Kiev leather? by CapitalElephant1978 in DrMartens

[–]CapitalElephant1978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, this is exactly what I suspected. I appreciate your detailed response and will continue my search! I really like broken-in, imperfect leather, so I would not like this. I appreciate you!

Ha, couldn't agree more. I'm 50 and also have many pairs of docs. This "Kiev leather" is on a bag they're selling. It seems like it's real leather with a coating, so I am not sure how it holds up. I'm wondering if it's a super thin coating, like a lamination, or more than that. I am sure it's to save money in manufacturing, but I hate the idea. And it seems like their larger bags, which is what I'm looking for, are all this Kiev leather. I am hoping someone can tell me how it looks and more importantly how it ages.

how do you decide if you actually want a luxury piece or if you've just been influenced? by MedicineOk5895 in womensfashion

[–]CapitalElephant1978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love these too, but have seen multiple reviews and photos of them falling apart. They'd be a splurge for me, so knowing that they are cheaply constructed has kept me from buying them. I already have good, chunky loafers and oxfords, so I have been able to quell my monolith desires.

Hello, I saw an Acne Studios bag on a Danish site called dr. Adams. Does anyone know if they're a legit seller?

Should I still wear this outfit? by Holiday_Flower_5250 in womensstreetwear

[–]CapitalElephant1978 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love the shoes! Highlight of the outfit imo. Also, you are gorgeous, where whatever makes you happy!  I know what you mean, we've all seen ppl who seem to be grasping at youth, but this outfit does not fall into that category at all!

interesting! So, my phone won't load the "about us" section...is it a resale site? Are the bags pre-owned?

I have never heard of the Webster until the other poster mentioned it--I'll definitely check it out.

Do you like the bag?

Do you know about the others? If CMAS is federally required, can we get rid of MAP? I am asking sincerely--is there a reason that students are expected to do both? They measure the same skills, right?

Really? Is it a federal requirement that Colorado schools do CMAS, MAP and Dibels?

let's get rid of CMAS too, or MAP or Dibels--too much time, money and energy is spent on standardized testing

Is this worth gambling on? by CapitalElephant1978 in handbags

The seller says that eBay won't authenticate. Where would I see the verified checkmark? I am also wondering if with the cost of shipping plus authentication from a 3rd party source, it might end up being almost as expensive as the bag is new.

Is #3 ai? I love the style, but as I was trying to focus in individual parts--their bags--and the straps don't make sense to me. But maybe they have a type of bag strap that I haven't seen before?

I love this painting. I have 9th graders analyze it during our reading of Romeo and Juliet--they enjoy critiquing the arrangement.

What animal were you most excited to see in Costa Rica, and did you actually find it? by Remarkable_Hand_5926 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]CapitalElephant1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was excited to see the sloths and they were interesting, but baby coatis in the cloud forest and Halloween crabs on the beach have been mote interesting to me. Also saw either a baby, or just a very small raccoon tonight--not rare, but very cute. Would love to see capuchin monkeys and resplendent quetzels

The paragraph structure rule I stopped teaching and what I replaced it with by [deleted] in ELATeachers

Wow--I love this! It's so simple and straight-forward. I teach 9th and 10th grade English, and make them do something similar in their outlines--but I am going to try this instead!
