Is it bad that I agree with this?

Humans covet. Even the swanky ones do.

Oh God yes! I love fashion. I think it is both a wonderful daily creative expression for the wearer and a fascinating social commentary. I love seeing what "new" combinations of shapes and fabrics each season will present. But, I take that information and edit it for my own taste. I don't choose to wear every style and shape that out there just because it is popular. It has to fit my own personal style. But, I AM influenced by the current style makers and I readily copy the shapes of contemporary styles (I also copy the shapes of vintage styles as well).

I'm not inheriently super creative. I do a lot of copying with everything "creative" I do. I thank GOD there are really creative individuals in the world that I can be influenced by.
