I was looking for graduation dresses a couple of years ago and i followed a link to Polyvore and saw all the amazing dresses so i signed up. Now these days i am always getting inspiration to help me develop my styling skills as someday I would love to get into styling for a fashion magazine. A massive thankyou to the creators of Polyvore!! xx

My cousin told me to read some really bad love story on quizilla. There was a link describing what the girl was wearing and it lead me here! I stopped reading and made an account here. I'm still new but, I love this site!

This is my Polyvore story... I've always loved dress up games. I went from dressupgames.com to stardoll.com (back then it was called paperdollheaven.com) then to roiworld.com. Then one day I found THIS incredible site through Facebook. I been here everyday since! I've been through every single change this site has gone through. Dealing with fashion on Polyvore has actually inspired me to work towards a job in publishing (particularly fashion magazines). I've fallen in love with the idea of being an "editor". (I've also at one point considered studying Computer Science so I could maybe work WITH the Polyvore team believe it or not.) Well...that's my Polyvore story. 5 years & still going strong...

Polyvore is like a magical world where it doesn't matter how much money you have, how thin you are or what people think of you. You can create whatever beautiful things you dream of and nothing can stop you. It's like the Willy Wonka factory of fashion. Polyvore has taught me to be bold and helped me discover my true style.

Encontré Polyvore cuando estaba buscando páginas sobre moda y conjuntos, Cuando entré acá y pude ver que se podía crear, no paré más, me encanta! He aprendido mucho sobre como colocar los objetos, principalmente sobre moda, los variables estilos de los demás miembros, el hecho de que sea libre elección poder colocar diferentes objetos y cada día mas se abran mas items como cortar diferente, los colores, etc. En fin... Aunque digan que paso mucho tiempo en Polyovre, me encanta! Kisses.

I found Polyvore accidentally on Fanfiction. Someone referred to a set she made here. I still remember her name: breathefashion. When I had to choose a name for myself, I thought of the girl who introduced me to this amazing website and therefore I chose justbreathefashion. Sadly enough I can't find her profile anymore... Polyvore has definitely made me a different person. I get so inspired by all these amazing people and their unique style here on Polyvore. I've made amazing friends who share my passion for fashion and I can talk to them about things I can't talk about with my 'real life' friends. It's as if you sometimes find your fashion soulmate :) But most of all, I know much more about fashion now. I had never heard of Elie Saab or Coco Chanel before I visited Polyvore... Now I think I can say I know a lot. Sometimes people look really weird at me when I can say which brand every clothing piece in a magazine page is... Haha. The 'bad' side of Polyvore is that I am now realllly addicted to fashion and would like to do something in fashion, but that isn't easy. First of all there aren't many schools where you can study fashion journalism (none in my country) and secondly there are hardly any jobs... So I'm afraid I'll have to give up that dream. Anyhow, I'm proud to be a fashion and Polyvore junkie and when you'd tell me how much I would love this website a year ago I wouldn't have believed you. So thank you Polyvore for making life a much more happy place! Much love from Belgium xoxo

Well, I used to be on TheSims2 making lots & lots of outfits (again neglecting my watercolor painting!!) & had a group of friends there. One of them, in 2008, told me about this new site on the internet where I could make collages of outfits - she said it was called Polyvore!!! Polyvore? What could that be about? So I had to check it out. I did and never turned back!!! I still haven't gotten back to full time watercolor painting, because I love it here too much!! Polyvore has affected me in many ways - mainly it sparked a creative surge that was ebbing a bit. Besides constantly finding new genres in making sets, I've learned a lot about photo-editing & now take more photos with the idea to upload them for set making. I think a lot of us do that now. But one of the best things that has happened by being here are the close friendships I have made. There are so many like-minded people that I've met here, which I don't think would happen in real life. I've even met 5 different Polyvore members in person from all over the world: Scotland, Canada, Holland, and right around the corner from where I live! Lyn from Scotland and her husband came over to the U.S. with the idea of travelling around to different cities, stopping by us for 2 nights - but we hit it off so well, that we invited them to stay a whole week. It was wonderful and I still miss them. Then we were on a cross-country trip through Canada, and stopped off at Lynne in Toronto, and spent two days with she and her whole family, including lots of the 4-footed kind. They were just wonderful to us. Then, the two gals from Holland came to NYC, so we went up there (an hour & half drive) to meet them and again, it felt like we knew them all our lives. And the gal who lives near me, well we've been getting together for lunches a lot, so it's been good to make a friend who lives only 4 miles away. Anyway, I hope I haven't gone on too much, and I know I've told you before that you are the best team, always caring about what we think, and always there on the spot if there are problems. But, you know, I have to keep saying it - you are the best!!!! xoxo Ellen (Hilart)

I can only imagine how Polyvore may affect my life, since it's only been a couple weeks since discovering this fantastic website. This I know for sure, Polyvore has helped me get dressed. My closet is full, and yet, at times, I declare, "I have nothing to wear!" I can now cultivate my fashion sense at the convenience of my keyboard. Gone are the days of pulling clothes off their hangers and flinging them on the bed (and floor). Thanks, Polyvore!

I first discovered Polyvore when I searched song lyrics on google images and a set popped up. I clicked on it because it looked so beautiful. Then I became addicted - now I run a successful fashion blog, am a retail assistant at a clothes store and strive for stylishness. Polyvore has made me much more conscious of my individuality and has taught me how to express it.

Before I found polyvore, I couldn't have cared less about how I dressed. I would thrown on any random clothes. But my mom, a fashion designer, recommended this website she heard from a friend. So I tried it out and now I'm addicted to polyvore. I wear more stylish things and I have been successful in getting some of my friends and siblings to join! :)

I was looking for a way to pin my outfit ideas on Pinterest but couldn't figure out how to put multiple .jpgs together and save it so I could upload my ideas until I came across a Polyvore user and now it's super easy! The user I followed had hundreds of outfits and inspired to begin putting together matches of my own.

POLYVORE! i am very disappointed in how you're people are handling cyber bullying issues. step it up, and deal with the people please! we report bullying to you for a reason, so that you can handle the situation, when just blocking the bully isn't enough. seriously --> http://www.polyvore.com/1751_contact_polyvore_please_help/set?id=54701429

Polyvore has introduced me to digital paper dolls, roleplays, and collages. They're so fun to do! Also, it has helped me love fashion a lot more. I always thought fashion was a waste of time but Polyvore introduced me to such cool new things! I love helping people out with their questions and going through people's amazing sets. Although becoming a designer or make-up artist is somewhere that I more than likely won't go (fashion's more like a hobby), I'm definitely staying here for a long time.
