Oh my goodness, croc and Jupiter, I found your forums at just the right time! Maybe now I can stop panicking. XD
Soooo…my main idea is to impress, but I don't want to look like I'm trying to?? If that's even a thing??
I was wondering could I PM both of y'all (Croc and Jupiter) to get ideas on what to wear, how my hair should go, makeup tips, etc…

my PMs are always open for makeup/fashion/general advice! i don't know if i can speak for jupiter, but i doubt she'd mind!

do you have any advice on what i should pair with a blue plaid pleated skirt? that's probably oddly specific but idk

Alrighty, thanks a million!

bandeau tops and blazers, blazers with various shirts, sweaters that are cropped or tucked up/just tucked in the waistband, making them look kinda oversized. sweater vests, button up shirts, a solid colored oversized tank thats tied up in the front, long sleeved shirt under a spaghetti strap tank top.

either hide your socks or do socks in solid colors that match around, and anything from oxfords to converse to strappy sandals works. personally, i'd say simply jewelry like small pendants on thin chains, maybe chokers, and just nice lil earrings.

thanks so much!!!

of course!

Sure! I may need some time to think but I'll get back to you as soon as I can. :)

Hey, idk if this is dead or now, but I was wondering what hairstyles you would recommend for squarish faces?

its never dead babe! i like to think of this as one of those threads that just pops back up when you need it

if we're talking cuts, anywhere from shoulder to chin length looks BOMB on y'all. angled and wavy, you get both ends. longer hair with waves is hella flattering, and multiple layers with side bangs works hella too. sources say layers in general are your friend, probably to give your hair volume and dimension, to avoid any possibility of it looking flat in comparison to what i like to call 'hot warrior lady face'. side sweep your bangs, go for shaggy, or even do a really deep side part.

Thank you so much for the advice, I've been getting a lot of hair cuts and it's been hard finding one that's flattering for my face and it makes me really self-conscious. Right now, I just have shoulder-length straight hair with a fringe above my eyebrows.

Do you think this would be flattering?

i think it may depend partly on how you're styling it, but in general, yeah! this lady has a similar cut, if a bit longer, and a square face! i definitely think the cut will work, though if you're going to a stylist, ask them if they have any tricks for the cut on top of that

Ok, once again, thank you for the advice!

hello I somehow forgot about this forum during my ongoing fashion crisis and randomly remembered it existed right now while I'm supposed to be writing an essay so here we goooooo
I have aha several things and any advice would be welcomed

sooooo first things first
I have this black pleated skirt that goes to about mid-thigh and I love it but I have absolutely no idea what to really wear with it

two, how do I dress masculine? I'm more struggling in the pants-wise department with this one I think but advice for overall outfits would also be appreciated lol

and last but not least, I kind of want to dress more alt (I'm leaning towards the grunge aesthetic) and just howwwww

aaaaaaa thank you for everybody's time, any help is greatly appreciated lol

you could try baggier pants or get pants from the mens section
personally, i like to wear these high waisted straight leg jeans and i think they look pretty masculine

thanks dude!!

no problem!

button ups, tank tops and cardigans, sweaters(tucked or untucked), graphic tees/tanks if you REALLY want to fuck around

shop in the mens department, thats half the battle. mens clothes speak for themselves ddhhd. but also wear things that are baggier in the leg, belts, no more form fitting jeans unless you know how to rock the twink/fuckboy look. instead of tucking your shirts in all the way, half tuck them. the easiest masc outfit ever is mens jeans/capris, a tank top(mens or womens), and a hawaiian shirt or flannel.

and last but not least, I kind of want to dress more alt (I'm leaning towards the grunge aesthetic) and just howwwww

graphic tees are your friend. distressed clothing, flannels, and remember that black goes with everything. red is a good color here. so is grey. wear beat up tennis shoes and chunky boots and do corded necklaces instead of chains. your chains are gonna look more alt if theyre on your pants. everyone deserves a pair of black jean shorts

aaaaaaa thank you for everybody's time, any help is greatly appreciated lol

crocs you are a life saver thank you so much!!

of course babe! and if you're ever really on the fence over whether something matches with something else in a specific case, just ask!

if you have any button downs, you can tuck it into the skirt and it's usually really cute. i have a few pictures of myself doing smth like that and i can send the to you over insta, if you want.

hh i wish i could help here bit go for boxy clothes, but not super baggy.

!! go thrifting. flannels, baggy jeans, grunge is based off what you can get cheap

Not fashion, but do you have any advice on covering acne with makeup? I try but it always looks gross

Prime, foundation, then add green color corrector to lessen redness and concealer a little lighter than your foundation.
At least, that's how I've been doing it.

yeah bec is right! knowing how to utilize colored concealers is really useful tbh. also if you ever want it, down to drop my cleansing routine!!

Honestly the color ends up being fine but the way the foundation sits on my skin is Not Right and I know it's not the foundation because it's fine on the rest of my skin

oh id try exfoliating better and making sure to moisturize. heavy duty exfoliate the night before you're planning on wearing makeup. my skin gets really oily but also flakey so I have to do that before putting foundation or concealer on

Thank <333

What is primer and how do you use it?

I bought the Quo pixel editor primer at my friend's recommendation but idk how to use it

you put it on before the rest of your makeup! it helps keep foundation and things even and on for a while. it might take a while to find one that actually works really well for your skin, but once you do you'll definitely notice.
