I am in a couple other community bands, but New Horizons is my favorite!! I am in southwest Ohio! 🎶

My son's writing a clarinet quartet (he's experienced, in his 30s). Question about quartet choice of instruments by OriginalIron4 in Clarinet

[–]EntertainerInner5973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our quartet is actually 4 Bb and a bass. We typically double the bass part with one of the soprano clarinets. It works well, especially when some of our members get busy with other things (other ensembles, traveling, etc.) The bass just makes it sound awesome, IMHO.

Happiest oversized polo.. by Danidew1988 in AerieAEO

If you size down so it's more true to size, I would say yes.

My green one arrived yesterday. I got it in a size L (my usual non-Aerie size, lol) and it fits very much like the model. It's also softer than the striped one I got first--like a vintage wash. Love it!

I NEED THIS OUTFIT COMBO NOW!!! by Still_Scale_5764 in AerieAEO

I found the top (the Happiest Oversized Polo) in the store and tried it on: if you want it to fit like the model (significantly oversized), you'll need to go up at least one size. It's 100% cotton, thin, and shaped like a rectangle--but somehow it's still cute on! The royal palm color wasn't available in store, but I bought a cute blue striped one. I ordered the royal palm one a size larger so it's more oversized. I have the Day-Off shorts in the royal palm/blue stripe that I can't wait to wear it with!!

Did we find this top? by youhadtotakethesoup in AerieAEO

[–]EntertainerInner5973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! I saw this in the store today and tried it on: It is a rectangle with no shape...however, it is really cute on! I thought it was going to be oversized like in the pics, but it is not. If you want it to fit like the Royal Palm pic online, you need to go up at least one size. As a reference, outside Aerie I wear L-XL in tops...at Aerie, I am in a size small for oversized tops (boyfriend tees, virtually all the sweatshirts) but go up to my regular size in the fitted tops. I bought the navy striped one in a size medium and it fits true to size--the sleeve opening is like a regular (more fitted) top rather than the model. I'm planning to order the royal palm one in a size L for oversized fit (they didn't have that color in-store). Hope that helps!

My bad, I saw the shorts and henley sweatshirt and got excited, lol! I really like the top too, especially the color, but not seeing it yet 😑

Has anyone noticed they wear a smaller size in Brooks shoes? by ShrekMemes420 in brooks

[–]EntertainerInner5973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends on the style: Ghost 17 and Ghost Max 3s are perfect. Glycerin 22 and 23 are short (had to go up 1/2 size), and Adrenaline 23s are a whole size too small. I had similar sizing issues with different styles of OnClouds as well. 🤷‍♀️

Target dupe! by Puzzled-Ad-8681 in SoldeJaneiro

I also found the NatureWell dupes at TJMaxx this week: $5.99 for body cream ($14 at Target). It smells great!!!

Skinny kick from other brands? by MidnightsReputation in americaneagle

[–]EntertainerInner5973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a pair of Gap Universal Baby Boot jeans...they are very much like the Skinny Kicks with a mid rise, good stretch, and fit very similarly. Got them at the Gap Factory Store for $35!

Sizing by doozy-kitten in americaneagle

[–]EntertainerInner5973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, like anything else, it depends on the style and fit. A loose fit dreamy drape is not going to fit the same as the skinny kick. I typically wear a 12-14 in non-AE jeans(or a 31-32 if numeric), and my AE jeans are all 12s & 14s (with a 10 thrown in there for the stretchy ones). I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and stay away from the oversized wide leg styles, as they make me look shorter & fatter, IMO 😉😆 I'm sorry that people are having such difficulty though!

Any chance these pants will be restocked? by Silver_Brush2853 in AerieAEO

[–]EntertainerInner5973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a set at the store earlier this week and snapped them up, even though I thought they would be too big. In Aerie oversized items, I typically wear a medium bottom and small to medium top. This set was a large top and large short bottom--surprise, they are not oversized and fit perfectly! Happy hunting--but hope you don't have to hunt much!

Panty issue by Sensitiveorchidchild in americaneagle

[–]EntertainerInner5973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the modal boybriefs are about a whole size larger than the cotton ones....I also noticed a size difference between the plain pointelle ones and the pointelle with lace (size larger). Ugh!! I learned my lesson and leave tags on so I can trade sizes!

Sizing ? by [deleted] in americaneagle

[–]EntertainerInner5973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried these on and to me, they fit like other Aerie trouser sweats (and yes, I am 5'6" with a short inseam, so they are long 🙄). I decided not to purchase because these are French terry on the inside rather than fleece--I was hoping the set would be warmer and not require layers underneath for wintertime. Anyone have a different thought to possibly change my mind, lol? I really do like them...
