Hey Did, Thx for the positive compliment! I don't comment much because everyone has their opinion on what style is and most importantly, I want readers to enjoy Style Scout for what it is! Here's a perfect quote that someone left recently:
"Style scout seems like a column that targets individual styles. If we saw "normal" styles then we would see profiles of the same "style". If style is a mode of expression, then a style scout ought to seek out unique styles. Though I am not courageous enough to pull off Amanda's awesomeness [who was previously profiled], I can appreciate her individuality."
Hearing that just makes me want to give you all a group hug! Lol!
Seriously, whether it's someone wearing a $2000 shirt or a .25¢ sweater, I hope you, along with others, continue to enjoy the ride as well as respect and appreciate each person's individuality or self expression! Lawrence is a vibrant city with beautiful people. Personally, I'm so thankful for those individuals who allow me to scout them. They are fun, confident, kind, and good-natured. It's great to see when you all appreciate that and leave relevant and positive comments.
Best, Ed
