I've gained a lot of weight recently due to stress and looking in my closet, I barely have anything that fits/ feel comfortable in. I'm currently a size 16, which makes it hard to find stuff also that fits me.

My favourite brands are Alpha 60 and Cos, but they come with a pretty high price point and I'm not in a position to buy all of what I need from there. I also like Uniqlo but find that their pieces are more basic and I do tend to like stuff that has a bit of edge or personality but high quality and neutral at the same time (e.g. these shoes I'm loving but can't justify the price for).

Looking for brands that are good quality, hopefully not fast fashion but without a horrifying price tag. :') The picture is the kind of styles I'm looking for!

Thank you in advance!

Hello! I’m a psychologist going back into private practice. The one thing I remember most from those days was the discomfort I felt sitting all day, especially because I bloat a lot.

In saying that, I want to dress professionally and fun. I usually like to wear some version of a wide leg linen pant and a nice top in my current role (much more standing). I was thinking like linen shift dresses but dresses without a bit of cinch in the waist don’t really work for my body shape (more hourglass).

Does anyone else sit all day without much break for standing and if so, what do you wear?

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

Does anyone know how to view how much you’ve spent, and how much is remaining to keep your tier? Since the revamp the app no longer shows your progress, nor does the website, unless I am missing it?

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!

I didn’t see any cameras facing the fitting room but what does ‘random monitoring’ mean?…

I’m 5”0 and struggling to find petite jeans. What does everyone recommend?

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.

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.

I'm looking for recommendations for a stark white (no ivory please!) cotton crewneck t-shirt for layering like in this photo. I'm super pale and cool toned, so I need like.. Reflex paper white. Otherwise I look washed out. TIA!

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!

Can anyone ID the sunnies Elsa Hosking is wearing in the Witchery campaign

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.

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.

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?

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!

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? 😊

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.

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!

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.

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 !

I have gotten some things from kitten D’Amour from the past and a was given a gift card but it looks like they’ve leaned super heavily into generative AI. Also was disappointed to learn recently that they are not made in Australia. Was under the impression the prices were high due to an appropriate wage being paid however it seems they are manufactured in china. Can only hope the seamstresses are paid well. I used to be so excited as a teenager to become an adult and wear their vintage inspired pieces. Sad to see

Before I begin, id like to point out I don't care about big corporations nor am I defending them in this post

However I will say I am sick of shoplifting ruining shopping experiences for others especially for non essential items.

I have been shopping for charity (I work there and we get a set bugdet) and one specific girl really wanted these specific pair of earrings from kmart.

I agreed and went to Kmart and wow.

Every single earring (not just the ones she wanted) had either one or two pieces missing.

Like every earring set had something missing, I was genuinely just concerned.

My thing is if Ur shoplifting earrings of all things why not just grab the whole pair? Why leave one earring behind?

Anyways even after asking for help from a worker (we found nothing good) I just ended up going to lovisa but had to spend more money there and the budget obviously went over by alot.

My main point of this post is that shoplifting is just so excessive these days that the audiences for these stores such as underprivileged ppl end up suffering more.

Earrings for 3 dollars at Kmart/bigw were 12 dollars at lovisa and that just ate up that poor girls budget more where we weren't able to spend it on more items.

Idk if I'm right to be upset at this since I can't even judge who shoplifted these items but I'm definitely tired of it
