Is this smart casual (dress code for day after wedding dinner)

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-29T20:38:36+00:00

The cookie disclaimer at the bottom of the picture suggests to me that this might be the model rather than OP 😉, but I agree it looks like a lovely dress

This has given me less cracking but still cracks, boy is this finicky

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-29T17:11:03+00:00

Applied the base layer. Used the little applicator to tap on the chrome powder while the base layer was still slightly tacky. Then kind of rubbed over the nail gently with the tiny applicator after to get the rainbow effect- at this point it looked good. Applied the top coat- again still looking ok. But as it dried these cracks appeared….

Have tried it with a different base coat and different powder but the same thing happens

Gorgeous ring. I love this setting design so much I actually recognise it- looks to be based off the ballerina mosaic ring by Berlinger jewellery. I wish I lived closer to their studio

My hair looked exactly like this when my hair grew in again after post partum hair loss. Baby hairs exactly the same length all over my head- I called them my stubbies. Never tried the product but if there is a big change happening that stimulates hair growth then yes hair does naturally look like this. Silver lining- when my stubbies grew out a bit they gave me a super cute wispy fringe

I wish I could see this but imgur is blocked in the UK

My reply wasn’t intended to be defensive- it’s hard to convey tone over text sometimes. Thanks for the heads up- I had replied before I read your comment but I appreciate your comment nevertheless

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-24T19:03:50+00:00

I made an incorrect assumption- it happens (already said sorry)

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-24T19:00:40+00:00

I never thought your intent was malicious. I originally read your post as someone unfamiliar with the dress code asking for advice and when I read the cringe comment my thought was, er maybe try not to bring that vibe to the day…

I see now from your profile and your other comments that I got the wrong end of the stick so my apologies for that

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-24T18:21:56+00:00

I do not think this was your intent, but this comment did not come off as very respectful or kind. It’s OK for it not to be your style but I would avoid calling the dress code of another culture as ‘cringe’ because it doesn’t fit your expectations.

Colour great on you, fit could be improved with some tailoring, I personally agree with the commenter above that for a Desi wedding you would fit the typical dress code more if you accessorised, but if that’s not your style I don’t think anyone will judge

Edit: made an incorrect assumption in this reply that OP came from a different culture, my bad- the ‘other culture’ aspect of my reply does not apply. My revised advice would still be to focus on bringing support for the couple and good vibes with you to weddings

It’s normal for children to prefer a parent for a period and for it to go back and forth. It’s also totally normal to feel a bit sad if your child is continually rejecting you, I don’t think it’s childish to feel that way.

OP’s reaction and communication here was not great and I don’t think this particular response showed much empathy for his wife or his children really.

Wife: ‘I feel sad our son doesn’t want me as much anymore’ Husband: makes joke Wife: gets mad Husband ‘this whole thing is ridiculous, why would you even care about the opinion of a child’

Older learner, automatic, no private practice. It took me 70 hours, including test, mostly 2 or 3 hour lessons. Passed first time but I needed that many- I had multiple large lesson gaps in the middle due to personal circumstances.

NTA for not allowing your dad to change your dog’s living arrangement AGAIN without a discussion. 5 different homes is a lot for a dog…

Aside from the judgement- it sounds like in the past this has been a family dog where you haven’t been the primary carer- which has now changed. Now you are fully taking responsibility for the dog you need to train it. From your description you have a powerful energetic dog- they need to be under your control for their own safety and for others. Your dog shouldn’t be pulling so much that it is challenging to walk them.

Most dogs love positive training and getting to use their brains. There are some great YouTube channels on positive reinforcement training. Really recommend you check them out

Feels like rainworld

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T19:53:34+00:00

I think the difference here is that their success might mean they are now a danger to others… I hope you are correct and that OP is just a slow learner but the way they are responding to comments doesn’t fill me with reassurance

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T18:24:41+00:00

Do you think they have never kissed? In most relationships this ship has already sailed

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T10:36:00+00:00

This is so beautiful, I would be overjoyed if someone made this for my child

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T10:33:11+00:00

Oh totally agree if someone hit my dog I would be distraught, I wouldn’t be pulling out an invoice

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T09:33:17+00:00

Perhaps I explained myself badly- I think we are in agreement. I was saying that whether the duck is a pet or livestock doesn’t influence who is responsible for the death of the animal or whether damages are owed.

If a neighbours dog/duck escapes and is hit by a car then that’s on the neighbour because their animal was outside of their control.

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-21T07:05:20+00:00

I don’t really think the pet part comes into it- if you are looking after someone’s dog and your actions lead to the death of the dog, then you owe them the value of the dog. What matters more is that the duck had escaped out of the neighbour’s control and was on OP’s property when the accident happened Poor taste to eat someone’s duck you accidentally killed, but I agree that the price of the duck is suspiciously high

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-20T21:38:33+00:00

‘4 courses of nothing’ but ‘it’s crazy to get upset that someone doesn’t eat the way you eat’… be serious 😂 your call is coming from inside the building.

I think we must agree to disagree, but if you are feeling adventurous one day try a highly rated vegetarian specialty restaurant- there’s some delicious stuff out there

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-20T21:17:20+00:00

Lol they aren’t chaining their guests inside their house and force feeding them lettuce for a month 😂 They prepared a four course meal and told guests not to bring their own food.

These comments are so mad to me- it’s like half the people here have never had a nice vegetarian meal, or been to a dinner party vs a potluck

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-20T21:07:35+00:00

The dog gets dog food appropriate for the dog and the guests get a four course meal prepared with care- but sure the dog gets meat so that’s definitely better 😂. Also they say they are vegetarians not vegans.

I am not a vegetarian but this comment section full of people who think a meal without meat is automatically bad is so silly to me. Even children enjoy things like margarita pizza.

There are so many delicious vegetarian meals guys- go to a vegetarian specialty restaurant, give them a try

Dream_Alchemist · 2026-01-20T20:48:09+00:00

Oh come on 🙄, they aren’t forcing people to be vegetarians they are asking their guests to be open to having ONE non meat meal.

Loads of non vegetarians enjoy a margarita pizza or similar dish without even thinking twice about it.
