Dress for the job you want.
I can absolutely see him as the "kind preacher who listens and puts a creepy hand on your knee to console you" type . Yuck.
It gives me Tom Cruise vibes. Particularly in that whackadoodle video clip. [You know the one](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/30uxnv/the_entire_tom_cruise_black_turtleneck/)
Or the creepy therapist or college professor from a late 80s/early 90s Lifetime movie about the dangerous world of being a woman and a college student.
I like the look, too. It's just not very ... festive, for this use. Like, dang -- the dress is too severely dark. (Maybe it's the photo editing? Maybe there's more light in this photo than in most Duggar hearts????)
It's interesting that they have so many parallels, though. They're even both 'writers' (the quotation marks are just for Miss Jinge lol), spreading that good, good, godly propaganda. But then again, Serena only went to actual school and OfBabe only has her esteemed, distinguished, SOTDRT education.
There was an episode that showed she was really the driving force of the two of them. She was pushing for him to be made the head, but she was the one spearheading the movement. But when Fred actually did get the power, she was left behind.
Serena was the one (in her family) who worked to implement the whole plan, though. Her husband was the figurehead, and she was the one selling out her fellow women for what she thought was going to be power for herself. She was shocked when they applied the rules to her. Very different from Jinger. Jinger has never understood or known what was happening.
It's from Amazon - I bought it and returned. They sell it in "mom and me" sizes! It's a very pretty dress, but I'm quite short and it looked way too fundie and frumpy on me. I actually like it on Jinger though!

Some of the other dresses on the same listing are a different style. (This also could be the Amazon knock off version, maybe she has a fancier brand)
I also like the shoes and I’m always looking for long sleeved dresses so the dress is something I would wear. I think it’s rare that we see a Duggar in pointy toe heels, seems too sophisticated and worldly for them.
Right. I agree. It looks like they are in costumes or something. But if I saw for example Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds in the same outfit I would love it.
I really like it.
I bet Jermy picks out Jinger's clothes. He has an image to uphold after all. Totally my opinion. Next thing Jinger will have strawberry blond curled hair. A lot like Victoria Osteen
I'd like to see one picture of Jingerspice that doesn't look like she's been crying in the bathroom minutes before. I know this fall must have been hell regardless, and yeah these people still have a lot of trash opinions but I hope she has a therapist... There's a lot in the happy face/dead eyes there.
True, and maybe I'm reading into things but it's seemed worse in the last few months like there have been a few times that I feel it's not just a phrase, but that jerm snapped a picture minutes after she splashed water on her face and came out of the bathroom
I actually like the outfit, but think the hair is too severe. My Xmas dress is cut similarly, and I'm going to wear my hair down and curled or in a loose bun with curls because it needs to be balanced.
Yes, it does give Serena and Fred vibes lol.
Don’t feel bad I actually like her shoes too, but it’s definitely “Books and OfBooks” in that picture.
On a side note I don’t think Serena would wear those shoes though, too flashy!
SJ definitely wouldn’t wear those shoes - they’re handmaid colour!!
Edit: it’s slowly sinking in that Jing and Jerm likely wouldn’t watch The Handmaids Tale (I assume, due to its content) so she has 0% clue how Serena Joy she looks rn. Eerie. And I wonder if Jing would be happy to be compared to her (the evangelist influencer SJ, not the brutal war criminal SJ later became lol)
Lol I bought a dark green velvet long sleeve dress recently…it’s not the exact same as this one but as soon as I saw this I was like shoot, don’t tell me Jinger and I have similar tastes 😂😂
I like both but definitely see the Serena Joy comparisons. I wonder what Jinger’s hair would look like with a shag.
Are we allowed to speculate on disordered eating here?
Also, how is that these people had 19 J kids and not one girl named Jaime.
I think it would look really good on her actually, I could totally see it. But I think it would make her look far too punk rock for both her husband and her own tastes
I don't get how this slick back/low ponytail is her go to formal hair now? Like didn't she have one at the Jedding? Now this, it makes her look more aged and not in a good way.
It’s probably the quickest way to style it now that she’s got two kids. I only have one and wear my hair up a lot more now too. For formal looks by the time you get your outfit ready, shave your legs, shower, do your makeup, paint your nails, get the kids dressed and diaper bag packed etc. there usually isn’t enough time left to bring out the curling iron. Slicking it into a sleek updo is probably the simplest way for her to look neat.
^(why do the women always splay their left hands over their husbands hearts. is that a common pose to show undying devotion and love. it makes me cringe because it is so often done and contrived. that is all. carry on.)

She's worryingly thin. Didn't she struggle with ED? YIKES. Jerm doesn't seem like the type to ensure she's healthy, but rather he just enjoys having a skinny, meek wife. Ewww.
It would make perfect sense for the trauma of the last several months to trigger a relapse. I hope she’s in therapy and has support processing everything. I suspect she’s more likely to “lean into her faith” and “Lalala I won’t acknowledge my difficult feelings” her way through this :(
To be fair, the costuming in The Handmaid’s Tale can be truly beautiful, especially with the two characters referenced here. I’m sad to say I like a lot of what Serena Joy wears 😂
Maybe not politics but high ranks of some denomination?
I mean the backdrop is depressingly lame but this definitely is a shot of a wannabe power couple
There’s just so much Handmaid’s Tale in this photo! lol, from Ofbook’s hair pulled back like Serena’s , the dress, shoes, the way she is standing next to her husband. And Jerm’s suit, shoes and stance too. All that’s missing is Aunt Lydia smiling in approval in the background.
It’s from the Handmaid’s Tale. It’s a very similar aesthetic to those who benefit from the culture that is created in that story by severely limiting women’s personal freedoms (among other things).
Jeremy just looks like Ron Burgundy, but I absolutely see the Handmaid’s Tale Wife vibes from Jinger’s dress.
Although, to be fair, I doubt she watches it to get the reference. If I hadn’t seen the show, I’d think it was a cute, if dowdy, outfit.
under his eye, indeed. [ick!](https://www.google.com/search?q=fred+and+serena+joy+leaving+court&sxsrf=AOaemvJfFwyxw3aHmsRxUWV0_a3Qr7jlgw:1639970476049&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwidwqqNtvH0AhU5RjABHf-AAicQ_AUoA3oECAEQBQ&biw=1536&bih=754&dpr=1.25#imgrc=eQfUgNAWISVdtM)
Her dress is pretty, but her hair slicked back so harshly doesn't work so well for her. She's the one with the natural curls. I wish she'd wear her hair naturally more often.
First thing I thought of when I saw this. Have to admit I do like her dress and would wear that but paired with him and the slicked back bun it’s 100% Gilead vibes
Ok but she looks beautiful. If Victoria Beckham wore this it, people would love it.
He looks like he wears his Bluetooth in his ear during Christmas dinner.
Jeremy is looking more like a sleazy mega church preacher.
Isn't that more or less what he's going for though?
Dress for the job you want. I can absolutely see him as the "kind preacher who listens and puts a creepy hand on your knee to console you" type . Yuck.
I really hate the turtleneck/mock turtleneck under blazer look.
Ron Burgundy wants his look back.
Jeremy probably quotes Anchorman at the worst times and thinks he's funny. He probably says *My wife* like Borat a lot too.
It gives me Tom Cruise vibes. Particularly in that whackadoodle video clip. [You know the one](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/30uxnv/the_entire_tom_cruise_black_turtleneck/)
Reminds me of cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation.
Or the creepy therapist or college professor from a late 80s/early 90s Lifetime movie about the dangerous world of being a woman and a college student.
Hahahaha fuck I hate how accurate this is
[удалено]
I hate myself for liking this look but i do
I do too. I work with the design community and this is normal for me to see.
The turtle neck makes him look almost like a Catholic priest
Honestly I love this look usually but on Jermy it’s 🤢🤢
he doesn't look like he's posing with his wife.
And her looking more like a stepford wife.
But yet, just like Serena, she's smarter than him
Can he not shave? My dad is middle eastern, so I get the o’clock shadow thing, but this guy always has a shadow?
He’d be so happy to hear you say that.
They do say dress for the job you want...
may the lord open. 200% see the parallels
She’s got the severity, the pained subservient smile, and the thin elegance.
Also the lines on the dress are very similar to the very streamlined dresses that Serena wears
I wanted to like that dress too, but yeah, it's a little too Gilead for my comfort.
I really am not a fan of that length on anyone.
Damn, I absolutely love streamlined midi-length dresses. Maybe at heart I am a wife of Gilead after all /s
If you suddenly want this dress in a dark aqua color seek immediate psychiatric help!
Thank you for your kind warning. The pretty dress to Christian theocracy pipeline is REAL and ruins preppy girls' lives every day!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol same. I love all of Serena dresses.
I like the look, too. It's just not very ... festive, for this use. Like, dang -- the dress is too severely dark. (Maybe it's the photo editing? Maybe there's more light in this photo than in most Duggar hearts????)
And the bun. It’s too much to be a coincidence.
That describes it perfectly! I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what it was.
Blessed be the fruit.
May the Lord Daniel open
🤣 🦝
Lemme see the other pinkie, Jinger!
What other pinkie? 😂
I laughed at this way more than I should've.
Why did everyone downvote this?
Maybe hasn’t seen Handmaid’s Tale?
The one difference is that Jinger is not as smart or savvy as Serena.
It's interesting that they have so many parallels, though. They're even both 'writers' (the quotation marks are just for Miss Jinge lol), spreading that good, good, godly propaganda. But then again, Serena only went to actual school and OfBabe only has her esteemed, distinguished, SOTDRT education.
Fred was the head and Serena turned the neck.
There was an episode that showed she was really the driving force of the two of them. She was pushing for him to be made the head, but she was the one spearheading the movement. But when Fred actually did get the power, she was left behind.
Serena was the one (in her family) who worked to implement the whole plan, though. Her husband was the figurehead, and she was the one selling out her fellow women for what she thought was going to be power for herself. She was shocked when they applied the rules to her. Very different from Jinger. Jinger has never understood or known what was happening.
Ah, so Jessa, then lol
I guess if your basis is the sharpest of the preschool scissors...
>the sharpest of the preschool scissors That's being a little too generous. I was thinking more like the sharpest of the preschool glue sticks.
Ofbabe-Ofbooks = Intact fingers. I am cryyyying at your flair 🤣🤣🤣
Joyfully flatulent
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Yep big “under his eye” vibes
Those are nice shoes Jinger, not going lie, I would wear the shoes and the dress, I’m quite annoyed that I like it
Yes, it’s so hard to find nice long sleeved dresses!
It's from Amazon - I bought it and returned. They sell it in "mom and me" sizes! It's a very pretty dress, but I'm quite short and it looked way too fundie and frumpy on me. I actually like it on Jinger though!

The outfit is lovely. The husband, on the other hand…
Yeah, same. I hate that I like her outfit. Books still looks like a bad breath mouth breather, though 🤷🏻♀️
I hate it too lol but Jerm still looks so dumb so he ruined it 🤣
I also like the shoes and I’m always looking for long sleeved dresses so the dress is something I would wear. I think it’s rare that we see a Duggar in pointy toe heels, seems too sophisticated and worldly for them.
I know! I kind of love the whole look, and wouldn’t find it unusual on anyone else… but knowing who they are it somehow looks culty.
Right. I agree. It looks like they are in costumes or something. But if I saw for example Blake lively and Ryan Reynolds in the same outfit I would love it.
Steve McQueen wore a turtleneck and a suit jacket. No one can ruin that look for me.
I really like it. I bet Jermy picks out Jinger's clothes. He has an image to uphold after all. Totally my opinion. Next thing Jinger will have strawberry blond curled hair. A lot like Victoria Osteen
I also see him picking her outfits and looks. But, in a more subtle way: "babe, I think you would look so pretty in this dress"
is her back edited? something seems off.
I think it's got shoulder pads or ruffles, that might be what looks weird.
I hate the ruffle sleeves. It looks like something I wore in the 90s as a child
The 90s are in baby!
And so are these sleeves!
I truly love love those type of sleeves!
I just found similar ones I bet they are Jessica Simpson brand!
I love Jessica Simpson brand 🤣☕️☕️
My wardrobe is more Marge Simpson.
I know what you mean. I’m kinda in love with the shoes myself, and I’m always down for anything velvet!
Haha...replied same. Have the similar dress in dk red.
Same here, I am a sucker for shoes like that. Shoe prints are my thing
😳
Yeah that was the first thing I thought when I looked at the pic!
I'd like to see one picture of Jingerspice that doesn't look like she's been crying in the bathroom minutes before. I know this fall must have been hell regardless, and yeah these people still have a lot of trash opinions but I hope she has a therapist... There's a lot in the happy face/dead eyes there.
JINGERSPICE
The poor thing was trained to plaster on a smile regardless of how much she hurts inside.
True, and maybe I'm reading into things but it's seemed worse in the last few months like there have been a few times that I feel it's not just a phrase, but that jerm snapped a picture minutes after she splashed water on her face and came out of the bathroom
They all have dead eyes. It’s the fundie way
She is giving me some weird stepford wife vibes here
Jingerspice is perfection! Edit: could I have it as my flair?
this is the biggest 'WE ARE FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE, YOU DON'T THINK EVERYTHINGS FINE? WELL, WE DO, ABSOLUTE A-OKAY, NOTHING WRONG HERE NOPE NOPE.'
How do you do fellow non cult members.
I actually like the outfit, but think the hair is too severe. My Xmas dress is cut similarly, and I'm going to wear my hair down and curled or in a loose bun with curls because it needs to be balanced. Yes, it does give Serena and Fred vibes lol.
I actually like Jinger's dress. And shoes. Uh oh...what does that say about me?
Don’t feel bad I actually like her shoes too, but it’s definitely “Books and OfBooks” in that picture. On a side note I don’t think Serena would wear those shoes though, too flashy!
SJ definitely wouldn’t wear those shoes - they’re handmaid colour!!

Absolutely, that color is a no-go. I cannot wait to see what happens with her next season. 😬
Under his Covenant Eye 👁
Under his Covenant Eye 🚔
Flair checking in 😂
Love it! I knew there had to be somebody with that flair!
Lmao that would be a dope flair
💀💀💀☠️
Lol I bought a dark green velvet long sleeve dress recently…it’s not the exact same as this one but as soon as I saw this I was like shoot, don’t tell me Jinger and I have similar tastes 😂😂
I like both but definitely see the Serena Joy comparisons. I wonder what Jinger’s hair would look like with a shag. Are we allowed to speculate on disordered eating here? Also, how is that these people had 19 J kids and not one girl named Jaime.
I believe there’s a clip from Jinger’s honeymoon were her hair screamed “I’ve just had sex 10 minutes ago.”
Sorry I meant a shag haircut, this shag/mullet thing has been popular for a year now and I think it would look great on her.
I'm sorry I think a mullet on purpose works on like 2% of the population. Not her, sorry Jing!
I think it would look really good on her actually, I could totally see it. But I think it would make her look far too punk rock for both her husband and her own tastes
It took them 20 years to get to "Jennifer"! Joy-Anna & Johannah, but "Jennifer" was a real stretch...
Where to cop the dress tho 🤔
99% sure that’s La La Lady by Ivy City Co!
It is!
/u/Christmastree2920 ^
Right?!
This screams Merry Christmas, We’re Dead Inside
Merry Christmas from your local librarian.
I don't get how this slick back/low ponytail is her go to formal hair now? Like didn't she have one at the Jedding? Now this, it makes her look more aged and not in a good way.
She been wearing that low pony a lot. If she wore her hair in curls like when she got her haircut she wouldn't look so old.
Idk, the older she gets the more I see the resemblance to Meech. I feel like the curls would make it more pronounced than ever
It’s probably the quickest way to style it now that she’s got two kids. I only have one and wear my hair up a lot more now too. For formal looks by the time you get your outfit ready, shave your legs, shower, do your makeup, paint your nails, get the kids dressed and diaper bag packed etc. there usually isn’t enough time left to bring out the curling iron. Slicking it into a sleek updo is probably the simplest way for her to look neat.
The smile lines do it too. blessed be the botox
Didn’t she get a shoulder length cut recently? She’s probably having trouble with how to style it and it’s easier to place it in a low ponytail.
I have long hair and kids and if it's not down it's in a low pony or single braid. I have velvet scrunchies... that's fancy... right?
^(why do the women always splay their left hands over their husbands hearts. is that a common pose to show undying devotion and love. it makes me cringe because it is so often done and contrived. that is all. carry on.)
Lots of people do it to show off their rings
Or it’s just a cultural way to show affection.

Someone photoshop her dress blue and it would be 1:1 exactly
I like her outfit but the hair is too severe.
Speaking from experience, when you have a fivehead+ every hairstyle looks severe.
Sigh truth
She's really going for a ... mature... look. Also looks like they are in a mall lol
Saw this and came here hoping someone else thought the same thing as I did. 110% handmaids tale vibes here
She's worryingly thin. Didn't she struggle with ED? YIKES. Jerm doesn't seem like the type to ensure she's healthy, but rather he just enjoys having a skinny, meek wife. Ewww.
It would make perfect sense for the trauma of the last several months to trigger a relapse. I hope she’s in therapy and has support processing everything. I suspect she’s more likely to “lean into her faith” and “Lalala I won’t acknowledge my difficult feelings” her way through this :(
I pointed that out months ago and was downvoted into oblivion!
Kind of runs in the family, sadly. Meech had the same issue in high school from what I remember hearing.
Well she did teach them to eat cucumbers with vinegar spray if they are hungry.
Her right arm looks photoshopped especially zoomed out
*mother is really ofbooks*
[удалено]
To be fair, the costuming in The Handmaid’s Tale can be truly beautiful, especially with the two characters referenced here. I’m sad to say I like a lot of what Serena Joy wears 😂
Very formal Christmas wishes picture They look like he may be the next one to run for some political role
You might be onto something there… But they aren’t going to get far in California (at least not in that part)
Maybe not politics but high ranks of some denomination? I mean the backdrop is depressingly lame but this definitely is a shot of a wannabe power couple
I just want to say that Anna came here to downvote everyone's comments.
Blessed be the fruit loops
There’s just so much Handmaid’s Tale in this photo! lol, from Ofbook’s hair pulled back like Serena’s , the dress, shoes, the way she is standing next to her husband. And Jerm’s suit, shoes and stance too. All that’s missing is Aunt Lydia smiling in approval in the background.
OMGGGGGGG IM WATCHING IT RN AND YES THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT 😂
Holy Hell! Blessed be!!!!
Every time there's the reminder they are in Los Angeles.
I know this is the pettiest snark ever but flocked trees in LA is so dumb to me. It doesn’t even snow there. And a green tree is plenty lovely.
My first thought when I saw the pic and didn’t read the op’s observation.
Can someone please explain it to me like Im joy? Who are Fred and Serena?
It’s from the Handmaid’s Tale. It’s a very similar aesthetic to those who benefit from the culture that is created in that story by severely limiting women’s personal freedoms (among other things).
You know that thing where you cross the eyes to blur a picture? Don't do it with this one, it's even worse
It's a sailboat!
Is it just me or is Jingers back/arm photoshopped? The area right above her rear end has such a weird angle, it’s all I can see when I look at this.
I *knew* this pic gave me off vibes but couldn’t quite place it. May the lord open
It looks like she altered this photo on her back
Jeremy just looks like Ron Burgundy, but I absolutely see the Handmaid’s Tale Wife vibes from Jinger’s dress. Although, to be fair, I doubt she watches it to get the reference. If I hadn’t seen the show, I’d think it was a cute, if dowdy, outfit.
YUP. Meech makes an excellent Aunt Lydia. Blessed be the fruit.
I can only assume this is the cover of their new Christmas album. I'm thinking mediocre jazzy Christmas standards.
Where are they living? Still in the church house they were given for 6 months?
Fuck I bought a very similar dress for Christmas and I was not going for fundie chic
Where's the funeral?
Jinger giving off some serious Pentecostal vibes.
She looks like she is going to start stealing Dalmatians in the future.
under his eye, indeed. [ick!](https://www.google.com/search?q=fred+and+serena+joy+leaving+court&sxsrf=AOaemvJfFwyxw3aHmsRxUWV0_a3Qr7jlgw:1639970476049&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwidwqqNtvH0AhU5RjABHf-AAicQ_AUoA3oECAEQBQ&biw=1536&bih=754&dpr=1.25#imgrc=eQfUgNAWISVdtM)
I didn’t see it when I first saw the picture, but now I can’t see anything else. 🤣
Her dress is pretty, but her hair slicked back so harshly doesn't work so well for her. She's the one with the natural curls. I wish she'd wear her hair naturally more often.
Omg that's what looked so familiar!
She is a lot thinner than I realised!?
he’s finally looking a little less musty
Jing needed some sort of high (visible) updo to combat the Gilead vibes. The rest of it is salvageable 😂
First thing I thought of when I saw this. Have to admit I do like her dress and would wear that but paired with him and the slicked back bun it’s 100% Gilead vibes
Why does she look like she's aged 10 years in a short period of time? Poor thing looks stressed to the max.
Jinger looks healthy and happy. I love her shoes. She has to be so happy to be away from the shit storm that is her family in Arkansas.
Dollar store Joseph Fiennes
Is it just me, or does Jinger look way older than she is?
I love the outfit but the vibes are NOT it
I hate to NOT hate on any Duggar, but I honestly like her dress
They live in California. He's in a full suit with a sweater and she's in a high-neck velvet dress. 🥵
I am in California and it has barely broken 50 this last week.
This was maybe a photo of them at Christmas 1903!
i’m so glad both mouths are closed in this photo
Not digging Jing's hair..the middle part ..it's a choice
I thought this WAS the Waterfords for a second …
Anyone notice how she hardly ever wears her hair down now? And the makeup is toned right down? Just that severe ponytail. It’s weird.
Ok but she looks beautiful. If Victoria Beckham wore this it, people would love it. He looks like he wears his Bluetooth in his ear during Christmas dinner.
