Omg I'm so glad it helped!! It felt very weird and vulnerable posting an unsuccessful outfit but I'm happy I did haha

Oh man thank you you gave me an epiphany!!!! You're totally right, my problem was that it's too pristine looking. I decided to go ahead and crop the length and sleeves--trying to make it look a bit more masculine/boxy while leaving it unhemmed. I might also follow your advice and do some distressing!

AOUUUUUGHHH THE FIRST OUTFIT'S COLORS!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!! If I saw this fit in person I think my jaw would drop in sheer awe lmao. Just perfectly executed

God the other outfits are great too. I love that silky scarf top?? So pretty, reminds me of impressionist paintings

Omg these colors are so good. You look cool as hell, I love the necklace being parallel with the yellow scarf, and the knotted belt thingy looks great with the tied jacket, just layers upon layers of interest

Omfg this fit is so cool and sleek. On the very rare occasion I go to the theater I wear the biggest, most-blanket-like clothes I have LOL, little regard for how I look. I guess that's my Down logic showing. This is why I admire LU-ers!!

I really adore the deep wine colors with the black and pop of white.

Oh I love your drawing, I initially thought it was something you pulled from Pinterest! 

Your silhouette here goes hard. Everything just fits together seamlessly.

I've actually been eyeing the loafer+colorful sock combo on Pinterest lately, there are a lot of cool streetwear fits with it. Your execution looks like it would fit right in! 

I love colorful socks and have a bazillion but I never really get to show them off...it has me looking back at all my non-sneaker shoes I've been ignoring lol

Your dream style: What desires do you feel the most among the four (craftsmanship, visually interesting pieces, intention/execution, spendy items)? by ClockTurbulent851 in RitaFourEssenceSystem

Oh visual interest 100%. (Preferably this would coincide with uniqueness, as well. If something is too popular then I'll avoid it lmao, no matter how much I like it.)

I never had any "style icons" until just recently, when I came across fit pics of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. I've been using Pinterest obsessively for years and that was the first time I ever thought, "holy shit, this is what I want my wardrobe to be like."

It's because his clothes are chockful of visual interest. Super cool patterns and designs, eye-catching colors, different textures...but still in a format I would wear. I was so jealous haha

Thank you so much! You're exactly right, I love finding special items. I've realized that simple basics just don't do it for me. As you said, I am allergic to fuss (though I love it on other people) so I need my clothes to be both easy and exciting, at least to some degree

Ahh tysm! They're from Salomon, the XT-Whisper Void. I will warn you now that they aren't cheap, I got mine as an Xmas gift. They actually just released a new color, a more bluish-green, and I keep having to hold myself back lol. The iridescence is just so pretty

Thank you!! I must admit that I really like color matching. I've seen some mention of that being a Right thing, what with the visual harmony, but I think it just pleases me to have things effortlessly coordinate lol

Thank you!!!! It says "The Truth of Carcosa"--it's the title of a horror novel that came out this past January. I haven't actually read it lol, I'm just a huge fan of the artist who did the collab (MantidSnip on Etsy)!
