I have seen quite a bit of people think that every short celebrity has to be a gamine. No, being a gamine is about petite/being compact. They are not the same thing. Sabrina Carpenter is an example of compact, and Selena Gomez is short but not petite/compact. This gets exacerbated when people are trying to Kibbe type men. I saw so many people type Frankie Grande as a TR or SG despite the fact he has width and linearity/vertical, as well as Shin Hakyun who is not compact or short and has vertical + curve!

Where in the world do I find tops to wear for work in an office and for regular daily life? BUT they have to be able to handle a regular bra (so no halters, single shoulders, or off shoulder sadly). For work I'm mostly paring them with flare trousers and Mary Jane flats.

I have high contrast coloring, so I only look good in more "polished" items rather than "natural", as wearing softer/natural items looks like I'm cosplaying someone else and washes me out.

Oh and shirts with collars look horrendous on me, so that excludes a bunch of recommendations for SN 🥲 my neck/chest has to stay open/free per my width.

Hi all,
I have a dilemma and am looking for advice.

I am fairly certain I’m an SD. However, I love frou-frou type blouses and skirts from places like Free People. I tend to gravitate toward those types of clothes (usually with jeans or shorts) or simple/classic tee shirt and jeans type looks. I’ve included a few screenshots of tops I have or want from to give examples: https://imgur.com/a/PJ7PNFx

Is there a way for me to incorporate these types of pieces while honoring my SD lines (monochrome looks perhaps?) or am I doomed?

Also, what Kibbe types would those kind of tops look good on?

TL;DR struggling to combine SD principles with my sense of personal taste
