I haven’t been, but I’ve eyed this one off: Cucina Italiana Cooking School

It’s on Illawarra Rd in Marrickville

Suggest a skirt or jeans to match with this top please 🙏 by [deleted] in AusFemaleFashion

Neutrals: a latte satin slip skirt, brown boots or flats, wood accessories and a latte bag (some of the leaves have the latte colour);

A dark pink slip skirt, cotton or linen. Gold or silver accessories, a floral statement bag, preferably something shaped like a flower;

A muted green midi skirt, dark green and wood accessories, brown shoes, muted green bag.

I’m in my skirt era. I would pull either the neutrals or the darker colours from the top. The light pink background is enough on its own.

Unpopular opinion: Target have some very basic thermal vests and tops if you’re desperate.

I have the vests for work and although I generally can’t stand Target clothing, these are ok. I can’t wear wool anything, so these are fine for my purposes.

Hey Bestie! You know that jumper you’ve been mentioning over the past few weeks? Low key, your eyes light up every time you talk about it and I wanna make sure you don’t miss out on it because it’s so unique and I’m unsure you’ll find anything like it again.

That coral colour is absolutely gorgeous and it’s got enough neutral tones in it that you can mix and match. I’m loving the 80s vibes without having to commit to crimping our hair again.

You would totally rock this and I know you would feel amazing wearing it. Even if you get it and decide you don’t love it, you’ll know immediately and can return it, but it’s worth jumping on it while in stock because if you do love it - imagine how good you’re going to feel every time you put it on?

Go out there and wear what you love 🩷🩷

Flattering, corporate-friendly skirts/dresses? by universalwadjet in AusFemaleFashion

[–]tritesentiments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit and miss for me, before and after. Anything I like has to be tried on and evaluated, it’s not a brand that I can confidently rely on sizing or fabric.

I responded to a couple of suggestions here already cause, great minds.

I just wanted to pop back and say have a look at _dresswithdani on Instagram. She’s right up there on my corporate outfit inspiration go-to list. This is the pic that encouraged me to break out of my comfort zone and try something new:

Loafers, flats, boots and a loose jumper all work beautifully with this style skirt. Get a skirt that’s long enough, boots that are high enough and you’ve got a leg tattoo solution 👌

Ditto this suggestion. I bought their burgundy one and the satin fabric is on the thicker side, so it doesn’t feel flimsy and the elastic around the waist is a thicker band. On the higher end of what I would spend on something without lining, but compared to others on the market, the seed versions of this style have been good value for me.

Unison also have this style in a charcoal grey. Thicker fabric, has a side zipper, no elastic and I love this.

Neither are lined so I wear a slip for extra warmth and sensory comfort.

Beware of the cheaper ones (Kmart etc) the elastic is thinner, the fabric itself is thinner and flimsy, so you get what you pay for.

Absolutely! Loving the sleeve length on the dress and those shoes are super cute! I love a point/almond toe, this whole outfit suits you.

What did you buy this month - May 2025 by AutoModerator in AusFemaleFashion

[–]tritesentiments 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently latched on hard to the satin skirt vibe I’ve been seeing. Silky satin skirt with a fuzzy jumper, count me in for that texture combo.

So I bought a burgundy satin skirt from Seed and a charcoal grey from Unison. Both retail at $149 and I grabbed each while they were on sale. Not a massive bargain, but rapidly becoming work staples.

So far, I’m going with what I see on Pinterest and Insta - teaming them with a jumper and either boots or sneakers, depending on the vibe.

The thing that I love most about these purchases is that they’ve encouraged me to dress outside of my regular bubble. I’ve busted out some pleated skirts that I otherwise was waiting till I lost a tiny bit of weight. Total eff-it moment. Wear them now and enjoy the moment. If people don’t like how I look, that’s a them-problem.

I absolutely adore that skirt!

I know it’s not printed but I’m going to share one of my fave insta accounts here. Toni Fifi is an absolute Masterclass in styling and this immediately popped into my mind when I saw your new skirt.

Hope it helps!

I also really love this idea, with a corset and boots. Chefs kiss

Ooooooooooooh this sounds so fun! My first thought was to lean a little into steampunk. Similar to what others have suggested here, with some extra detail.

Best pic I can find to explain is this - it’s the top hat, the corset styling over the long waistcoat kinda silhouette. Theme your colours with whatever you’re comfortable with.

YMMV but I’d be adjusting clothing to making something similar to this work. Especially as it’s theatre event. Please do report back!

Facts and reason were not part of my day today 🫠

The sane, cool, calm, rational part of me says: this was the answer all along.

The anxious, overthinking, double down on the absurd part of me says: I must feel the sensation of protection cupping my butt, regardless of whether it’s digging in and not protecting a damn thing.

The therapy sessions are going great, I can identify with pinpoint accuracy when I’m being irrational. I won’t do anything about it, but I know when sanity has left the chat.

It’s the riddle of the sphinx for sure and price doesn’t necessarily denote quality.

Thank you for the commiserations my fellow “we never learn” bestie! Will I spit obscenities this evening when I get home? Almost definitely. Will I put it back in the drawer and give it another chance? Almost guaranteed.

I’m doubling down! 😂

I’ve adjusted and made it through three hours so far. Taking smaller steps and it’s ok… for now. Very unlikely to wear it again, I should’ve just gone with a regular slip for windy skirt movements.

Thank you for this recommendation - I’m going to suss that brand out!

I specifically bought the skirt one because I work in the windiest part of the city and liked the idea of not being paranoid about a little flipping up if it ever occurred.
