I love Aureta’s vintage stuff. She wears it very well but looking good is easy when you’re thin and pretty. A better question to ask rather than how hard is it to look fashionable when you have access to designer labels (and gorgeous vintage finds) is how can someone who is just a normal person look fashionable with what they have? Meaning regular bodies, regular budgets, regular lives. How can a regular joe express themselves creatively with clothing? But no one cares about regular people! (the horrors!) which is why fantasy like Aureta’s blog is so nice to look at.

I’m just surprised Aureta is under 40. She is pretty, but she does not look young.

I also happen to have just stumbled upon this, I wish I had been able to comment sooner!

I have recently started to follow Aureta’s blog and I think her style is lovely. She’s another version (yet all her own) of Miroslava Duma, and it goes without saying that I absolutely adore her as well. They both have great taste and admirable courage (because it truly takes courage to go and wear what people would only think of as ‘art’ and place it on their bodies, yes, I’m talking couture.)

When it comes to style, many like to generalize and say that because you are wealthy it is automatically given that you can be very fashionable because you can afford labels. The truth is… it takes someone with great taste to be able to mix and match all the lovely designer items out there and actually make an outfit out of them. Prime example: Paris Hilton. Many may be rolling your eyes at the name of her, but I cannot think of another example of the epitome of lack of style and abundance of wealth, at the same time.

It also takes guts to wear (and rock!) runway looks. It’s not for the everyday passerby who happens to pick up a Vogue every two or so months and then claim they are slaves to fashion. It doesn’t work that way.

Both people with access to couture as well as those who happen to be in a more restricted budget deserve their given respect. I bet that if Aureta, or Miroslava, be it whoever, walked into H&M, Zara, Topsop, whatever, and saw something they liked, they’d buy it, pair it with some fabulous Dolce heels and make the greatest outfit out of it.

Don’t let your circumstances push you away from fashion – there’s something for us all. At different price tags, yes, but that’s the fun of it, isn’t it!? Seeking style – it’s something acquired, earned, that must be embraced by all of us fashion lovers.

I just stumbled upon this and I must say as a new DC transplant, there are many “haters”. Fashion and style encompass alot and I feel as if Aureta does a great job. I am happy for her that she can wear all sorts of great designers and knows how to “work it”. I feel as if a true fashionista would be proud to see other fashionistas finally getting their due instead of the same celebs you see everywhere. Its sad that there was nothing better to critique.

I shall add Aureta’s blog to my list of blogs to follow and I think I will put her on the guest list to some events. Fabulous job Ms. T.

Wow, I didn’t know people in DC were such haters. I’ve met her a few times and she is so sweet and nice. She loves her clothes, but doesn’t really mean anything about her. I like steak and eat it all the time, does that mean anything about me?

She’s a cool girl and does a lot of fundraising.

When Anna Wintour or Karl Lagerfeld declares that it’s ok for Aureta to show her crotch and ass cheek in public for the sake of fashion, then come talk to me. When Aureta is rewarded with her own column in Vogue for essentially doing the same thing that others do for far less money with much more class and style, then come talk to me. When Aureta finally grasps the concept that wearing 7 different designer labels at once = label whore, then come to talk to me.

Mr. Davis II, I couldn’t get through your first diatribe because it was so wordy. However, your second comment was short and to the point, so in response, I must politely decline your offer. You clearly were not an English major. And judging from your writing, I doubt English is even your first language!

And for the record, if Aureta wants to blame someone for all this attention she’s receiving in the comments section, she can blame Juliana for posting her blog link. I’m sure Aureta appreciates the extra hits to her mediocre blog even as we type!

Editing. That’s a good one. Well, Ellipses, I see that not only are you knowledgeable, but also clever. However, I tutor children, but I will make an exception if you wish to take English lessons.

Mr. Clements is quite correct. Let us focus on the overall positive nature of this list and not on our own flaws. This should be a celebratory board.
