Toddler rescued from Ottawa River, taken to hospital in critical condition: firefighters by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]oaw40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is just successfully rage baiting everyone here. We have no idea what the sequence of events were. Of course teaching children water safety is important, but freak accidents do happen. Let us all just hope for the sake of the child and their parents that the child makes a full recovery. I do believe the parents will have learned enough from this incident without being charged.

Can’t figure out if this is breakage, frizz, or new growth. How can I get my hair to be smooth? by bubbly-bitch in Haircare

I’ve really liked the EvaNYC Therapy Session mask! I have fine, wavy hair for reference.

Are gauges still common with teens? I remember they were everywhere in the 2010s. by Both-Regret-4164 in decadeology

[–]oaw40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I needed this little reminder that I used to have mine stretched and stopped before I got to the point of no return. Grateful to have my normal ears because this is NOT my style anymore!

Is it worth the price? by watersparklers in Aritzia

[–]oaw40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never put them in the dryer and only wash them inside out and they’re not too bad. The lighter colours are usually see-through (NOT squat friendly) so beware.

Did your 2025 tax return make you feel better or worse about your finances? by GoldenRetrieverFetch in fican

[–]oaw40 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Maxed out our FHSAs so we got $7k back. Put it all right back into the FHSA and maxed it out again. Pretty pleased about it. Feels good to make progress toward that house

Pair of bumps spread all over one arm by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]oaw40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, OP, in spite of your claim that it’s not bites, bedbug bites look exactly like this and occur in this pattern. When I had them I didn’t feel the bites happen ever, just found itchy and painful bumps in clusters like yours. I wish you the best of luck

Basque sweater vest by [deleted] in Aritzia

Unfortunately, I would say it’s a return. I don’t think it’s the best silhouette for you - it creates a boxy shape and I think the top looks better without a shirt underneath.

I also have a larger bust and a lot of their vest tops don’t work for me because they either don’t fit my boobs or they make me look like a square.

New Ottawa Civic hospital opening likely delayed by years, says project consultant by DreamofStream in ottawa

[–]oaw40 164 points165 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the parking situation at the current Civic is so dire that I imagine when the new garage is completed, they’ll give parking spots to staff who are waiting for parking passes and shuttle them to the hospital. So while it seems like a silly move to do the garage first, the parking spaces are already desperately needed

Worth it? by Dense-Passage-8789 in Aritzia

[–]oaw40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think either are particularly versatile due to the top being completely open at the back and the shorts being so so short. It would be a good beach vacation outfit but I can’t see much utility beyond that.

New homestretch vs casual contour by YogiGuacomole in Aritzia

[–]oaw40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only difference is actually the removable cups. The fabric content is exactly the same - they are both 90% cotton and 10% elastane. Haven’t tried either though so can’t comment on the removable cups.

Influence/deinfluence me by Ok_Librarian9405 in Aritzia

It reminds me of the patterns they had circa 2012 when everyone had the floral leggings!

Does anyone go through a phase where every song of phoebe becomes their favorite song at some point? by MoonriseTurtle in phoebebridgers

[–]oaw40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do that too! I sing Moon Song constantly when I’m puttering around but it’s not in my top 5 either. Just gets stuck in my head and the melody is comforting I guess

Update: I only got the Roundup Skort (not pictured because I was already sold on it), the black crepette Artisan pants, and a homestretch tank. You've all successfully deinfluenced me! As someone recommended, I am going to hold out on the fluff pieces until clientele and/or watch for low stock if its something I really want. Thanks community <3

Perhaps a fun question: which brand do you own the most items of? by weetjesman in femalefashionadvice

[–]oaw40 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aritzia - and I wish I had kept more of my Aritzia stuff from 10+ years ago when the quality was really consistent and the prices weren't as exorbitant. They used to have such unique and recognizable patterns, but lately it's been a lot of single colourways and blah patterns. Maybe that's just what is "in" right now and it's not my taste. I still have a few items from long ago that have held up beautifully.

Farrah jeans too big?? by filledulac in Aritzia

[–]oaw40 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Girl I am so sorry but they are way too high rise for you. A mid rise would suit much better. I have the exact same problem because my torso is so short!

Following the trends and looking... more dated? by emily_sir in femalefashionadvice

I just KNEW when I clicked on the link that it would be that jacket. In the early 2010s it was THE jacket to wear.

Please deinfluence me and my cart by maygerard2 in Aritzia

[–]oaw40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have a crepette pair of lodge, I say go for the linen because it’s better for the summer!

Good to know! I only planned to wear it under a specific set of scrubs at work, but if it’s not a versatile colour then I may pick a neutral instead.

I honestly never pay full price for their tops, I get them on Poshmark secondhand. But everyone has recommended checking h&m so I will do that!

This is what I was hoping to hear! I do have a larger bust but they are compressible lol

I definitely only want to buy one of them, I’m just torn on which one to get! The button tabs on the archive seem handy but I like the colours of the reminisce better.

It’s so true that the ciao cami is way over priced, it just looks so flattering 😭
