>What are your pet peeves in the fashion?

tumblr sucking at doing it
e.g. absolutely everyone thinking that hotpants look good?
shorts with badges and accessories -> ok
vaguely pink tight hotpants -> no
also the original themes n shit being lost in the western sea of bodyline tutus - i miss actually seeing 80's themes, some bolder pastels and goddamn fabric skirts instead of tutus
i kinda disagree with the "i wish fk was more popular" peeve because i prefer smaller niche communities and it just means there is less drama in general (and it also means that less tumblrinas can butcher it)

>Favorite western shops / indie brands?

i liked pea while they lasted, i regret not buying their stuff. i mostly shop on taobao but i like some of thekawaiimachine's designs

>Favorite color combinations?

FUCK this is difficult because i wear n love so many different combos
mint/pink, yellow/pink, pink/lavender, any combinations of those + some white to balance out
i'm not a massive fan of pink/blue for some reason?

>How many accessories can be added before it's considered OTT?

if you do the clips in fringe thing it's definitely verging on pastel decora territory. bracelets and necklaces and rings are less standy-outy than hair accessories so i feel as though the line between fk and decora comes down to that. up to seven head accessories and it's decora. 5+ necklaces/12+ bracelets/5+ rings seems to be my kinda cutoff point
