About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

Kibbe body type and what it means to me - Soft Classic

That's what the quiz gave me, I'll need to see where it goes. There are things that I really like - a corduroy skirt (not soft or visually light) and I have some "statement jewelry) that are not "clean, elegant, delicate, and sophisticated."

Key points from Gabrielle Arruda

  1. How soft is the fabric? (Soft, visually light) 
  2. Does the piece have soft tailoring or shaping? (Yes)
  3. Does the shape of the garment allow for soft waist emphasis?  (Or allow for a french tuck or tuck to enable waist emphasis?) (Yes)
  4. Does the garment have any overwhelming design elements that immediately draw your focus? (No) 
  5. Is it cut so that your curves are “accommodated”?  Look at the shape of the hips for a curved line, gathers, pleats, or anything that allows your hips to breathe.  Similarly, look through the torso to the waist for the same general curve shaping. 
  6. If it has a print, is the print subtle and elegant or over the top and bold?  (Generally, we are shooting for more subtle ones). 
  7. Is anything over the top, glitzy or flashy?  (No) 
  8. Do you like the garment itself?  ( NEVER just dress for Kibbe guidelines, you are the most important aspect of your style and David Kibbe doesn’t want to box you in)
