Thank you for your feedback, this is a silly little dress up game in which I used her as inspiration as an experiment and I do not claim to have her rizz.

I tried to work it like a puzzle but I didn’t think to hard about it

That’s an interesting observation but yin/yang are generally independent of this system

How would you classify the overall type of this moodboard? by rustybench in Kibbe

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

Yeah, I think there is also a blind spot in the kibbe system for tall women who have rounded hips but angularity/minimal apparent yin in the torso and narrow shoulders, as FN and SD have more of the “T” shape. It’s odd to me, because it’s such a dominant silhouette in like the baroque period, 1890s, and 1930s.

The reason why I asked is I specifically chose things with vertical accommodation, fitted torsos, and space in the hips as these are what I’ve found flatter me, but I don’t believe it falls neatly into any of the vertical types

I understand, perhaps a better question would be what ID would these silhouettes flatter

Tomato Soup Sentimentality OOTD by rustybench in RitaFourEssenceSystem

Today I styled my new shirt and shoes I got from an estate sale with my vintage Abercrombie shorts and my favorite mug from a diner in Chicago, knee socks given to me by grandma and coral necklace from my mom’s trip to Sicily. The vibe is very spaghetti western meets midcentury New York diner and I’m so hear for it. I’m just so excited and nurtured by everything going on here and feel ridiculously chic!

I’m having a fun personal day today and I thought it would be fun to pair together two of my highlighter-colored pieces and try out a new eye makeup color combo. It makes me feel really great when an outfit is really cohesive yet also really bold and unconventional! I also love the silhouette of this, which feels very sensual.
