance of sense!
So, for those who claim there is a preferred aesthetic on the forum, what is that aesthetic, would you say? Because I tend to disagree. I have seen so many preferences illustrated here. From sporty to punk to avant garde to modern classic to retro pin-up to traditional Indian. It is true, most WIW posters lately tend toward some version of modern classic. But that hasn't always been the case. And to the extent it is, it probably reflects the fact that most of us are middle aged and middle class, whatever country we come from.
Angie is a modern classic dresser who likes a hit of femininity, a touch of tomboy, a punch of punk and a bit of prep -- and her preferences will necessarily affect the overall aesthetic of the blog -- although even there, I'd argue that by featuring other fashion bloggers, she makes space for alternative options much more than most Insta posters or bloggers do. If people want to see a different aesthetic represented, they can post their WIWs. I guarantee the forum will open itself to learn from and appreciate their posts and their style. I've seen it happen again and again.
