(IMO) the Survival of Personal Style

A couple of my recent posts have touched on the notion of personal style. And you have to wonder, what does it mean to have a unique style identity in the vapid sea of commercial 'fashion' that overwhelms the sales floors today? Some people question if establishing a personal identity is even possible anymore.

There are a lot of very cool people out there who claim an independent fashion identity, but who inevitably fall into some readily defined classification. Is it fair? Probably not all the time, but the sad truth is that more often then not we all end up looking alike.

Well there is hope - and the little lady of Sea of Shoes is here to prove it.

Jane Aldridge proves the a true style identity gets crazy shout-outs from all sorts of characters that appreciate both her aesthetic look, and her dedication to rocking it in her own way.

And is there a single pair of shoes on her wall(s) that we're not lusting after??? No. No, definitely not.
