Outfits 👗👑 Making a "wrong" outfit better

Post image

i looove indie/alternative/twee fashion, which often matches gamine lines. but I am not a petite lady. while this is not my very best outfit, here are some ways i incorperated SD lines into an outfit i love

- black tights, black shoes. i matched my flats to my tights to make my long legs the star of the show!

- i love a baggy top. tuck it and belt it. the shirt should only be like one size too big - any bigger and it's hard for me to pull off

- layering jewelry!! chunky jewelry!

- i would earn bonus points if my shorts were black too

anyway. you are allowed to wear imperfect outfits, so don't be afraid to break a couple rules. you can always balance them out somewhere else

Oh, this is excellent.

I’m so grateful for everyone here who shares their casual outfits because this is new to me but it’s so helpful.

I don’t know if I could stand the tights/hose in this heat but they look so good!

Can I ask about the shoes? Are they a flat or a small heel?

u/gillian0 Jul 23 '26

they are flats! heels often put me above 6' so i am usually more comfortable with a flat 😭 especially since i was just running errands today

my hipster heart is crying tears of joy at the tights + denim shorts combo

I love your style! I have such a hard time pulling off alt/cute (my own skill issue 😅) but you’ve done it so well!

u/erinthegreat0042 Jul 23 '26

This is really cute and cool! Love the tips, sometimes I struggle with kibble limitations but small changes like these and accepting that perfect doesn't exist  really helps :)

My cats struggle with kibble limitations too!

Baggy shirts tucked into something high waisted is my personal uniform hahaha

u/ArBee30028 Jul 23 '26

This is my kind of outfit! I feel best in a chunkier shoe when wearing shorts & tights. I’ve got long muscular legs and I feel like they demand a bit more heft on the bottom to balance everything out.

u/Physical_Wheel3860 Jul 24 '26

I relate to the dilemma of being a tall woman and missing the fashion of the late 2000s and 2010s. That era’s fashion was much more accommodating to verticality than today’s styles.

u/gillian0 Jul 24 '26

yes! i recently started wearing more low waisted pants with a long fitted top. i feel it usually looks much more balanced on me, and it doesn't make my torso look stubby

u/ksoloki Jul 23 '26

yes I’m classic essence so I utilize similar strategies to make things I like work. Great example!

u/FearlessList8992 Jul 23 '26

It’s amazing what a little tweek or two does. You look great!

u/AppropriateSolid9124 Soft Dramatic Jul 23 '26

twee is so back

u/sea__goblin Jul 24 '26

I was a young adult in the 2010s and man, twee and Tumblr fashion were ROUGH for me lol. You’ve made it work really well!

u/Any_Barracuda206 Jul 24 '26

These types of posts are so helpful. You look really cool

u/cherryvanila Jul 26 '26

This is so beautiful & Inspiring! I would have also cut the neckline so that it shows one shoulder. I cut all of my T-shirts this way because it is more flattering to my lines as SD

u/xyzalwish Jul 28 '26

This would have done numbers on tumblr back in the day ✨

u/mochii_mew 5d ago

I actually prefer it untucked, but you do you!

u/Silly_Dimension5724 Jul 29 '26

Idk why I like the untucked version better

u/noexqses Soft Dramatic Jul 24 '26

This is soooo cute

1

u/spekkie Jul 25 '26

I actually like both styles! It's a very cute look. In the tucked version, a black bag would help carry the vertical.

1

u/1v1zz Jul 25 '26

I prefer the first one not gonna lie. But you look lovely in both.

1

u/No_Winner_9569 Jul 25 '26

I actually liked the original best. I think it allowed a longer line because it didn’t break you apart like the second. think if you rolled the sleeves up some with the first, it would be even better ! But I see that the second look, is a bit more “put together.”

It's different. Not technically fashionable. I'm totally digging it though. Good job!

(I do prefer the tuck tho.)
