I, like so many others out there (i hope) do not like walking down the street and seeing someone dressed exactly like me...In fact I do not like having someone with the same idea as me when it comes to putting together outfits. Realistically, I recognize that due to a lack of my own personal cobbler, tailor and accessory designer, odds are I would be running into someone with an item I claim as mine. HOWEVER, there is a major difference between sharing a piece of clothing (which as long as the other party in question rocks it the right way I totally appreciate the commonality) and looking like we attend the same boarding school!
With the boots, sweater and tights combo however, I have learned to accept my fate as a victim of jumping on a combination someone other than me invented. In coming to this realization, I get a little consolation in the fact that it is a practical and quite comfortable outfit for the current weather. I do not need to perpetually hold my breathe due to the loose nature of the top, walking around in tights feel like walking bottomless and the boots provide the warmth, comfort and style needed to go from walking the mall (a few times) to meeting a pal at the closest bar without feeling overdressed or underdressed in either scenario.
For the aforementioned reasons, I am therefore proud to assert (in this instance and this instance ONLY). My name is Janet, and I AM A Fashion Victim!
Any other victims out there??

Guilty as charged. I've found that if I take fashions like these and mix them in with the stuff I already own, I can usually come up with a more unique look.
Also, a random note: I really want a pair of gray riding boots. I'd settle for black or brown. I so wish I had money for boots right now.
Thanks for commenting on my blog: as far as hobbies go, I'd say yours is fashion. I mean c'mon, between trying to follow up all the latest trends and designers and figuring out how they apply to your life...that's a full fledged hobby right there. Anyway, I like what you write, so I'll be checking back from time to time, and thanks again for the comment.
I have to admit that I've been wearing the wide belts with my clothes. I really like that trend.
