yo /fa/, i'm normally a /fit/izen but i may have somehow gotten a job at a clothing store in my town. they said i need to fashionable.
i've already read the sticky and it gave me some good starting points but can get a female /fa/ inspo thread going?
i live in california so it's pretty hot basically always, and i'm coming down from a bulk so i'm not stick thin atm.
also, i have a few hundred dollars to spend to get me started, so on the hierarchy of /fa/, what is the most important thing that distinguishes /fa/ grills from normal grills? aside from shoes because i'm planning on getting a nice pair of oxfords or something like pic related.
i'm planning on going shopping today, probably at forever 21, h&m, express, and some local thrifty type stores.
i'm thinking of going with what the sticky said and getting a couple of casual black dresses, some belts, a cardigan, some straight-leg jeans, etc. is that reasonable?

>tl;dr might get a job at a clothing store, need female /fa/ inspo

also for reference this is me.
i think my hair is okay, i'm working on my skin, and i usually wear glasses to hide the bags under my eyes. but i read that /fa/ likes dark circles under the eyes? so i might try to wear contacts more. they make my eyes really dry though so i'm not sure. but i think i have potential. i'm cutting right now so my face will be less chubby in a couple of months or so.

OP, effay isn't going to help you. Its a loose collective of post-emo manlets that migrated here from /b/. If you look at any facial aesthetics threads you'll realize their opinions don't mean shit, they're all uggo as fuck and have no idea what they're doing, thinking they'll get girls or be special by hiveminding into Rick or other 'avante garde' shit.

Seriously, reddit is better if you're looking to learn. You'll find only frustration here.

>girl who likes clothes here
Honestly, I think every outfit in this thread is ugly as fuck. Shapeless, badly fitted, dull colours, no real ideas or feeling behind them.

When looking for new clothes, I look for the kinds of things that make my heart beat faster, that when I see them my breath catches.

>pic related- I like pretty, vampy stuff

Maybe I'm not very fashionable, though.

>Maybe I'm not very fashionable, though.

As you'd imagine, this look does exist and plenty of folks (especially the small niche brands in Asia) mine that vein rather often. As far as the kind of chic Miss Havisham thing goes for everyday clothing, it takes some work to make it read as clothing and not costume, but it's not impossible. I think brands like Marchesa Voyage do a pretty good job with that approach, though.

The problem is that these more elaborate looks require finer work and finer fabric to read as elegant daywear and not as costumes stolen from a film set.

i think that look is cool. i spent most of middle school and high school trying to achieve it. unfortunately, however, i have olive skin, brown eyes, brown hair, and most of my fat is stored in my ass.
so basically it makes me look like a mexican emo kid. i agree that it's definitely a good look, but it doesn't complement my colors at all, nor is it really practical for california weather. i appreciate the suggestion though..

Get a different haircut. It's too puffy.
The eyebag thing is a joke, just like "heroin chic" or dropcrotch joggers.
Keep working on your skin.
Other than that you definitely could look good.

my hair doesn't normally look puffy like that, that was just a reference pic for my face.
i have very few pictures of myself because my skin is shit so selfies hardly ever look good at all. i randomly took this one on snapchat though and it turned out okay, sort of angled, but you get the idea.

>>8996535
Don't listen to the elitist idiot. The places that you mentioned are actually good starts. Now the thing with them all, and especially forever 21 is that you're going to look like every other girl who dresses decently and shops at the mall. Not that this is a terrible thing, they look good and all, but its unsatisfying for people like us and maybe someday you, who care about style and want to standout. H&M is a little different though, I actually really like H&M and I think their women's stuff is great for the price. What H&M basically does is hit up top designer's runways and rip stuff off, and that's great for people who can't drop huge amounts of money on the designer stuff.

H&M is less safe than forver 21 since their stuff is hit and miss but if you gte a decent aesthetic sense or go with some friends who have some, you can look great for little money.

But I do agree with another guy that reddit may be better for a newbie, especially a women since 95% of the posters here are men who know nothing about women's fashion.

I can't really say anything about the hair/frames, not very familiar with women's fashion at all, but it does look alright to me. Frames might be too big for your face, but like you said, the photo is kinda angled. They probably aren't though. You'd be pretty qt with clear skin and sick fits.

I wash my face twice per day. I try to drink a minimum of 2.2 L of water per day. I avoid processed food, which goes with the territory of /fit/. I work out. I use a salicylic acid treatment thing. I don't touch my face.
I might go on birth control next week but I'm not entirely sure. But yeah, I used to have it way worse, but I have really irregular hormones and extremely oily skin and I lift (which boosts test), so it just gets shitty sometimes.

>>8998311
I actually just got back from Forever 21. I got an olive trench coat sort of thing, a cream colored scarf, some black tights, knee-high socks, a black dress with roses on it, a red black and white flannel, some basic v-necks, and a black skirt. I think it's a decent start. I'll probably go to a few other stores tomorrow, but I still need to work on developing my fashion sense. I brought one of my friends along with me, too, and she gave me pretty good feedback on the stuff I was getting.
I guess I could suck it up and try reddit. Are there any good subs you know about?

reddit is awful, you will learn from lurking in fa for a while even if you are a girl. It's weird, i'm a girl and i thought i wouldn't learn anything from this board, but i kept lurking because i like the humor and i ended up learning a lot. However, there are other forums out there that you should check out. instead of reddit, try sufu or caretags or KTT. seriously don't bother with reddit, you won't learn that much and they're not even funny, at least 4chan has a sense of humor.

Eh, it all boils down to taste. I dislike meme simons, tumblr twee, buzzcuts and similar but if people like it and it doesn't look disastrous go for it. One thing that really puts me off of /fa/ is the notion of "pleb taste/shit taste" and forcing samey fits over and over again. Like what you like mane, but don't expect everyone to agree.

And the reason those people dress like shit is because they try to fit in and dress by others' standards instead of minding what looks good on them. If a landwhale or a roided up musclebro wore Rick Memens everyone would just laugh.
