Fashion sets

Haven't posted in a long time. Here's an update on Polyvore alternatives.
I've created most of my fashion sets on Shoplook. It looks like the website is a work in progress, and many of the features are still in development. Anyway, here are some of my sets:







There doesn't seem to be a lot happening socializing wise on Shoplook, but I'm finding it to be easier to work with. Initially, I had trouble filtering some items by price, but that problem seems to have cleared up. I like the selection of clothes on the Shoplook site. You can see I assembled a bunch of outfits in all different styles. Even though I put some of these outfits in one of the younger age groupings, I think they might look a little too mature, I suppose it depends upon what you're doing when you're wearing them.
Now for some Trendme stuff:


Trendme has been tricky to work with, as of late. They've got a sort of video game scoring system that shows users progress on the site, though I'm having a heck of time getting out of the beginner bracket. Maybe something is wrong with it. I think the max points you can get for an individual action is less than 75, and the max level requires almost 2000000 points, so I don't think gaining the max level title is going to happen for me. I've got almost 25000 tumblr posts, but I don't see myself doing the almost 30000 tasks on trendme to get to the max level.
Making sets is tough, too. I was able to upload some stuff, fortunately, and use them, well, it's been tricky. Some of the item filters hide my items, and I have to turn all of the filters off, then, when I want a public item, I have to turn each filter back on. 
Also, I can't get a copy of my sets anymore, and the links don't seem to work. Oh well. Another hang up: a small wardrobe of affordable clothes to select from.
Here's some sets I made on Urstyle:




I'm still really into the whole boho/hippy thing. Also, in the last set, took a walk down grunge lane. I haven't added or uploaded any items, because I'd need the Urstyle clipper and I'm not sure I want to develop a huge collection of apps on my browser. I finally found the price filter, and it's been helpful selecting items. I like the brick-a-brac stuff too, but I seem to be getting near the bottom of that barrel, and so soon too!
So. That's the latest news from the fashion set world.
I hope you enjoyed this post. I wanted to get a couple other posts up, but they seem to be taking an inordinately long time to get together. Hopefully soon. I'm sure you'll find them interesting, or at least diverting.
Hope your Summer has been a good one.
Catchya later.
Ciao.
