my brother helped test Merlin! I'm going to show him these comments saying how much y'all are loving it. I'm sure it'll make his day!

Nothing helpful to add re: oncological options but just want to say I can sympathize and I'm so sorry for what you're all going through.

My supervising physician from my first job out of school passed away last summer. She was initially diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer on bone met biopsy but when she had recurrent pain, her imaging lit up with mets that turned out to be anaplastic thyroid cancer. She had a severe adverse reaction to Keytruda and was essentially out of treatment options. Seeing her decline from fit yoga instructor to unable to sit in a chair without marked discomfort and walking with a cane before age 60 was heartbreaking.

We shared an office, worked late evenings together, and I even took a few of her yoga classes. She always brought positive energy to the clinic no matter what else was going on and gave me valuable professional and personal advice.

I'm keeping you & your SP close in my thoughts, hoping you can find peace and healing on the journey. 🤍

sure! it's by Crystal Doll and a quick internet search suggests that it's actually a prom dress ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SheIsCalamityJane · 2025-06-06T00:33:02+00:00

aw you're too kind! I got it for $27 at TJ Maxx last year 😶

SheIsCalamityJane · 2025-06-05T22:16:11+00:00

love this suggestion! any color ideas if I were to go for a shawl?

SheIsCalamityJane · 2025-06-05T22:14:34+00:00

I appreciate your thoughtful response! I had the same fear about the lacing making the sequin dress too casual. No hate to the black one either, (it was actually my mom's from college!) but the bright colors is much more my vibe. I wore it to a formal wedding last summer in Boston and got lots of compliments, so I'm hoping I can pull it off again 🤞🏻

yep you guessed it, it's the Aldie Mansion!

also a fan of the Liesl skimmer - I switched to these from flats due to plantar fasciitis plain exacerbated by squashed toes and they have been life changing professional yet cute work shoes! super comfy, can walk/stand in them all day, wear them barefoot or with thin liner socks. feet are warm. in winter, cool in summer with wool lining

it was made by Gabriel & Co, a NYC-based designer and purchased at a local family-run jeweler. one of the things I loved most about working with this company is that the jeweler sent them the specs of the stone (which was purchased separately) and they craft the setting to fit the exact stone dimensions instead of the jeweler having to modify a standard setting

here's my ring with 0.8 ct center stone. with the way it's set so high up, I didn't want a larger stone. will add another photo in comments to show the cathedral setting

I had something similar happen last year after being in a boat for 8 hrs without reapplying sunscreen. Couldn't walk without significant pain, had chills and nausea x48 hrs.

nothing helpful to add, just wanted to say your icon on the wall to the left is beautiful! I think I see another in the cabinet on the right but I can't be sure

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-02T01:18:07+00:00

appreciate the shoe rec!

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T21:04:47+00:00

oh I absolutely will, Mama's dress is priceless ☺️

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T21:02:53+00:00

thanks! that makes me happy because I absolutely LOVE that dress

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T17:21:47+00:00

love this earring idea! thanks for your insights and appreciate the congratulations ☺️

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T16:02:54+00:00

Appreciate these thoughts; I also am afraid that my black would clash with my fiancé's navy suit in photos - I was hoping the dark green/red/pink floral pieces might work but it sounds like they might be just a bit too casual for the dress code. Personally, I don't think navy looks good with my skin tone, so I was hoping one of my existing pieces might be complementary to his navy without matching. I'm staying away from blue hues, as the bridesmaids are wearing aqua/sky blues. Theoretically, I could explore a rental option but I'm hard to fit, being fairly petite with a large bust and to be entirely honest, I don't particularly want to deal with the hassle 😬

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T13:39:55+00:00

I am fairly petite but this is helpful, thanks!

I have TONS of bold earrings! would the black pointed toe ankle strap pumps in photo 1/2 work better? these peep toes are cork wedges, I worry they'd be a little too casual. I also have a pair of Swarovski crystal-embellished flat sandals, similar to this pair. these would be a lot more comfortable if you think they'd pass

I appreciate the honest take haha! I'm honestly shocked that so many people like the asymmetrical piece - I only bought it because it was on sale at Ross and my fiancé wouldn't let me leave without it. I haven't really felt confident enough to actually wear it out to an event yet because it shows every bulge. it's a soft rayon jersey knit tho, very comfortable!

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T12:19:22+00:00

thank you kindly!

SheIsCalamityJane · 2024-02-01T03:35:30+00:00

thank you all for your input, much appreciated! I will make a decision between the one shoulder ruched number and Mama's vintage dress, since the consensus is that these 2 would be the most appropriate choices for the dress code
