I do not like 'copying' someone's look. If I like what someone is wearing you can bet I will be adding my own twist to it. I don't make any effort to dress according to what's in fashion (unless of course it's going to highlight my toned body *wink*). If I already own something which is in fashion then it's another story, though!
9 out of 10 times I can also create a new look with stuff I already own. I just simply have to mix & match my accessories and shoes and - Voila! I am brand new!
Someone had recently honored me with the title - nonconformist and I carry it with pride. I do not like to wear something just because it's in fashion. I like to wear my mood! and it would be very out-of-character for me if I didn't agree that I LOVE it when people stop by to compliment or when their heads turn to get a second look (not at me, but my clothes I assume)!
Very fashionable description of your addiction! Hats (they in fashionn na? ;-) ) off!!
