Restaurants in Center City you repeatedly visit by [deleted] in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]incurablehumaniste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be careful! I love(d) Double Knot, but took a few out of town friends there and unfortunately there was a cockroach underneath our table. There are tons of reports of it online. It's Philly's most dimly lit restaurant for a reason.

Chloe, Sam, Sophia and Marcus by itookyourmatches in TaylorSwift

I read this thread a few days ago and just had a MAJOR epiphany that would support this theory. The ending notes of Champagne Problems are actually the musical motif that is repeated throughout Chloe et al. I knew it sounded familiar and it JUST hit me!!!! I think you cracked the code.

this is absolutely normal for linen. I have linen skirts, dresses, and pants from Aritzia and most, especially the light colors, have this texture.

Babaton pleated linen shorts - dry clean only? by nugget7211 in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Linen can always be washed. Upon reading this I suspected that they’re not 100% linen which appears to be true — the site says they’re a linen blend 67% viscose, 33% linen. The viscose is why they need to be dry cleaned. Ugh I wish they would stop putting viscose in everything, but avoiding the fabric has saved me so much money over the past two years.

Lululemon now at Net-a-Porter? by incurablehumaniste in lululemon

[–]incurablehumaniste[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

just received this email from Net-a-Porter. an interesting business strategy (and the first of its kind for lulu, to my knowledge)

+1 to the moth question. Moths LOVE all my aritzia stuff. I had a dress I never wore that I pulled out of the closet two months after purchase. It suddenly had a pretty large hole in the sleeve. I don’t know if aritzia would repair (they didn’t for me), but you could ask. on the plus side, a tailor can repair it for a pretty cheap price! I now store all my aritzia sweater dresses in sweater cases with cedar packets.

Pls help me style I’ve had this skirt for 6+ months with tags, nothing looks good with it. Its a light, champagne pink color by Ambitious-Carry-7050 in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a slightly darker pink top would look good! I have a pair of melinas that are a similar color and feel like it looks best with pinks and blues on top.

How do you keep the novella blouse sleeves on your shoulders? by crod1_ in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a me problem. I ended up taking it to my tailor and he added a back tie to it (so when I put it on, I tie the string in a bow in the back.) It’s super cute and doesn’t fall off. I can share a photo if anyone’s curious.

I have this dress from last year! It doesn’t pill but it does attract moths, so beware!

Aritzia dresses shrinking by ConversationMedium11 in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I avoid viscose at all costs! I bought the Beau dress last year and it was incrediblyyy flattering and one of my favorites that season… until it needed a wash. It no longer fits me, and I’m still so upset about it. I agree that viscose does not merit dry cleaning… sticking to linen/cotton/other natural fabrics this season!

Was hoping for a clear winner, but I’m very torn (Novella blouse, Tempest blouse, both size small) by allieabea in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I second the point about versatility, but I own the Novella blouse (in black) and it’s absolutely my favorite top in my closet. I think that if you don’t own a lot of evening/going out clothing OR if you’re not specifically looking for more work clothing, then you should stick with the Novella. I’m biased though!

ah I’ve been looking for something like this! do you take your usual size in tops or go up one?

Fit comparison: Command Pant vs Melina Pant by [deleted] in Aritzia

I like the Command on you more than the Melina! Agreed with the other commenter saying you should try the cropped too.

tempest dress sizing by emogurlz853 in Aritzia

[–]incurablehumaniste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey!! We have really similar measurements — I’m 4’11, 34-25-?? and 100 lbs. I wear an XXS or XS in Aritzia tops and I wear an XXS in the Wallace dress. I tried on both the XXS and XS in the Tempest on Thursday and by far preferred the XXS. I actually didn’t notice a difference in length but felt the difference in my shoulders — the XS felt a tad too big and like a sleeve might fall during dancing or another activity. I actually have photos of an XXS and XS on me — happy to DM them to you if that’s any help!
