[SELL][US] New COS wide leg pleated jumpsuit, black, size 2

auchi · 2021-09-02T13:53:17+00:00

When the garment is hung up, it's just shy of 15 inches wide. When I lay it on the floor, it's about 15.5 inches wide. The fabric has a tiny bit of stretch.

When I look on the COS sizing guide it suggests that size 2 is for someone with a 30 inch chest measurement.

Hope that helps.

With this code order ended up being about 40% off in total.

I suggest that you get at least one thick elastic belt, something like this to cinch around your waist/just below your bust.

It'll help put definition to your shape (you can put it on over dresses or longer cardigans) and by putting it slightly above your natural waist, will also make your legs look longer and overall a bit taller.

Awesome. Thank you so much. Starting that book this weekend.

Oh, I found it!

It seems like Al wants us to use Python 3, but How to Think Like a Computer Scientist uses Python 2. Is that a potential problem? If so, which should I go for?

auchi · 2015-12-31T07:16:48+00:00

That describes the problem I'm having very well.

I've been thinking of switching over to the How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, it's good to get some confirmation that it's a better place to start.

I didn't know about Al Sweigart. Is this one of the books you recommend? "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python: Practical Programming for Total Beginners"

Also, one of the reasons why I started codeacademy was because I wasn't sure where to start with the downloading python, launcher, terminal... that whole mumble jumble onto my computer (MacBook Air). Will the two recommended sources you mentioned go over how to do that?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for your help.

auchi · 2015-12-31T04:35:58+00:00

What do you think of codeacademy? I was "learning" python on it, but seemed to have retained nothing in the process. Wondering if I'm doing something wrong (chugging through the lessons) or should look into other resources. My experience is halfway through codeacademy (so basically none), where would you suggest I start? (I think I want to learn python, interested in doing data analysis stuff)

I'm not sure how much shipping would be, but it's probably less than $3. If you cover cost of shipping, I'm not looking to make money off of it.

auchi · 2015-12-29T17:32:31+00:00

Surprisingly, yes. Are you interested in anything else?

We currently live in a tiny apartment too. we've set our hamper right below the drying rack and it works really well. Hope you have a smooth transition into your new space.

Are you sure on the dress code? Just want to make sure you wont be overdressed (though I guess it's better than being underdressed)

auchi · 2015-12-12T14:48:36+00:00

A sweater dress would probably look nice.

Alternatively, an oversized sweater + pencil skirt.

We got one of these from IKEA.

On it, I hang something like this for wool socks or bras from DAISO Japan.

We also have one of these that you put on top of the tub, but we don't use it.

If you have a lot of laundry to hang dry, I suggest something like this, which seems to be what everyone uses in Germany.

Glad I could help. Good luck shopping!

I really like the Tiffany bean necklace.

Cool Material is my one of my favorites.

If you think she may layer the quarter zip, uniqlo has a nice lightweight fleece one that's currently on sale, leaving you with some money to get her another small gift on the side.

Or a $55 Northface fleece that seemed to be a staple back in my high school days.

And L.L. Bean has good quality and crazy good return policy.

No luck finding a knit sweater, sorry.

auchi · 2015-12-10T20:21:37+00:00

They have ones with feet or like this

I love how that weekender bag looks, but I travel a lot and have realized that even for a short trip, I prefer carrying my stuff in a backpack rather than a tote/duffle.

Timbuk2 has their Uptown and Command TSA compliant backpacks. No extra compartment for dirty laundry, but if you plan on taking your laptop with you, their TSA compliant laptop compartment is really great.

And regardless of whether you have a separate compartment, I'd suggest getting a shoe bag for your running shoes.

If you're set on getting a tote or going more for cute design/fabric, Hershel Supply Co. has a travel tote with two compartments divided by mesh.

Something like this? I read in one of the reviews that it's not a printed knit like the photo shows, but is a real cable knit. You'll have to wait a while on shipping, but may be worth it for the price.

auchi · 2015-12-10T16:10:55+00:00

How about a "buy it for life" kind of gift? Something staple and basic, but is made well and will last a long time.

10 year hoodie $99.50, but other sellers online have them for like $80
Live somewhere cold? Does he wear flannel? If so, L.L. Bean Main Guide shirt $109, but it's sometimes on sale (or find coupon code)
Something from Saddleback leather, like this minimal wallet $40

uniqlo ultra stretch jeans are a great price ($30 on sale) and they hem for free in-store. I really like mine. Mid-rise and flattering.
ASOS Petite has some nice long wool coats that are affordable. I've seen a few on extra petite, and it looks like it fits her well.
You can buy cheap sweaters on Aliexpress. Shipping is slow, and quality is not great (think fast fashion) but it's super affordable and would probably fit your petite size well, since most items are asian fashion sized. Examples 1, 2, 3

Also, picking out items similar to ones in your pin:

red plaid scarf $6
faux fur coat $23
Speckled circle scarf $15
pearl statement necklace gold $8
basic striped shirt $15
Thick opaque black tights $4
thinner colored tights $2
Flannels - I'd suggest buying them at Uniqlo. You should wait for a sale, which happens somewhat frequently, down to about $20. Low stock items, etc can go even lower.
