“Why does wewearclothes have to have a “purpose”? Can’t something just be pleasing to a group of people to take part in or look at, without needing a philosophical framework guiding its existence?!”

- Micah’s response to the tumblr debate we had over the purpose of We Wear Clothes

i think i agree with him more than i did with myself. it is pictures of people’s outfits and i enjoy looking at it and participating in it. who needs a motive or purpose?

If you do something simply because you enjoy it then there’s your motive and purpose right there. Simple enjoyment could be one of the best motivations you can have for anything.

I was never looking for some kind philosophical guideline for WeWearClothes, I just wanted to know why you were doing it, because I couldn’t figure it out on my own, as it didn’t seem that fun to me.

I’ve made my suggestions because I thought there might be more efficient ways to meet your goals as what I understood them to be, but by all means you should always do what you feel right for you.

I mean, that’s the whole point of this fancy internets, right? The exchange of ideas and opinions.

I’ve always found that if you can’t give some kind of answer (even just “I like it”) to the simple question of “Why are you doing that?” then what you’re doing is probably not worthwhile.
