i like pieces that can be played around with. skirts that can double as tops and vice versa. doesn't have to be made with the intent but if its designed in a way that is flexible thats one of the ways (i guess) i like to show my creativity. that also allows me to have the same piece as someone else but not look similar.
i'm a sucker for things that are sheer, i prefer shades of white but i like black and colors as well.
and this

... but I'm still learning.

I also agree with mass. Many a time for me dressing means "oh, shit, i have ten minutes before i have to run out of the house."Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

i don't believe in hard-and-fast rules, but if there is one that deserves a higher spot it's the word whimsical. It's fine to have an appreciation for the clothing, the design philosophies behind them but still maintain a carefree attitude towards the process when applied to yourself...
my rule is, buy whatever you want, and if it's you it'll click with everything else ya got.

yeah this is a much better match for this than the small questions thread...I looked through the first page and couldn't find anywhere else to fit it and didn't think it warranted its own thread...
anyhow, take 2 in the right thread...

How does owning a good number of pieces from a given designer better help you appreciate/interpret/judge subsequent seasons from said designer?
I guess this came to mind when I was looking at the KK Attachment S/S10 thread and I said that I didn't see a whole lot of progression in the current season, but then realized afterwards I was making this statement without owning a single piece from KK; granted, I've handled a fair amount in stores, and tried a few pieces on, but I feel this falls far short of those designers from whom I own a range of pieces.
In particular, I have a good amount of items from the "Continues" umbrella...some original sartoria/CDiem articles, an old-school beat up pair of CDiem boots I got off JohnnyHerb/ebay, newer reverse leather CDiems courtesy of sartorialoft, a few items from M.A+, a pair of pants from Avantindietro, four LUC knits, two LUC pants, two pair of Augusta boots for my lady, a pair of reverse camel leather M.A+ boots coming in the mail (can't wait), etc...essentially, I feel much more connection/understanding/insight when looking at new seasons from these designers than I do when looking at new seasons from CCP or Ann D, simply because I've never owned any CCP (retail is completely outside affordability for me) or Ann D. The progression is much more evident to me, from more salient concerns such as fabric type and silhouette, to subtler aspects such as slight innovation in boot stitching/construction.
Given the much greater depths of most forum members' wardrobes than mine, I wanted to put this out there to get your opinions.
So, to repeat, how does owning a significant number of a given designer's pieces affect your appreciation of their subsequent works?
Also, as a corollary, do you feel any degree of path dependence in designer selection? I'm almost more prone now to continue buying M.A+, LUC, Avantindietro, Augusta, simply because I'm so much more familiar/comfortable with sizing and cuts...I am not who you think I am
