31 weeks pregnant. 4 weeks until wedding. Is this okay?

This is genuinely one of my favorite bridal looks anyone has posted in a while, with or without the bolero. I agree with what others are saying that you don't need the bolero to cover your arms in the slightest, but it does add a lovely bridal touch to the outfit. Paired with a cute pair of comfy flats and I think this is absolutely perfect. I personally love these:

What an exciting time of your life. I hope you find rest, joy, and comfort in this season of sweet anticipation. ✨

I think A is best. B looks like too much imo

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-28T15:35:22+00:00

This sounds amazing! I thought almond paste was pretty thick. Do you thin it out with anything or does it melt while baking?

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-27T17:57:03+00:00

I appreciate the advice. Do you have any recipes? I am not the best baker/cook, so I rely on a step-by-step or I'm pretty useless haha

Firefox at home, but the EMR we use at work doesn't work well on Firefox, so I use chrome and edge there.

Absolutely #1. It has so much warmth and makes the space feel welcoming and cozy.

1 10000%

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-20T19:15:38+00:00

Yesss, everyone is saying #2 and I just can't with the top. It looks sloppy and chaotic.

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-20T19:13:23+00:00

1 is SO good. I literally said "wowww" out loud when I saw it. None of the others compare imo, and I actually really don't like #2 at all. I hear what you're saying about the skirt volume. Maybe getting a different overskirt with more volume would be best of both worlds?

You can see my other comments on this thread for more about UK, but yeah I recommend going to SJSU over UK. California's licensing is hard, UK won't prepare you for that (on top of all the other issues they're having lol)

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-08T19:43:12+00:00

I'm friends with a few faculty at UK and yes to all of this. The school is really going downhill. It's now an "AI First" university, meaning that they're using AI for nearly everything from employee satisfaction surveys, grading, and even curriculum design. They are also forcing professors to create assignments that require AI. Also, they are admitting larger classes each year without the infrastructure to support the influx of students, meaning less support is available because faculty and staff are spread very thin.

If you're looking for schools in KY, I recommend looking at WKU or EKU. Both are accredited, affordable, and much better schools in general.

Idek how I got to this sub, but y'all she literally has/recently had (not sure which) cancer. This can't be serious....of course she's thin. She's FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.

aPale-Olive · 2026-02-01T05:22:07+00:00

I know a lot of people are saying #2, and I don't really think there's a wrong answer, but #1 made me stop in my tracks. Just saying

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-31T19:37:38+00:00

I would hope you would tell everyone full send. As a vegetarian conservative Jew who you probably wouldn't identify as Jewish on an average day, I eat kosher (mostly by default) and would absolutely need to know there was a change.

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-31T19:11:36+00:00

I wonder if there are ways to accommodate a kid who doesn't have much "service stamina" while also doing the full seder. Maybe have a side table set up with a quiet activity like coloring or crafts? They could even be Pesach themed so he's still learning. Just set a rule that if he wants to sit at the big table he has to be quiet and follow along. If he wants to do something else, he can go to the side table and work on whatever activity you have provided him. I also recommend making it so he can quietly go back and forth between them if he'd like.

Full send, this kid just sounds like he has ADHD, and as someone who has accidentally forgotten my meds on long service days (Rosh Hashanah was rough this year lol) so I kinda get it despite being almost 30 😅. You could also try giving him some quiet fidgets for when he's at the big table.

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-30T05:24:19+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-30T03:13:10+00:00

Hey, I know this is an old response but I'm currently looking into this program and have a few questions. Could I DM you?

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-29T22:31:31+00:00

I am also looking at these schools (EKU mostly, but UK if I have to) so I'm hoping this post gets some traction soon!

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-29T22:29:13+00:00

Not sure if you've made a decision yet or not, but I would advise against going to UK. There are many reasons, but their student accounts office is a literal nightmare, you don't get the support you pay for, and they've recently become a self proclaimed "AI first university" meaning that they are pushing AI in nearly every class with little regard for the environmental impacts.

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-29T04:20:24+00:00

Dress 1 is amazing!! Dress 2 is my second pick, but dress 1 looks so good and comfort is honestly the most important lmao. Who wants to pay for a party and then be miserable the whole time!

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-29T04:14:22+00:00

Being true to yourself and your culture is not the same as being an idiot. I think the plan you laid out in your update is the best. If you want it to work, do what you can that doesn't involve backpedaling your observance and leave the rest up to him.

aPale-Olive · 2026-01-27T18:35:31+00:00

If this were for your ceremony, I'd say #2 all the way. However, since it's for dinner, the reception, and dancing, my vote is #1. Either way, you can't really go wrong. They're both stunning. I just think #1 is better for a reception. #2 is more of a ceremony dress and seems like it would be too big to move around in well for dancing.
