My neighbor's kid just asked why all my designs look the same

I was showing her some sketches and she pointed out every jacket had the same collar shape. She said, 'It's like you're scared to change it.' I've been using that same cut for three years without even noticing. Has anyone else gotten stuck in a design rut like that?

Yeah, that's just how habits work. You find something that feels safe and you stop seeing it. I see it with how people arrange stuff on store shelves too.

Habits make you see patterns you'd otherwise miss.

Totally get that... my own bad habits have me seeing patterns that aren't even there. Like I'll put my keys in the same dumb spot every day, then freak out when they're not there, convinced someone moved them. Probably just left them in the door again.
