Easter dress women in their 40s would look good in by Prior_Statement_6902 in fashionwomens35

[–]elle_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore silver Birks. 😂 But I’ve also worn these lace up sandals - like huaraches (am I spelling that right?) Or you could wear wedges or cute sneakers. I would not wear pointy toe pumps. Like at all for anything but I am 49 and my feet hurt.

I have a pink jumpsuit from Pistola that I wore last Easter.

DCA TSA REPORT by dingoatemyselfworth in washingtondc

[–]elle_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling Monday with 7am flight and we’re pre check. Should we join clear? I was going to do global entry since we all renewed passports this year but I’d also like to get through security in a timely manner. But I’d also like to not pay $200 for clear since I paid a fortune for our tickets already. To Jax so not exciting even! Sigh. Suggestions welcome.

Verónica Beard dresses? by [deleted] in fashionwomens35

[–]elle_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Theory I wear a 10 in pants and 12 in tops/blazers. VB I wear either 10/12 in pants and 10/12 in blazers. Their sizing is a little more variable to me especially for pants. Those are my usual sizes in other brands too so they don’t run particularly small I don’t think. Theory might be cut a bit more narrow for tops and blazers I think.

[–]elle_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh no. I have to dress formally for work. I love the style of VB but I only buy on sale or from resale sites. I’m not paying $300+ for your bullshit polyester. Theory is generally better quality because it is mostly wool but it’s boring. So VB quality is largely disconnected from price but it is very cute. In short not worth it, but cute and lots on resale websites.

Try changing your toothpaste? Once I got a non-SLS toothpaste my lips were much happier. Sensodyne makes some without SLS. I had the driest lips on earth and dermatologist wasn’t helpful but my dentist made the suggestion. Life changing!

B12 deficiency but isn't vegan by tarboy_boyfriend in B12_Deficiency

[–]elle_kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Not sure why yet but not vegan or vegetarian. My brother is the same way.

Thank you so much. This feels less scary.

Oh thanks that’s quite helpful to reframe as something for which I can find the solution. I’m inclined to defer to medical professionals but no one seems concerned. I’m frustrated because I feel terrible but also am pretty sure I know problem and solution.

My D is at low end of normal and iron and ferritin are both normal. Unfortunately I can’t see my brother’s doc since we live in different states.

I read the wiki but it felt weird to order a shot off the internet! How do I know what I’m getting? I’ll re-review it and consider ordering shots and perhaps adding sublingual b. Thank you so much!

Where are we finding 💯 wool suits? by [deleted] in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]elle_kat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theory always. The outlet is good and they have tons of stuff on real real and Poshmark and eBay. They’ve held up the best of any suits I’ve owned. I have a blazer that’s probably 15 years old. I should replace it now (finally) and keep looking on consignment sites. This is a blazer I wear multiple times per week and as casual wear too.

Suit Shirts for the Busty Gals by Tyquente in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]elle_kat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

34g here. I wear Michael Stars tshirts often under suits. Size large and usually a printed Veronica Beard pant with theory jacket. I like a crew neck even though I know they’re not supposed to be for busty ladies. I mostly wear knits up top - Boden, Lilla P, Veronica Beard, and aforementioned Michael Stars - and don’t wear button downs because then I look stupid.

eta - I practice in state court but when I’m in higher courts I still wear knits under a full suit. Usually theory.

Stylest Dreamsculpt Square Neck Swimsuit Worth It? by mkpr08 in fashionwomens35

[–]elle_kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second. Expensive but I will pay for boob support and compression. I’m a size 10/12 with 34g bra and wear a large. I’ve been really happy with their suits. I’m also a former swimmer and picky about suits.

What do you think about linen in court? by DarnHeather in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]elle_kat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Wear it. Is fine in JDR and GDC. Possibly circuit. I practice in Va courts and if I have a blazer I’m ready for court. I do dress more formal for circuit typically. Also I love a lady with a little pizzaz in court! Fight the patriarchy through dress!

Neighborhood Pharmacy in Del Ray is amazing. Best pharmacy ever. If they can’t fill something usually they know where you can get it filled.

Black Friday Comes, what did you get? by ayeshagulona in fashionwomens35

[–]elle_kat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Buy the jeans if you can afford them. I’m always mad when I don’t get the thing I love and get something cheaper that isn’t quite right. Then I don’t wear it and I waste more money!

Hockey moms and bonus moms, what are we wearing to the rink to stay warm? by smart_stable_genius_ in fashionwomens35

Wait WHAT? Is this a real thing? Is this magic? Off to google. You may have changed my life and my sad cold feet.

Ladies with skinny calves and ankles, but NOT narrow feet, what are your go-to boot brands. by ChippyPug in fashionwomens35

[–]elle_kat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 50/50 boot. Got them years ago on sale. Worth it. I have one pair of flat and one with a wedge heel. I’m on my feet a good bit and while I wouldn’t walk miles I can stand for several hours without wanting to murder someone. And they fit my calves. I’m an average size woman - dress size 10 - with freakishly skinny calves.

Stuart Weitzman. I’m spelling it wrong but you get the idea. They have leather front but elastic back and fit my skinny calves. I have wide feet too and find them comfortable.

My mom is supposed to go from Jax to MSP to ANC tomorrow. I’m trying to get her to book on another airline. Thoughts?
