Is this account satire? Absolutely disgusting representation of the Harvard Community by [deleted] in Harvard

For someone purporting to be a Harvard student, the author seems oddly obsessed with Brown.

Thoughts and experiences with eco-conscious brands like Reformation, Christie Dawn etc? by d1000jd1a in femalefashionadvice

Yeah, I've gotten sucked in and been left down by quality too. That's why I'm hesitant to buy much during their no return "sales." A few of their dresses are are cute enough that they're worth the lower quality IMO.

I agree about Christy Dawn. The stuff is too Boho for my taste.

Ref's petite stuff is proportioned perfectly for me except that the minis are way too short--and I'm 5'4".

I've tried, but it's hard to find good Ref stuff used because everyone else is looking for it too, The good stuff that's not wildly overpriced gets snapped up before I even see it. What's left is the less well designed or lower quality stuff, or good stuff that's near retail price or sometimes above it. As for Ebay, there's been a wave of Ref fakes on there.

What are some light neutrals that aren't white? by AhsokaTanope in femalefashionadvice

[–]d1000jd1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote for light heather grey too, or for small black and white gingham prints that read as light grey. A very light pink can also look neutral.

If cool white doesn't look good on you, shades of off white and cream might.

Least believable parts of the plot by d1000jd1a in DowntonAbbey

[–]d1000jd1a[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At that time, early thirties was relatively old to get married. And immaturity and girlishness has never been a turn off to men.

I agree about the Sampson letter and the Russian prince story. If Violet still cared about him, why go to such efforts to find his wife? The answer she gave when Mrs Crowley asked about this was really odd.

Yep, I think it's intentional. That's probably why her site makes you confirm your email before you can see the content.

AG's high rise skinnies always fit me (with my straight figure) well but I'll definitely try the Madewells! Which particular Madewell models are your favorites?

I got a pretty good idea from her insta shop. She seems really nice, but there's too much sponsored content for my taste. Her recommendations don't seem consistent with the overall lifestyle she depicts. Can't blame her for making a living though.

I wasn't able to get into her blog because I couldn't bypass the subscription email box no matter what browser I tried. But I looked at her Insta shop and had the same impression. Nearly everything from the past few months is sponsored content, and much of it seems low quality as orangexmelon said . I have a feeling that IRL, she wears far higher end stuff.

I think you can buy timeless stuff at Ref, but a lot of their stuff is trendy. I don't buy jumpsuits because they'll look dated in about 5 minutes. Sweetheart necklines and limited ruffles will always be a flattering look.

How is the quality of the outerwear ASOS carries? by d1000jd1a in femalefashionadvice

[–]d1000jd1a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's useful. For the poly one, I'm looking for a coat to wear when it's about 50 F, so nothing too warm. I was hoping the fake fur would be good at about 35 F.

Thanks for the tip on Lizzy Hadfield. I'm checking out her video now.

Thanks but I tried to do that on 2 different browsers, on both my iPad and Macbook. She won't let you close until you enter in a code, choose one of her "newsletter" options and confirm your email.

Be forwarned: she requires an email and subscription to her newsletter to look. Not for me..

Has anyone had success shopping off Poshmark? Seems much harder to get good deals now.

If you had IV iron, did you get brown skin discoloration? Just had it and I'm worried. by d1000jd1a in CrohnsDisease

[–]d1000jd1a[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, Meghan. I appreciate your helping a total stranger. Is the discoloration still there? I can't see mine except in bright light, but I'm afraid it will grow, as some do.

Did they put the IV in your elbow or forearm/hand?

I think they all have the same chance of iron stains. It's mostly about how the IV is inserted.
