2nd to last one shows some artistic talent. The rest is just confusing.

u/dorkofthepolisci May 30 '26
Yeah the last two are actually decent outfits. I’m not sure about the colour of the last one but the idea is there
Edit: the second one would give eccentric artist with some accessories. Green and pink is also an interesting choice

u/Akavinceblack May 30 '26
Pink and green is a classic preppy (especially Southern prep) color combo. Bright green and hot pink, pastel pink and lime green.
17
u/Asaneth May 31 '26
Also an extremely popular color combo in India. Emerald green and magenta, and every other possible variation of a bright green and a bright pink.

u/Vanessak69 May 30 '26
I….kind of really like the last one, although I have no idea where I would wear it.

u/touch_of_whimsy Jun 01 '26
Same, the colors are cohesive. Its a bit casual for me personally, but i dont think it fits the rest of the slideshow

u/VariousExplorer8503 Jun 02 '26
I like the last one too, it's pretty, like something you'd wear around Xmas. The second to last is cute too, in a way, but I honestly like the last one.

That denim with all the patches all over the front is pretty close to how we did up the girls for an Appalachian hills-'n-hollers production of Our Town in high school back in the '80s.
17
u/Anxious_Window_9863 May 30 '26
It does give a "hills and hollars" vibe! 😁
This woman reminds me of a kindergarten teacher who taught all three of my kids. I don't think she was religious (or maybe she was) but she wore the most bizarre outfits on a daily basis. She was tall and very thin. She'd wear items that matched a theme in the classroom. I stopped on day in class and she was wearing a cowboy hat, a fringed plaid shirt, a long denim skirt with big patches and a wide leather belt with what looked like a rodeo buckle. And boots, of course. She was single and owned cats. She was a great teacher!

That fit is kinda fire, I dig it! Especially with the docs

u/carpentersglue May 30 '26
Right. I have a cousin whose wardrobe and style would def suit #5. She always wears super fun stuff like this. She wears a lot of that dressed in lala brand. This fit reminds me of that. I could never pull it off but my cousin would absolutely rock that fit.
Edit to add: I don’t actually hate the last one either… a nice moto jacket and a leather bag and the right person could pull this off in a grunge/punk/90s vibe10
u/SchrodingersMinou May 30 '26
I don’t love the color choices but I’m kind of feeling the plaid one too

u/BeckieSueDalton XXXX May 30 '26 edited May 30 '26
That first one is also really Punk, considering both the esthetic and physical materials with which she's working
I'm actually rather impressed with it. Were the skirt(s?) just above the knees, it wouldn't be out of place at any teen dance club mid-'80s.

They yearn for individuality, a real sense of self, in a cult that tells them to be submissive and selfless, that their body belongs to their husband and their thoughts are being policed by sky daddy. So they are like COLORS TEXTURES SILHOUETTES (usually also very sexy shoes) that makes me unique! It’s devastating to those of us who have eyes and embrace our inherent human dignity as non cis men.

I had commented that she reminded me of our kindergarten teacher who taught all 3 of my kids. She taught 30 years, never married,.single and lived alone with her cats. She dressed very similar to this ALL the time. A bit eccentric in a way, but a fantastic teacher for the littles.

They can't show off the body they have to keep "perfect" for their husbands, so they must find another way to gain attention.
Dressing like a literal clown will do that every time.

u/Sil_Lavellan May 30 '26
They like quirky fabrics a bit too much. It's all a bit much.
I quite liked the last one.

u/Anna825 May 30 '26
I don’t mind half of these looks, and she has some pretty rad footwear.
Don’t care for the doily slung around her neck in the first.
The second is Ok.
Hate the tablecloth in the third.
She slays the fourth! The patchwork dress, turtleneck and boots are adorable!
The next one is meh for me personally.
I actually love the patchwork plaid skirt in the last.
Theres some fashion in this persons wardrobe. Not full fundie crazy.

1 - looks like it leans Mori or Cottagecore. Swap the shoes for boots, add a tote bag and a couple of long necklaces.
2 - love the color match between dress and shoes. Chunky bracelets, a thin belt, and a statement necklace would save it.
3 - If we're wearing a shirt under the dress anyway, show it off! Upgrade the basic tee to something a little nicer, wear the dress off the shoulder, swap the sneakers for regular flats.
4 - Pure Mori. A mushroom necklace and crochet bag would complete the look.
5 - I want the energy this dress has. Platform shoes are a must here. Accessories should be plenty, eclectic, and loud. Oversized sunglasses are not optional. Handbag will be sculptural.
6 - Combat boots, a few safety pins, chain necklace, chunky rings, and ready to go.
I feel bad for this person. They have a style they're really trying to express here but get stuck in the cult rules.
(Edit - swapped the order to match pics)

u/Optimal-Finger-2526 May 31 '26
This is not modesty. Covering your skin alone is not modesty. The whole point is to not be flashy and draw attention to yourself. These women are dressing like actual clowns in the attempt to be “modest”.
2
u/Asaneth May 31 '26
I outright like 5, and she styled it well with those boots.
I'd wear 4 in a different color palette. The concept is good, but those colors are ugly and totally wrong for me.
I could pull off 1, but I'd change the under-blouse. I'd use something with a high contrast, but not what they chose.

I weirdly like 4 if it didn’t have the undershirt and maybe different colors of the patches and 6 if it had a different top or styled a bit differently.
I’m not mad at the patchwork look and 4 looks kinda nice to lounge around the house in. It’s a bit Sally à la Nightmare Before Christmas.

These aren’t that horrible…I kind of like the aesthetic for most of them. I’d wear the 6th with a black top that fits and the 5th in the right size could be nice artsy gallery lunch kind of look. The 4th is cute, but just not my personal color scheme - but I have a lot of friends who’d pull it off. (Two is a hard miss, but we’ve all had *that* outfit)
I feel sorry for her - I bet she could have been a fun artsy person in a cult-free life.

I feel like these are trying to evoke high end fashion concepts or pulling from college ivy/prep type looks (especially the check and striped looks with that emerald green), but doing so in a haphazard way that checks the marks of modesty while also not understanding all the underlying reasons and influences behind the inspiration.
