  • I still rock a wallet chain (and I made the chain myself!).

    And I agree with the person who mentioned unisex things like Doc Martens, Chucks, and flannels - those are pretty much staples for me.

    The one thing I can't do but really wish I could is men's cuts of clothing. I'm only 5'0" and have a pretty aggressive hourglass shape, plus weightlifting has given me big glutes, hams, quads, shoulders, and biceps, so it's really easy for clothes to make me look dumpy and stout if they're baggy at all. In men's clothes if something fits in the chest and hips it's gonna be super baggy in the midsection, and make me look chunky. So even though I have about 5-8 vanity pounds I'd like to lose, mostly in my lower belly, I try to stick to more fitted clothes because at least those don't make me look heavier than I am.

  • This is perhaps dumb, but I'm going to a bridal shower for a woman who I used to live next door to and babysat as a little girl in the '90s. She was too young when we moved away to remember me, but she's grown up hearing all about me, my mom, and my sister, so I guess she wanted to invite us to her shower? It's surprising but sweet. Other than the bride and her mom, I won't know anyone there except my own mom (my sister can't make it). A gathering of strangers is pretty far out of my comfort zone, plus I'll be wearing a dress (which I normally don't do), but I'm determined to be charming and not awkward, and to have a nice time. So that's what I will be doing well this week.

    A nice side effect is that it gives me an excuse to have my hair color touched up and get a pedi, so no complaints there!

  • You can consider it a filter. Anyone who can't understand you not drinking on a first date probably isn't compatible with you. Not because of their drinking preferences but because of their unwillingness to respect your choices.

  • I had my phone in greyscale mode (and admittedly I'm a little high) and I thought "oh I bet that bathroom's gorgeous in color" because I took your comment for serious and didn't see the thumbnail very clearly ANYWAY lemme tell ya the disappointment when I took my phone off greyscale mode....

    you got me good
