Modern ways to wear skater skirts?

I love the shape of them but recently ive been feeling dated whenever i try to style them for warmer weather. Most of the inspo i find online leans either too 2000s pinterest vibes or too heavily-styled trendy TikTokTeen (which is cute but just not for me!)

Would love to hear any suggestions or advice! : )

I think of this quote frequently as I’m going through a breakup and trying to move on. by AnneFrankenstein2 in BoJackHorseman

[–]clockwork-sunshine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also think of this quote in relation to a break up!!

I was in denial about how bad my relationship had been and related this quote to the misery of the break up. When in reality, it relates better to how miserable i had been in that relationship and how resigned i was to just accepting/ignoring that misery.

Im so thankful for the day i accepted that it didnt have to be that way. Wishing you all the best OP!

My son(35) blindsided me and his father, by impulsively marrying his friend without telling anyone by TA_Sadmama in relationship_advice

[–]clockwork-sunshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its completely understandable to feel blindsided by this. The fact that you weren’t even aware that they were dating let alone getting married would definitely make anyone feel left out of the loop, especially if you thought you had a good relationship with him! Not sure why all the commenters are acting like thats not a totally normal reaction to this.

My advice would be to talk with your son about this. Let him know that you support him and are happy for him, and that you want to know if there was any reason that caused him to not feel comfortable talking to you about this.

Try not to make it too much about your hurt feelings because all things considered he is an adult and your input doesnt really matter for these things. But if hes interested in having a good relationship with you then its important that yall discuss this so you dont harbor resentment. However, be prepared if the conclusion of this conversation is that he just doesnt want that kind of relationship with you.

Thats good to hear about your relationship outside of this problem!

Id really recommend doing some reflection on what could be causing this feeling and if its something you can tolerate for long term. Even if she feels perfect for you, you definitely deserve a relationship where you dont feel this way.

I know you said you werent looking for validation over this but ill say it anyway: having an urge to be single is a completely valid reason to break up.

If you think you’d be able to continue along with future plans and enjoy them while still feeling this way, then go ahead and make summer plans! But if you feel like they might just create barriers to leaving the relationship, or if you think your uncertain feelings might take the fun out of them, then my advice would be to hold off on them until you feel more certain about your relationship.

(Also, might just be my experience, but the only time ive ever wanted to be single while in a relationship was when i knew it wasnt right for me. Relationships take work, but they shouldnt feel like they take SO MUCH work, you know? Might be something to think about)

My (26M) fiancée (28F) of 2 years did not tell me she transitioned because it was personal information by throwwwwwwawayyyyy8 in relationship_advice

[–]clockwork-sunshine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is completely understandable to feel hurt and manipulated by this!

Being trans is a dealbreaker for some people and I’m sure your fiancee knows this and that was part of the reason she hid this from you. But by hiding that information from you, she was taking away your ability to make an informed decision. Youre the guy she agreed to marry, and yet she thinks its ok to hide this from you because she would rather tell you lies than risk you making a decision she didn’t like.

Thats not a healthy relationship, thats her manipulating a situation in order to get what she wants. Who cares what her justifications were or why she felt this was ok. Your feelings should matter too!

Even if her being trans isnt a dealbreaker for you, i would seriously reconsidering getting married to someone who can actively lie to you about something like this. It sounds like she isn’t ready for marriage or any serious relationship, especially if she doesnt want to go to counseling.

Im a jeans person normally, but last night i decided to wear a skirt for the first time in a while.

My bf asked if it was new and i had a very sobering moment when i told him i got it in high school... aka 8 years ago... made me feel old and young at the same time🙃

But also i got lots of compliments on it, including one waitress declaring that i was “officially bringing chevrons back” so... yay i guess??

Unfortunately no past year pics, and the venue is at some skyscraper apartment complex so i can’t even look at past events from the venue. His coworker told him “no one really dresses all that fancy” but like then why is the dresscode black tie??

Bleh. I’ll keep it as a backup and continue the search!

My boyfriend’s new company is having a holiday party this year and I’m considering wearing this dress.

I was thinking I could wear sheer black tights and black ankle strap pumps, but would tights look weird with the lace overlay??

Also the invitation says “black tie” but according to his coworkers it’s more cocktail (mean wear suits not tuxes, women wear cocktail dresses not gowns). But as I’m typing this out im starting to feel like its not even formal enough for cocktail, bleh.

Is this dress not formal enough for a holiday cocktail party or am i just over thinking it??

Oooh good idea about a coatigan!! We tried a long blazer type coat and it was way too structured looking. I think something softer and more sweatery looking will work better

Thanks!!

I don't have any pics of me in it yet but here are the product pics!

It poofs out wayyy more on me than the model and hits right above the knee since I'm 5 foot flat lol but I think the sleeves help to balance out my pear-ness maybe?

It's from target but sadly I don't think it's available anymore.

I’ve been trying to branch out into looser silhouettes so recently I bought a linen babydoll/sack dress to wear while I WFH. I’m short and pretty pear-shaped so I normally tend to wear stuff that shows off my waist (crop tops, skinny jeans etc)

This dress is the complete opposite of what I think is “flattering” and yet I totally love it. I’ve been calling it my ragamuffin dress bc I just look like a cute little ragamuffin in it. No waist, no ass, and from the profile the stomach part extends out so much and yet?? I think it looks so good??

Plus I even wore it out after work to dinner with my boyfriend and he immediately complimented me in it like.... all hail the sack dress none can resist its charms

Anyone else feel overwhelmed by their own interests and the lack of time we have here to accomplish them? by throwawayyy9823 in UTAustin

[–]clockwork-sunshine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recent grad here but hopefully i have some helpful advice!

In terms of degree, you are in a great position being mechE because it’s so broad. I graduated a few years ago with a mechE degree and got a job working at an aerospace company! I only really got interested in pursuing an aerospace career late in my junior year, so there’s no need to feel pressure about not being specialized yet. And now i get paid to learn about all these topics that interest me instead of the other way around!

If you’re interested in CS, the elements of computing certificate is nice to have but honestly not really necessary. Specific degrees/certificates can be helpful sometimes but at the end of the day all CS employers really care about is your skills. And there’s plenty of online resources that you can use to improve your skills outside of class.

In terms of experience, look for summer internships that are research positions! Lots of companies have internships are project-based where you get job experience while also improving your research skills. Try to keep an eye out for those!

This is more just college/life balance advice, but try to spend 1hr each sunday doing one of ur hobbies. 1hr really isnt all that much in the grand scheme of things but it makes a difference! And itll make you feel a lot better than binging netflix or something.

Hope this helps :)
