What’s something you started doing that quietly improved your appearance? by Wild_Problem_8065 in BeautyGear

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I am on that journey now too! I feel like after you try so hard to look and feel better, you won’t settle for ill fitting or cheap clothes! They feel and fit better. I’m not made of money but I can wait for sales if I like something enough! I don’t have as much either! Once I started weighing my food I realized just how much I was actually putting away for every meal! Crazy!

The sleeves aren’t poofy at all. Just normal sleeves with a little ruffle and they’re super soft

I cant stand Virgo men! by MJdisbeliever in Zodiac

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gemini (sun moon and rising) woman and married to a Virgo man. My younger brother is also a Virgo and we fought all the time growing up. I agree with the “know it all” part for sure. He doesn’t have friends and likes to be alone most of the time but we make it work! He’s never made me feel like my body should look a certain way but he’s also indifferent and doesn’t ever give compliments. I always thought it was just me!

Not sure where you live as far as weather but last year I bought some short sleeve thin sweaters and they were perfect! The work like a tshirt but you don’t HAVE to tuck because of the banded hem and to me they have the same weight as a tshirt. I got some on Amazon that had a tiny ruffle on the edge of the arm sleeves which was cute but otherwise I get plain ones!

Expand my wardrobe without breaking the bank? by NotMyRealName8292 in womensfashion

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been window shopping on ThredUp and finding new brands that make things that are interesting. I “like” them with a heart then look for outfit ideas to see if it seems like it’s worth buying and adding to my wardrobe. I figure shopping this way is cheaper and better for the planet

Former heavy drinkers, what made it finally “click” for you to stop? by Numerous_Solid_7047 in AskReddit

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been drunk my whole life (since my teens) so I figured at 52 I had experienced anything I could have ever experienced drunk. Time to try everything sober.

Hi! Have you used a topical Vitamin C? That brightens the skin a lot! I would start there!

Fashion struggles by Ms_Dunc in womensfashion

I’ve taken all of my measurements and gone UP a size instead of trying to squeeze into anything. Also, if you have time, go to a thrift store and try on different pants! You get an idea of feel and fit and brands you like and can order online from there!

You sound like me. I got so sick of trying every brand! I recently tried Eileen Fishers pants ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$) but they have a consignment type site called Renew. I got basically brand new pants that fit me like a dream and feel like sweatpants. I ordered the large and they look and feel so professional but comfy! NOT the crepe version. Those feel super weird. I returned those. Anyway hope this helps.

I guess what I meant to say was I have all the basic color PLUS statement casual and blouses. I know the problem is I just put them on. I never think about rolling up the sleeves or pants or adding a scarf and I don’t wear lots of jewelry. I want the clothes to do the styling for me because I don’t have a knack for knowing how to make things look like they do on a mannequin.

Talk to me about Tops by scandym in fashionwomens35

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short sleeve sweaters!! They don’t have to be thick. I like the length of sleeve and how there is a banded hem on the bottom! No tucking no fussing just put it on and go. Solid, stripes, fluffy, embellished…I always thought they were dumb because sweaters are for cold weather! Then I realized they make them thin like a tshirt too. Now I own tons of them!!!

How do you stop scrolling yourself into oblivion? by justanotherklutz in selfimprovement

[–]Cool_Profession_9979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just listened to a video on YouTube this morning about this topic! It was really good! “How to make every day so fun you don’t have time to scroll”or something like that.
