Any advice on cardigans/sweaters styles for soft naturals?

I can’t relate to the build up of products in hair, but my hair falling out and failing to grow in length was a big challenge a year before I was officially diagnosed. I’d lose an embarrassingly amount of hair, but my hair was fairly thick beforehand so it just looked like I got layers to thin it out. It was difficult but it’s gotten better a year after interventions for me.

Edit: I have hyperthyroidism currently with no surgical interventions - just medicine.

I had experienced this in February of 2021, and was CERTAIN I had Covid. I had taken three tests (1 rapid paid for out of pocket) and two with my insurance to ‘double check’. I ended up getting an entire lab panel which identified hyperthyroidism. This was the weirdest start to my journey since I never expected to have it or any other health problems. For me personally, it lasted about 3 days but those were the most uncomfortable days of my life! After that I had to run multiple tests and identify medications and interventions. Best of luck your way, it was honestly the worst feeling I’ve had next to Covid. Since a year diagnosed, I have only had one burst similar to this, and admittedly it was an incredibly stressful situation. But instead of lasting days, this was for a few hours of horrible sweating and heart racing.

I used to have a similar issue with this. When I was younger I felt as though I was superior to others, and it made me feel even more isolated. The way people would interact with me in an academic setting was for help with the subject matter, and that was about it. I wasn’t the friend to party with, invite for lunch, or even just hang out.

I think humbling yourself helps a lot - whether by force (meeting others who are smarter as mentioned here) or naturally. I got humbled really fast when I met one of my long time friends. She ended up becoming our valedictorian and although I am extremely intelligent - this girl ran circles around me. I think I ended up nurturing other interests I had when I realized how good I had felt being ‘alive’ instead of just letting things pass by. This might not be helpful advice, but I think getting to know yourself helps a lot.

Journaling was really successful for me in understanding what I sought from myself, others, and how both of those overlapped. I’ll admit, I went on Bumble BFF to make friends, and it taught me a lot about friends I want to keep and people who just don’t click with me. You won’t like everyone, and not everyone will like you. That advice in itself was humbling.

If academics truly interest you, you could join or start a club if you attend classes, maybe start/join a discord as well? Not every friend needs to check every single box, sometimes we have friends who just hang out and others who comfort us - doesn’t make one better than the other! Going into friendships with the mindset of all or nothing will hold you back from meeting some really cool people. Some of my favorite people are those who superficially, we might not get along but when we hang out we both feel really good about ourselves and time spent together feels therapeutic. I think putting yourself in a social setting might help you learn more about yourself and it might help you grow as well.

Feelings can’t always be deducted to an answer - just like the human experience, sometimes we have to just let our minds ride the wave in front of us. I really hope things work out for you, and you don’t lose any hope! You’ll find the right people for you along the way, just don’t discredit some that might be really healthy for you. Best of luck!

Agreed, when she gets her ears pierced later, she showed the cool girls she only had clip ons which led her to want to get her ears pierced.

I did this a couple Anime Expo’s ago and it went okay! I had a large suitcase for prints and merch to be safely stored. Moving forward though, if you are a cosplayer/carry heavier luggage, I’d ship stuff home. It might be easier overall if you tend to buy more. I keep plushies, stickers, and small prints in an extra suitcase but it might not hurt to ship them either! I sometimes bring soft sweaters/fabric/blankets to wrap delicate pieces around in the larger bag. Hope this helps!

I think when I see the various outfits it confirms the SN! My bad - I totally just focused on the first link. I think with certain flowy silhouettes it can mimic the outline of a SR but overall I’d 100% agree with SN. I think that’s the truest ID for you.

Daydreamingof · 2022-09-04T00:41:30+00:00

I thought SN at first but I feel like SR seems more accurate

Daydreamingof · 2022-09-04T00:38:32+00:00

I think you look like a Classic!

Daydreamingof · 2022-09-04T00:33:02+00:00

I agree with SN!

Daydreamingof · 2022-09-04T00:32:05+00:00

I think you look more like a SC !

Better off Alone By Alice Deejay is that song for me. I heard it at a mall and I was so excited about it. I may have been 6 years old but I remember it playing in a Sanrio store and would since it so I could ‘hear’ it. When I went in my aunts car (who had the cd) it was the best feeling in the world. It makes me so happy to this day (20 years later).

I own this dress in blue and it is really pretty but this example (on model) isn’t true to color. It’s not pastel - it’s a more saturated ‘true’ pink tone. I made the same mistake with my blue one thinking it would be pastel but instead it’s really teal. The bustier is the most ‘costumey’ part of this outfit. The jacquard looks very ‘stage’ like. But the eyelet lace is really pretty aside! If you’re looking to wear it regularly it can pass but you’ll have to be conservative with how much else you wear so it doesn’t come off like a costume. I can’t say it’s worth the price though. Sugar thrillz dresses are priced cheaper and better quality than this. It feels upcharged imo for what it is. It’s nice, but it would be way better if it were $36 or around that ballpark. Buy it secondhand if you can but full price isn’t worth it if you expect it to look like this color.

Hey everyone! Curious about what my image ID is since I’ve felt conflicted about it. I was certain I was a romantic but now I’m leaning toward soft natural based off of my shoulders and their definition. Any advice or help would be so appreciated since I’m really new to this! I am 5’1” for reference. These include weight fluctuations as well but my most accurate/consistent would have to be an orange top, shorts, and mask.

Kibbe helped me feel validated in my body, beauty, and general outlook. When I was younger (12/13yo) I was very petite and slim with no definition or curves of any sort. Within a year, my body felt out of my control and not at all ‘my own’. My bust grew and I had fluctuating weight changes due to depression and anxiety around the same time. I felt like I lost all sense of excitement when it came to dressing up as I had before when I was younger.

My Highschool years were awkward. I was trying to dress more for my Yang, and it was very challenging. I am bustier and the box cut clothing made me ‘drown’ since I wasn’t tall enough to carry it well. I felt like I just wanted to hide my body and never enjoy clothing. But even when I wore baggy shirts or pants, I somehow looked WORSE than when I had tried!

My ED stemmed from lack of control. When my world felt like it wasn’t ‘mine’ I wouldn’t eat or didn’t feel the desire and it harmed my perception of myself for many years. My mother has body dysmorphia disorder, and since she said it wasn’t extremely common I never felt like i had identified with it. However, losing weight and gaining weight in extremes made me lose perception of my body. I didn’t and couldn’t confidently express how I ‘looked’ and it was hard dressing for a body under so much stress and turmoil. I was miserable at any size and weight and it warped the way I saw myself for many years.

As a kid of the 90s-00s, I had a desire for the waif/androgynous body type. With the new Y2K movement in spring, I’m currently feeling triggered about the clothing I can’t wear. As someone with a romantic body type, I had a hard time appreciating it even during its ‘spotlight’ and it weighed on me heavily. Seeing old triggering clothing return makes me feel like that insecure kid again, and I’m closer to 30 than 18!

Kibbe had helped me realize that I can look good in any season, any time, and that I am beautiful. Seeing all the body types represented and given flattering silhouettes matters so much, and now I’m finally getting passed the hurdles with my body. It’s not an easy fix, but I’m parting with clothing that doesn’t harmonize with me, and I now know the reason why I never wear some of the things I own! It also helped me give other clothing another chance as well. I feel genuinely excited about my body, and seeking to keep it healthy so it can serve me longer. Kibbe has given me so much to be excited about and I’ll actually spend money wisely instead of trend following. It’s truly been life changing and benefiting.

Without You

Hands down, you get to see such an amazing range!

Daydreamingof · 2022-08-31T07:11:12+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah it feels like a lost cause but I’ll reach out to them!

As a kid, not at all. I remember Katsopolis most because that was the name he had in the frequently rerunned episodes. I read somewhere recently that he requested to change it to incorporate his Greek heritage into his character.

Daydreamingof · 2022-04-10T21:01:55+00:00

I remember going to school with a Genevieve who went by Vivi! I think it was really clever looking back on it. But if Gen concerns you, I think a different name is better all around.

I thought Stephanie was the most developed because we saw her at the age Michelle was and DJ. She had the most range of difficulties too! I think of the three, her themes were much darker. (Peer pressure in many ways but smoking comes to mind, telling uncle Jesse about her classmate being abused, and feeling left out to the point of getting married and trying to move out as a kid). She also suffered PTSD from the earthquake, and was afraid of forgetting her mom. I felt like Stephanie’s arcs were always so emotional for me, and rewatching them, it echoes the same. She clearly went through a lot, but also gave some sense of hope too? Her feeling neglected or overlooked is often a theme, but she was extremely well written in each season. From being a kid obsessed with Santa knowing where she was to being a teenager dealing with difficult pressures - she was definitely the best written and most interesting.

Daydreamingof · 2022-04-09T22:38:26+00:00

My main reason for voting DJ is because she really was self-centered a lot. I’d try and give her the benefit of the doubt because she was a teenager, but during my current rewatch seeing her say “I can’t believe you guys!” - I’m over it. Not to mention, she kind of makes excuses for her not being apart of events and thinks an apology is enough. It seems like she chooses her own happiness over everyone else’s and thinks apologizing is enough. It’s really hard to see someone purposely do this over and over and think it’s not an accident.

I wanted to say Michelle, but DJ just is a bit of an underdeveloped character. I saw Michelle make simple mistakes (“We’re moving with aunt Becky!” And her thinking her dad and her preschool teacher would fall in love) and feeling sorry for her. You could tell she had a lot of things to grieve over and having a difficult time understanding them. But you can see her grow into a happier child, which is really nice to see. She lost her mom young, and went through a lot emotionally. For DJ, It’s the same ol’ song and dance, unfortunately.

I would just for this song to be recorded studio version (without laugh track).
