While I always ask before reposting another blogger’s image, I’ve never asked permission to copy an outfit. Personally, I consider it flattery. How about you? There is currently a discussion on style imitation at You Look Fab.

I agree, it's flattery. And I love your interpretation. I may just have to copy you!
I've been on the prowl for a houndstooth skirt. Now I want one even more.

Love it on both of you!
B&W pattern mixes are my favorites.
You do inspire me to mix patterns- but you do it so much better than I have- I am a timid mixer.

Adorable! I love the mixture of prints. Great boots, too!
but what did you wear for the Super Bowl? green and black? yellow and yellow?
:]
...bill - I didn't wear green or black or yellow! And the outfit totally wasn't bloggable. (But you'll see a bit of it in a special post I'll publish on Feb 10.)
Kasmira- this outfit rocks! And thank you so much for featuring me. You are equally inspiring me to do an even bolder pattern mix!
You look great!
I think you do a great job pattern mixing!
I haven't outright copied anyone (yet), but I've been inspired by several bloggers (including you). I usually try to mention who the inspiration was, if I can remember it!
I always love what you mix up..I bet there are others learning from you!!
LOve both versions of the outfit.
I think as long as you give credit where credit is due, we come out all as winners. Personally I take it as a huuuge compliment when I hear that a fellow blogger was inspired by my dress.
PS YOU ROCK!
Win! Great mix.
It makes total sense.
LOVE this combo. I have a hounds tooth dress that is more evening wear but I always wanted a way to wear it to work! NOW I can..a striped shirt over it along with a cardigan is the solution! More bang for my buck! This is brilliant.
BTW--imitation is flattery. When some one can take inspiration from an outfit and recreate it to fit their own style/personality is a huge compliment. I only find it annoying when someone plagiarizes style--like a carbon copy of your outfit...
current facebook status: 'my outfit isn't bloggable.'
I love this! I am totally inspired by this and want to try something with black and white patterns when I am done with the 30 for 30! I think being inspired by other bloggers is awesome and that is part of why we blog - to inspire others. I think that if you give credit to your inspiration that is all that matters.
so cute! great job print mixing
So I voted against the pattern mixing on the poll that you did a few posts back, but this post opened my eyes. I'm pro mixing if it's from the same color palette. I love these patterns mixed up!! You look faboo.
Man, those are two patterns I would never think to mix (probably because I don't have anything houndstooth-y) but what a cool final effect! I looove it. I just came across your blog via the academicchic scarf bibliography and am promptly adding you to my GoogleReader! Nice to meet you :)
