There's a strange sort of balancing act when it comes to describing an OC's stuff. Too much, and it feels you're putting extraneous attention on the character. Not enough, and the reader won't get a good image of who this person is.
That said, it's up to how you write it and describe it. Some can successfully describe a character in just a few sentences. Others, a few more. One thing you could do is post the excerpt and perhaps a reference image, and those here can compare and contrast.
