That’s My Look! Personal Best-Ofs from NYFW

When Taylor Swift’s “Style” comes on at the bar, your heart starts to beat a little bit faster because it’s your song playing — that is your jam.

And when a model walks down the runway in an outfit that stops you silly, you Instagram it to the world because that is your look — the one.

You can take the girl out of kindergarten and place her in the real world, but you can’t take the kindergarten sandbox mentality out of the girl — at least not when it comes to the aforementioned music or fashion. It’s over these two realms that we consistently declare immediate ownership.

We’ve touched on the idea of social proprietorship before; that Instagram and Twitter give us a platform to tell others we have great taste without needing to technically own the shoes or sing the song.

Or maybe it tells the world that you have unique taste — or no taste at all, because really, what is taste if not precisely what pleases or displeases your tongue?

Whatever the reasoning, one thing remains: we feel the need to share it. To tell someone else that J.Crew’s pink suede Fall ’15 collection fringe skirt is currently in our emotional possession so that, just in case it’s seen on another human, we retain the claim that it was ours first. And though I really do mean us — Leandra, Amelia, Esther, Charlotte — I also mean you. So after you scroll through the above picks of our respective ten looks from New York Fashion Week, tell us which ones are yours.

And don’t worry about overlap — we’re all adults here. We can share.
