Totally agree with you - dress code is about respect. And just because you show that respect doesn't mean you can't inject your own interpretation within reason.

Sometimes it's about how you wear the pieces and mix them. As Lisa already said, mixing things unexpectedly whether it's colours or patterns or high/low, it's all about how you pull it off. And I do agree, the devil is in the details. I love having an heirloom piece that had a story or something I picked up on my travels.

Even if you fall into the trap of buying chain-store apparel, as you say, I think the person's individuality and style can still shine through. It's all in the mix (high/low, vintage/new, obscure/mass market).

Hmm, I think there's only so many 'looks' that someone's style can fall into that in the end everything looks redundant. But for someone who isn't very fashion conscious or open minded then seeing someone dress the 60s or 70s style might just be considered unique in their books. I think it's great that we have so many fashion bloggers out there for inspiration! And it's great we take inspiration from the trends of different eras too. I also agree with jewelry and accessorizing to make an outfit your own.

I think for myself I just wear what I'm comfortable wearing and seeing myself in. As long as I like it and it's appropriate for the event. I think that also plays a big factor, the environment you're in. When there's a dress code, I think I find little ways to break the dress code just to incorporate a bit of me in there unless it's super strict.

I find thrift stores have great unique pieces to make an outfit more personal while helping me stay on trend. : )

This may sound cliche, but I think the attitude/confidence of the wearer is just as important. You and I could be wearing similar outfits, but what makes us stand apart?

Also, I think having a sentimental piece of jewelry or accessory also gives character to an outfit. I have a necklace from my Bestie that I aLmost always wear, and I don't care if it "matches" my outfit or not.

Great post!
