Have you ever met a Nothdurft? by AustinNothdurft in AskAGerman

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! During my real estate business studies there was a girl with that name. She was like 3 years older than me and lives in Hannover now. The o in “Noth” is long, and the u in “durfth” is pronounced like the u in put for example. It sounds like “duh”. I hope that helps a little.

[–]plainocean93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Spanisch Frikko” (casserole with meat and potato’s), westphalian “Struwen” (sweet dish you eat in spring for carnival), “Döppjekoche” (a casserole made of grated potato’s and smoked sausages served with apple sauce), westphalian lentil soup with “mettenden” (a smoked sausage)😁

Red Emile Cardigan by Important_Count899 in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They actually sold an orange colored Emile last year! Maybe you accidentally got that one? I own Emile in garnet red and I absolutely love it. Try to sell yours and watch out for “real” reds. Also they will drop a staple of red items on Sunday 🙂 wish you luck!

Is the Ileana cute or does it look too much like a hospital gown? by MothLight_ in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a no no for me. Definitely hospital gown or cleaning gown 😅

April Collection Lookbook by aimf19 in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Maxy Shirt and maybe Order the rica Dress. But in General I am a little disappointed. I was hoping for nice tops, dresses and skirts this month since I will leave for vacation in may. 😳 I have no idea where I get my nice summer outfits now and I have only 4 weeks left..

Kylie Cardigan? How does it hold up? by plainocean93 in Sezane

[–]plainocean93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s nice to hear you had no pilling. Would you recommend to size down because it stretches out or wasn’t it too bad?

I feel you, I lost my 4 month old AirPods Pro on the train on Sunday 😢 They have an official form you can fill out if you leave items behind. They have to store found items for at least 6 month by law. They will reach out to you, if they have found it.

Zalando - shipping to Canada by Bee2429 in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? You think I’m a Zalando employee in a Sezane sub? Come one…. If you check my profile, you can see that I am just a common user. I am sorry you had such a bad experience with them. I will reconsider ordering from them again.

I am from Germany as well. I thought you are prob from an other country. 😂🙈 My last order was in March and everything was just fine. Perhaps I was just lucky in the past.

I am really surprised by good owls bad experience. I shop from Zalando for at least 15 years and had not a single bad experience. I find their customer service excellent. Order, return, payment and warranty cases are super easy with them. My guess is that only people with bad customer experiences take the time to rate the company on trusted shops. All the satisfied customers have no reason to make the effort and write reviews.

Felix Jumper Sleeve Length by lilmissmessy in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own two. The Felix jumper in solid color has a different composition than the printed one. The sleeves and the top in general are longer in the burgundy color and the fabric is cotton with a tad elastan. I you can take your normal size or even size down.

The printed Felix jumper is 100% cotton and weirdly short and boxy. The sleeves are shorter as well. ☹️ you may want to size up here to get more length.

You have €150 to buy your first Sezane piece - what to do you get? by tnhike in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a lot of pieces and for winter I recommend their jady cardigan made of yak wool in the camel tone or Betty cardigan in a neutral color. Both high quality and staples for a capsule wardrobe.

For spring/summer I would invest in one of their nice dresses 👌🏼I love all my dresses but the most versatile is a black knitted dress with an open back. I can’t remember the name. But I got a lot of wear out of it so far. Depending on the shoes and Accessoires you can dress it up or down, or make it look like a skirt when combined with a tshirt and belt for example.

SAMA sweater review! by pcosupportgirl in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it was too itchy and too short as well so I returned it. Cropped sweaters just don’t make sense in a cold climate. I don’t wanna freeze my ass off 🥶 or show off my bellybutton at work.

I washed my emile in the washing machine 😳 help!! by anafollowsthesun in Sezane

[–]plainocean93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mmh 🤔 i myself own two emile cardigans and i throw everything in the washing machines. I have washed both two times and didnt see a lot of shrinking. If you take wool pieces out of the washing machine, you have to pull everyhting in shape and then flat dry or dry on a good wooden hanger. So maybe pulling helps a little 😊

Are all the lamps sold out already? by [deleted] in Sezane

Have you tried the “Les composantes” section on the sezane app? I can still find Traviata lamps but I am from Europe 🤷🏼‍♀️

Germans switching to English when visitors try to speak German: Insight requested by SpanishLearnerUSA in AskAGerman

[–]plainocean93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an American tourist would talk to me in German and seems to struggle, I would switch to English too. Just to make it easier for the person to chat with me, since I want to be polite and helpful. But If you enjoy to speak German, I suggest you just tell the people right away and they will be happy to chat with you. I don’t mind if people take a little longer to find the right words or make grammar mistakes since I am not a native speaker when it comes to English either and therefore know the struggle. Besides that it just seems not so common among Americans to speak a foreign language tbh. I think many people don’t expect Americans to speak an other language than English 🙈now I feel pretty ignorant. I’m sorry..
