Copy vs. Inspiration
5.12.09
There are a lot of things I hate and one of them is COPYING. I have never been copying somebody´s style or things. Because you will never look like the person who is the original. Never. You will never have the style, the pomposity and the charisma of this person. But a lot of people don´t know this yet. And I think lot of them will never find out.
Of course, on the other hand, there is a INSPIRATION. Everybody has some. Your inspiration can be some celebrity, model, blogger or the person in your vicinity.
You can wear skirt on the same manner as your friend. Or buy coloured nylons as your neighbour has. But please, don´t wear it in the same way as she. It could be a copying.
That´s currently my case. One year ago I started to wear my shirt in my skirt ( Do you know what I mean? ). A lot of my classmates said, that is ugly or awful and I should wear it on my hips. But I didn´t. Few months after this incident they started to wear it as me. Because it started to be a hit. I can say, that I was happy and angry, because it´s great to be a trendsetter in your vicinity, or just an inspiration. This was one from quite lot cases.
And copying. I bought these shoes after my friend, because she told me, that she get them just for 25 euro. I wanted to buy them when they had cost 50, but it was a big price for poor material. I think, this is not copying. What is your opinion?
But when somebody bought these shoes just because I or my friend have them, it is definitely a copying. And this really happens, one girl get these shoes after I show her mine!!
I´m not super original, but I have my style, my inspiration, my closet. It´s a pity, that someone can´t find them.
What is the worst thing in closet? To have nearly everything after seeing it on somebody. Then thinking you´re perfect and stylish. But you are just a collage. You are a big COPY.

Euurgh, I quite like people taking after my style, because I'm quite outrageous, and everyone seems to like it or hate it. In my school, when its no uniform days, I quite like to dress up, and everyone will wear jeans or somethng, and I'm like, thats what everyones wearing, and I feel unique and confident.
OdpovedaťOdstrániťBuut, what really annoys me is: recently it has been people's birthday's, so I buy this particular card, that I found, and I thought it would be sort of like a signature card for me, no-one elses i.e my friends.
But what my best friend does is buy the card for me and others, and it seriously annoys me, because its my cards not hers, even though there from a shop, that doesn't have my name on it or anything, but it really did annoy me, because they were my cards.
bleurgh, bleurgh, hope you understand my rant!

OdpovedaťOdstrániťand of course the shoes are ADORABLE ! Lovin' them all

thank you
Tie topánky sú fakt úžasne, veľmi sa mi páčia:) Ja si kupujem a nosím veci hlavne také, čo sa mi páčia. Niekedy si niečo kúpim, lebo to niekto má a veľmi sa mi to páči...a niekedy zasa idem úplne proti prúdu, je to relatívne:)Niekedy sa mi na niekom páči nejaká vec, no na mne vyzerá hrozne, takže si ju samozrejme nekúpim...Nenosím trendy, keď sa v tom necítim dobre:)
OdpovedaťOdstrániťThose boots are awesome, love the coloured tights too! And your great at posing!
OdpovedaťOdstrániťxx
i agree with almost everything, that you´ve written, but I dont see anything wrong on getting inspired by someone who lives in your area...its the same when you get inspired by someone you dont know :)
OdpovedaťOdstrániťbut I undestand, that you get annoyed, when somebody copies you. Be happy, that you´re style icon :)
and I´m from Handlová, boring city, I cannot wait to move out. And where are you from?..and about those fashion school. Yes, its hard to get in, but I´m gonna to try it, cause I cannot imagine my future on some slovak university..bleah
