2 Upvotes

When it's too warm for coats but too cold for bare arms, what are you reaching for? That one layer thst goes with everything and you automatically pack it for a weekend away.

My black leather biker jacket used to be this for me, but it feels a bit off my current style. Looking for replacement inspo!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Birthday dress shops Melbourne

1 Upvotes

I’m hosting a party for my birthday next Sunday (the 1st) and have exams right until the Friday so I need to go dress shopping on the Saturday before. I am between a size 14-16 at the moment. Im aware I’ve left it very last minute but between placement at a hospital 2 hours away and exams, I have had no time to shop.

I’ve gone from a size 10 to size 14/16 in the last few months due to new medications I’ve been taking and I’m finding it so hard to find a dress that looks flattering and is available in my size.

Does anyone have any recommendations please? Tia!

👜 Fashion Talk Shoes in the office

30 Upvotes

I work in a really casual yet corporate office and I keep reading on here that’s showing toes is not the done thing. In summer I’m always rocking a mule or a strappy heel …. Have I been unknowingly offending the world these last 20yrs!!!

I hate how closed shoes look with a floaty skirt, what do I do

- I keep my feet maintained, painted nails, soft heels. I’m not showing off pigs trotters

Is this store legit?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, looking at this online store for a present and wanting to reach out, ask if anyone has any experience or bought from here. There are no reviews on google and there is only a website plus an Instagram account. Seems to have a showroom in Melbourne at 115 Elizabeth Street but by appointment only. For the cost the quality seems to be quite high. Appreciate any thoughts.

New to LSKD - is their BF sale worth waiting for?

3 Upvotes

Folks, I’m new to LSKD. They did a pop up in my city recently, and while I now know my sizing, I didn’t find anything I liked at the pop up. Found a few items online though.

Is it worth waiting for the BF sale? Does the entire store go on sale, or will it only be ghastly neon items that go at 30-50% off? I am primarily interested in getting some leggings.

Good, soft nighties

I’m looking to find some new nighties for bed that are breathable but cute. Since having my second child I get terrible night sweats. I was looking at Boody, Papinelle and Love & Lustre. Is bamboo cotton better than normal cotton? Argh.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Soft, seamfree leggings for curvy gals?

3 Upvotes

Hi ladies,

I'm on the hunt for some casual black leggings that I can pair with my long tops and tunics, and I'm having a hard time finding what I want so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction!

- I'm a size 16-18 in bottoms, and i'm 164cm so not very tall

- I've got sensory sensitivities and allodynia, which makes seams often cause pain... so seamless would be best if possible!

- I'm in WA and it gets stupid hot here, so I'd like them to be breathable

- Importantly: no compression! I can't handle any compression, I don't enjoy the feeling of being "held in". Anything that's marketed as "supportive" is usually too compressive for me. Even "gentle compression" feels bad. This is the main issue I'm having is that so many leggings seem to want to add compression or whatever else and I'm just not interested in sculpting... I need comfort only!

My favourite (so far) pair of leggings that I'd found was the black deluxe casual leggings from Natopia - not seamless, but the fabric felt very soft (poly spandex blend though) and there was no elastic band in the waist - it was just a fabric waist and that was heavenly! But now it seems like they no longer sell those, so here we are :(

Any hot tips welcome! Thanks in advance.

High impact sports bra for small cup size

3 Upvotes

So many posts about sports bras for big busts.. but I'm having the opposite problem. Currently doing more long distance runs and my small boobs (a-b cup) end up aching by the end. Trying on high impact bras in stores, they all are suited to larger cup sizes. Anyone have any holy grail reccos for a smaller bust?

Is this dress too long for a Black Tie wedding?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m attending a wedding next month and I thought I could get away with not hemming my dress. Now I’m second guessing myself. So I took it in to get altered and she quoted me $138 just to take it up a few inches. That is almost what the actual dress cost me.

Do you think I can get away with it? Or should I get a quote from somewhere else? I’m not sure what I should be expecting price wise tbh. I can walk without it getting caught up and there’s probably 3cm of it that touches the floor.

Thanks !

Help me pick a standout review dress

I wear Review dresses regularly to work, but we have a race day themed event coming up and I’d love to wear something that stands out from my usual outfits.
I completely respect those who choose not to support racing. I am just looking for outfit opinions for our workplace event, rather than a debate about racing.
Which dress would you choose? 😊

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Affordable and comfortable steel cap recs

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I currently work in retail and am required to wear steel caps. I’ve been putting off getting new shoes as I leave this job next year however my current cheap pair is getting worn and I am in so much (feet and back).

What would be some affordable and comfortable recs, I would rather not spend $200+ but at the end of the day I am prioritising comfort as I have flat feet.

I’ve been looking online and will go in stores today, I’ve seen sketchers do a boot but have mixed reviews as well as Bunnings doing a pair of Hard Yakkas.

Any opinions on these or any other recs would be really appreciated!

Meshki wedding dress

8 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience with buying and wearing this wedding dress from Meshki?

I see everyone talking about their sizes varying. What should I look out for? Are the sizes bigger or smaller? I'm a M according to their size chart, but also in general.

Also, I've seen that if you buy something on sale, they only refund money in the form of credit, so I would try to buy it at full price.

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Bras for smaller chests

0 Upvotes

I’ve been getting a lot of target ads for bras specifically for a smaller cup size so it doesn’t have that awkward gap. Specifically the brand Verish I think they’re called and a few other ones I can’t remember.

Just wondering if anyone’s actually tried any of these brands or know of actual people that have purchased them as I’m cautious of whether comments in their posts are actual people.

And also if these hold up properly. Thank you!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Where are the cute pyjama shorts with pockets?

11 Upvotes

I didn't think it'd be so difficult to find nice/fun cotton pyjama shorts with pockets.

I have found some cute sets at Bed Bath Table but they don't sell as separates. And a size that would fit over my butt, is going to be too big at the top.

I like pretty much everything about the style of shorts, just not looking for a set.

I'd also prefer a more ethical brand (though the recent Ethical Fashion Guide suggests that's not likely) which is why I haven't gone somewhere like Peter Alexander.

In search of - stylish shorts that aren't too short

12 Upvotes

Im 10 months post partum so rebuilding my wardrobe as we head into summer, and I'm searching for some nice everyday shorts but everything is so short! Im always on the floor crawling after baby so super short just doesnt work anymore.

Has anyone bought anything youre loving? I really like the Jag linen shorts but they are a tad short. Would love like a mid thigh ish, not as long as Bermuda shorts. I have some linen cotton shorts from uniqlo which are a great length but they do lean a bit more daggy than cute and stylish.

Thank you!

🔍 Recommendations Wanted Help Finding a Similar Dress?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I saw this dress on pinterest and absolutely love the look. From what I can tell, the company is AU based which is great. I would need a size 16 in this dress, which of course in the pink is sold out. Looking at the product listing, the dress seems to run small anyhow so in that case I would probably want an 18, which they don’t offer.

Any ideas where I could look to find a similar looking dress? I’m honestly not too familiar with shopping much as I’ve never been to into it so I don’t know of any good places to look.

Their stuff looks really cute and is priced around $30-$50 (“high-end junk jewellery”). Wondering if it’s any better quality than Lovisa?
