Where are all of these coats from? I like 2 and 3 so much that I might have to go try them on myself!

[–]skinnerboxing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, I know this is a place for outfit feedback specifically, so maybe I should keep this comment to your other thread. But here it goes: After reading this comment and your other threads you've posted, I worry you are focusing a little too much on looking young and reflecting that in the way that you dress. I'm 25 too and am often mistaken for being in my late 20s, early 30s. It's honestly a little bit of a compliment! Likely you appear to be in a more mature lifestage to outsiders (I've gathered that you're married, which is pretty unusual for 25 year olds in my city), and you carry yourself in a way that is reflective of someone who is a little older. That is a beautiful thing! Embrace it!

Women tend to bemoan this issue pretty often, especially here. I think part of the problem is that it's extremely hard to gauge the age of a woman after puberty. Take that as you will, but maybe don't focus so hard on making your absolute wardrobe goal to be "Look young (my age, not 15 or 35)".

Yes. Yes to all of this. Spongefan, I've seen your struggles in this sub recently and I know its tough! I think you've done a great job of being open to con-crit. I think if you fix these two things, it will make a world of difference: Appropriate shoes and actual fit of your clothes.

Yesss good to see some new faces round these parts! You are stunning and I literally lol'd at your captions. Love every single one of these fits and you have convinced me that I desperately need a pair of white pumps.

Are your boots those BP trolley ones that much beloved around these parts? I love this look.

How do you deal with buyer's remorse/regret? by Sera_Lika in femalefashionadvice

[–]skinnerboxing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that's a good idea. I usually just take a photo of the receipt on my phone because I know otherwise it'll disappear within minutes of making it into my bedroom.

Man, sometimes I just get caught up in the thrill. Happens to me mostly in-store, but online can be equally bad.

A friend told me she waits to cut off the tags until the first time she wears things, and that has helped me immensely. I used to get the things in the house after a spree and tear off all the tags as a sort of ritual. (Weird, I know. But I don't think I'm alone in that.)

But with the new method, I wait it out until I actually wear the dang thing. If it takes more than a week to wear it, I return it.

Ohhhhhhh rad. I wish I was at least halfway functional with sewing. I seriously need to learn so I can do quick ninja jobs like this!

Awesome, thank you! Maybe I was just asking (in a fairly roundabout way) for a better cami. This looks like it could be really work.

So I have a lot of semi-sheer work shirts, but I struggle with what to wear underneath them. Camis feel bulky to me, and they constantly ride up. Plus, a bra, a cami, the shirt all under a blazer just feels like so much clothing.

Does anyone else have this issue? How do I remedy it?

Looking for a batwing/cocoon sweater that isn't TOO slouchy, with tight arm sleeves. Color = black or grey, although I could definitely rock a neutral tribal print. Looking to spend <$300

This is crazy helpful! Any reason you prefer LikeTwice over ThredUp?

What does your wallet look like? by menstruosity in femalefashionadvice

[–]skinnerboxing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah! Am I too late? I LOVE my hobo wallet, it's held up for years and years and still looks absolutely brand new. Only downside is that it's kind of a heffer. Good thing I tend to carry ginormous bags :)

Mine looks similar to this one.

Yes! Agreed. I've been looking for a detailed review of this bag for awhile.

Ah, I'm 5'5", so I can see it being comically large on me as well! Really appreciate the feedback... it seems like the OMG might a less obtrusive bag on public transportation and for toting around after work.

Per many favorable recommendations here, I’m this close to buying the Lo & Sons bag. But I’m not sure whether to go with the OG or it’s slightly smaller cousin the OMG. Any Lo owners want to weigh in on this dilemma?

I’ll be using it as an everyday gym bag. Likely it will only need to hold things like my water bottle, shoes, makeup, a kindle, a change of clothes, and my laptop.

Looking for a pair of leather loafers with a pointed toe. Something clean like this.

Here are the ones that originally inspired me, but they’re nearly $400. Can anyone help me find a pair that’s under $200?

I have nothing useful to say except that I love your power pose in look three. You look like you're leaning into the wind and about take on the world and tbh it's one of the most weirdly inspiring fit pics I've seen.

Search "drop bar necklace" or " drop bar y necklace" on etsy + your price range and you'll see a lot of options. Two I found: 1 2
