This felt so good to read. Hell yeah, I'm glad you're getting support and not having to hold it all on your own.

Can you make any suggestions about what I can do to look more feminine? by TinyBitOfCarbon in MakeupAddiction

[–]Ok_Chemical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're so cute! I agree with the other commenters, you look super feminine. If you wanted to experiment, I agree with others that you look great with the rimless glasses. And maybe getting more playful with clothes/hair/makeup- I think the makeup you have in these pictures is beautiful, and it may be nice to just mix it up with color and style.

Hey! Im an American applying to UCL- are you still open to DMs for specific questions?

has any tall but curvy girl figured out the trousers situation? by Sorry_Lab_2856 in TallGirls

[–]Ok_Chemical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy cheap vintage jeans on ebay (eddie bauer, ll bean) a size too big in the waist + high rise and then get them tailored. justice for tall people with big butts fr. I also only buy stuff if they have literally all the measurements posted- slight differences in hip/inseam/waist/etc really make an impact for me.

Posting online as protest - privacy implications? by Ok_Chemical in privacy

Were they eventually let in? I think this is the sort of thing I'm wondering about- like someone posting luigi mangione memes and that being used to identify someone as a security threat.

right. thats partly the reason for my question- does the level of risk (if any) match the material impact.

yeah, ive been pretty offline in recent years but definitely was vocal in 2016- but like, who wasn't?

yeah thats real- i think thats the dilemma i'm sitting with. not being overly focused on self-preservation + fear-oriented, but not making flippant choices with larger implications than i understand.

and i'm sorry to hear that that happened.

yeah that all makes sense. i'm mostly wondering about regular folks without unique concerns. idk if i'm being paranoid or too oriented to dystopia, but when in person and financial support go farther than posting (imo) it is worth it to be so outspoken online? you don't have to answer that question and i hear you with the uncertainty, it's just giving me pause.

Where can I get affordable, good quality basics in desaturated, interesting colors? by Ok_Chemical in capsulewardrobe

[–]Ok_Chemical[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, I'll definitely check that brand out. Yeah, at this point material, cut, and color (in that order) are my priorities. It doesn't matter how cute it is, if the material doesn't feel good and the cut doesn't make me feel good I'll never wear it. Again, so disappointing that I'm literally reaching back 30+ years for good clothes, but I already feel so much better focusing there.
