I will start. First, everyone is so nice. There is no cattiness on here or rudeness that I have ever observed. You get an honest opinion but it is done nicely.
Also, I would feel as comfortable posting about my clothing I got at Wal-mart as I would clothing I got at anthro.
Also, on thread style (which I haven't posted on ), everyone's unique style is appreciated and no one is expected to conform to any particular look.
I like this site because it has so many forum topics, you can post about anything here. I also like the setup of the forum, like how a thread is bumped up when a post is added. Everyone is so nice and I like to get ideas from Threadstyle.
I have always considered myself mostly fashionable, but being a part of this site has completely changed my style for the better. I have been trying to get out of the "black" habit for some time - it seemed like when given a choice I always reached for black. I feel like now my wardrobe is much more colorful & fun.
Everyone is supportive, respectful, & non-judgemental - agree that you aren't expected to "conform" to a designer wardrobe or a certain look / style. I enjoy seeing everyone's style, even if I wouldn't incorporate it into my own wardrobe.
I can come here & chat about the tv shows / current events / pop culture that my real life friends or DH don't know or care about.
Sometimes I just need a second opinion as to whether something I am about to wear is ugly so I don't go out in that looking like an idiot & have everyone talk about me!!!!!

I love this site because of the variety of resources it provides. The information here is valuable, I get at least as much from this site and the archived forums than I do from a paid monthly magazine subscription. I like that so many of the members have been around for so long.

I have always thought of myself as fashionable, but being here has given me new ideas and insight and I think I am even better off now, I love to see how people work in different kinds of pieces and make a look all their own. Everyone is really nice and it is a great place to go when you are bored and have nothing else to do!!
So glad to hear that you're enjoying the forum. That's really rewarding to hear for all of us.
We'd also love to hear your thoughts on the webzine itself. The June issue is now live, and we think the contributors have really outdone themselves out this time. We'd love to hear what you think - there's a thread here (in the letters to the editors section) for your feedback, or follow this link:
