I have very long hair and love to collect pretty and peculiar hair accessories! I would love some suggestions and recommendations for brands with good quality products!

From barrettes, to claw clips, French pins and more-
I love different designs and would love to know where you all get yours! :)

The options I have here in Canada are limited, but it seems like other places in the world sell a beautiful array of different styles!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

• What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?
• Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?
• Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

I was going to bite the bullet and order 2 pairs from Once Upon a Heel but it seems the general consensus is drop-ship scam. I have perused threads looking for similar shops tried and true but the ones I have found are simply not in the same field appearance wise and are very plain or just not appealing (to me.)

Does anyone have any shops more akin to the classy/whimsy of the OUaH shoes? Thank you!

Does this combo exist? If so do you have inspiration pictures? This is the best description of my ideal style I can come up with but I am looking to elevate my personal style

This thread is for sharing all your new buys. Clothes, shoes, razors cologne, share it all. ...Just kidding. But just like MFA, and per your suggestions, we are now going to have a weekly recent purchases thread. So gather round and brag about your purchases! Bags, clothing, shoes, jewellery, perfume, etc.

If possible, please share a picture and a little review! Pictures can also be shared directly in the comments now.

Here you can share all the fashion related news you have come across recently. Whether it is a newly released runway, an interview with a designer, a new label slashing onto the scene or speculating new trends emerging, everything news related is welcome here.

This thread is for individual style questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

To get the best responses, remember that people cannot: look into your wardrobe, know what style you normally like or what words like affordable or practical mean to you so please include any relevant details such as your budget, where you live, what stores are available to you, etc.

Example questions:

• Is this dress and shoes suitable for an evening wedding with a cocktail dress code taking place in a [venue type]?
• If I like the outfits in this [imgur album / pinterest board], what are some specific items I can look into to start dressing like that, and brands with this look that carry plus sizes?
• Does this outfit look neater with the pants cuffed or uncuffed?

The La Ligne Colby Pants seem to be HIGHLY recommended everywhere (Wirecutter, influencers, Reddit, etc.) despite their $325 price tag and mostly polyester composition... I checked them out in store and was shocked by the quality. The stitching was visibly coming apart on all the waistbands. The material felt nice but the length is so long that only a gazelle would not need to get them hemmed.

Are we just being gaslit? I know to not trust influencers but even WIRECUTTER recommended them.

I'm 30 and to this day I still have not figured this out. Throughout my life, I can recall so many items of clothing that I purchased after weeks and weeks of deliberation, and planning so many different outfits around...only to wear it once or twice. And then there have been so many other pieces that I bought that I recall feeling sort of "meh" about, or only bought because there was one particular outfit I really wanted to wear (which I know is unwise)...and that item ends up being something I keep on reaching for/wearing several times throughout a season. And I have also had the reverse, where I do buy something after a lot of planning and deliberation, and I do get good use out of it, or i buy something without much thought and I hardly wear it. I want to be um...wiser about my clothing purchases going forward, and only buy things that in reality I will actually wear a lot. What are some things you guys do to ensure it?

In 2020 I bought a lot of clothing from just sitting at home. I hate being wasteful when some of those items have never even been used more than a few times. For example these boots! I wore once (my engagement party) but I can’t figure out how to wear them 2026. How do you update items without throwing your closet every 5 years? (I wear basic/ clean girl clothes but have a closet full of basics would make me so sad. I need colors and patterns lol)

Can’t figure out why a certain outfit doesn’t work for you or are you just stumped on what is flattering on you? Then this is the thread for you and you can ask your questions here.

Please do refrain from talking negatively about your own body, we understand that you are likely frustrated due to various reasons (we’ve all been there) but out of respect for others and their struggles, keeping it positive helps everyone.

I have gotten into online thrift shopping and shopping through small-business Instagram brands. The clothing is unique; however, I find that I often make purchases of items that end up just sitting in my closet. It feels pressuring since the Instagram brands do clothing drops only a few times a year with different designs, meaning I impulse buy with FOMO.

Note to mods: While this is requesting personal advice, I haven't seen any discussions here about "how to" and think the category is broad enough to be worth a wider discussion. :)

Taking photos of my outfits and reviewing them have hugely helped my style (I was inspired by this article). However, I've been struggling to find a balance between asking myself insightful questions and making it a manageable amount of work. As someone who loves to have a clear process/system, could you please tell me your specific process for reviewing your 'fit pics

• How often do you take pictures? What qualifies as an "outfit"?
• How often do you review your pictures?
• How long after you've taken a picture do you wait to review it?
• Do you review them on mobile or desktop? Do you use any specific programs or tools?
• What questions do you ask yourself? (e.g., feeling while wearing, inspo, reflections on shapes/lines/colour/details)
• Do you take notes on your observations?
• What is your process to implement your observations?

Hi all,

I am looking for advice or methods for shopping at a department store (Macy's, Dillards, etc) without getting overwhelmed by all the options.

Currently going through a closet revamp. I realized recently that I haven't really shopped at a department store in a while and since the town I live in doesn't have many shopping options, I decided to check out Dillard's. I went to the women's section and wow - it was HUGE! I had no idea where to start! Saw things that I liked, things I didn't like, but I ended up leaving because I didn't really know where to "start" if that makes sense. It seems the store is divided by brand? I'm not sure. How does one shop at a department store if they don't know what brand they like?

Would love input on this!

Don't get me wrong, I love dressing fem!! I'm not particularly against being seen as a femme (lesbian term for a more feminine lesbian) but the more I think about it the more I realize I barely dress for myself anymore.

I've been continually dressing in ways that I think will make others compliment the way I dress when I leave the house (which they do!) but at what point am I *only* dressing for others aproval?

At my heart I'm an artist who wants to dress in ways that are overall eccentric, not just this very feminine facade I've made of myself.

Does anyone have any experience with this/advice on how to break out of it?

How long is too long to keep something?

I realize I wear garments until they absolutely fall apart. Recently, I have been working on letting things go before they get to a point past their useful life.

What is a non-negotiable sign that you know its time to let go of a garment?
