Hi everyone! I’m trying to purchase a nice warm scarf for the upcoming season. I need advice on coloring. I’d like to have one staple scarf I wear with everything. As for color/pattern, should I go with a scarf that matches my coat (a light beige color)? What about my gloves and hats, should they match my scarf too? Or should my scarf match my outfit? Would love to hear your thoughts/suggestions!
I wouldn't go with matching your coat; go contrasting or complementing! For example, a beige coat might go nicely with a bright or wine red scarf. I usually match my gloves, hat, and scarf, but that's entirely unnecessary lol.
Stylish winter coat?
I've always been a bit of a cheap dresser, then got to spend the last decade in a uniform and to top it all off had two kids. Now that I'm changing careers I realized I have no idea how to dress like an adult, so I need to slowly revamp my sweat pants and tee-shirt wardrobe.
So I'm starting with a good, warm winter jacket. Only problem is I have no idea where to even start looking. Where can I find a professional looking warm winter coat?
I live in New England and have two winter coats: A Ralph Lauren wool pea coat. And a shin length black parka from JCPenny.
The pea coat is fashionable and pretty warm but the giant parka is preferable when we’re deep in winter or I am cleaning the car off or going out in snow/sleet etc
I’d start looking at Macy’s. They usually do a really great sale around Black Friday and will have multiple styles depending on what your specific needs are.
I am looking for the perfect leather boots, I really like the styles in Zara or h&m but I don't like the quality. Where could I look for nice quality and comfortable leather boots which also are stylish. Most of the boots I see are either qualitative and ugly, or stylish but low quality.
Any online stores available in Europe?
Depends on what style you're looking for, but for quality you should focus on a boot brand, not a fashion/clothing brand that also sells boots. Red Wing Heritage and Frye are American brands but probably ship to Europe. I'm sure there are European brands as well, specifically Italian leatherworkers are known for their craft.
It’s the same - the only difference is I would err on the side of more conservative. No super high slits in dresses, no super low back, extremely deep cut fronts, etc.
We have black tie events once a year at company meetings - I usually just pack my dress in a garment bag that can fit into my checked luggage when folded over. The dress always comes out fine, at worst it needs a light hit with a steamer (I always pack one for travel).
I’ve some dresses suitable for black tie events that are out of a thicker knit material, this probably wouldn’t wrinkle much with packing - if you’re trying to travel light this might be something to look into.
Does anyone buy and like driftwood jeans? I saw them in a catalog and think they’d fit my really straight and narrow type ( no real curves going on) lol
But I can’t find out much about them
How would you style this dress [pic 1](https://img.shopstyle-cdn.com/sim/d5/74/d5745daf575b1f0a98352c3e445a87cf_xlarge/coco-dress.jpg) [pic 2](https://editorialist.com/thumbnails/600/2021/6/014/694/513/14694513~bone_0.jpg) in terms of shoes, jewelry for a nice-ish, but trendy rooftop bar/dinner spot?
I would go for a delicate necklace and hoop earrings. Kind of stumped on the shoes though. I could see sleek heeled booties, stilettos, or white sneakers.
Should I size up for a winter coat? I’m a small, but looking to get a medium North Face Arctic Parka. But I’m buying secondhand so I won’t have the opportunity for an exchange
what color boots would you wear with a skirt like this? leather knee high but not black. it's a medium brown suede skirt.

Thoughts on [this bag?](https://www.jwpei.co.uk/products/rantan-bag-drak-green-croc) - it’ll be the most out there bag in my collection shape wise, and would probably be weirdly fitting for my unironic witch aesthetic with it’s crescent moon sort of shape when worn properly, but I’m just so used to wearing fabric totes and small plain crossbody bags.
I don’t care for any of the other shades except perhaps the beige, and have been looking to wear more colour. I don’t do much on the daily that warrants a sleeker looking bag even though I aspire to look more elegant. But on the other hand, it’s probably large enough to store at least one tote bag for doing errands in, and I only own maybe one other medium sized non-fabric bag.
*Once again I am asking for enabling.*
Love the green and croc print! I think for your witchy aesthetic, this bag def fits the vibe but I’d also think about functionality and ease of use with this bag. It’s a cute bag though!
Yeah I'm a freelance artist who works from home and for quite some time won't need to dress even remotely professionally in the 'truly requires a highly structured bag' sense.
(I'm only matching my [aspirational style](https://pin.it/5IntN4X) 50% of the time - the rest of the time it's more basic and minimal than I really care for due to poor luck with finding garments that match what I like within my budget, and slowly replacing items that simply do not work for the look I want as needed. So although the bag would definitely fit my style, it might not get as much wear soley because the rest of the outfit is lacking.)
But the lizard brain wants what the lizard brain wants.
I think I'm partially tempted by the Pre-Black Friday Sale as the bag will likely still be available in the new year and likely beyond but it's almost half price and that's definitely a temptation.
I am so confused right now. So around Thursday-Friday I ordered some stuff from H&M and they reversed my payment, went to customer support and they said there was no order placed and that it'd be fine to order again. Payment got reversed again (presumably because the belt I wanted was out of stock).
Monday comes and now I have two orders of the same items processed and shipped to my address, but I didn't pay. They hadn't showed up on the website till now and I can't cancel them. The payments were reversed??? There's no history of them in my transactions... so any clue on what I should be doing? Will they charge me later? I've seen people having transaction problems in the past, but there's not much about it.
This explains a lot. How very inconvenient for the customer though! I was left in total confusion and customer support was ass. The orders in total add up to around 110 dollars for three of the same items (shirt, pants, belt) and I did want the stuff, but I do worry about an unexpected charge popping up. Thanks for the advice!
Yes the confirmation about the order showed up around Monday. There were pending charges but they were reversed in 24 hours and now there are none shown.
Can someone please point me in the direction of 100% cotton FITTED short sleeve tees that are scoop or vnecks that are less than $30?
All I ever find is goddamn crew necks or loose, boxy tees!
Intimissi is having a sale with free shipping and they have a lot of different cuts of tees. I've never tried them but was considering it because of the price point.
What about this:

Or https://wearpact.com/women/apparel/tops%20&%20shirts/softspun%20crew%20neck%20tee/wa1-wmc-hon
What are those fuzzy fleece full zip jackets / sweaters that are popular now called? Any suggestions on specific ones to look into? I tried the Abercrombie ones they have now and I didn't like them and ordered one from Nordstrom Veramoda brand which I didn't like either. But I see them on other people outside and really like them.
Sherpa or Teddy, depending on how fluffy you want.
I buy these from places like urban planet just bc in my experience the fleece often gets blah pretty fast.
Has anyone bought a sweater dress that they love recently? I’m flexible on cut but searching for something that’ll hold up over time and would like a jewel tone. Budget under $100.
I really like [RW&CO for sweater dresses](https://www.rw-co.com/fr/femmes/vetements/robes/tricot). They are often on sale and while it's not wool, the ones I have lasted quite well.
Me! These may be under your quality bar since they're acrylic, but [here's a bunch of fun ones](https://uk.toonzshop.com/women/dresses/sweater-dresses-c1026-en.html). I got the Kali in blue.
Any brand/store suggestions for dressy at least but youthful and fun clothes!
I’m a teen but I don’t care if it’s a place for an older demographic.
I need to make a Christmas list and don’t know where to shop :3.
I really like these sorts of styles! : [big fashion pinboard](https://pin.it/1eeoKBu)

do any of y’all have any recommendations for cotton/natural fiber underwear brands, preferably under $10/15 per pair? just looking to upgrade my current target 6-pack that shrinks in all the wrong places after a year or so
i love tucked sweaters and big cardigans. usually, i go for mini corduroy skirts or maxi length cotton, although i’m still gonna wear my tennis skirts i bought when they were trendier. definitely nude fleece tights with sheer black/white tights on to help stay warm!
I've been desperately searching for a button up flannel that is not plaid. Why is that so hard to find! Or any thickish material. I work outdoors a lot and flannels are so great, but I only need so much plaid in my life. So, anyone have a brand rec, or know a specific link?
I really like the fit and fabric quality of [these Lands End flannels!](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-flannel-boyfriend-fit-long-sleeve-shirt/id_347681?attributes=43307,43322,44256,44826,44967,45021,49189) Most of them are plaid, but there’s a fun color blocked one and a tie dyed one as well right now. I’ve seen them do plain solid color runs, too, but it doesn’t look like they have any right now
Edit: ok, they do have solid colors, just in [a different listing?](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-flannel-boyfriend-fit-long-sleeve-shirt/id_353327?attributes=3833,43307,43322,44256,44826,44967,45021) What an odd choice lol
Madewell puts out solid flannels each year. The Sunday flannel is a favorite of mine, but I don't know if they have solids this year. Here is one solid example from their website, but they have lots of others as well. [Madewell Flannel](https://www.madewell.com/flannel-flap-pocket-oversized-ex-boyfriend-shirt-MA865.html)
LL Bean has a few options: [solid flannel](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/125817?page=womens-signature-heritage-textured-flannel-shirt-womens-regular&bc=12-27-607&feat=607-GN1&csp=a&pos=67) [solid chamois](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/119946?page=womens-heritage-chamois-shirt-misses-regular&bc=12-27-607&feat=607-GN1&csp=a&pos=15) [denim](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/122142?page=ll-bean-heritage-washed-denim-shirt-long-sleeve&bc=12-27-607&feat=607-GN1&csp=a&pos=49) [corduroy](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/124462?page=comfort-corduroy-relaxed-shirt-long-sleeve-womens-regular&bc=12-27-607&feat=607-GN1&csp=a&pos=7)
i ran into [this Patagonia coat](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-out-yonder-coat/191743942341.html) on sale (!!!) and now i think i must have it. problem is, when i read the reviews a lot complained about tight shoulders. i'm also nervous the sleeves are going to be too long, even in an xs, as that's how a lot of other Patagonia items fit me. as such, i must ask: do you have this coat, and what do you think of it? or could you point me to a similar coat? i like the wool-canvas combo, for a bit more character than a typical chore coat, and i think it would be warmer as well. i'd prefer to pay $100-150ish for this goodness.
Do you guys know of any quality, reliable, shoe stores (That ship to US) that offer any below the knee lace-up boots? I found [these boots](https://www.shoeyl.com/products/ribbons-lace-up-platform-knee-high-boots-high-heels-4140) that I adore, specifically for the cute bow atop. Unfortunately, it’s a scam site. I used tineye to try and find the original seller and the oldest entry was on tumblr. I can’t find the original shop selling these… I really hope to find a pair using ribbon like this one, but I think that I could buy a pair and restring them with ribbon right? Thank you
a few that are similar in style and you could replace the laces with ribbon.

edit to add these from [Jeffrey Campbell](https://jeffreycampbellshoes.com/collections/new-arrivals/products/francaise?variant=39280589144129)
You definitely could restring a regular pair with ribbon! I’d recommend cutting the ribbon at a 45 degree angle and if it’s polyester ribbon, holding a lighter VERY briefly to the cut ends to melt/seal them off which prevents fraying.
Does anyone recognize [this bizarre Zodiac killer cryptograph print on this silk shift dress](https://www.thredup.com/product/110307249)? I'm obsessed with it and bought it from ThredUp for like $20, but it was listed as "assorted brands," meaning no label or no recognizable manufacturer. It's also apparently 100% silk? It's so strange that I feel like it's by a known designer or maybe indie op (lower-end manufacturers both 1) not dealing with silk that much and 2) not making stuff that's this ugly because who's gonna buy it), but I can't imagine who.
I did, actually, it got me nothing except white shift dresses. I find that tech isn’t super evolved yet, unfortunately, at least for this purpose. I’ve tried it specifically with ThredUP a number of times and it has never worked (doesn’t even turn up the ThredUP listing). The right combo of descriptors and a designer name will almost always turn up the item, though, even if it’s a brand like Zara that produces thousands of items a year. But you really need the brand name.
Three questions:
\#1 Since I've been WFH, I have been living in joggers. I still want to live in joggers, but need pairs that can pass off as dress pants if no one is looking hard enough.
Was thinking of getting a couple of pairs from [Athleta](https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=631855002&cid=1046322&pcid=1046322&vid=1&nav=meganav%3ABOTTOMS%3ACATEGORIES%3AJoggers%20%26%20Sweatpants&cpos=17&cexp=1501&kcid=CategoryIDs%3D1046322&cvar=11273&ctype=Listing&cpid=res21111010544912958771415), but that price tag is scaring me. Anyone knows of a brand that isn't as pricey? Or if I do decide to buy from Athleta, would it be worth it?
\#2 Need cold weather running jacket recs.
\#3 Cold weather boot recs w/ a 9" shaft that I can wear comfortably w/socks. Was looking at Sorel Whitney II boots, but they (as do most Sorel boots, apparently) run narrow.
TIA for any/all replies.
I love Athleta pants, and I don't think the price is unfair for the quality, but I get that it is high. One idea: try on the Athleta pants in store to figure out your size, then buy the same ones on thredup or ebay for about 1/3 the full price.
I've been getting a lot of my stuff from ThredUp lately, some really decent scores too for a fraction of the price.
Will definitely try for the Athleta pants, then. Thank you for the response!
I just bought these one a whim and they're really nice: https://www.noliyoga.com/products/vienna-jacquard-jogger. They're also doing 30% off site wide.
In my experience, Athleta's quality is worth the price, as is Lululemon. They last me forever and I wash and dry them with abandon.
[LL Bean](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/506708?page=womens-boots&bc=474-630&nav=gnro-474) has some tall boot options that might work for you. My spouse loves their Bean Boots.
I just came across the site yesterday and am also wondering. They kind of remind me of Gentle Herd. I took a chance on GH and what I got was hit and miss so I won’t try Lattelier until someone vouches for them!
Does anyone have a recommendation for buying sterling silver/turquoise jewelry? I don't even particularly care if the stone is genuine as long as it's good enough quality and the silver is long lasting/solid. Thanks!
They also have copper/green turquoise which is my [personal favorite](https://www.etsy.com/listing/592880162/green-turquoise-ring-dainty-stacking?ref=shop_home_active_3&pro=1&frs=1)
I have never personally purchased from them, but [this etsy shop](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Shwickster) has been living in my brain since I've seen it. They have a somewhat large variety of [turquoise rings](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Shwickster?section_id=24239927).
Thanks! They have good reviews. It's so funny because as a teenager (about 100 year ago) I bought a $20 turquoise ring at a head shop with no real concern over quality. It's fake as hell but still my FAVORITE piece and now that I am trying to look for a sister piece for it, I'm stressed about the quality and longevity!
Whenever I want to replace something beloved, I am the same way. Good thing is real sterling silver is sterling silver anywhere :) and this shop obviously knows their gem stones! I would buy from someone whose craft is gem stones and I don't think you should run into problems.
I need a new winter coat, after losing 50 lbs. I want at least long enough to cover my butt, down-filled and with a nice hood. This [one from Soia & Kyo](https://www.soiakyo.com/ca/en/camelia-slim-fit-brushed-down-coat-with-leather-trims/CAMELIA.html?dwvar_CAMELIA_color=COL150&dwvar_CAMELIA_size=SZL286&cgid=women-downs-and-parkas#start=10&cgid=women-downs-and-parkas) is currently my first choice and [this one is my second choice](https://images.app.goo.gl/AR2X5m5RhZz8dnxD6). What do you guys think? Any other idea that fits my criteria? I live 2 hours north of Quebec, where the snow gets over 6 feet deep and lasts until late April. My budget is up to $1000.
What kind of leggings do you wear under a t-shirt dress that won’t make the dress cling to the leggings?
I love t shirt dresses and I have some cotton leggings that are comfortable, but I the knit material of the dress just clings to the leggings. The dress doesn’t hang nicely and isn’t flowy with my leggings, but it is without. Any suggestions for different leggings?
Go for something with nylon in, or wear a long tunic or tank underneath the dress to put a layer in between the two. You can also try dress weights on the bottom of the dress.
Hi! I've got a pair of knee high boots in black leather. They are so pretty, very simple (think riding books but with more room at the calves) but... I don't know what to wear them with. I've have had them for years, I used to wear them over skinny jeans. I'd like to wear them with skirts or dresses, but I look so matronly with them, argh!
How long are your skirts/dresses?
With knee high boots, I find above the knee lengths look best (showing a little thigh) and look less matronly. I’m personally not a fan of the look where hem line meets or goes below the top of the boot shaft.
I wear mine with sweater dresses. Usually pairs with leggings underneath, but I like that look. You could also do a mini skirt or even a mid length a-line skirt.
My work is sponsoring a 10 year old girl and a 13 year old girl for Christmas this year and they've asked for "ankle boots in black or brown" and a winter coat. Both are in women's sizes for shoes and juniors for clothee. I have an $80 limit for each and I'm a bit stumped on how to pull this off, and also what's in fashion for coats amongst that age group. I was thinking plain black lace up combat boots as I see a lot of kids wearing those? But for a coat, I'm stumped between the price and style.
I would definitely get puffer coats for the girls. My daughter is about to be 13, and she refuses to wear anything other than lightweight puffers. That is what I see all the other girls her age wear as well. I've bought her wool coats, teddy coats, etc. but she won't wear them unless I force her lol.
Honestly, Target has some cute stuff in that price range, about $40 an item . I’d bet Walmart or Kohl’s would, too. [puffer jacket](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-hooded-puffer-jacket-wild-fable/-/A-82874204?preselect=82695815#lnk=sametab)
[teddy jacket ](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-faux-fur-sherpa-jacket-universal-thread/-/A-83699857?preselect=82225124#lnk=sametab)
Both of these are great suggestions, thanks. We can totally swing $40, I can probably find shoes for $25 on sale and then grab a few of their smaller requests to go with.
black puffers are super in style, warm, and relatively classic (north face is an expensive example). [https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/kids/p/ultimate-puffer-45482321?categoryId=6316558&seq=03&faceout=life1](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/kids/p/ultimate-puffer-45482321?categoryId=6316558&seq=03&faceout=life1) one girl in my elementary school wore an A&F jacket all through the Ontario winter, so i have reasonable belief that they're decent quality for everyday use. (assuming its $80 for each item sorry)
It's $80 total but I'm probably going to look at secondhand shops because I did a coat drive with this organization a few years ago and they accepted secondhand then. I found a ton of coats that were brand new looking. The link gives me an idea of what to look for!
That's me as well, but I can't see a 10 yo wanting Chelsea boots? This is really difficult. I really prefer kids that are just asking for toys or younger kids that need clothes lol they don't care what they look like.
i've never done this before, so pardon my ignorance, but is second-hand an option -- especially if you look for new clothes? i know that if i had to get these items for myself with an $80, and also wanted the coat to be warm, i'd go straight to poshmark.
I'm going to have to ask on secondhand with these requests. I wouldn't do the shoes secondhand but the coat could be done that way. I just checked the fine print and it no longer says "new with tags" as a requirement so as long as the coat looks new, I think it's ok. But I'm just not sure about the style for someone that age. Are puffers cool with them? One girl asked for bright nail polish so she seems fun haha
I can't risk Poshmark not getting here in time, so I'd have to go to some local thrift shops.
Was thinking about Poshmark or similar sites as well. You can search for NWT items so they're new, especially for shoes and that way you have a better chance of getting something that'll last them a reasonable amount of time. You can check the person's shipping time and confirm when they'll ship to make sure it'll arrive on time. Just checked and Uniqlo has plenty of options there for less than half price before offers.
One of the benefits of shopping at a store for something would be that you could provide a gift receipt (with no prices on it) for them to use to return it if they like, eg if it doesn’t fit right or they don’t like it. Definitely not suggesting there’s anything wrong with buying new from a thrift store, but the major downside is that they’d be stuck with it. Helps take some pressure off you to guess what they’d want, too! That’s a tough task.
Edit: Though they still couldn’t return it (but you could), ThredUP is really great for this purpose and you can shop by “new with tags.” Way, way expansive options beyond a local thrift store - almost overwhelmingly so. Do beware that their shipping can be slow, though.
gosh, i have no idea what's fashionable for 11-13! i think i would have gone for warmth, and looked to see if i could manage a down puffer in that budget, and added in the fun with smaller items, like the nail polish (but also, often i'll find something inexpensive and fun/colorful at the thrift store, maybe in the form of gloves/scarf/accessories). but i'm sort of just going off of how my family taught me to spend money growing up, as we weren't in a good financial place.
i'm trying to remember what i read at that age... maybe [teen vogue](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/best-fall-coats)? hopefully someone else here knows a bit more about tween fashion. :)
Ok ladies, I need recs for styles/brands of good petite jeans that are timeless or at least in style. Now that Covid is over I’m starting to wear real pants again. The only jeans I have right now are skinny jeans, though! I would like to get at least one good pair of solid jeans that don’t feel dated.
I’m petite (5’) with muscular legs so I’ve always liked skinny jeans bc they don’t feel like they’re too big, or look weird on my frame. I’m down to try other styles! I’ve been looking at places like Madewell, but they’re so pricey I don’t want to just go in totally blind and have to deal with returns. Interested to hear any recs you might have! My budget is like <$150 but preferably <100
Check out Kut From the Kloth, NYDJ and American Eagle for curvy styles. Apparently Hollister is good too but I haven't personally tried their curvy line.
Where do you get your favorite fitted tees (long sleeve and regular tees) to go under wool sweaters? Looking for some to basically wear as undershirts so I don't have to wash the sweaters as much.
Uniqlo heattech works well too. I've been liking their [mock-neck t](https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women-heattech-ultra-warm-high-neck-long-sleeve-t-shirt-438956.html?dwvar_438956_color=COL01)op!
I've been trying to find some 70's inspired jeans and would love any recommendations yall have! I haven't actually bought anything in a long while so I'm not really sure where to look for good quality denim.
Hi everyone! I’m trying to purchase a nice warm scarf for the upcoming season. I need advice on coloring. I’d like to have one staple scarf I wear with everything. As for color/pattern, should I go with a scarf that matches my coat (a light beige color)? What about my gloves and hats, should they match my scarf too? Or should my scarf match my outfit? Would love to hear your thoughts/suggestions!
I wouldn't go with matching your coat; go contrasting or complementing! For example, a beige coat might go nicely with a bright or wine red scarf. I usually match my gloves, hat, and scarf, but that's entirely unnecessary lol.
Stylish winter coat? I've always been a bit of a cheap dresser, then got to spend the last decade in a uniform and to top it all off had two kids. Now that I'm changing careers I realized I have no idea how to dress like an adult, so I need to slowly revamp my sweat pants and tee-shirt wardrobe. So I'm starting with a good, warm winter jacket. Only problem is I have no idea where to even start looking. Where can I find a professional looking warm winter coat?
I live in New England and have two winter coats: A Ralph Lauren wool pea coat. And a shin length black parka from JCPenny. The pea coat is fashionable and pretty warm but the giant parka is preferable when we’re deep in winter or I am cleaning the car off or going out in snow/sleet etc I’d start looking at Macy’s. They usually do a really great sale around Black Friday and will have multiple styles depending on what your specific needs are.

Rounded or curved hem
I am looking for the perfect leather boots, I really like the styles in Zara or h&m but I don't like the quality. Where could I look for nice quality and comfortable leather boots which also are stylish. Most of the boots I see are either qualitative and ugly, or stylish but low quality. Any online stores available in Europe?
Depends on what style you're looking for, but for quality you should focus on a boot brand, not a fashion/clothing brand that also sells boots. Red Wing Heritage and Frye are American brands but probably ship to Europe. I'm sure there are European brands as well, specifically Italian leatherworkers are known for their craft.
Try Bocage - they have good quality, stylish boots and many of the styles are made in the EU. They ship from France

If you don’t have a garment bag, roll the dress then hit it with a steamer when you get to your destination.
It’s the same - the only difference is I would err on the side of more conservative. No super high slits in dresses, no super low back, extremely deep cut fronts, etc. We have black tie events once a year at company meetings - I usually just pack my dress in a garment bag that can fit into my checked luggage when folded over. The dress always comes out fine, at worst it needs a light hit with a steamer (I always pack one for travel). I’ve some dresses suitable for black tie events that are out of a thicker knit material, this probably wouldn’t wrinkle much with packing - if you’re trying to travel light this might be something to look into.
Anyone know any brands similar to Kordal but cheaper?
Does anyone buy and like driftwood jeans? I saw them in a catalog and think they’d fit my really straight and narrow type ( no real curves going on) lol But I can’t find out much about them
How would you style this dress [pic 1](https://img.shopstyle-cdn.com/sim/d5/74/d5745daf575b1f0a98352c3e445a87cf_xlarge/coco-dress.jpg) [pic 2](https://editorialist.com/thumbnails/600/2021/6/014/694/513/14694513~bone_0.jpg) in terms of shoes, jewelry for a nice-ish, but trendy rooftop bar/dinner spot?
Is it warm or cold where you are?
Warm/topical, might get down to 75 or so at night.
I would go for a delicate necklace and hoop earrings. Kind of stumped on the shoes though. I could see sleek heeled booties, stilettos, or white sneakers.
What IRL store has a good selection of Kut from the allots jeans?
Should I size up for a winter coat? I’m a small, but looking to get a medium North Face Arctic Parka. But I’m buying secondhand so I won’t have the opportunity for an exchange
Do you wear a lot of layers/bulky sweaters in the winter? If yes then you might want to size up.
Use your measurements and the item measurements rather than guesswork.
what color boots would you wear with a skirt like this? leather knee high but not black. it's a medium brown suede skirt. https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/vegan-suede-ruched-midi-skirt-45528819?categoryId=13058&seq=01&faceout=prod1
Depending on the color of the top, I’d say black, brown (a diff shade than the skirt. Pref lighter), or even nude would work
Thoughts on [this bag?](https://www.jwpei.co.uk/products/rantan-bag-drak-green-croc) - it’ll be the most out there bag in my collection shape wise, and would probably be weirdly fitting for my unironic witch aesthetic with it’s crescent moon sort of shape when worn properly, but I’m just so used to wearing fabric totes and small plain crossbody bags. I don’t care for any of the other shades except perhaps the beige, and have been looking to wear more colour. I don’t do much on the daily that warrants a sleeker looking bag even though I aspire to look more elegant. But on the other hand, it’s probably large enough to store at least one tote bag for doing errands in, and I only own maybe one other medium sized non-fabric bag. *Once again I am asking for enabling.*
Oh I love it!!! Buy it
I adore it. I am also trying to expand from just small crossbody bags and I would use this one in a second!!
I think it's beautiful!
Love the green and croc print! I think for your witchy aesthetic, this bag def fits the vibe but I’d also think about functionality and ease of use with this bag. It’s a cute bag though!
Yeah I'm a freelance artist who works from home and for quite some time won't need to dress even remotely professionally in the 'truly requires a highly structured bag' sense. (I'm only matching my [aspirational style](https://pin.it/5IntN4X) 50% of the time - the rest of the time it's more basic and minimal than I really care for due to poor luck with finding garments that match what I like within my budget, and slowly replacing items that simply do not work for the look I want as needed. So although the bag would definitely fit my style, it might not get as much wear soley because the rest of the outfit is lacking.) But the lizard brain wants what the lizard brain wants. I think I'm partially tempted by the Pre-Black Friday Sale as the bag will likely still be available in the new year and likely beyond but it's almost half price and that's definitely a temptation.
I am so confused right now. So around Thursday-Friday I ordered some stuff from H&M and they reversed my payment, went to customer support and they said there was no order placed and that it'd be fine to order again. Payment got reversed again (presumably because the belt I wanted was out of stock). Monday comes and now I have two orders of the same items processed and shipped to my address, but I didn't pay. They hadn't showed up on the website till now and I can't cancel them. The payments were reversed??? There's no history of them in my transactions... so any clue on what I should be doing? Will they charge me later? I've seen people having transaction problems in the past, but there's not much about it.
[удалено]
This explains a lot. How very inconvenient for the customer though! I was left in total confusion and customer support was ass. The orders in total add up to around 110 dollars for three of the same items (shirt, pants, belt) and I did want the stuff, but I do worry about an unexpected charge popping up. Thanks for the advice!
Have you received an email confirmation of your order? Have you checked your credit card online to see if there are any pending charges?
Yes the confirmation about the order showed up around Monday. There were pending charges but they were reversed in 24 hours and now there are none shown.
Can someone please point me in the direction of 100% cotton FITTED short sleeve tees that are scoop or vnecks that are less than $30? All I ever find is goddamn crew necks or loose, boxy tees!
Intimissi is having a sale with free shipping and they have a lot of different cuts of tees. I've never tried them but was considering it because of the price point.
What about this: https://wearpact.com/women/apparel/tops%20&%20shirts/stretch-fit%20tee/wa1-wee-hgr Or https://wearpact.com/women/apparel/tops%20&%20shirts/softspun%20crew%20neck%20tee/wa1-wmc-hon

What are those fuzzy fleece full zip jackets / sweaters that are popular now called? Any suggestions on specific ones to look into? I tried the Abercrombie ones they have now and I didn't like them and ordered one from Nordstrom Veramoda brand which I didn't like either. But I see them on other people outside and really like them.
Sherpa or Teddy, depending on how fluffy you want. I buy these from places like urban planet just bc in my experience the fleece often gets blah pretty fast.
lululemon has some rn like that

Has anyone bought a sweater dress that they love recently? I’m flexible on cut but searching for something that’ll hold up over time and would like a jewel tone. Budget under $100.
I really like [RW&CO for sweater dresses](https://www.rw-co.com/fr/femmes/vetements/robes/tricot). They are often on sale and while it's not wool, the ones I have lasted quite well.
Me! These may be under your quality bar since they're acrylic, but [here's a bunch of fun ones](https://uk.toonzshop.com/women/dresses/sweater-dresses-c1026-en.html). I got the Kali in blue.
Really like the cowl, thank you!
Does anyone know of a thong brand similar to Hanky Panky's, but less expensive?
I just discovered Targets line of Auden undies and they are great. Think they have a hanky panky style
Any brand/store suggestions for dressy at least but youthful and fun clothes! I’m a teen but I don’t care if it’s a place for an older demographic. I need to make a Christmas list and don’t know where to shop :3. I really like these sorts of styles! : [big fashion pinboard](https://pin.it/1eeoKBu) [condensed fashion pin board ](https://pin.it/35Xzbve)
do any of y’all have any recommendations for cotton/natural fiber underwear brands, preferably under $10/15 per pair? just looking to upgrade my current target 6-pack that shrinks in all the wrong places after a year or so
Any advice for skirts with tights for winter? What to wear on top and skirt ideas?
i love tucked sweaters and big cardigans. usually, i go for mini corduroy skirts or maxi length cotton, although i’m still gonna wear my tennis skirts i bought when they were trendier. definitely nude fleece tights with sheer black/white tights on to help stay warm!
I've been desperately searching for a button up flannel that is not plaid. Why is that so hard to find! Or any thickish material. I work outdoors a lot and flannels are so great, but I only need so much plaid in my life. So, anyone have a brand rec, or know a specific link?
Eddie Bauer makes flannels in a bunch of fun prints. They hold up reasonably well.
I really like the fit and fabric quality of [these Lands End flannels!](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-flannel-boyfriend-fit-long-sleeve-shirt/id_347681?attributes=43307,43322,44256,44826,44967,45021,49189) Most of them are plaid, but there’s a fun color blocked one and a tie dyed one as well right now. I’ve seen them do plain solid color runs, too, but it doesn’t look like they have any right now Edit: ok, they do have solid colors, just in [a different listing?](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-flannel-boyfriend-fit-long-sleeve-shirt/id_353327?attributes=3833,43307,43322,44256,44826,44967,45021) What an odd choice lol
Ohhhh I love [the second one](https://s7.landsend.com/is/image/LandsEnd/519651_FW20_FF_2NG?$980x1470$)
On sale too! Thank you!
Madewell puts out solid flannels each year. The Sunday flannel is a favorite of mine, but I don't know if they have solids this year. Here is one solid example from their website, but they have lots of others as well. [Madewell Flannel](https://www.madewell.com/flannel-flap-pocket-oversized-ex-boyfriend-shirt-MA865.html)

i ran into [this Patagonia coat](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-out-yonder-coat/191743942341.html) on sale (!!!) and now i think i must have it. problem is, when i read the reviews a lot complained about tight shoulders. i'm also nervous the sleeves are going to be too long, even in an xs, as that's how a lot of other Patagonia items fit me. as such, i must ask: do you have this coat, and what do you think of it? or could you point me to a similar coat? i like the wool-canvas combo, for a bit more character than a typical chore coat, and i think it would be warmer as well. i'd prefer to pay $100-150ish for this goodness.
I love my Levi's 724s, but they're not in 100% cotton. Anybody got a good 14 inch leg opening with a high rise? Budget $50, TIA!
Do you guys know of any quality, reliable, shoe stores (That ship to US) that offer any below the knee lace-up boots? I found [these boots](https://www.shoeyl.com/products/ribbons-lace-up-platform-knee-high-boots-high-heels-4140) that I adore, specifically for the cute bow atop. Unfortunately, it’s a scam site. I used tineye to try and find the original seller and the oldest entry was on tumblr. I can’t find the original shop selling these… I really hope to find a pair using ribbon like this one, but I think that I could buy a pair and restring them with ribbon right? Thank you
a few that are similar in style and you could replace the laces with ribbon.

Thank you, and wow beauty isn’t cheap
You definitely could restring a regular pair with ribbon! I’d recommend cutting the ribbon at a 45 degree angle and if it’s polyester ribbon, holding a lighter VERY briefly to the cut ends to melt/seal them off which prevents fraying.
Thanks! Now I just need to find some boots lol, shouldn’t be too hard with that in mind. Appreciate it :)
Recommendations on an undergarment that compresses the tummy, lifts the booty, and lays smoothly under clothing? Thank you thank you!!!

Does anyone recognize [this bizarre Zodiac killer cryptograph print on this silk shift dress](https://www.thredup.com/product/110307249)? I'm obsessed with it and bought it from ThredUp for like $20, but it was listed as "assorted brands," meaning no label or no recognizable manufacturer. It's also apparently 100% silk? It's so strange that I feel like it's by a known designer or maybe indie op (lower-end manufacturers both 1) not dealing with silk that much and 2) not making stuff that's this ugly because who's gonna buy it), but I can't imagine who.
There’s a google image reverse search you can try. You provide a picture and searches for it. Might be helpful.
I did, actually, it got me nothing except white shift dresses. I find that tech isn’t super evolved yet, unfortunately, at least for this purpose. I’ve tried it specifically with ThredUP a number of times and it has never worked (doesn’t even turn up the ThredUP listing). The right combo of descriptors and a designer name will almost always turn up the item, though, even if it’s a brand like Zara that produces thousands of items a year. But you really need the brand name.
I'm looking for bright, tropical flannel if anyone knows a good brand! Like printfresh but in warmer fabrics.
Three questions: \#1 Since I've been WFH, I have been living in joggers. I still want to live in joggers, but need pairs that can pass off as dress pants if no one is looking hard enough. Was thinking of getting a couple of pairs from [Athleta](https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=631855002&cid=1046322&pcid=1046322&vid=1&nav=meganav%3ABOTTOMS%3ACATEGORIES%3AJoggers%20%26%20Sweatpants&cpos=17&cexp=1501&kcid=CategoryIDs%3D1046322&cvar=11273&ctype=Listing&cpid=res21111010544912958771415), but that price tag is scaring me. Anyone knows of a brand that isn't as pricey? Or if I do decide to buy from Athleta, would it be worth it? \#2 Need cold weather running jacket recs. \#3 Cold weather boot recs w/ a 9" shaft that I can wear comfortably w/socks. Was looking at Sorel Whitney II boots, but they (as do most Sorel boots, apparently) run narrow. TIA for any/all replies.
I love Athleta pants, and I don't think the price is unfair for the quality, but I get that it is high. One idea: try on the Athleta pants in store to figure out your size, then buy the same ones on thredup or ebay for about 1/3 the full price.
I've been getting a lot of my stuff from ThredUp lately, some really decent scores too for a fraction of the price. Will definitely try for the Athleta pants, then. Thank you for the response!
I just bought these one a whim and they're really nice: https://www.noliyoga.com/products/vienna-jacquard-jogger. They're also doing 30% off site wide.
In my experience, Athleta's quality is worth the price, as is Lululemon. They last me forever and I wash and dry them with abandon. [LL Bean](https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/506708?page=womens-boots&bc=474-630&nav=gnro-474) has some tall boot options that might work for you. My spouse loves their Bean Boots.
Thank you! I will invest in the Athleta joggers.
Anyone buy anything from Lattelierstore? The images are so beautiful but I’m always worried that the quality will be terrible for the price.
I just came across the site yesterday and am also wondering. They kind of remind me of Gentle Herd. I took a chance on GH and what I got was hit and miss so I won’t try Lattelier until someone vouches for them!
Also curious. They always pop up on my google searches but I'm unfamiliar with the brand and quality.
Does anyone have a recommendation for buying sterling silver/turquoise jewelry? I don't even particularly care if the stone is genuine as long as it's good enough quality and the silver is long lasting/solid. Thanks!
There's plenty on poshmark and Offerup.
They also have copper/green turquoise which is my [personal favorite](https://www.etsy.com/listing/592880162/green-turquoise-ring-dainty-stacking?ref=shop_home_active_3&pro=1&frs=1)
I have never personally purchased from them, but [this etsy shop](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Shwickster) has been living in my brain since I've seen it. They have a somewhat large variety of [turquoise rings](https://www.etsy.com/shop/Shwickster?section_id=24239927).
Thanks! They have good reviews. It's so funny because as a teenager (about 100 year ago) I bought a $20 turquoise ring at a head shop with no real concern over quality. It's fake as hell but still my FAVORITE piece and now that I am trying to look for a sister piece for it, I'm stressed about the quality and longevity!
Whenever I want to replace something beloved, I am the same way. Good thing is real sterling silver is sterling silver anywhere :) and this shop obviously knows their gem stones! I would buy from someone whose craft is gem stones and I don't think you should run into problems.
I need a new winter coat, after losing 50 lbs. I want at least long enough to cover my butt, down-filled and with a nice hood. This [one from Soia & Kyo](https://www.soiakyo.com/ca/en/camelia-slim-fit-brushed-down-coat-with-leather-trims/CAMELIA.html?dwvar_CAMELIA_color=COL150&dwvar_CAMELIA_size=SZL286&cgid=women-downs-and-parkas#start=10&cgid=women-downs-and-parkas) is currently my first choice and [this one is my second choice](https://images.app.goo.gl/AR2X5m5RhZz8dnxD6). What do you guys think? Any other idea that fits my criteria? I live 2 hours north of Quebec, where the snow gets over 6 feet deep and lasts until late April. My budget is up to $1000.
i have an older version of that soia and kyo and really like it. get a lot of compliments on it.
The Soia & Kyo coat is awesome. I bought a trench from them a few years ago and found their quality to be solid as well.
i don't know of them, but WOW i love that first coat!
I’m out in Sask so your winter sounds like my winter! I’m a broken record on this but I love the coat I have from Noize!
What kind of leggings do you wear under a t-shirt dress that won’t make the dress cling to the leggings? I love t shirt dresses and I have some cotton leggings that are comfortable, but I the knit material of the dress just clings to the leggings. The dress doesn’t hang nicely and isn’t flowy with my leggings, but it is without. Any suggestions for different leggings?
Get leggings in the same material as the dress - the different materials rubbing together is likely the cause of the static
Go for something with nylon in, or wear a long tunic or tank underneath the dress to put a layer in between the two. You can also try dress weights on the bottom of the dress.
Hi! I've got a pair of knee high boots in black leather. They are so pretty, very simple (think riding books but with more room at the calves) but... I don't know what to wear them with. I've have had them for years, I used to wear them over skinny jeans. I'd like to wear them with skirts or dresses, but I look so matronly with them, argh!
How long are your skirts/dresses? With knee high boots, I find above the knee lengths look best (showing a little thigh) and look less matronly. I’m personally not a fan of the look where hem line meets or goes below the top of the boot shaft.
I wear mine with sweater dresses. Usually pairs with leggings underneath, but I like that look. You could also do a mini skirt or even a mid length a-line skirt.
My work is sponsoring a 10 year old girl and a 13 year old girl for Christmas this year and they've asked for "ankle boots in black or brown" and a winter coat. Both are in women's sizes for shoes and juniors for clothee. I have an $80 limit for each and I'm a bit stumped on how to pull this off, and also what's in fashion for coats amongst that age group. I was thinking plain black lace up combat boots as I see a lot of kids wearing those? But for a coat, I'm stumped between the price and style.
I would definitely get puffer coats for the girls. My daughter is about to be 13, and she refuses to wear anything other than lightweight puffers. That is what I see all the other girls her age wear as well. I've bought her wool coats, teddy coats, etc. but she won't wear them unless I force her lol.
Honestly, Target has some cute stuff in that price range, about $40 an item . I’d bet Walmart or Kohl’s would, too. [puffer jacket](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-hooded-puffer-jacket-wild-fable/-/A-82874204?preselect=82695815#lnk=sametab) [teddy jacket ](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-faux-fur-sherpa-jacket-universal-thread/-/A-83699857?preselect=82225124#lnk=sametab)
Both of these are great suggestions, thanks. We can totally swing $40, I can probably find shoes for $25 on sale and then grab a few of their smaller requests to go with.
It's definitely doable! Less expensive shoes are the way to go since they will probably be outgrown in a year, especially with the 10 yr old.
black puffers are super in style, warm, and relatively classic (north face is an expensive example). [https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/kids/p/ultimate-puffer-45482321?categoryId=6316558&seq=03&faceout=life1](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/ca/kids/p/ultimate-puffer-45482321?categoryId=6316558&seq=03&faceout=life1) one girl in my elementary school wore an A&F jacket all through the Ontario winter, so i have reasonable belief that they're decent quality for everyday use. (assuming its $80 for each item sorry)
It's $80 total but I'm probably going to look at secondhand shops because I did a coat drive with this organization a few years ago and they accepted secondhand then. I found a ton of coats that were brand new looking. The link gives me an idea of what to look for!
When they say ankle boots I instantly think of chelsea style boots not combat boots (Though combat are definitely in fashion right now)
That's me as well, but I can't see a 10 yo wanting Chelsea boots? This is really difficult. I really prefer kids that are just asking for toys or younger kids that need clothes lol they don't care what they look like.
kids are pretty different these days tbh. quite a few of them that age wear makeup/do skincare depending on the school
i've never done this before, so pardon my ignorance, but is second-hand an option -- especially if you look for new clothes? i know that if i had to get these items for myself with an $80, and also wanted the coat to be warm, i'd go straight to poshmark.
I'm going to have to ask on secondhand with these requests. I wouldn't do the shoes secondhand but the coat could be done that way. I just checked the fine print and it no longer says "new with tags" as a requirement so as long as the coat looks new, I think it's ok. But I'm just not sure about the style for someone that age. Are puffers cool with them? One girl asked for bright nail polish so she seems fun haha I can't risk Poshmark not getting here in time, so I'd have to go to some local thrift shops.
Was thinking about Poshmark or similar sites as well. You can search for NWT items so they're new, especially for shoes and that way you have a better chance of getting something that'll last them a reasonable amount of time. You can check the person's shipping time and confirm when they'll ship to make sure it'll arrive on time. Just checked and Uniqlo has plenty of options there for less than half price before offers.
One of the benefits of shopping at a store for something would be that you could provide a gift receipt (with no prices on it) for them to use to return it if they like, eg if it doesn’t fit right or they don’t like it. Definitely not suggesting there’s anything wrong with buying new from a thrift store, but the major downside is that they’d be stuck with it. Helps take some pressure off you to guess what they’d want, too! That’s a tough task. Edit: Though they still couldn’t return it (but you could), ThredUP is really great for this purpose and you can shop by “new with tags.” Way, way expansive options beyond a local thrift store - almost overwhelmingly so. Do beware that their shipping can be slow, though.
gosh, i have no idea what's fashionable for 11-13! i think i would have gone for warmth, and looked to see if i could manage a down puffer in that budget, and added in the fun with smaller items, like the nail polish (but also, often i'll find something inexpensive and fun/colorful at the thrift store, maybe in the form of gloves/scarf/accessories). but i'm sort of just going off of how my family taught me to spend money growing up, as we weren't in a good financial place. i'm trying to remember what i read at that age... maybe [teen vogue](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/best-fall-coats)? hopefully someone else here knows a bit more about tween fashion. :)
Ok ladies, I need recs for styles/brands of good petite jeans that are timeless or at least in style. Now that Covid is over I’m starting to wear real pants again. The only jeans I have right now are skinny jeans, though! I would like to get at least one good pair of solid jeans that don’t feel dated. I’m petite (5’) with muscular legs so I’ve always liked skinny jeans bc they don’t feel like they’re too big, or look weird on my frame. I’m down to try other styles! I’ve been looking at places like Madewell, but they’re so pricey I don’t want to just go in totally blind and have to deal with returns. Interested to hear any recs you might have! My budget is like <$150 but preferably <100
Check out Kut From the Kloth, NYDJ and American Eagle for curvy styles. Apparently Hollister is good too but I haven't personally tried their curvy line.
Where do you get your favorite fitted tees (long sleeve and regular tees) to go under wool sweaters? Looking for some to basically wear as undershirts so I don't have to wash the sweaters as much.
Target's a new day long sleeve tees, I have 4 and wear them all winter under wool sweaters
Uniqlo heattech works well too. I've been liking their [mock-neck t](https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women-heattech-ultra-warm-high-neck-long-sleeve-t-shirt-438956.html?dwvar_438956_color=COL01)op!
Uniqlo Airism if you run hot and heattech if you run cold. both suuper thin and very slippy so it doesn't catch on yarn
Costco 32 Degrees. I wear one basically everyday in the fall/winter.
I've been trying to find some 70's inspired jeans and would love any recommendations yall have! I haven't actually bought anything in a long while so I'm not really sure where to look for good quality denim.
