What happens when face vibe =/= body vibe?

If someones ID suggests a yin/yang balance very different from their actual essences or what's going on in their face, what are the best ways to move forward? Are you in the camp of, honor your lines but dress for your face? Or, should this influence which ID you claim? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this :) It would be so cool if everything always lined up but, Im not quite sure it does!! Or, does it, in your opinion?

Sharp/structures or curved/soft?

Im sorry for the mirror selfies and how they dont really show an accurate "head to toe". Heres the breakdown:

- outfit 1 is a peplum tank + soft corduroy high waisted curved pants, I liked the feel of it

- outfit 2 pants were high waisted, pull up style capris; I was surprised to really like that specific style of collared shirt on me (more than the super Classic version)

- outfit 3: I love square necks, and liked the high waisted linen shorts too.

- outfit 4 was purely stretchy/soft; I really do better with high waisted I think.

- outfit 5 is the wrench in the machine: pure column vibes, no stretch, no waist emphasis, and I loved it 😬

-outfit 6 was all about upper curve and waist emphasis for me and I liked it!

- 7 and 8 are about comparing the same dress with and without waist definition; dress itself is silk, no stretch

- 9 is to show a good HTT reference

- and then theres my creepy doll line sketch thing I did lol

Basically my Kibbe ID line sketch confuses me because its clear that at no point am I any "wider" than my shoulders, but I also seem to have a softer line, not super straight. Overall I end up looking rather long but I think its cuz of narrowness that gives that illusion; in person i seem kinda petite, even though Im 5' 5.25". If I could figure out if Im in the D or the R family, I would have an easier time figuring out the best outfits to go for lol! But I cant tell if I need softness or structure. Like I cant tell if i NEED waist emphasis or not, you know? So let me know if any outfits stand out as good or bad, if its possible to tell from the pics haha😅 cuz I was sure I was probably TR, But then today that "column" vibes dress really made me pause. So, thank you for your help!!!

Btw I added some proper HTT pics towards the end with my kibbe ID photo at the end just for a proper reference of my lines. But really Im focusing on the flair I chose of fashion advice; not trying to make this about Kibbe per se, just giving more context for WHY I cant figure out which direction I should take things lol. Thank you again!!💖💞

Can some Ds and TRs borrow each other's styles, due to sharing narrowness?

I understand that TRs have been described as petite in the past, but my understanding is that the accommodations are actually for curve and narrow. Being that TRs are narrow, can some of them use very "column"-like lines rather seamlessly? Or, is that a sign of not needing to accommodate curve?

My thought process is that TRs, being that they are slightly sharpened and typically not quite as lush as pure Rs, could possibly dress more D and have it work out. Perhaps the lines would sort of "hide" the curve, but work? Or again, is this working simply "proof" that the individual doesnt actually need to accommodate for curve? Ive read that some TRs can appear elongated due to their narrowness, so I imagine it can be a tricky distinction to make sometimes between D and TR, but not one Ive really seen discussed much. Does it also end up being a matter of "vibe"/overall yin vs yang balance in the overall look of the person?

Thank you for reading 😊 and please if Ive said anything thats incorrect, dont hesitate to correct me, Im very much still learning 💖

Learning how to accommodate some curve/softness!!

Im so happy! The other day, the pink outfit was kind of the best I could figure out for myself-- boxy t shirt, straight, high-waisted jeans without stretch. But I found the pants in slide 2 at the thrift, and took a chance! So today Im wearing a soft, stretchy scoop neck tank top, tucked in these ultra high-waisted, softer, thin corduroy pants and its such a WORLD of difference. For a casual outfit (which I need for running around as a mom) it makes all the difference to accommodate some yin with this softer outfit! Im just really happy about this. Even though Im not super obviously "curvy" I can see now how important its going to be for me to accommodate my actual lines, and bring more emphasis to my waist! Id been feeling kinda lanky and not "feminine" but people here have been helping me to see that Im really not that "yang" after all, despite looking kinda tall in photos (Im just over 5'5"). So yeah! It is just such a nice feeling to be actually comfortable in a casual outfit haha 😊 thank you for reading!

Pretty much just the title haha! :) If you dont have automatic vertical, but you're a little tall to be petite or have double-curve, and youre also not particularly moderate, or lush, or sharp, and you dont have Kibbe width...what do? Thanks lol! :)

IRTG

I've been trying out all sorts of different looks! I started off with my personal favorite, heeled boots included, and then show how it looks with no shoes. I've learned a TON so far about my body and am feeling more positive now than ever before about my frame/shape.

I am 5'5" but dont have softness in the typical "curvy" places, so I've never felt especially feminine. But I feel like Im seeing the light now. I realized I DONT like a ton of extra fabric on me, I dont like just-above-the-knee, I dont like anything that severely breaks or interrupts my vertical line.

My shoulders are roughly exactly above my hip bones, I get no "yin flesh" in that hip area, its really just a zig-zag looking line (highlighted most by that stretchy knit skirt lol) so it can "look" kinda curvy but I much prefer structured fabric, it turns out. I've been getting feedback that I have some yin influence of some kind but my favorite looks on myself so far are pure, simple uninterrupted vertical, to he honest haha😊but Im open minded and not attached to any one specific ID just yet!! I understand that this is a DIY system but have loved the process of brainstorming with others too, as I am still just learning about all this💚

Thank you all for reading and your help! ❤️💖
