Let's Talk About
The Same?
9 years ago by
There’s a Tumblr I love…
… and the worst best part is that it never ends, you can just keep scrolling through thousands of images that all make so much sense together. It’s inspiring, but have you noticed everything kind of looks the same lately? It’s somewhere between normcore and classically cool.
I just want to know what you think about it? Have we met our match and found an ultimate ideal look for the modern woman? Or is everyone too scared to take a chance?

Super interesting to think about – I think what’s in today, the minimalism, natural beauty is so easy and simple and feels too good to wander too far from. Love your prompt to think about this though!
Warm Regards,

Ah ouais moi aussi je suis ce Tumblr et comme toi, je trouve que tout se ressemble (même si j’aime bien) et ça me fait totalement flipper ! Je pense juste que c’est à cause du phénomène des “like” qui pousse les filles à toutes se cloner afin d’obtenir ces fameux like. Pfff quelle tristesse !

I love this tumblr, too. This is just what we like now. It will change in a few years. The pendulum will probably swing from earthy, cool, humble, natural minimalism to sexy, lacy, velvet, goth, Victorian etc.
I am all for minimal but am tried of seeing the same things over and over. Even bloggers are all doing the same exact poses it boring. I’m a woman not a robot. I don’t want to be like everyone else. But not crazy either. Risk can be fun. But the only risks seem to be so far out there in the fashion world that use normal people cannot even fathom wearing them.
This is exactly why I love your blog posts and photos. It’s all your own and is so inspiring.
Celine and Jil Sander ( with Raf Simmons ) really perfected this look several years ago…I blame the internet age for all the sameness. Blogs, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram. We can all follow each other electronically and like a community we take fashion cues from each other, the difference is now the community is accessible to anyone and everyone at all times. I miss magazines, it was slower and you picked and chose what worked for you.
I’m trying something new by going with major coat game, in Spring. San Francisco has this horrible 60 degree weather trend with no end in sight and instead of complaining and shivering my way through i am layering and wearing my coats i didn’t plan to take out until Fall. Its for the best, Fall here is about 80 degrees and winter about 70..we are so backwards. I also wear tights year round so i am all about it and i plan to add some pins and brooches everywhere for something a little different.
I think I just found my new addiction

Notised!
Jeans et chemise c’est l’uniforme!!!
Ce tumblr est le reflet de la tendance du moment. Bizarrement, quand on aime la mode, on est influencé par la mode et cela nous place en position de mouton malgré nous, pour certains. Ce que je déplore, c’est effectivement ce minimalisme, ce manque de recherche, de couleurs, chez la plupart des blogs et tumblr. Beaucoup de anciennes blogueuses se reposent sur leurs acquis, et ne sont plus dans la proposition, l’ouverture. C’est un peu ennuyeux tout ça…Moi je suis pour la couleur à fonnnnnnnd!!

This is the SECOND time in the history of human civilization, where we have one of the BIGGEST LIBRARIES known to man: The Internet. The FIRST was the Library of Alexandria. Alexander the Great comissioned it, when he saw how fruitful it was to spread knowledge. Do you think he wanted to lose his massive empire….Hell No! Unfortunately, it was burned to the ground by an opposing group. DUMBASSES. Spiraling another wave of Dark Ages. Then the clouds lifted…The Internet was BORN! I think its lazy to say its all been done…..I think taking for granted something so important, as the Internet IS Idiocracy. So lets try to protect it. Believe me, NOBODY wants another Dark Age to happen again. WE need the Internet to help us HEAL our planet & our human evolution. Lots to think about…. =)
I like to think that we don’t want to follow many stupid trends changing every six months anymore but just wearing comfortable, simple and chic clothes. I would wear this TIMELESS “uniform” for the rest of my life ! I hope it will keep going !
I have pondered upon this myself quite a few times. I still don’t have one conclusive opinion. Just like everything it’s something that can be seen from two sides. Yes, it is a timeless, chic way of dressing and at the same time very modern but I think that at some point, due to our overexposure to it, we start to see it as the only right way to dress, the easiest, the most elegant. What I’m coming to is that perhaps some of us have stopped using our imagination in our outfits and have fun with them, try new things or even add our personal flair to this minimalistic way of dressing. Some who used to be more adventurous dressers may have surrendered to the inherent comfort and ease of this look, which is not bad at all but maybe not for all the time.
