Anna, has it occurred to you that, when you can't find what you are seeking, that's because you're the one who is supposed to create it?

I know your schedule is INSANE. But maybe take some of the time you spend browsing other people's blogs, searching - and start writing and planning. Even if you do one great post every six weeks, we would all go crazy for it

Anna, I was flabbergasted to see you mention me! That is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me (at least fashion wise). Thank you and so happy to see you around.

Anna, I also thought... maybe you're talking about fashion as art. Fashion as not only a reflection of our culture, but also as a critique of it, or as a proposal for something new. I quite like that thought. I've met some people who dress this way over the years and I always admired not only their aesthetic sense but also their bravery.
If you find anything like this, please share... (Or maybe... a fashion blog is too mainstream for someone more avant-garde!)

"gussied up normcore"

Ok, what a great turn of phrase, Anna! I know what you mean. There's a certain amount of pretending now, that the unextraordinary is extraordinary. Not to mention, there's another step or two, after well-put-together, to having style.

And then there's artistry, which is beyond that.
