My style is quite different than what I actually wear. I've always been overly modest at all costs, but I'm starting to ease up on that a little, as well as change my style in other ways. I'm not sure how my mom will take this, though, since she's used to me being excessively modest (and she herself possibly even more so). Any tips on how to ease her (and honestly myself) into this?
best things i can tell you? start with slightly shorter shirts. get long shirts and tie them up. wear shorts, highwaisted with crop tops especially. wear jackets over things like crop tops as you get into it, as well as overshirts and things, just to cover a lil bit more skin and make it seem less ~racy~. halter tops are good.
when it comes to makeup, start on the lighter spectrum of lipsticks and things, and push yourself into darker colors more and more. like. pink is fine. start with light pinks and make your way to corals and then deeper pinks. learn eyeliner if you dont already know how to do it. wear fun colors! false eyelashes if you have contacts, since i don't know how well they work with glasses
oh, and start altering your clothes. cut out bits of the back, use excess fabric you took off to lace it up, grommets exist, that kinda stuff. its fun
Thank you Crocs! Honestly tho, you give the best advice. I'm definitely gonna use some of this (I've actually said for a while now that "nothing's a crop top if your pants are high-waisted enough"). runs away to my closet excitedly
you are so right lmao, highwaisted pants are also great for your parents because thats a lot less skin than you'd show in lower waisted pants so–
and thank you fdhfh i'm glad to help! let me know if it works out!
WHAT'S UP JUPITER IS BACK TO (PROBABLY) ANNOY EVERYONE
I have curly and very puffy hair that currently comes to about the middle of my back. I've been debating for months whether to cut it to my shoulders or let it grow super long. I think that short hair looks super cute, but I have to be able to do a bun for dance and I'm worried that it'd make my hair even puffier. On the other hand, I used to have hair past my butt and it was a huge hassle, but it looks super nice and it'd probably get straighter if I grew it out definitely not growing it out so that I can cosplay Wendy from Gravity Falls in the undetermined future, nope. Any advice?
(also I get new glasses frames next week! I'm so excited bc I lowkey hate the ones I have)
aaaaa okay i have plusses and minuses here
so you can cut your hair short enough so that it'll stil fit in a bun and look nice. even if its a small bun! and poof is something you can deal with, don't you worry. there are plenty of casual serums and products that offer a taming effect without making your hair crusty, and should you decide you want some options before doing so, let me know! my mom is a former hairdresser who worked at sally's beauty for a few years, so she knows a lot. and i am very good at using google.
but long hair is very pretty! as someone who's had short hair for most of their life, it's great but i've almost gotten tired of it. i want more options, and the only way to get them is to grow my hair out long enough to cut it a million different ways. but, ever the advocate for cutting your hair and experimenting–experiment! cut it short and regret it for two years while it grows out! get an undercut, buzz it off(i know, strict parents. but someday), get the worst haircut you'll ever have or get one you'll love for as long as you have it. have fun, because even if it takes a bit, hair grows back. it doesn't always look the best while it's growing back but hey. we can't have everything.
as someone who hasn’t had a real haircut in years and literally just takes kitchen scissors and hacks when ever i get tired of it this is 1000% true get the crappiest haircut you’ve ever seen. hair grows and life is short
Have any recommendations for things to wear with a turtleneck to spice it up?
blazers!! silky gloves maybe, hoop earrings, brooches

Hm… I've been very curious about high-waisted pants. I don't own any and never have, but damn, they look good on a lot of people.
I also want to try men's pants without looking like a dummy.
I have pretty short legs, as in I can wear petites and I have to buy the "short" cut in old navy jeans :(
the trick? cut off the parts of the leg that are too long and bring them in. thats for men's. high-waisted pants are a godsend if you have any sort of ass. always afraid of being the person who's ass is halfway out their pants? not anymore!
YES I'm a skater so I've got more of an ass than I'd really like and high-waisted pants are a whole blessing and a half. I need pants anyway so I'm gonna ask my mom if when we go shop for them I can get high-waisted ones. I have one pair right now and I always hated the regular ones but we don't go pants shopping very often so opportunity!! holy run-on sentence lmao
Ahsjdks I'm basically all ass and no leg length so that sounds like a blessing lmao
And sickkk, I might just have to try taking up some men's pants sometime. Although if I'm being honest, I spent most of my middle school years in jeans that swallowed me whole and I'm trying to NOT revert back to that ever again. So I'll definitely have to try on things before I buy pants that don't look so great on me :/
any advice on appearing more feminine in men's/unisex clothes?
@acis you can wear a crewneck or a flannel over it
@Disaster_Bi_Was_Here put on makeup, wear accesories like earings, necklaces, etc.
yeah that basically it for the fem vibe in masc clothes. belts also work, and tucking shirts certain ways.
Idk if you’ll be able to help me with this Sage but like idk where to buy high waisted slacks. I want them for that whole dark academia vibe, but I haven’t been able to find any for the life of me, only low waisted ones. Like I said, idk if you’ll be able to help, but I thought I’d ask
I know I’m not crocs, but I literally just got some higher waisted pants yesterday. They were on sale at Old Navy, and they look pretty nice. I don’t know if they’d be exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s always worth a look.
i mean i have a couple saved on amazon, and if you're thinner it'll be a lot easier. but i'd just search them online, compile a list of places that sell them, and then pick through for your sizes/best ratings/best prices. i can help with that too, if you need, just by finding where they sell

Or lack of ass lol
I have absolutely no hips and high waisted pants are the only reason I don't spend a fortune on belts, they're the only shape that clings to me.
also a valid take, the general consensus is high waisted = good
low waisted tho???? oh my god
Akshdhs no kidding. Like slightly low waisted stuff can be okay, where it sits basically on the hip bone, but dear God, some of the 90s (was it 90s?) fashion with low waisted pants was atrocious.
Oh yeah! Hair advice!
So I have roughly shoulder length hair.
Any suggestions for more masculine/gender neutral hairstyles I can do?
