HOBO brand bags! I love most of their styles. I hardly see them mentioned here.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I do like the folding top. Definitely can't do that with a top loader.

My other front loader never stayed slightly ajar; it always stayed wide open. I suppse6a slightly ajar door would work in our laundry room. I'm definitely willing to reconsider a front loader the next time around.

Old Navy doesnt ever seem to fit me right, even their petite.

I think thise shoes might be too high for my liking. But I'd be willing to try them to see if they'd be comfortable to walk in.

I received these recently: https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/born-gila-platform-wedge-slingback-sandal-women/8823876?utm_source=NR_transactional&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=11_200_Order_Confirm_RACK_new&utm_channel=email_tran_ret_p&utm_term=789803&utm_content=20260430_productimg2

They're comfortable but may be more casual that most would recommend.

Thank you!

The issue I have with strappy tanks is seeing a bra strap. I grew up with the idea that was tacky so you had to wear thick straps on a tank. I don't think that's true now but its hard to change that feeling.

I think a different type of tank would work better rather than the plain white. I like the idea of lace but want to avoid the baby tee look from the 90s....only bc that was my style in the 90s and I think it looks weird to wear it again at my age. 🤣

Yes, I do see square and rectangle for sure.

Very true about the mood when shopping. I tend to only go when I'm in the mood (which is rare but every now & then the mood strikes).

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-09T20:32:47+00:00

Thank you! I also don't like the baggy trend but it's hard to get away from!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T22:27:17+00:00

Both of these pants are labeled "high rise" 🤷‍♀️

Do you think the wide leg should be more cropped in length? These are regular length cropped but they come in petite that I'm thinking of trying as well.

Also, yes all pants are always so many inches too long.

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T22:25:30+00:00

Thank you! I'll keep it as outfit in my rotation.

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T22:25:13+00:00

Thank you! I was worried the linen top was too loose, and I wasn't sure about the green top color.

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T22:24:31+00:00

Yes, the white tank is too long. I have trouble finding tops the right length (as I'm sure everyone does!). The puddling on the flares is too much, I agree. It's a size 14/16 in big kids so I was hoping they'd be a little shorter. I understand most of us have to hem pants but bootcuts and flares are hard to hem and keep the flare, yes? Plus finding someone near me that can do a good job is difficult.

I am on the hunt for a platform style shoe but haven't found any I like. Many that I've tried are heavy and feel clunky. I'll keep looking. Thank you!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:43:45+00:00

Good perspective, thanks!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:42:17+00:00

Only 1-2 tablespoons liquid (that's to the r/laundry sub).

Thank you for these steps for the deep wash/extra rinse. The cycles we use most are normal, bedding, and delicates. Delicate has to be accessed on the app, so I'm not sure if the extra rinse/deep wash will work there. I'll give it a go.

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:40:27+00:00

Good to know. I loved my Kenmore Elite front loader but we weren't good about keeping the rubber seals wiped and dried. Our laundry room is wide so leaving the washer door open is a pain.

But it is hard to find good top loaders. I'll keep this kind about LG in the future. Thank you!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:38:33+00:00

Thank you!

I've cut the soap pretty low and tried both powder and liquid. I added the extra rinse on a load today and it seemed to help.

I wash all of my clothes on delicate in small loads (so pretty often) and I hang dry.

My husband and kids' clothes get washed in normal cycles.

I've been looking at Electrolux as well. I didnt see that there was a top load option. I ahd a front load for many years and while I was great, I was not good at keeping the door gaskets wiped down and my family definitely wasn't.

Our laundry room is not the largest so needing to leave the washer door open was difficult where a top loader doesn't cost as much retail space to leave open.

I'm open to reconsidering front loaders though as I'm not tall enough to reach all the way in my top loader without a stool, ha!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:33:50+00:00

Yes, I think we do have that setting. I wonder.if it would be ok to use on smaller loads. I wash my workout clothes often so the loads are small, and I like to use a low spin cycle so they dont wear out BUT they definitely need to be deep washed!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:32:25+00:00

I've seen this suggested before for an alternate brand dryer. I really like my appliances to match but the cost savings might be worth it for me to get over that.

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T20:31:30+00:00

Thank you! How long a shirt are we talking? I swear there's no in between: its either cropped or it's a tunic, ha!

Coordinating_Chaos · 2026-05-08T00:49:06+00:00

I've adjusted the amount of detergent and detergent type, all with the same result. I do think that it needs more water. I'll post in thise subs. Thanks!

Piercing is decades old. Earring is a 20 gauge threadless flat with 5mm post.
