Hello, /fa/.
I'm an incoming college freshman girl. I used to be chubby, but recently lost a fuckton of weight. I'm trying to recreate myself. A new wardrobe seems to be a good place to start.

Stats:
Height: 5'7''
Weight: 119
Hair: dark, shoulder-length, layered, side bangs
Skin: pale
Breasts: 36 dd
Hips/ass: white girl

This picture pretty much encompasses the way I dressed before, a little toned down (I clash patterns and usually wear my pair of navy blue docs every day). Now nothing fits. What do I buy?

Have you properly remeasured yourself since the weightloss?
And not getting it done at Victoria's Secret or one of those places where the staff stuff you into any old size they have if they don't stock yours.
Just asking because 36 is fairly broad for someone slim, so I wonder if perhaps you have a smaller band size and a larger cup size because that is a common problem after weightloss

I'm not taking a picture of myself until the 23rd (my 18th birthday). I know, it's strange, but I feel like I'm under construction and I don't want to be photographed until then. I've been working at this for three months now, I barely go out anywhere but the library.

>> No.6521900

>>6521880
well, you do you. but excessive color and pattern clashing is usually either hit or miss (a miss more often than not, like 90% of times)

black is a more mature/sophisticated/understated color. although it can still add gravitas and shock value to a fit if done right.

draping and layering are also important.

We can't decide what you should buy though. The best /fa/ can do is say what would look good in an outfit you post or what doesn't work. A wardrobe is a very personal thing. I'd suggest lurking for inspiration, although for women this site isn't that good. Look on tumblr or something for stuff you like that you think you can maybe do. Don't replicate whole outfits, just take inspiration.

I have no idea as I'm male but that hardly seems necessary

black nails look kinda creepy to me, then again I don't pay attention to nails normally

personally I like monochrome because it feels bold without being too try-hard (of course there are countless exceptions), and the fact that color is muted draws more attention to other details of an outfit like silhouette (general shape). a lot of people who dress colorfully say all black is boring but there's merit and inspiration to be drawn from either point of view

i mean wtf is this, this is like so frumpy grandma clothes...

just have to look around lots at clothes till you get a feel for what looks good, what good quality means, and look at what other people wear to see whats in trend. thefashionspot has some good posters, try and look at celebrities that buy some of their stuff highstreet, like olivia palermo often shops at zara. however don't try to recreate a high end look on a cheap budget, because anytime i've seen someone do that it just looks shit... just try and buy the best things you can on your budget.

keep lurking lady

Part of creating your own style is the constant search and exposure to fashion. Don't expect to create a beautiful wardrobe overnight. This shit is a process that never ends. Keep an open mind to things you originally thought were unacceptable. In your search, you'll find things you like, but don't work for you. On the other hand, you'll find things that you may originally dislike, but work beautifully for you.

You might make bad purchases, but in the end, those experiences will strengthen your knowledge both in fashion and in you as a character. As well, since you're essentially in a new body, you're going to find that you will figure out your body and its nuances that most other people won't have.

Always take advice with a grain of salt, because what works for others may not work for you, and what works for you won't for others.

To sum up, you really only need a couple tips or guidelines to go off of.
1. Fit is everything. You can wear the most /fa/ thing in the world and still look terrible if the fit is bad. Fit should always be your absolute first concern. Not too frumpy, not too tight, accentuates your shape.
2. Dress for the weather and the activity. A huge part of looking good is being well outfitted for what you're doing. This is a bit of an art, but you get the hang of it quick enough once your closet is properly outfitted.
3. Muted tones and Earth-tones are almost always safe, but colourful accents are perfectly acceptable too. Just be careful of patterns; that's where things can get really nasty.
4. Don't be afraid to wear different looks. Be chic one day, vintage the next. Have a lot of variety in your repertoire.
5. Wear what looks good. This may seem rudimentary, but what I mean is that your personal tastes are always the most important part. If you don't feel like you look good, chances are that you don't. This is different from inevitably feeling a little weird in a new style, and you'll learn the difference over time. Just remember that if you don't love what you're wearing, you're doing it wrong.

Other than that, do whatever you feel like. Go crazy, girl. And good luck at college.

I'm a girl with a small figure and huge tits, I totally get it. (DDs, yet small as fuck waist and hips - 35", 26", 30")

I found it hard to find a style that fit me.

I try to squish my tits down, I wear a sports bra to make my tits kind of go away.
I dress like OP's picture. Nice dress that accentuates the waist and a cardigan over it, trying to hide those big ta-tas.
It works pretty well, college friends didn't realize I had huge tits until I showed them where my extra weight came from.
But yea, dress like OP. highly recommended.

Also Doc Martens look so good with knee socks and some high waisted shorts. - my fave thing to wear.
