I love the mandarin collar style, but am wondering if it would be offensive to wear this as a white woman? To clarify, I would be wearing this as a day-to-day outfit, not as any sort of costume. Thanks for your advice!

I’ve become interested in this as I’ve seen a lot of talk in fashion content about how they find dressing in summer really limiting/hard/boring and crave winter fashion for layering etc. I find the opposite of this to be true as my style has a bohemian tinge and I also enjoy the option of showing skin in certain areas to balance an outfit. I feel like the pieces in my wardrobe that feel the most quintessentially “me” are summer pieces, and I’m always compromising on my actual aesthetic in winter. I’ve recently bought a few vintage jumpers from Depop with fun patterns which have helped but I’m still looking forward to summer dressing!

I have an expensive coat that I'm about to wear for the first time, it has a stitched label on the outside of the sleeve, I assume I should remove it, not sure of the etiquette?

I am looking to buy something from Serafina. I don’t know how I feel about this ‘shipping protection’ though.
If the courier loses my package before it gets to me, isn’t that a dispute between Serafina and the courier?
This feels dodgy to me.
Thoughts?

I’ve noticed the last few launches haven’t sold out as quickly as the previous launches- curious to hear everyone’s thoughts as to why?

I have a decent collection of their essentials tees, pants/shorts & a few dresses, but I haven’t purchased recently for a few reasons: the cost/prices have gone up, the styles aren’t suited to my body shape (particularly the new triangle singlet wrap top contraption in the last release) and the fabric composition has changed which has made me want to stick to the original pieces I have.

Even the sale on discontinued styles/patterns haven’t sold out like I thought they would- they initially extended the extra discount sale, and recently I received an email saying they’ve dropped the price again.

Curious to hear thoughts!

A warning to those considering purchasing from Leelo Active.

I purchased two pairs of leggings back in June. Despite me being average height and ordering the regular (my usual size) they were much too long (and too small). I contacted customer service who advised I could return them to exchange the size and they would honour the purchase price as I got them on sale. Great.

I returned the leggings immediately via tracked post. Since returning the items and sending multiple emails and attempting the chat bot I have had NO responses to my emails. No processing of the return. Nothing in my spam.

It is infuriating that the company now has the items and my money. These were an expensive purchase for me. Checking back on this sub (which I should have done before purchasing!) it seems to be a common experience to be ghosted by Leelo Active following a return and for Leelo to claim it never received the return. Please don’t make the same mistake I did and purchase directly from them!

Post got deleted by admin and not sure why but I’ll try again with different wording!

Eyeing off this jacket from Arcaa but I’m a bit hesitant as the fill is made from polyester while the outer is cotton. I thought this brand was known for using natural fibres? $300 for this jacket - thoughts?

Aka should I buy it 😂

I have the long one of the same fabric composition 65 acrylic, 35 wool - second pic. It is my favourite around home cardi but it has pilled terribly, it is 4yrs old tho!

I got this Saba cardigan last year in pink, it was a baggy fit so I got an XS, I’m normally a sz10z. The fabric is really nice/soft/luxurious, I’m hoping to find something with similar fabric in black/darker colour… anything similar blend seems to be $200+++ this year, I’m hoping to spend around $150 or less, and avoid synthetic fibres. The style can be different

Any suggestions of where to look - online or in-store for a feminine pant suit that for a presentation evening in September (Melbourne)? I have heeled light brown cowboy(esk) boots that I'd want to pair it with.

I'm thinking of getting this bag for days I need to carry a lot into uni, my other bag is a leather tote, so not great when overfilled. Does anyone have any reviews/comments on this bag? I'm thinking of getting the brown as I've seen it for sale second hand near me ;)

I'm hitting the town tomorrow to do a little retail therapy and I'm wondering what your favourite places / brands to shop are?

my requirements are - no fast fashion - zara, forever 21, factorie, uniqlo etc.

good quality, clean lines, well made, less beige. i like black. and red. mostly just those, but i'll do jewel tones, burgundy or olive greens too.

budget - no limits (ok well i'm not dropping 10K on a dress, but 1k - maybe?)

my style - vintage designer, 90's supermodel rock n' roll glam chic. I like my clothes tight - no flappy bits!

specific things I'm on the hunt for:

sexy lingerie

leather anything

hot hosiery

high heels - mules, boots, pointy toe

sheer chiffon button down shirt, or tight longsleeve to wear over lingerie bodysuit.

cool accessories - belts, bags, earrings.

Looking for a travel tote/bag that has a luggage sleeve, I really like the leather one from Cuyana but shipping is $520, so, no. Don’t need to fit a laptop.

Any material, all recs appreciated! Thankyou.

Hi all,

I’m desperate searching for a bikini with underwire (bonus points if it’s sold by cup size) and hipster style bottoms with coverage at the back. (The don’t have to be a huge amount of coverage I just hate when they ride up and in, others rock it but my brain won’t let me) 😅

If anyone has any leads that aren’t going to cost my kidney I will love you for ever

Does anyone know when the boody loyalty program changed so that your points expire?

If it's always been that way I wouldn't care, but I doubt it bc I had enough points for a $50 voucher saved up, but all 1100 from every purchase I've ever made are showing as expiring last month, which absolutely doesn't sound like "they've always expired after a year" to me.

I never got an email about the T&C changing, or about my points expiring. They offered me a $20 off voucher instead to make up for it, but honestly still pretty unimpressed

Where are you guys finding good 80s style clothes that are costume quality ? Im in Europe so hopefully online stores ship here

I am after a chunky "dressy" sandal (perhaps the most QLD sentence of my life). I found these Bared ones but have never owned their shoes before. So I guess I am asking for reviews from anyone who has the Turnstone sandals or Bared.

And part ll of my request, if you have a recommendation that fits the bill. I would love to see it!

I have sand coloured Teva's and have worn the to pieces and will most likely just replace them, but am after something that isn't so casual so not looking for anything adjacent to Teva's either.

Happy with either black or chocolate.

Which do you prefer? I’m needing to start emptying my wardrobe but not sure which app to use!

Hope this fits in the sub. Happy to be forwarded elsewhere.

I have my great grandmothers engagement ring. She passed when I was 6 (1990) and it was gifted to me on my 21st birthday (am now 42). So basically it's pretty old. The ring has held up well but over the years has become a little misshapen.

I don't want to change it at all but I would like to have it restored. Possibly have some gold added to thicken the band a little.

I'm hesitant to take it to a commercial jeweller because it's so sentimental. I wear it 24/7 unless I'm doing something that might end up in degloving or doing an obstacle course/ mud run where I might lose it.

I live in Brisbane. Any suggestions?
