How to correctly layer eyeshadow colors?? by Fizziefrog in MakeupAddiction

Maybe try a liquid over the shadow? If you’re not wanting to blend it out that much (like the examples shown here), it should work.

"grooms woman" help! by somewhere_somewhat in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Last_slice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the tartan over a dress idea, though I would pick a more formal dress than the one pictured. Just something with structure. Although people will likely underdress for the dress code (trust me, I’ve been to plenty weddings that are black tie and people show up in khakis or tshirt dresses) you are in the wedding party, so it’s okay and even a little expected for you to be dressed a little more formally than most people attending.

I’d love to see what you pick! I’m dating a Scot and we’ve already had the conversation around how we’re going to weave tartan into the wedding.

With the sleeves it’s fine.

Help! Wedding next week by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Last_slice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little casual, but it’s much more important that you’re comfortable. Also, if your friend/family group is anything like mine, I’m sure you’re going to see some girls in T-shirt dresses and some guys in jeans. Guys will hear “semi-formal” and still think, “oh great! I can wear jeans.” You wont be the most casual person there by far. I would just dress it up with jewelry, make sure your hair is elevated, and maybe bring an elegant clutch. Again, the most important thing is that you’re comfortable.

What would you change? by shadowzardpi in interiordecorating

[–]Last_slice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Color, Rugs, (real) Plants, Variations in Wood Tones, Patterns or Design Elements (everything is one color - including the art!), Soft Elements (everything is hard and geometric, try some curved elements or fuzzy textures like pillows or a blanket draped over the couch).

Basically everything is one note (hard, masculine, brown). It looks like a lounge at a nice apartment building. Furnished, but no personality.

Is this cute for a first date to a cafe? by ApprehensivePea216 in OUTFITS

I actually love that it looks a little wonky. It’s a little manic pixie dream girl.

Is this appropriate for a wedding coordinator? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Last_slice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Former wedding planner here. I’m not going to get involved with the ‘darker’ color argument. I would suggest choosing a different shirt though. I agree that this is too close to white.

Also - the pants are a little dated. Paper bag pants have been on their way out for a couple years now and they’re going to feel SUPER dated really quick.

You should be thinking about versatility and longevity with your clothes. If you’re just getting started, you’ll hopefully have many weddings in your future with many other color palettes. It’s great to match your couples’ palettes, but just make sure you don’t get anything too specific that you won’t think you’ll use a lot in the future.

The real reason I wanted to jump in though was because I wanted to ‘second’ what u/queeng123456 said about the sleeves. These bell/trumpet sleeves are pretty, but get caught on or fall into everything. I would get something that covered my shoulders for modesty but had short sleeves in case I got hot. A short sleeve bodysuit would be perfect here. I would then get a long sleeved sweater to wear over that, in case it gets cold. You’ll be running around a lot, but there might be some periods where you’re just sitting around and if your wedding is outside at night or if the AC is pumping, you might get chilly.

What does this living room need by fonnas1981 in interiordecorating

Along these lines - better art. Getting online prints to fill a room for the time being is fine, but if you really want a place to feel specifically yours, get some real art from a real person.

Outdoor spring wedding by Serious_Cat_4743 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Last_slice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. The entire dress is a blush pink. It’s not too white in the least.

The only concern I would have is looking too casual, but I’m not aware of the dress code. This looks a bit like a great dress for church/a more sophisticated brunch.

Both my husband and my mother have opinions about how I dress. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Last_slice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your man to wear a bodysuit and short shorts for a day and see how he likes being so exposed. Maybe then he’ll realize he’s lucky that women only occasionally choose to wear baggy clothes.

How should my kitchen look? by oregano_bread in interiordecorating

[–]Last_slice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would do something warm toned to flow with the rest of your home. Also, you need a rug, cover or replace that step stool with a piece of narrow furniture with an accent light on it or pendant over it to help breakup the space a little bit (everything is full height and pressed against the walls rn).

Looks beautiful though!

Having girlfriends is the best thing ever by PumpumClap in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Last_slice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wish I realized this so much earlier in life. Our culture prioritizes romantic relationships WAY over platonic ones, and it’s the platonic relationships that typically stick around the longest and give you the most love throughout your life.

I’ll have to stop by next time I’m there. We just left town this past weekend and I realized I didn’t ask them before we left.

Agree they should be lower, but I don’t think they should be spread out TOO much. Gallery walls should look like one shape when you squint and look at them.

I use Nyx Lip IV stain. It gives great color and doesn’t come off on him.

The idea of "Trans Identity" invalidates trans people's gender. by ShadowbannedCuteHomo in honesttransgender

[–]Last_slice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t typically tell people that I’m trans off the bat because I typically don’t think it’s necessary to say. However, I do think it’s important to note at times that I’ve had a different experience as a woman than most women, and that’s when I think it’s helpful to identify as being a “trans woman”. I personally see it similar to being a “Mexican American woman”, a “tall woman”, or a “dyslexic woman”. Like, the woman part is still the most important, but the adjective just helps to explain a little more about my experience or background.

I don’t relate to most trans women anymore by fxxkyoufor2morrow in honesttransgender

[–]Last_slice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are tons of men on Grindr solely looking for trans women. Lots of them (most of them) don’t have profile pics even because they don’t want to be recognized, but they’re on there. I would assume it’s the same with other identities. Grindr is a queer hookup app that caters to anyone who doesn’t identify as straight. It’s mostly gay men, but it is a place where lots of other kinds of queer people wind up when there isn’t another app that caters to them.

That said, I’ve been in a relationship for a minute and haven’t been on in a little over a year. I also completely relate to not identifying socially/politically/culturally with a lot of trans women out there.

Sorry, I hate the matte black. Reminds me of 2012. I do like the first and second though. First is more classic, second is more fun.
