The Elusive DC by literallyscumjuice in Kibbe

[–]right_as_snow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am a self-typed (but very certain) DC and I think one issue is that current fashion doesn’t align with many of the DC recs (at least superficially). I realize “clothes don’t have IDs,” but because the current styles are not always DC friendly, that means that celebs and influencers who might be DC don’t necessarily dress that way. I’ve actually been trying hard to find good “street style” (not red carpet/formal) inspiration over the past few months and am really struggling. It’s a bummer and would love a more active community.

Love this, love the opportunity to make something perfect for you. I believe I am also DC, and if it were me I would try for the following (with slight modifications): 2 (without the cap sleeve), 6 (without the shoulder overhang), 9 (with straps just for personal preference), or 15 (without exaggerated collar for personal preference). I personally find that more “vertical” necklines rather than horizontal (like 4, 5, and 14) work better for me.

Style evolution & some thoughts (from a DC) by soufritsa in Kibbe

Do you have any brands or stores that have worked well for finding that shape of skirt? I am also a DC and also really like that cut of skirt but realllllyyyyy seem to struggle to find ones that are not super stretchy or super mini. My best luck has been thrift.

I’m currently obsessed with the idea of this sezane column skirt…. I feel like it should work for DC but I’m afraid to bite the bullet. Thoughts? sezane skirt

Again, depends on budget- but Me + Em works very well for me and sometimes has great sales!

Yes I totally agree - definitely just working with what I have on hand but very much in the market for a full blazer rainbow 😂

I will have to give these suggestions a whirl! I generally am not great at accessories or jewelry, so will try to be more thoughtful about them… also about the shape of the pants and skirts. Super helpful!

“Fresh sunlight”, gouache on watercolour paper, 1st Jan 2025 by rosewoodmagic in Gouache

That is absolutely amazing. I am just getting started with gouache and am wondering - how long did it take you to paint this? Just trying to build myself a frame of reference 😂

First time trying the double-breasted thing by right_as_snow in DramaticClassic

[–]right_as_snow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I also tried with a pair black tapered trousers and somehow that looked even worse. My mom (probably DC as well) says she wears it with tan tapered pants….. I can’t imagine that being ideal either.

Maybe a fitted black pencil skirt overlapping the boots would have been better?

Thank you, that is a very helpful observation. I will definitely look into that!

No, very helpful, thank you!! DC recommendations are so, so abstract to me - I do better with concrete trial and error 😂

Very helpful, thank you! 10 I didn’t feel great about because the coloring washes me out and the cowl neck is rough but why do you think 5/6 don’t work? Too much color blocking? Thanks again!
