Who - awesome picture
Faust - coat looks great, I forgot you had this one
"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
Really solid look, Flux. Ann D looks good on you, which is no easy feat.
Faust looking great as well. Love the scarf. Get ready for winter..
Heirloom for HOwhattheFuck.
my old camera is simply terrible!i dont have a proper mirror in my apt so just trying to decide on getting the arms on this jacket slimmed down slightly, it will always be a bit off key as its articulated but i think just taking a little in on the fore and upper arm will help the shape
Some pics from the past week. I'm not 100% satisfied with any of these fits so comments/criticisms would be appreciated.

I wrote, wrote, wrote and now I'm back. And I'll write some more to affirm that I am a self-proclaimed member of the Universal Acclaim for Faust's Fit Pic Party. I've spent too much time thinking about the various ways in which a dark palette can be expressed without being too oppressively monochromatic. There are so many details to appreciate: the smoothed placket!, the texture of the scarf layered over it! - like two river stones seen through the current. And looking at the proportions of this composition, it's hard to see how you're on the shorter side. Proportions matter...speaking of which -
Flux: love, love, love. The pants look as if they were made expressly for you. You have chosen the perfect shape of pant to compliment your body shape and even your face. Are the pants two separate pieces or an attached skirt pant combo? Fantastic.
BrettChaotix: you wanted some opinions or suggestions...I think the central photo is emblematic of your "problem" that you've already intuited, which I think is styling flexibility You have some wonderful pieces, but the ways that you've put them together somehow manages to smother the spirit of the shirt, pant, etc. Pieces with a lot of potential look like they've been slotted into very "regular joe" roles. I think one way to really jog the imagination so that it will be possible to create a cohesive look with what you have is to look at the runway shows for the designers you like so that you can see the arc of the designers idea in each show and how those ideas are carried over across seasons to express a sort of philosophy. I think if you understand the designer's idea, it will be much easier to understand how to put your clothing together in creative ways. The first photo, though I can't see it very well, is edging to an idea. Sorry if this comes off as pedantic or confusing - I really want it to be constructive criticism! Hope it helps.
Seenmy: you have some incredible pieces. You should be able to retain the articulated shoulder even after taking the sleeve in -- the coat's proportions relative to your size is slightly off. Good luck...and show us a fit pic if you do have the sleeves brought in.
