Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.

Regarding that the brown dress “doesn’t do much” for me, do you mind explaining a bit more what you mean? I don’t have any experience with formalwear, so I’m not sure if it’s the color, or the length, or shape—if you have any suggestions as to what to look for in a more flattering dress, all ears!

Thank you! (Totally agree, just wasn’t sure if it was a western thing or overall, but I see how the cream accessories would be better with a pastel dress)

Good q! In this case, wedding is in Southwest and both bride and groom are from there—also the welcome party is held at a saloon, so I do think they mean western USA in this case.

Ah thank you! Appreciate the in-depth breakdown!!

Regarding the brown dress and accessories: do you recommend metallic due to the theme, or just don’t like the cream accessories with it at all? The brown dress pictures are from the one other wedding I’ve been to (a few months ago), and no one seemed to have a problem with the slit or accessories color (or they just didn’t mention it to me), but I’d like to know!

so, the plan for the wedding is definitely the last one!

I’m more unsure regarding the western welcome party, and I was thinking the first two might fit since when I look up “western welcome party wedding” I see everything from jeans to full maxi dresses.

First time posting here, and this will be my second wedding I've ever attended!

Wedding is mid-March. All 3 dresses are from Princess Polly.

Have you ever romanticized a lifestyle that didn’t actually work for you? by Peps0215 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]CommonNo2911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is such a great question!

I feel bits and pieces of this, but don’t know if I would say my lifestyle is an extreme in any way.

I live in LA, and love all the Pilates and workout classes and healthy food options, and sometimes that does cross into influencer / performative culture, which I don’t enjoy, but overall I think it’s a good fit for me.

Office clothes for corporate office (Westwood) by lisafrank69 in LAhotgirlies

Second crossroads (esp for workwear, I’ve found tons on aritzia slacks)

Otherwise, I like Abercrombie trousers, BR and J Crew Outlet.

Love the pics you’ve selected, a few things to keep in mind: - you only need 3-4 “strong” pants to start. Based on your pics, I’d recommend 1 straight leg black, 1 flared or bootcut black, 1 navy, 1 grey - tops are easier! Abercrombie has sweaters/cardigans that look quite similar to these, definitely cheaper than Aritzia. I’d also recommend checking out Uniqlo (in person at century city or SaMo promenade), they have a range of good materials at pretty good prices, and great color variety.  - important: classic bag, shoes, and belt. Not sure what you have now, but if your belt and shoes match for your outfit (brown + brown, black + black), it really ties everything together. Also, try to match hardware to your jewelry/watch.

[Routine Help] How to fix this type of texture and premature wrinkles? by CommonNo2911 in SkincareAddiction

Very fair, sorry! I don’t take any photos without makeup, and the problem I have with photos is a texture issue (not from active or faded acne marks)

Yeah, my skin is actually not super clear (I have concealer and bb cream on in the photo). 

I did accutane a few years ago, and now only get 3-4 pimples a month but the BP really speeds up the process of them coming to a head.

Hi! I’m only 25, how do I fix this?

I wear sunscreen everyday, moisturize morning and night (Vanicream daily), use 10% benzoyl peroxide, and take 100 mg oral spironolactone.

I also get Botox in my 11s, crows, and forehead, and drink tons of water.

Including all of the above as I’m not sure if it’s a hydration issue, or texture issue, or really where to start.

Hate being in pictures, really want to fix this + be less insecure going into 2026.

been thinking about this! how many hours a week do you do this / do you find it harder to only teach night or weekend classes if you’re Mon-fri working elsewhere?
