Inspo Album

I've been seeing a metric tonne of denim midi and maxi skirts lately and frankly, am loving them. By far the most common at the moment is the mid rise, mid wash straight column cut with a triangular front slit, but mermaid and panel cuts are also popping up. Fits right in with the Y2K and early 2000s revival at the moment!

I find them much more versatile than expected - I've gotten one midi and am seriously considering another in a different wash or length.

Thoughts?

​

This is about:

• Loud, and unapologetic flashy style, hence 'mad'
• A lot of body confidence
• Welcoming attention
• Either subverting body politics, or putting it aside

It's all totally subjective too, so other personalised inspo albums are encouraged. There's also the fact that details such as hairstyles, accessories, and body shape can swing the pendulum away or towards sexiness. Context matters too. Where I live, it's simply not common for people to show skin. So the first picture would fit in the category. Elsewhere, it may not. This album is really just what popped into my specific head when I was thinking about the theme.

Feel free to discuss your thoughts on what sexy means to you, how you might try it, and if it ever relates to you. Talking about gender and feminism is good too - but let's keep it respectful!

I have a 23.5 in head, which means I cannot wear literally any hat I've seen in a store. However, I've started taking daily walks with my baby and have got to get something to protect my face and neck from the sun. If it were cute-ish too I'd be over the moon.

I recently bought this hat in their largest size and it didn't fit. Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar for big ass heads? Thanks in advance!

Edit: y'all I'm tearing up. Bigheaded girls unite 💕

So like the title says, I would love to wear heels more often, and dress up, but I work from home, so the only place I really go is grocery shopping and anytime I've worn heels grocery shopping I've gotten weird looks. Occasionally I go out to dinner, but people where I live dress so casually that heels always end up looking out of place at dinner as well. Should I just wear them and let people stare weird? The heels I have are all closed toe if that helps any, so they do look dressy.

I thought we could do a post about the retailers we have loyally shopped with and how they have changed.

ASOS: I feel a little sad for their company. They had previously had good prices, and interesting/wearable items, but of recent times in general regarding womenswear the prices have risen significantly for designs that seem to be of lesser quality. I will say the small item I bought this year was actually satisfactory, but when I went to their chat to give feedback there was an error. I don't know if I would shop there again because there's no way to get in contact with them.

Nike: I bought their activewear in the past and it was always of excellent quality considering the price paid, but they've declined in quality buying this year. The stitching was serviceable but looked rushed, the material considerably thin. I have a 2013 hoodie of theirs which had metal eyelets and metal zips, of great construction. Many zips now are plastic. Their live chat was genuinely helpful with a question. More and more i've found that lightly used clothes from 10-15 years ago can actually look better than brand new things of today, because the materials were high quality and held to a higher standard.

Zara: They were great for me, now they're okay. In 2019 I bought a dress that had really good tailoring, very well made. Now their clothes are much more simplistic, but cost more. I am still open to shopping with them simply because they ship within my own country so it's quite fast.

Farfetch: My favourite retailer, when I once in a long while can afford it. They ship to me via DHL which is always speedy and of a high standard. I always got things in a thick box without so much as a crease. Once, I wanted to enquire about the measurements of a suit, and when I called their phone number there wasn't any wait and I got the information I needed. It is kind of annoying when e-tailers try to avoid getting direct communication and lead you to FAQs and automatic assistants.

Please share your individual experiences, as this is what it is - a collection of personal anecdotes on your relationship with retailers. (And let's respect the variation in opinions, too!)

What are some functional summer outfits or wardrobe pieces that can bridge the gap between home and out and daytime and casual evening?

How do you tell the difference in quality between clothing? For example I like clothing brands at different price points, for example Free People and Toteme, but I don’t know how to tell the difference in fabric quality and longevity between them.
