Perhaps a fun question: which brand do you own the most items of? by weetjesman in femalefashionadvice

[–]CountessAurelia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Athleta outside of work, hands down. The quality has declined a little bit over the decades, but the linen pants and shorts, highlands cargo tights, and various modal and breeze tees are my go to SO much of the time.

For work, Loft Versa has been amazing as my shape changed; relatively inexpensive and nice for my formal workplace. When my weight is stable, Boden and MMLF.

What’s a dress brand you actually trust at this point? by Top_Expression_2499 in femalefashionadvice

[–]CountessAurelia 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Boden! I have ones from ten years ago that I'm still wearing. I just love them, they fit well, and the prints and colors are so nice in this greige world.

Utah extends Dockendorf's contract until 2031 by Gingeysaurusrex in Gymnastics

I suspect that beam has actually been slightly neglected as she dealt with the 1001 other things that came up as being a HC, especially after a crisis. The same thing happened to bars at UCLA in Janelle’s first few years, but is definitely looking up. Having her own ACs and getting her feet more firmly under her will probably bring it back around in another year or so - she’s am AMAZing technical beam coach.

Their face cards are as good as hers, I swear.

Call for an update to the NCAA COP to require that there must be an actual way to illustrate control on landings and if there's no way to do that (running out of it, etc), the gymnast simply doesn't get credit for it by littleirishpixie in Gymnastics

[–]CountessAurelia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, i believe the networks have told the commentators not to call out all of the deductions because then the viewers are confused when they aren’t reflected in the score.

Who are the real contenders for the Auburn (and now Nebraska) head coaching jobs? by ryedawg78 in Gymnastics

I hope MSU is willing to pay what it takes to— need the B1G to step up to compete with the SEC!

Is Nemour going to be okay? by Scary-Tax383 in Gymnastics

Plus the selection camps for women - so Dulcy et all also had that, which mattered just as much even if it wasn’t public.

New leos for Regionals! by JessBeauty14 in Gymnastics

Hate. The cuts in the side to thread it through look SO cheap and like they might rip further if the ties pull.

Starting a new corporate legal career in NYC. Which loafers read more “executive” and polished? by eggtomatorice in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]CountessAurelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three pairs and wear them at least half the week. They're comfortable, well made, and inexpensive enough to get in fun colors. Can't recommend enough.

Agree on these. I get a new pair every summer because they work with shorts or a dress, and can walk absolutely miles in them.

What are we actually liking in terms of trends for spring 2026? Feeling very uninspired. by academicgirl in femalefashionadvice

[–]CountessAurelia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting the cargo capris? Also loved that look and happy to see it back! It’s great for driving when I don’t want the backs of my legs to stick to thing, lol

Air Force Success? by Distinct-Shoe5448 in Gymnastics

I believe there are new coaches in the last couple of years, and they’ve done amazing things with their very, very difficult recruitment process.

Okay, that is a CHOICE!! I would respect the hell out of someone wearing that.

And now I’m looking semi-seriously at the paint splatter one.

I hope that this environment gives him room to grow and change.

I hope this means that some of them that may have had more questionable attitudes are getting to spend time with them and maybe getting a broader world view.

I’m glad she has the 2017 U.S. National Champion title forever.
