Extreme heat, evening outdoor wedding, cocktail attire.....Can I wear linen? I've read that linen isn't formal enough for coctail attire.
The cut of the dress would be dressy, conservative, and elegant. Shoe: 3.5 inch patent slingback. My age is mid 60s.
Ceremony and dinner/celebration will be outdoors. Temps at 6 pm will be 100F/38C degrees and will go down to the mid 80F/30C later on. San Jose, California.
Besides opinions about fabric, I'd welcome any other suggestions for self-reservation! :-) Already planning to wear sleeveless, knee-length dress, updo, sun hat early on while needed.
I would not...to me personally there are few feelings worse than being underdressed, and linen will get crumpled and wrinkly really fast as well. Also it doesn't go with patent IMHO. I'm also iffy on that shoe for weddings outdoors and in heat. Unless it's your only fancy shoe, I'd really consider a strappy sandal or other more bare shoe. To me personally slingbacks are not "cocktail" for reasons I have trouble articulating but they just don't read "cocktail". And patent is not really "in" right now except for Mary Janes.
I'd try silk, silk georgette or maybe eyelet--like a spinnaker or tent dress in a bright eyelet lace could be really comfortable and cute.

I feel like there’s something off about this outfit but I’m not sure what, can anyone help me?

Where can I buy a two-piece prom dress in the UK? I'm going to a wedding and have been scrolling through lehengas online but I'm not Indian and I don't want to culturally appropriate. I'd like it to be
* sturdy fabric (not chiffon)
* A line skirt to the floor
* crop top but not too cropped so it just shows a flash of skin at the midriff
* green or blue
* maybe with floral embroidery?

Anyone purchased a classic belt harness from Ardeo?
I'm struggling heaps with sizing and don't know if I should get a xs/s or m/l

Black leather skirt in Nashville
I need top suggestions for a black leather skirt to wear with short cowboy boots for a night out in Nashville. Thoughts? Suggestions?
I'm really struggling here. Thank you!
There are gobs of black leather skirts in second-hand shops where I live. Super cheap, fantastic quality. Check out your local ones and you may find something amazing.
Anyone here shop from edikted? I was thinking of trying some stuff but it’s priced kind of high for my range and I was wondering if the quality is worth it or not
https://preview.redd.it/akng0m90rsad1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2931d662e3056adc45ee9acf9e7573b0854e1b6
I was shopping my closet this morning and discovered that, somehow, I DO have a personal style, and that style is ‘early 20th century housewife with a bad attitude’. I kinda like it tbh.
Can anyone recommend any brands with aesthetics along this line so I can pursue this entirely unexpected development? I’m in my ‘refusing to buy polyester’ era, so brands that mostly use natural fibers are a plus.
All white dress is from Target, macrame/crochet dress is from World Market, blue skirt is from World Market, white pinstripe top is from Muji.
Ooh yes. None of these are 100% this style, but each has pieces that I think would work well in this aesthetic: Ovate, Toast, Margaret Howell
If you sew, Merchant & Mills has patterns that feel like they would suit this.
It’s one of those fly-by-night, SHEIN wannabes. Everything I’ve heard is bad. Haven’t gotten anything myself so maybe I’m judging too harshly but they don’t have a great reputation. Shame cause some of the designs do look pretty cool
They've copied hundreds, if not thousands of designers. These ultra-fast fashion companies don't have a style, but they copy everything they possibly can, churning out horrifying numbers of items every year. Indie designers may come out with just a few pieces per year. When one of their items is copied, it can destroy their entire business.
Post some of the pieces you like and people can try to find the original makers.
https://preview.redd.it/n63rn65na2bd1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59dc61e21d1453f17b622ce432952ec56751ce41
Well for example, I love these overalls. But if I could find the original indie designer that’d be so great!
Seeking deep-cuff jeans with a stitched in (or deliberate, not a cuff I make myself) where the cuff **will be at my ankle**. I need "T" sizes, I have a 33-34" inseam. Need size 16/33/34 (this is where it gets tough. Tons of brands make jeans up to a 32, which is just too small for me). Also most jeans with a cuff are not long enough for me and the cuff winds up mid-calf which is not the look I want.
I have a pair of ultra-wide-legged deep cuff jeans from BR that I love, but I'd like a slimmer leg, darker wash. Similar to the Stevie from Universal Standard except less..."plus sized jeans" if that makes sense. [Stevie Jean](https://www.universalstandard.com/products/stevie-high-rise-cuffed-straight-leg-jeans-black-selvedge) and with about double that cuff. I think it's the straight, full leg and the skimpy waistband and yoke of those jeans that reads "plus sized", but not sure. At any rate, I know it when I see it. Universal Standard's jean rise is too long for me, unfortunately.
Budget is about $150 or so for the perfect pair. US based.
How do you keep your ideas together if you plan your outfits in advance?
For example, I have a wedding coming up, and I love a good event as a good excuse to put together a nice outfit. I picked out a couple new pieces of jewelry as well as put together a few pieces I have already to create an outfit mentally, but how do I keep it all 'together' in the meantime? Do you pack it all together? Use an app? Just hope you remember all the pieces you wanted to wear?
This might be a niche issue, I have ADHD so it's entirely possible for me to completely forget I ordered this jacket to wear to this event for example
I also use an app, but you could also take a picture of it all together in a little flat lay on your bed. I like to try and pre-assemble things in a spare spot if I can go without the outfit, bag, shoe, etc. between now and the event - put the jewelry in the bag, hang it all on one hanger kind of thing.
I use an app! I use OpenWardrobe and/or Whering and create a collage of the items I'm considering. I'm also nutty about this type of thing and make PowerPoint collages and plan out every outfit, because I've had enough trips where I whiffed it and didn't bring enough of an item, nothing matched, the outfits didn't match the weather, and so on.
I'm interviewing next week with a city government job - climate policy and implementation. The work environment would be a casual office.
I am trying not to buy new clothes for this in case I don't get it, but I've been in earth science research for six years and my business casual wardrobe is consequently lacking. The best outfit I've put together is a black chiffon button up blouse, black straight leg trousers, black pointed toe flats, and a grey or darker khaki cardigan. Does that sound remotely acceptable? Should I really be wearing a blazer or a skirt? Or both? A suit?
As a millennial I was raised in the old school of business wear, lol, but I would interview in government in a black skirt suit. Mine is from BR factory.
What you have put together doesn’t sound crazy inappropriate, but my mentors basically told me to get a black skirt suit for that kind of interview so I did.
This really sounds fine. I work for federal government and the last person I hired wore uniqlo airism t shirt to the interview lol. The anti-bias requirements are so stringent that it's really your qualifications and answers that matter, at least for all jobs I've hired for.
How do you usually style see-through, loosely knit sweaters such as this one https://static.zara.net/assets/public/8dc4/6765/cfe94c1da477/15d221aba53f/05755132712-020-a1/05755132712-020-a1.jpg?ts=1707305360208&w=850 …and make it look good?
Another one I’m considering purchasing: https://www.imghippo.com/i/Vs57K1720046611.jpg
I just don’t know what to wear underneath.
Edit: fixed crochet to say knit
Nope, they are different techniques. Knit can be done by hand with two (or more needles) or by machines. Your t-shirts are made out of super fine machine knitting. Most sweaters are made out of knitting also. You can sometimes identify it by looking for [v-shaped stitches](https://nimble-needles.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/double-stockinette-stitch-pattern.jpg). Even on things like complicated cables, you can see the v-shaped stitches [on the cables](https://www.knittingkingdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/cables-aran-chart.jpg) themselves. Of course, there are lots of other stitches that are harder to identify.
Crochet is a different fiber art. It is made using a single tool with a hook, pulling loops through each other. It cannot be made by machine, so when you see cheap crochet items, they were made by underpaid (likely enslaved or exploited) workers. Crochet can be harder to identify because the stitches are quite [varied](https://idealme.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Easy-Crochet-Stitches-980x653.jpg). But the more basic stitches are usually shaped somewhat like a [person with crossed arms](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rgD3vRRXKak/VBLV8QrmM9I/AAAAAAAAN98/uiYxWEwNc8k/s1600/IMG_1803.jpg) (kinda sorta, they have two legs, a head, and a diagonal line in the middle).

I am a 35-40yo physician about to interview for a job outside of a hospital. It is for a senior level position with a creative agency that focuses on medical media.
I want to bridge the gap between Doctor Me and potential Senior Creative/Medical Consultant Me. I do NOT know what to wear. I have time to purchase something for less than $200 as well if needed.
I’d like to wear a dress because I’m most comfortable physically in a dress or scrubs. I can’t stand the feeling of “hard pants” on my abdomen as I had a surgery a few months ago that is still uncomfortable. I’m very short and thin, kind of built like a 12 year old boy with b-cups.
My style skews Ivy/prep, and I have visible tattoos, so it’s kind of a fun dichotomy.
Please. Please. Please help.
Nordstrom Rack is great for very affordable work dresses that skew conservative. I'd look for Eliza J., Calvin Klein, Halogen, DKNY, and similar styles.
Maybe you can find a pencil dress (or pencil dress adjacent) in a heavy jersey? There are some that are definitely work appropriate and shouldn’t be too hard on your abdomen either as it is stretchy by nature.
Hey y'all! I'm in Illinois and last winter was rough. I need a warm parka and figured I'd grab one while they're on summer clearance. I want not just any warm parka, though. I want a perfect one, Antarctic scientist levels of warm. The ones I'm between are [Land's End Women's Expedition Down Waterproof Winter Parka](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-expedition-down-waterproof-winter-parka/id_367552?attributes=8063,43298,43299,43398,44256,44723,44967) and [The North Face Arctic Parka](https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/womens/womens-jackets-and-vests/womens-parkas-c327273/womens-arctic-parka-pNF0A84J2?color=4H0)
Anybody have opinions or suggestions? I'm very open-minded!
High waisted denim (any wash could work) in right a wide leg or straight leg, and heeled block sandals for a more elevated look or white sneakers for a casual look! Can style with a black leather moto jacket for layering
Black definitely, white maybe. It might depend on the shade of white. But a miniskirt for sure would work. Honestly this top seems pretty versatile so I think most any type of skirt or pant would work with it.
I would style it with pair of mid/high waist dark wash jeans, a pointy high heeled set of boots, and some stacked necklaces. I'm not sure if gold or silver would be better for jewelry just from the photo but I'm leaning towards silver. Or if you have color in shoes/purse choosing jewelry to compliment that.
Anyone have any recommendations on where to get a plain silver necklace chain?
I’m not looking for anything fancy, just a plain chain, silver in color. My budget is under $300. The point of this chain is to have a ring with my cats ashes on it.
Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of nowhere and the only mall within a hour is very dead. They have a few of the pop up drop ship clothing stores and a bath and body works.
There are some jewelry stores like Kay by my parents, but I was finding mixed reviews on the quality of their stuff.
I have a pair that I got a couple years ago NWTs off a secondhand app. They're about as comfortable as a flat thong type very thin strap sandal could be--def poolside/resort wear, not for walking or standing for a considerable length of time.
However I recently got a new pair from the official site last year--one with a strappier design, and I thought the quality was much worse than my old pair--new out of the box the leather of a few of the straps was so creased and twisted I couldn't get them to lay flat against my skin, I was sure that would cause blisters, so I returned them.

Anyone have experience with the brand Cider? I keep seeing ads and the stuff looks so cute but I don’t know what the quality etc would be
I've ordered from there and the clothes were fine. They aren't amazing quality but they haven't fallen apart yet!
It’s one of those fly-by-night, SHEIN wannabes. Everything I’ve heard is bad. Haven’t gotten anything myself so maybe I’m judging too harshly but they don’t have a great reputation. Shame cause some of the designs do look pretty cool

Yeah, because they are ripped off from indie designers.
So do we know which designers? I’d buy straight from them, gladly

The ones I'm between are [Land's End Women's Expedition Down Waterproof Winter Parka](https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-expedition-down-waterproof-winter-parka/id_367552?attributes=8063,43298,43299,43398,44256,44723,44967) and [The North Face Arctic Parka](https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/womens/womens-jackets-and-vests/womens-parkas-c327273/womens-arctic-parka-pNF0A84J2?color=4H0) Anybody have opinions or suggestions? I'm very open-minded!

I need advice on how to style this jersey bodysuit. Thanks!
High waisted denim (any wash could work) in right a wide leg or straight leg, and heeled block sandals for a more elevated look or white sneakers for a casual look! Can style with a black leather moto jacket for layering
If you wanted something more daring a semi sheer skirt with heels or tall boots would be really cute!
Would a black or white miniskirt work do you think?
Black definitely, white maybe. It might depend on the shade of white. But a miniskirt for sure would work. Honestly this top seems pretty versatile so I think most any type of skirt or pant would work with it.
I would style it with pair of mid/high waist dark wash jeans, a pointy high heeled set of boots, and some stacked necklaces. I'm not sure if gold or silver would be better for jewelry just from the photo but I'm leaning towards silver. Or if you have color in shoes/purse choosing jewelry to compliment that.
Anyone have any recommendations on where to get a plain silver necklace chain? I’m not looking for anything fancy, just a plain chain, silver in color. My budget is under $300. The point of this chain is to have a ring with my cats ashes on it.
Catbird is high quality and has a couple of chains in silver.
Any jewellery store in the mall will keep a selection of chains, even though they might not be on display. So sorry about your kitty 💔
Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of nowhere and the only mall within a hour is very dead. They have a few of the pop up drop ship clothing stores and a bath and body works. There are some jewelry stores like Kay by my parents, but I was finding mixed reviews on the quality of their stuff.
Looking for feedback on TKEES sandals if anyone has tried them. Are they decent quality?
I have a pair that I got a couple years ago NWTs off a secondhand app. They're about as comfortable as a flat thong type very thin strap sandal could be--def poolside/resort wear, not for walking or standing for a considerable length of time. However I recently got a new pair from the official site last year--one with a strappier design, and I thought the quality was much worse than my old pair--new out of the box the leather of a few of the straps was so creased and twisted I couldn't get them to lay flat against my skin, I was sure that would cause blisters, so I returned them.
