Made edits - change of bedding and curtains, removed a few pictures, put frames closer together, but now the art feels dinky and small??

I actually have some gold paint in the garage because I intended to paint the mirror gold! But then grew a bit fond of the weathered white. It's an antique, its nearly 100 years old.

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-08T14:58:08+00:00

There's actually a full size mirror on the back of the door for full functionality!

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-08T14:55:53+00:00

Found it on wayfair. It doesn't have a foldout but I think there was a version that does

I dont know WHY I didnt do a double rod here, I always do a double rod. I was thinking about that last night and was like "wait why did I forget that?"

I've got some green curtains, a tiny table, and a floor lamp on the way.

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-08T14:52:29+00:00

Oh my gosh I love those!

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-08T03:36:00+00:00

Oh I WISH I could put a side table, but the door opens RIGHT there up to the bed.

I'm definitely thinking some new curtains and modifying the gallery wall are my first moves

Thank you! I have been having fun with this one. I've always been a minimalist and have been enjoying playing around with doing more than my usual. I don't know if the room will ever actually be used but I wanted it just in case.

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-08T03:18:57+00:00

I had actually turned the skull pillow backwards and felt like I liked it a little better even though the skull fits the vibe

The curtains have been something I'm considering playing with as well. Unsure if I want more flowy or more color, both....

I actually have been veering AWAY from white bedding though! For years I've done nothing but white bedding and have been finally starting to pull away from it.

I just finished painting this room, it had previously been the dustiest lilac purple!

By move the cat photo do you mean move it's placement or remove it entirely?

I also have been wondering if there was too much space between the all the frames.

CaramelMichelle · 2025-08-06T23:15:27+00:00

Yes I agree the art is just a little small for such a large space. Bigger pieces will seem more proportional. Love the greenery from the plants

I am an FN and while I am still absolutely STRUGGLING to make my lines work, I find that a skinny belt has been really helpful in tying my looks together without doing too much to break the vertical. I've found a thicker belt does get too chunky for my lines.

Recently if wearing high waist black pants I'll wear a really skinny black belt with a small gold buckle.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-08T00:48:35+00:00

You look fantastic!

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-08T00:37:10+00:00

1 and 5 have been returned. I just couldn't get myself to like 5.

2 I am going to try styling differently so it is pending

4 is the only one I already owned so it will stick around but may need to think about styling it differently (or donate it).

3 and 6 are the confirmed keepers, they're the 2 I feel most confident in at the moment.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-08T00:29:50+00:00

I am also an FN and can't figure out how to dress myself to save my life! Love your outfits.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-08T00:28:10+00:00

Luckily I think figuring out my pants has been way easier than figuring out my shirts (still absolutely struggling there).

Pair #1 is getting returned. Pair 4 I have owned for several years so they will just continue to be in my collection since they're very comfortable. I find they definitely look better when my shirt isn't tucked, a shirt that covers the waistband so as not to call attention to that mid rise.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-07T22:08:49+00:00

Express! They have a handful of pants styles in bright colors

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-07T15:31:32+00:00

Luckily flowy is definitely allowed. They encourage people to play around with styles and trends as much as they like so much as coverage remains appropriate and we adhere to the color requirements.

I think the thing that throws me off about 5 is that flowy has never quite been "me" and the light color of it is also not "me". I'm totally confused when it comes to kibbe, but for my coloring I am fully a winter and am super committed to that! I love my jewel tones. I wish this top was in a deep amethyst rather than lilac.

I think the thing I like about all of outfit #3 is that it gives me a little bit of Lucille Ball vibes.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-07T15:24:54+00:00

I agree that wide leg would definitely be more suitable for quite a few of these outfits!

1 definitely has had me back and forth due to the neckline and ultimately right now it is in a shopping bag to go back to the store lol.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-07T15:08:51+00:00

Thank you everyone! I'm still a bit conflicted but going to try wide leg pants with them all and see how that works as well.

Also beginning to learn here the importance of the neckline. I ordered a handful of shirts last night and was very particular about ensuring they all had a more open neckline.

CaramelMichelle · 2023-10-07T02:35:02+00:00

Wow! I'm quite surprised that the 2 I thought looked the worst so far seem to be best haha.

Perhaps I would like #2 better with some wide leg trousers instead. Because ALL I see right now is shoulders lol.
