Quinta Brunson’s Ports 1961 suit is a bit too… off-kilter. I think it’s the button-down shirt under the suit – if she wore a crewneck knit top, it would have worked better, right? [GFY]

    Quinta’s suit is a little bunchy on her. I wish the fit were better.

    • Peanut Butter says:

      Same! I feel like her suit could have been great but missed the mark somewhat in terms of the fit and the drape of the design. It’s a gorgeous fabric, and I do like that she tried something different and distinctive.

    • BeanieBean says:

      I think it’s cute, but agree with the fit being off. For myself, I’d like it better without the white trim, but I’m boring.

      • Just Me says:

        As Kaiser said a fitted top would be so much better. And it’s too much fabric for her small frame so tailoring here or there would definitely make a difference.

    • North of Boston says:

      There is so much potential in this, but the tailoring and fit did her wrong.

      The sleeves and legs are too long for her limbs, the cut is too wide across her torso/hips, the shoulders are too wide and large for her frame, and the sleeves are cut too wide/loose for her body. Plus the fabric is too bulky with too many layers for the height and width of the design especially on someone her height.

      It’s like whoever designed this had zero sense of proportion; if they had scaled down elements to be right for her body it could have been pretty good.

      Also, as a short person I’ve learned I can go voluminous on only one thing: sleeves, legs OR torso (and then only width OR length not both)

      Even 2 is overwhelming even if it’s well tailored. All 3 like this is unthinkable.

    The covid brain shift is not surprising. Remember how 2020 seemed to go on for three years? Then we thought 2021 would shift back to normal time but it, too, seemed to take longer than a year.

    Psychologists are going to be studying the effect of that period on our brains, perceptions, and mental/emotional growth (or lack of in some cases) for a very long time.

      My sense of time is completely off. It’s bizarre. My 20 year old says its a sign of trauma – and having PTSD I process trauma differently.

      • Christine says:

        My brain can’t grasp that 2019 wasn’t 2 years ago, no matter how many pep talks I give it.

  3. Coco says:

    I love the color on Quinta, and I even like the suit I think my problem with it is the fit is off.

    The sleeves are too long, and the blazer need tobe tailored to fit her better. As for the pants you can actually see that they’re too long, and they just been tucked under they need to be cut and hemmed; properly so it falls right.

    • Eurydice says:

      She’s adorable but the suit is for a taller body. I think I would prefer this as separates – everything all together is too much.

  4. girl_ninja says:

    That suit doesn’t fit her well at all and I think she should reconsider the formal topknot. I don’t think it compliments her round face will.

    Why is Kendell Roy a baby girl when he’s really a like baby man bitch?

    Ahhh, Taylor’s fans being extra…like Taylor.

  5. HeyKay says:

    The color is nice but the fit looks tight across her top, the sleeves and pants look too long, and it would have looked better with a different color under the jacket, IMO.

    The pulled tight top knot hair is not flattering, maybe a chin length soft wave instead?

  6. HeyKay says:

    Links above Re: Federline being sued for school tuition, what is he doing with all the child support money he gets from Britney?
    Pay the tuition for the 2 boys they share!

  7. j.ferber says:

    HeyKay, He didn’t pay the tuition for the two little girls he shares with his now-wife. You just KNOW he’ll use Brittney’s money for that, or maybe he’s too important to actually pay his bills.

    OT: I’m wondering if anyone else thinks that Scottie Pippen is going after Michael Jordan right now because his ex Larsa is dating Jordan’s son?
    Or just coincidence?

    I remember lockdown clearly.In way was best part of my life. Weather was beautiful and I spent time home sunbathing and exercising with my son in our garden.Just week prior to lockdown I ended my 14y abusive relationship so it was first time I and my son could be relaxed, enjoying weather and home learning.We baked a lot and played lots of games in garden together during first lockdown.I made some money off selling exes sports equipment when all gyms were closed hahaha. And by second lockdown we were allowed walks we spent great time on the beach (I live 4min.from beach) surfing and taking long walks on our golf course which was open for walks but closed to sports.
    We were lucky ones that didnt get sick with covid at all and blessed that we not lost any loved ones.
    I will cherish it as my therapeutic year off from stress, but I know most people suffered.

  10. Mel says:

    The suit is too much for her frame. As another height challenged person I can say there’s way too much going on and it makes her wider, not taller I think she’s adorable but she tends to wear things that are suited to a much taller person. Her stylist is failing her.

    The incident? We were a large HS so we had a few.

    Someone was stabbed in the back of the neck (everyone survived), there was a brawl with people using lead pipes (also everyone survived), and we had a gym teacher date a student as soon as she graduated.

    • North of Boston says:

      Gross to the teacher/student thing; we had multiple cases of that. I remember there was a whole clique who had a crappy prom night because the married calculus teacher chose that day to confess she was in love / lust with one of them and offer to leave her husband for him. Sent him into a tailspin which sent his date into a tailspin and made that the focus of the whole night for their whole friend group: him being upset, GF being upset other people trying to comfort him, people talking about the situation.

    There were a few “incidents” at my high school. The biggest one was that my Senior year, about ten people (half in my class and half the class below me) got kicked out for buying cocaine. One couple collected the money from people who wanted some, then flew to another country (I think it was Columbia but it might have been Venezuela) over a long weekend and bought it. They got busted at JFK airport on the way back. They got in trouble with the law, though because they were very young and it was a first offense (and they were white) they didn’t do any jail time.

    The buyers had a paper list with all of the initials of people who had given money for the coke. Those people just got kicked out of school. Most of them tried to deny it at first but eventually confessed. The only one who told the truth from the beginning was suspended for a week and given a ton of community service hours. He’s a doctor now. He’s a good guy. To be fair, he was the only one in the whole school whose last name started with a Z, so I think he probably figured it was pointless to try to deny it anyway.

    I was not one of the ones kicked out, for the record. I had a good friend who was.
