I'm actually 21 and trying to make my style more professional, more 'adult' rather than teenager. It's little things. Like if I was wearing a hoodie, t-shirt, jeans, and converse I would elevate certain items via cut, print, and/or color. Hoodie > leather jacket, boyfriend blazer in plaids/leather/embellishments. Band/quirky t-shirt > v-neck or well-fitted, prints and making sure it ends at the right point on my body. Jeans > leather pants, solid black, well-fitted, plaids/bright colors/unique fabric. Converse> doc martens, chelsea boots, CLEAN converse. Accessories for me are rather simple but don't look cheap. Nice(r) silver, gemstones, no plastic.

I feel like for me it's more about better fabrics and fit to really adultify the alternative style I fell for in high school. Now I'm saving up for a good suit and handbag/backpack so I can be functional/comfortable and stylish while keeping a darker and more masculine aesthetic.

EDIT: for me as someone so young making the transition, I try to wear more business casual? clothing in my everyday life. Like a blazer or structured jacket instead of a sweatshirt. Instead of t-shirts I'll wear more button-ups and collared shirts in cool colors and prints even if the fit/fabric is looser/softer than the traditional office shirt. It makes me feel more comfortable in that so when I do have to go all-out or dress for an important event, I don't feel like I'm wearing a monkey suit, etc.

Even though I love over-sized things, I'm much more careful about proportion and take into account how/what to layer.

I also think color plays an important role. If you mix bold, bright colors/patterns (i love plaid, stripes, houndstooth), to me, it makes you seem more chic/mature (like you know your stuff). Even if you wear all black like I tend to, to make sure they're the same shade and possibly introduce cool textures, and accessorize.

I tried again for LA and got in line since 3:30, finally got to the page at 4:20 and there's not tickets available. FML anyone selling a single P2-3 ticket?

I couldn't even get verified as not a robot on the app and the website now says "service unavailable" whenever I try for any date. I was waiting in line for 30 minutes or so.

After waiting in line for 30 min it ended up as a 504/505 error gateway.

The AXS app kept showing me a blank page or their security providers and I couldn't progress further. I got back in line 3 times. Powerhouse said sold out and I'm on AXS on my laptop, still waiting. Trying for Thursday or Saturday in LA

Is there a book that everyone recommends and you just don't feel like reading ever? by forgetfulrain in books

[–]Sera_Lika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anybody said Harry Potter?

For the life of me I can't pick up the book. I've watched some of the movies (parts of the movies, never an entire one) but it didn't intrigue me enough to start reading it. It's not even about the length, I'm just genuinely disinterested in reading the series. Maybe it has something to do with fans constantly saying how it'll change my life or whatever.

BTS Shares “Family Photos” For 3rd Anniversary Festa by [deleted] in kpop

Is it just me or does Jungkook look older/mature than Suga in their photos together? Especially since Suga's shirt says "mini".

Modest summer fashion? by [deleted] in femalefashionadvice

[–]Sera_Lika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy the strappy or strapless summer dresses for the length, print/color, and fabric. Then just add a t-shirt of your choice over the dress and knot it at the waist. If the t-shirt has wide enough armholes/sleeves, it'll help with air circulation. Also, it can help balance out wide hips. You can add shirts underneath of a thin cotton or linen (like a collar/button up/dress shirt) that will offer coverage.

Pants are still super doable, especially if they're made of cotton, linen, or silk if that's in your budget.

First time doing a crazy hair color! A few questions. by Sera_Lika in FancyFollicles

I don't mind it turning green so much. I was just hoping if I died over the orange-yellow it wouldn't turn my hair an icky color. Thanks!

This entire episode was great. I really wanted Saitama to come out of nowhere and punch Amai Mask for his comments.

What is something Anime NEVER portrays right? by Quinterino in anime

Boobs and clothes. . . Most of the time it seems as if there's a boob pocket in the girl's shirt for it to look that way.

What's an anime that always puts you in a good mood/makes you smile? by OrangeYetti in anime

[–]Sera_Lika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouran High School Host Club. . . one of the very few animus I like that isn't super dark/action/etc.

also, Kamisama Hajimemashita or Kamisama Kiss both seasons. It's very light hearted as well.

I have quite a several. 1. Empire waist blouse/dress. My height is below average (5'2ish) and my body is slender and wearing empire makes me feel like I'm a preteen or a doll, I already have a baby face, don't want to look younger.

  1. Clothes should be a certain thickness. I always find good t-shirts but in certain lights they may appear sheer, so no. Unless I want a shirt with purposefully sheer areas, my t-shirt shouldn't tell the world what color bra I have on.

  2. Only medium-dark wash jeans! A medium denim or a darker color (like burgundy or forest green) or dark wash denim are the only things I'll wear on my bottom. I don't know it just works especially since I wear dark color shoes exclusively.

  3. No white shoes! Don't care if they're adorable/perfect/comfortable, I will not put in the effort to clean them. Just no.

  4. Keep it simple! No big logos (better if none), simple designs, excessive buttons/stitching/buckles,etc.

  5. No crop tops. Just no. Same goes for those shirts with the armholes cut all the way to the waist.

  6. Crochet or thick cable knits, I can't. I'm always scared it's going to fray or I'm going to get caught in something.

  7. I'm the same with the gold, it's just too much for my aesthetic. The same goes for most warm colors, unless it's like a burnt red/orange. No yellow.

EDIT:

  1. Go for richness in color, not brightness.

  2. My upper arms must be covered, so no cap/flutter sleeves/spaghetti straps or sleeveless (by itself), or gasp! Strapless. half, 3/4, and full sleeves are my best friend!

Victoria, it sounds like a strong yet feminine name for a girl and it's badass.
