I recently fell in love with the threadpic designer and wanted to share her with all of you to highlight some women designers. This (and picrel) comes from Louise Clark's "Abstract Romanticism" collection. She is a UK-based designer who I sincerely hope gets the recognition she deserves! I think she's working for ASOS now, but in the future I hope she gets to make more collections. I love her feminine and modern silhouettes.

If you do wear it, i would get textured tights, boots, and a longer sleeved top. But, really, its not that great of a option for women of age. Preteen fashion on adults is usually cringe.

What everyday shoes do nonnas wear? I have heels for dressy occasions and sneakers for everyday but somedays I want something in between that's still comfortable to walk in. I find most heel-sandals pretty hard to walk long distances in, are there any that are pretty comfortable? Do I just find some fancy sandals?Picrel is an idea of outfits I wear in the summer

>>327248Nta but that skirt looks like a piece of clothing a middle schooler who can't dress herself would pick. If you're a literal woman, wearing that type of shit makes you look trashy and weird. Same as a 18+ yo dude wearing an anime shirt, it's cringy on a child but it's even worse on an adult.

>>326703I have the bottom bag too! Fossil Sydney Satchel, right? I LOVE mine in hunter green from a few years ago but I recently bought one in black and the quality is literally half or less of the green one. What gives? Is the black one maybe an outlet version or something? This is what prompted me to ask about the name of this type of bag- I was looking for a better alternative to the Sydney & "satchel" was conjuring a lot of structured school/work-type satchels (which are super cute but I love slouchy leather). I also really wish the black and the hunter green Sydney came with silver-toned hardware but alas… What color do you have it in nonna? Side note I love how far down the zipper goes on the sides, it's so easy to find stuff in the abyss because it opens SO wide.

Zillenial here, born in 1998. My clothes feel outdated, and I’m really loving the casual “zoomer style”, especially the more relaxed office looks. I feel lost. While I love the new fashion trends, I have no idea what staples to buy or how to style the new shit. I’m used to wearing dresses with tights, loafers and blazers, but I’m looking for sneakers, dresses, pants etc. that don’t feel outdated, and trying to figure out how to style crop tops correctly
Can someone help me? What staple Gen z pieces should I buy, and how should I style them?

Does anyone recognize exactly what Charlotte is wearing on her head in this pic? It looks too soft and stretchy to be a cotton bandana.

>>327883Checked out Only and the clothes look so nice, I can't believe I haven't heard of them before! The only thing I'm worried about is their reviews look quite mixed, especially in the UK (where I am) for returns and orders not arriving. Have you tried their pants or just shirts? I like picrel but I'm extra cautious buying pants online, especially considering the reviews.
>>327878COS looks really great! Their T-shirts are the exact fit and colours I'm looking for as well, if a bit pricey but they look good quality. Reviews on customer service look mixed but reviews on the clothes say they're good, plus there's a physical store not far from me! I'll go next time I get paid.
I've bought from Uniqlo before and still love what I have but I've heard that they've gone down in quality recently, when did you buy from them nona?
Thank you all for your recommendations! If I buy from any I'll check back in with a review.

>>327420Came back to say I returned this. For context, my most used bags are a Fossil leather bag, a canvas messenger bag, and a nylon Kate Spade bag. The quality of this purse was decent but it was too big for my small frame, and I noticed in one of the reviews, someone posted that the black top layer of the leather wore off after a year. What the fuck. So I went to Etsy where I can get a beautiful custom leather bag for under $180, I feel like I discovered a lifehack.

>>328723As in, cheaper leather pieces which will be cut and sewn to my specifications? That doesn't sound terrible tbh because the Etsy leather (bottom picrel) looks nicer than the Amazon leather (top picrel) and I will get a custom size (and engraving). However I am realizing right now that I actually have no idea how to tell if leather is shitty, unless it's obviously pleather or really thin. I purchased a leather planner cover made by a Chinese guy on Etsy that definitely isn't plastic-coated leather, it seems pretty nice and like it'll last. The handbag I'm looking at (similar to bottom picrel) looks like the same kind of leather. I'll be looking into it myself, but do you have any characteristics I should look out for in quality leather? Does the Etsy bag leather look crappy to you? Thanks in advance anyone reading this

Leather anons itt have been very helpful already but if someone can offer specific assistance it'd be appreciated, am looking to invest in a sturdy leather jacket but I don't like 80s cuts (too unisex and boxy) so vintage is off the table unfortunately. A lot of the modern ones are lined with polyester too which seems to cheapen them and would maybe be gross/sweaty? From reading online many people recommend Allsaints, anybody have other recs? I understand good jackets can run $2,000+ but I don't want a rag that's going to flake and fall apart in a year. Picrel is the kind of silhouette I'm going for.

>>329342late response but there's a lot of fashion from the 50s that isn't your stereotypical "pin-up reddit polyamory-core" with bold tacky patterns and hoop skirts. I tend to dress a bit more androgynously with pants that fit round the waist but are looser around the leg. Pair them with neutral blouses, sweater vests, coats, etc, I'd just stick to colours that suit you but in plain tones or less gaudy patterns.
Shoes wise you can opt for heels, flats or loafers.
If you dress a bit more feminine pencil skirts are a great option that you can pair with the same blouses. The key to looking most authentic to the decade is through choosing items of clothing that are the desired shape. If you look at shapes from that area you'll notice distinct ways the body is flattered and curved. Picrel is some examples I pulled off pinterest, both from the era and more modern looks that suit the decade.

>>330849sheer doesn't hide much. why risk showing the scars with over-the-knee sheers when you could get 60-80 denier tights and enjoy skirts worry-free? you can also get flesh-toned opaque tights and layer thigh highs of your choice over them (might get a little hot though).
a sheer with a pattern can work well and would be cooler in hot weather. I had picrel for a long time and something about the zig-zag hid all my body hair and any veins or scars but it was practically sheer. chevron pattern sheers are also nice.

>>330958Start slowly, perhaps start with just simple but dainty jewelry like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Also maybe grow your hair out because it's really difficult and rare to look feminine/pretty with short hair, especially since you have to wear glasses too.
You need to let your eyes adjust to your new feminine, cute style, so don't rush into it and replace your entire closet. Buy one or two things a month like a dress here, a pair of shoes there, a necklace there, etc. Also look on Pinterest for fashion/hair/accessory inspo and save your favourite pics. Tiktok has good inspo too but if you're looking more for the ultra feminine aesthetic without annoying voices and ads and lying, pinterest is your place.
Try going for soft, muted, pastel colours, and also colors like red, pink, and white. Clothes that accentuate your waist, boobs, and bum. Invest in a pushup bra too if you want to look more sexily feminine. Buy a pair of jeans and pair them with a skinny belt or a silver chain belt, any cute girly top you want, and white sneakers.
Aesthetics you can look into for good inspo would be cottagecore (a classic), old money woman, streetwear, coquette/dollette (just look past some of the weirdness bc they have some good looks), ballet core, bimbocore, soft girl, etc.
Try to avoid black sneakers because no woman has ever looked cute, dainty, or feminine in black sneakers. Avoid very baggy outfits until you have built a good closet because you might come across as even less stylish or kinda lazy. Avoid dressing in all black as well, unless it's specifically a very feminine silhouette.
I also look on Shein for ideas on what I'd actually buy and then find something similar at a local clothing store and buy it there.
Also! Get your clothes tailored! It's not expensive and it's a kind of life hack that the ultra rich do to make their clothes look like they were designed for them. It enhance your looks so much, I do it and it's so worth it.
This is just my own opinion and I hope this helps! I have gotten compliments/comments on my own femininity, cuteness, and fashion sense so I'm speaking from experience

>>330970using feminine 50x you sound like a troon. going straight into suggesting anon buy jewelry and start dressing super feminine and even suggesting colors is bizarre, you know nothing about her. cottagecore is not "classic" it's a current trend aesthetic. i like some aspects myself but classic, no.
>>330958figure out what silhouettes/clothing fits you like and even more importantly don't, as well as start looking for fashion inspo. see what you own already and what you gravitate towards, and what your needs are. clothing first and foremost is a tool. other people will suggest insta or image-based sites but i like youtube for fashion talk because you actually see people move while in the clothes they wear.
i personally found kibbe and color season analysis helpful in thinking about what i like, but if that's overwhelming to think about don't worry about them. i'm not a super fashionable person, i was just sick of buying clothes i regretted and disliked.
you want to build a closet of clothes you enjoy wearing, fit your needs, and look good together. i personally found the idea of everyone having different closet staples a very helpful idea: everyone suggests having a plain white t-shirt for layering, but then I realized I dislike layering so that wasn't helpful advice. start thinking about what staple tops and bottoms you would benefit from and could use as the basis for multiple outfits.
if you have short hair leaning into a more masculine or androgynous style might be nice. but you can do feminine looks with short hair too.

>i was sick of buying clothes i regretted and dislikedI relate to this a lot. I would buy clothes and I end up not wearing them because I simply didn't like it. It's weird. I can see that it's a nice piece of clothing, but I either lack the skills or interest in actually wearing it.
Ty
nonny, I appreciate the advice. I do want to appear more feminine and grow my hair. I kept cutting my hair short because I realized that I didn't like myself and I thought if I cut my hair short, maybe I'd feel better. But, I don't. To keep the impulse at bay, I was thinking to express myself with fashion. However, fashion is kind of complicated because everyone has their own style and I think it's mostly subjective but I think there's concepts that generally define a well put together outfit even if it's something I personally wouldn't wear. So I guess what I'm saying is that I don't have a style I particularly like yet

what material should bathing clothes be made of? I wanna get some bathing shorts(preferly something designed for women so I dont have to shop in the men's section) but the websites I'm looking at dont state whenever the shorts are suitable for being in water. They call them bathing shorts but for all I know they are meant to be worn over regular bikini bottoms and then be taken of when entering the water I know you can find cute bathing shorts for women on aliexpress and similar site's but I want to buy something that is located in my own country for shipping and other reasons I have also looked at stores specialised in sports clothes and they do have some I just want to expand my options and sports bathing shorts don't have cute prints

>>331472this is sort of similar to how i dress on work days I just use more colours and different shoes and bags. I think it's cute but I can see why other call it dated. But for me I consider it more casual than a fashion statement. its just a skirt + sweater most women already have it lying around so expecting women to never combine them is a bit much. I guess the silhouette would look less dated if it wasnt an a-line skirt
in my opinion a-line skirt looks best and I cant wait for a comeback. Im personally not fond of the y2k look and i think its weird I know many who never dressed like that who immediately went out and bought a new wardrobe as soon as Y2K became trendy. I do agree with the other anons though it needs more color and different shoes. Also I think it would look better if the skirt was a bit longer

I think all the discussion around that outfit is just the millenial/zoomer divide. If you're a millenial, you probably remember when that was trendy or still dress like that so of course you'll like it more than those of us who were too young to wear it back then.
>>331500Did I touch a nerve? I don't like the stuff you linked either. There's a lot of middle ground between y2k trendy shit and polyvore outfits though.

>>331472That specific black/brown/burgundy color scheme is really dated, literally even just going monochrome black would update it passably. As a geriatric zoomer, that burgundy color—or “marsala”— was literally everywhere for like 4 years, it started trending during the seafoam green and coral era and then peaked in 2014/15. It’s the millennial pink of the mid 2010s.
Trash the boots like everyone else is saying and get black chunky or dainty heeled balletcore style shoes. Match the bag to the black shoes. That’s just if we want to keep the core vibe of the outfit untouched. honestly skater skirts and cropped sweaters are both fine separately but together it does come across as if you’re wearing a millennial costume. Your best bet is probably to buy an uncropped sweater and drop the waist of the look by keeping it untucked or wear the cropped sweater with baggy high rise or midrise jeans. Other denim styles are on trend now as well but low rise bootcut for example would not work with a loose cropped sweater like this on 99.9% of people because it will visually fridge them

No. 331710
>>331472It was a very common and presentable look then, it might not be as common now, but it remains presentable as it used to be. I never liked the trends from back then so I obviously don't like it that much, but it's not exactly an eyesore, it's okay really.
If I saw a woman wear this in 2023 I would just assume she's not very fashionable/up to date on current trends. But not everyone needs to be a style sperg, it looks very clean and put together, there is no real bad assumption to make about someone dressed like this, she doesn't look lazy or obnoxious or anything.
Granted I look nasty most of the time due to my current job, so everyone else looks like a shining aristocrat in comparison kek. But even then, clothing store clerks often wear far more offensive outfits than that, I'd sooner get advice from a basic girl like this than from a piss haired themlet who dresses like a middle schooler at 29 like you often see on the street these days.

>>329342this is the obvious answer but there do exist stores that are specialied in selling authentic vintage clothes from the 50-70. Though they are usually a bit pricey because finding clothes from the 50 that is still in a good condition today is hard. If you live in a big city or close to one there might be a store like this. Try searching for something along the lines of "vintage clothes [city name]" on google. Etsy also has a market for vintage clothes so try looking there. Just remember to set the item type to vintage in the filters.
>I do like the fashion and media of that periodbeing familiar with the period is going to work in your favour if you want to by modern clothes meant to emulate the 50's since you will be able to see what actually looks authentic and what looks like poor imitations.

Nowadays I try to primarily buy my clothes second hand. It makes it harder to follow trends and "forces" me to only look after clothes that suits my tastes. It's also easier to avoid going on a shopping spree when you buy second hand because finding stuff you like (and in your own size) is more difficult so it's feels more rewarding when you find something you like

Agree it's stupid though and obviously trends are rooted in overconsumption. No need to get rid of them.

Just wear simple and modest stuff, nothing shiny, or neon, or with flowers or crazy patterns. Pick neutral colors (brown, beige, gray, white even but not too much white) or just black, simple and small accessories.
Preferably don’t wear tight clothes, you’re going to support someone who is grieving or you’re goin to grieve, not going to a catwalk or a bar, which means you should also avoid cutouts or low necklines.
Dress comfortable too because you may have to walk around a graveyard or stand still for a while, so avoid too high heels or sandals.

What the heck do I wear to a funeral? It always seemed simple but now that I'm in this situation I have no idea what to buy. A long dress seems so formal but a short dress seems inappropriate. I don't really want to do pants because then I have to buy pants and a shirt when I could just buy a dress. Idk idk idk pls help nonnas. To be fair, I was surprised at the last funeral I went to because a lot of the women were wearing denim with blouses and heels. Idk maybe a flowy skirt and a blouse would be nice, I already have some heels that could go with that. What would you do? My only guidelines are that I'm short, so I like to honor the rule of thirds, and that makes some lengths of skirts/dresses and certain types of shoes look really dumpy. I do prefer a defined waist. I tend to dress "edgy" but that's not a big concern for a funeral tbh. This is not someone I was close with so I don't really need anything super duper comfy or anything like that. And my peers and I are like, working class, so I don't need anything opulent or too dressy. Am west coast burger so if anyone has shop recommendations I'd appreciate it!

>>333217Think business/office wear but in black. Aim for covered knees and shoulders, which may mean incorporating tights, blazers, etc. Find something you could repurpose for a job interview or something similarly formal at a later date. You can't really go wrong with dressing "up" at a funeral but dressing down too much could be a bit of a faux pas even if you didn't know the person.
I would personally opt for a black shirt and trouser since it's easier to dress both pieces down for other more casual occasions.

Eh not so much dressing for hot weather or wearing something short or with cleavage - I’m talking about full blown stripper outfits, and the girls I’m referencing are walking around at night (in the cold) wearing these outfits too, picrel. Men should have self control, but where I live it’s extremely dangerous for everyone (not just women) and I still see young girls out on the street dressed this way. There’s a lot of rape and SA in my city. I don’t know why they choose to present themselves this way for seemingly no reason at all, while doing casual things like grocery shopping or walking to a 7/11. Sure every woman should have the freedom to wear whatever they want - but dress for the occasion, not just for attention from the crackheads outside of 7/11 or your local grocer jfc

I own picrel and it's off-shoulder, does it matter if my bra straps show? I have to wear a bra with it because I have Luna Slater boobs. They're black and embroidered so it's not an ugly 12 euro bra, my hair mostly falls over it too. Just trying to make sure I don't look retarded while thinking it's cute kek

>>334255I think it'll be fine with the bra straps showing. It sounds cute that the straps are embroidered too! Have you thought about using boob tape? Picrel. I've seen a lot of large-chested women swear by it. I've used it two times and it was very comfortable. The hardest part was removing the tape so be prepared to use oil in the shower to remove them. Slightly OT but I get really sore breasts during PMS and I taped my chest up so that the most painful parts of my breasts were supported and it felt SO GOOD. I have never once found relief nearly as effective as the boob tape for sore breasts.

>>334275I’m sad to see it’s the same in Asia now too. China and Korea are terrible for blink of an eye trends and fast fashion.
Back in the day, like late 90s to early 2010s, Japanese street fashion was much more influential imo, lot of Japanese designers and clothing stores, even the kinda mainstream ones, would only release very limited batches of certain clothes for a short time so less than 100 or 1000 people in the world would own a certain piece.
After Korea and kpop started becoming more globally relevant than Japan I noticed in Tokyo a lot of young women had started wearing really samey kpop type fashion that was very basic bitch, plain and clearly mass produced. It sucked seeing all the diversity and originality of clothing starting to go out of the window.
It wasn’t too long before the same thing started happening in the west as more and more westerners began buying fast fashion from Chinese online stores, and here we are. Sad.

>>334124it's weird because where I live comfy clothing was favoured for a long time and you rarely saw any girls dressing sexy but this summer I noticed a bunch of teens either wearing tiny crop tops or super low cut shirts where you can see their bra.
>>334141this is slightly off topic but the age 18-21 is so weird for girls. Society is obsessed with young nymophomaniacs so as soon as a girl hits this age range people get really weird around her.

>>334191it's beatiful, i love dresses like this and i wish this silhouette came back more. go for it nona. out of curiosity, is it 60s vintage?
>>334189>basically anything made after the 1970s70s had some interesting fashion which got drowned out by tacky garbage, 90s was cool too due to minimalism and 60s/70s revivals coming in many forms and making some cuts and garments actually nicer and more bearable than in original era (especially 70s stuff). But I still find that 60s was last truly great decade for fashion. 70s were start of fall down, synthetics appeared on wide scale and it became more mass market and built foundation for fast fashion.
>>334176I'm a zoomer who hates both zoomer and millennial fashion, but I find millennial fashion more bearable. Gen X was last generation to have good fashion and revive older decades with own spin on them. Millennial 80s/90s grunge revival was interesting more than zoomer shit though because it was more unique compared to zoom zooms just carbon copying few cherrypicked styles in most pornified manner.

Opinions on the Kibbe body type chart? Would this be good as a starting guideline to find clothes that fit you? (I dress like shit)
No. 334367
>>334364It's notoriously vague and you have to figure your type out by yourself but I personally like it a lot. It unironically helped me see through my body dysmorphia and realize why certain kinds of clothes look terrible on me and what is more flattering.
A lot of guides out there just have shitty trendy Amazon clothes as outfit suggestions but if you can look at the preferred cut and color it's a great starting point for thrifting.
No. 334375
>>334364I only looked into it superficially, at first I found it nice because it took into consideration more things than just hip-waist-bust, that affect how your body as a whole look in the end, e.g. head size and shoulders size making you look shorter or taller. But then when it started talking about how "this type wears this, that type was that", it was too restrictive for me and I lost interest. And the pure natural, which was my type, got removed, but I can't be arsed to figure out what I am now, I really feel like I fit the pure natural way more than the other two. And relating to my first point, in regards to height, I don't get why at first have a more holistic approach to body proportions, then say "but only people this tall is this type", it just feels like its defeating the whole point, because the way your proportions work might make you look more or less elongated regardless of how tall you actually are. I hope I made sense, I feel like I'm rambling.

I've been wanting this duster from The Hippie Shake as a light summer overcoat (white wool seems smart) but it's sold out in my size (14-16). I'm on the fence about getting the 10-12 though, I don't know if my shoulders (16") would fit what it says (15.2"). I have a thick coat of theirs I was gifted that is definitely a small that fits fine, but I'm not sure if it's a good gamble. I've done alterations before but not on dusters.
Should I go for it? If not, where can I find other cream/white dusters?

Is jewelry a topic for discussion here too? Picked up these Konstantino pieces for relatively cheap recently.
No. 335450
>>335446Saying cheap is relative since they were still hundreds, but I found these being sold on Ebay by some kind of liquidation/store sample seller. I waited for them to make me an offer on the listings, then counter-offered for half of what they initially offered and they accepted, so there's clearly insane markups. The local jewelry boutique that sells this brand in my area sells similar stuff for double what I paid. And I get it, they have to pay their staff and rent, but it's still a little pricey for me unless there's something I really love.
I don't mind secondhand jewelry. I just clean the pieces after I get them. Better to save up for a beautiful secondhand piece than wasting money on cheap garbage that will just end up in a landfill.

For reference I am 5'0" 105lbs. I found a pair of Frye Pippa Short Boots at the flea market this weekend. The fit
feels fine, but they are technically a half-size too large and I feel like they
look proportionally large on me. I picked out the Pippas because they give me the same vibe as the Engineer Boot, but a little less overwhelming on my smaller frame. (Picrel is a little bit misleading because of the scale of the photos. The Pippas are smaller all around. I included the measurements to hopefully help with that.)
I'm generally going for a Hellbilly/Rob Zombie/Goth Cowgirl look (cringing at having to describe my style this way but it's true), but pretty simplified as I don't want to do too much- I always feel like the center of attention if I dress up too much and I feel like an asshole. I digress. The boots are going to help me achieve this look. The main features being the hardware and the loose/large fit of the shaft in comparison to my leg.
I can't decide if I should get rid of the Pippas and go for the Engineer Boot, since that's really what I want. What if the Engineer Boots are an awkward height though, and it turns out I should have stuck with the Pippas? And if I do stick with the Pippas, I'd want to get them in my correct size, so I'd have to buy another pair and sell the old ones. I like that the Engineer Boot has more hardware than the Pippa, though. I love hardware. The issue is that I'm buying this stuff secondhand, so I may not be able to make returns based on size/fit satisfaction.
Here's a post I made in the Kibbe thread that shows me wearing a boot that I love with an 8" tall shaft and a 12.5" shaft circumference:
>>>/g/315293. What should I do?
Also I think I want them in brown because they'll look better on my stubby legs when I'm not wearing long pants, but the Pippas lose the edgy, moto/goth cowgirl effect in the brown color imo. I also realized halfway through this journey that I'd like heavy treads on the sole of the shoe, as it adds to the edgy element. I've been considering getting the Pippas resoled with heavy treads, since Frye boots are able to be resoled. (Is that possible?). I feel like they look like Chelsea boots from the front because of the thin look of the sole, as opposed to big rubber treads. I hate Chelsea boots.
I really wrote this out to organize my thoughts more than anything but I'd love some input. This is such a clusterfuck and I'm in the "manic" stage of my cycle so it's all I can think about kek

>>338626Can’t speak for others here but I don’t have anything against fat women or fat women wanting to dress fashionably. The fat positivity movement online has become absurd but that’s online bullshit not real life (usually). Im a fan of fitted waist clothing (specifically like a flowy blouse paired with fitted waist bottoms, or fit and flare dresses — or anything that keeps your general figure but still lets the clothes have their own shape on you if that makes sense) on larger figures and that was comfortable for me but it’s hard to give advice without knowing what kind of styles you like or what your general silhouette is.
It sucks its hard to find real clothes in large sizes and not just styles for thin people scaled up in stretchy bullshit fabric that looks awful, but it’s out there. Accessorizing goes a long way, like a nice scarf or some jewelry and good shoes

you can become mindful of colors that make your body's coloring appear richer without trying to wade through psuedoscientific bullshit.
I'm very pale with pretty balanced untertones and I have white blonde hair. colors like orange, bright yellow, and many really saturated colors in general make my skin look greyer. cold colors like forest green, cadmium blue make my skin look brighter, so I wear those.

Does anyone have any travel capsule tips for a chronic over packer?
I'm hopefully heading to Japan & Korea in Oct-Nov for 4-5 weeks total and will access laundry services. Everything I've watched online seems to still really over packed and I'm going to try "living" out of the wardrobe I make during Australia's winter month.
Current baggage is checked-in 25kg & carry-on 7kg
No. 339333
>>339317My recommendation isn't specifically about clothes, but weigh literally everything. It helps you prioritize and cut down on stuff you don't need. I use a kitchen scale for small items and lighterpack.com to keep track of it all. Check out /r/onebag and /r/heronebag, they're good resources for light packing.
I'm an Aussie going to Japan in Nov too! Just for a week. It'll be my first trip taking carry-on only, my last trip was 2 weeks and only 9kg in a suitcase so I should manage 7kg.
No. 339365
>>339317Wear your heaviest items on your person for the plane ride. Your boots, your biggest coat, your thickest pants. Mentally include these items in your wardrobe but when you are packing set them aside because you know you will be wearing them. You can put them in a tote bag for going through security and put them on before you board the plane if that's too much stuff to wear in Australia in Nov.
Now you know you will be warm enough without even worrying about luggage weight limits. Everything else you pack can be thinner smaller layers. Remember you can buy things while you are there! Don't stress about forgetting something.
Not including the outfit I wear on the plane, I pack
one extra pair of shoes (very important, something small that you know won't hurt your feet, bad shoes can ruin a trip), 2 pants, 4 tops, one lightweight dress, one pair of tights, and 4 bras + 4 pairs of underwear and socks. For a two week trip, this means I do a small load of laundry 3 times (4, 8, and 12 days after I arrive.) I do wear the pants a couple days each, I don't think that's gross especially in cold weather when I'm not even sweating but your mileage may vary. All this fits in one carry-on size backpack. I have never checked a back for a two week trip.
My essential toiletries fit in a ziplock back not including the hair brush.
I don't know if you're doing a lot of shopping but if you are, you can purchase luggage or a backpack while you are there and fill it with all the cool stuff you get on vacation, then check that bag on the way home.

>>339220In retail jobs I used to dress very plainly for the first 3 months or so, then start adding things back in until I was fully decked out in my usual garb. Worked for me because by that time I had shown them what a workaholic I was and no one ever seriously complained about my clothes. I also never wore a uniform that wasn't provided for me by the business. I'm not buying myself a uniform, if they want a uniform to be worn they have to buy it.
All black casual stylish with a pop of color is weird, they can't be serious. What store is it?

>>33931732kg of luggage. That's so freaking much, you could probably cut that down by half and not miss anything. For context I did three weeks in japan with a backpack weighing 9kg (this was in summer trough).
Decide beforehand how often your going to do laundary, and bring that number of tops and undies. Other pieces of clothing you won't need more than one or two of.
It's easy to get wrapped up in a million scenarios where you might need something,
but your not going into the desert and when you realize you need something you can just buy it there.
With that in mind you should leave some space in your luggage to fit the stuff you forgot and the souveniers you want to bring back.

>>339333>>339365>>339398Thank you so much for the input! I think at this stage the biggest hurdle is figuring out shoes as we're planning on doing some day hikes (nothing extreme; grade 3 under 10km MAX) and on previous holidays I've rolled ankles attempting to do them in sneakers.
I've got two pairs of lug-sole boot's which I've hiked in multiple times which don't read as hiking boots when worn casually and two outers which both pack down small.
I guess I'm just over-thinking this as the last time I travelled with friends and it didn't go well (they all planned outfits to go out to a really fancy dinner and clubbing afterwards and I just brought hiking/back packing clothes) I guess I just want to look a bit more polished this time around (and I'm going with different people so again I'm over thinking it.)

>>339220I'd try to find something other than a puffer vest to keep you warm, but idk what environment you're in where that is necessary. I know they are popular but I've never worn one and never think they look good.* I'd be sad all day in a puffer, no hate to people who like them. What about other knits instead? A warm blazer or cape?
For "pops of color" (is this 2010?) I would personally concentrate more on makeup (if you are good at it and it's allowed), hair accessories or hairbands (I have a medium-length pixie and still wear hairbands sometimes), and jewelry. Shoes are expensive to buy just for color so idk what you already have at home. Personally I tend not to buy colored shoes (aside from dark red) but perhaps you have a kaleidoscopic shoe wardrobe. It used to be popular for girls in my country to wear scarves but I am really picky about whether this looks good or not, it can look dated (if you care about that%).
*For reference, I like whimsical and elegant clothes when possible, and I wear a lot of black & rich brown, not together usually (kek) but as a base for other things & bc brown is a great color for me.
%I don't care that much about things being dated, personally; I reject some silhouettes that I tried purely bc they were trendy, but if I like something, why not wear it? I just hated a lot of the "shlubby scarf over every shirt" and giant uggo necklace looks from the early '10s. Obviously I'm preaching to the choir bc it sounds like you have a defined style and just need help adapting it for work. Remember you can wear whatever you want when you're not working.

The workplace has emphasized we are free to be ourselves and while i may be anxious about being
too myself, I don't want to separate myself entirely 3-5 days a week
>>339384 I think this is my plan!! slowly building up my regular wardrobe but in black and incorporating more layers. it's a bougie asf specialty teashop. my tinfoil is they're too cheap to do us uniforms but i also can't think of many retail stores near me that aren't Target that actually have uniforms
>>339448 I keep getting mistaken for a 22 year old (I'm 26) when I wear the puffer jacket which is fair because my 21-23 year old workmates wear them. I'm on the hunt for black knits it's just been hard to find something i really like, but that's me being fussy. I've been putting a 'pop' of colour in my eyeshadow but i think you're on the money with hair accessories too!I think i really need to get a pair of shoes that aren't the basic bitch platform sneakers (that my mum got me specifically for work, bless her for spotting a sale and thinking of me but they're not helping) because I can't pair them with dresses or tight pants cus I HATE the high top.

>>339666Aerie, but the quality has declined somewhat from years ago. I guess I am still happy with some of the stuff I picked out, just the 100% cotton ones seemed to fade much faster than other cotton pairs I bought in the past.
I buy mostly boybriefs and bikinis. All their seamless and "real me" stuff looks invisible under clothes and I find it comfortable. I like that it doesn't lose elasticity over time and stays in place when I'm working out. I like this cute little star pattern (picrel) on an otherwise normal and tasteful pair of underwear. I have that in a few solid colors. Their lace stuff is all not scratchy and has held up pretty well. It's best to wait for a sale, they have regular deals on underwear.
Yes they also sell a few dumb items, but the rest of it I'm happy with and will continue to stock up when in the US bc I don't like my options in this country very much at all.

Nonnies, I am so hung up on the idea of buying a replica. I absolutely love the Hermes Lindy and have for years, but don’t have the funds for an authentic one, even a used one. Even if I did have the funds, I’m not sure if I’d be comfortable spending that amount on a bag. It’s so tempting knowing there are great quality replicas in at very reasonable prices, but I’m just so stuck on the idea that somehow I won’t look right with the bag even though I just really love it’s design. I feel even stupider for feeling like this because I can say with confidence in the area I live most people wouldn’t even notice this bag as a designer bag or luxury bag, dupe or not.

>>339879don't buy dupe/knockoffs, that's the trashiest shit you can do on earth
even pathetic if you MUST get it a replica at least has the effort and quality a dupe does not. A better thing to do, specially when you are not sure about doing a big investment on a bag, is to find a bag that emulates the colour, size and if possible shape from a brand that isn't as expensive. That way you are not making a huge commitment and you're still getting a nice bag.

>>342736The fact that everything is on sale makes me think it's definitely a scam. Notice all the photoshopped models posing like social media influencers… defo a scam, they probably just scraped those images off weibo. Reverse-image-search some of those corsets and you will find them listed under various names on similar shitty websites (picrel). If not a straight up scam it's at least some mass-produced bullshit and it's going to be a shitty corset.
And finally I'm sorry but a good corset costs more than fifty bucks and requires custom measurements, the fact that they're supposedly a company specializing in corsets for over 10 years but they don't even offer custom means it's bullshit.

i'm 100% cool toned, but silver just looks kind of meh to me. maybe it's my preferences, but a cool-toned shirt (like a deep pink) and gold jewelry (so warm + cool) looks so good. maybe it's the warm gold contrasting with cool skin.

So I bought a highwaisted skirt online (not picrel) and when it came in I noticed it has straps on either side of the waist, and I'm honestly not sure what you're supposed to do with them? They're not long enough to go back around and then tie it in the front, so do I just tie them in the back or something?

Most weebs who try asian fashion look off because they're not fashionable enough to make enough changes that it fits them.

For example most asian fashion blogs(who are women with average incomes that don't buy luxury brands too often) I see use zara and hm for their outfits but they style it much differently than the western blogs I follow, although the western bloggers also dress from zara and hm. It's fine to use whatever brand long as you dont try to mimic a style or an aesthetic.

Idk where to post this because it’s kind boring basic clothes, but I bought a ton of stuff from thredup this year. Most of the time I dress pretty badly - usually cheap $5 Uniqlo men’s v neck tees in the smallest size and a pair of shorts, and I wanted to try improving my wardrobe a bit. I know some people really hate thredup because of the shipping and hit or miss of using it. With a credit they gave me for sending a cleanout box I was able to average around $10 a piece out of everything I bought, which seemed okay. So far out of what I received I only have two duds - the $6 Madewell jeans that turned out to be super skinny style and the $13 Madewell blouse.

>>348287>kekkk please moids are always asking to put wallets and shit in our purses.Maybe some do, but not the ones with their "muhsculinity" hurt by even the smallest things.
>I'll just use my purse or belt bagWell if it's fine for you, go ahead, I can't stand purses at all when backpacks and messenger bags exist. Belt bags are good too though.
>so in summer you're just sol ig?I didn't think of that, please excuse my northfagging kek.

>>348308I have never seen womens pockets that are big. Mens pockets are always twice as big. Womens Levis and I cant get half my hand in, mens levis and I can put my hand down mid thigh.
And if you have a long pelvis, womens pants dont fit, they go way into your crotch and give painful levels of cameltoe. I'll sacrifice not having perfect hip waist ratio over rugburn on my cunt. Plus, I never find pants in the women section that fits over wide thighs and hips, while also being slim in the waist anyways.

>>348311Then stop buying levis, kek, their pants are known to be made of harder material because of the high cotton percentage. You guys are really mindless.
You're telling me that men's pants which are cut for narrow thighs, no waist and a literal bulge fit your wide thighs and thin waist better? If man's pants fit you better, you're just buying too small sizes in women's pants, go up a size or two in women's department and you'll see that you can find clothes that fit then.
It's always someone saying they're too thin waisted, big hipped or boobed for women's clothes and that men's clothes fit better but like, none of the men's cuts are cut for curvy bodies you guys claim to have so it just makes no sense. The female fashion advice subreddit is like this as well, I'll never get it.

>>348308NTA but I find unless you're buying expensive clothing (and even then) women's clothing is made from worse quality fabrics that are either seethrough to force you into buying layers or fall apart after a year at most of wear. Flannels and jeans are especially bad, there's a noticeable difference in men's and women's flannels. Men's clothes are cut wrong but if I had to get my clothes tailored anyways I might be tempted to buy men's clothes and get them tailored to my shape because the materials on them are more sturdy and durable.
>>348325I don't buy men's pants because of the issues you've described but I stay away from anything high-waisted because the waist-hip ratio on women's clothes is just wrong for me 99% of the time. Some people just have a rough time with women's clothing, it happens.

>>348351nta but handbags have always been of utilitarian nature and a status symbol, you absolute retard.
>making out of the house fasterdelusional, with your moid pants you have to take all your items out when you take them off to place it in the laundry hamper
unless, in clear moid fashion, you don't wash them after wearing them all day with a bag you can leave all your items inside, intact and the next next you just grab it and go.

>>348356Get a nice backpack instead and you can fit your work documents, pens, water bottle, and laptop in there along with your tissues, sani, and lip balm.

>>348385Backpacks are insanely inconvenient imo, unless you're going to be walking non stop or sitting down with your stuff all day. Having to pull it off your shoulder and around your body just to grab something is a pain in the ass. I have a really nice backpack that converts to a shoulder bag and every time I use it as a backpack I regret it and end up using it the other way.
To me the most comfy and convenient bag is a lightweight, roomy, sling/fanny pack like pic rel. Though if I need to carry more stuff I obviously need a bigger bag, you have to pick bags based on the circumstances. None are perfect for everything.

>>348325I wrote that levis are shit quality and you respond with >"omg higher cotton percentage so theyre sturdier ur dumb". No, theyre shitty and thin. My point is that higher "quality" brands are shit, not that I have to buy levis you retard. Plus you didnt even mention the og point which is that mens clothes have bigger pockets and womens dont, you must be delusional to think otherwise or never seen a article of mens clothing in your life.
And mens jeans having go accommodate a dick does made them longer in the crotch, and when you have a long distance from hips to crotch as a woman, they fit without riding up into your cunt. Unless I go up sizes to where the pants would fall off in womens, theyre too short and give me painful cameltoe. Which you also just didnt read and attacked me for something I also explained. Sorry having hips and a small waist sent you into seethe and coping and that all you got from that.

>>348734Stop cursing me out, kek. Levis doesnt fit right because it has too much cotton, even if its thin, the fabric will be hard as elastic materials aren't included in the mixture.
Being an nlog and buying mens clothes instead of learning your real size and learning about better brands is just stupid. You literally admit you can't fit into women's pants but instead of sizing up, you stick to men's pants just because you can buy a set of clothing with xs sizing when you're probably a large in womens. Just size up, it's not that serious.
Also I'm not mad, you're the one whos swearing and typing angrily, kek. Imagine being so broke you think levis is high quality.
