does anyone else find themselves disappointed to learn that actually they're more often than not 'just working a look' rather than the genuine article?

I shouldn't be surprised by this, I mean 'indie' has been the default look for a massive proportion of teenage girls and 20/early 30 something women for a few years now.

But, you stroll around in your faded Levis, retro track tops, 'distressed' cardigans, Top Shop standard issue Sonic Youth tees, battered cons and badge adorned vintage leather jackets whilst the bangs from your ever-so-slightly angular hairstyle pokes out from beneath those cute little tea cosy style beanies that all pretty girls must now wear BY LAW, so you can understand our confusion, surely?
