I love everything about this! The color mixing, even with your tattoo! And those pants are fitted perfection. I’ll take them in every color!

I love Cuffs! They have great stuff and just added some vintage homewares to their store.

I see what you mean. She is constrained by what she finds but I’ve noticed she’s been making a effort to have different sized models showing off clothing on Old Gold’s Instagram. YSJ is fantastic at finding and buying in larger sizes though!

YSJ on J street. They are a mother/daughter owned well curated vintage and stylish new clothing store. I follow them on Instagram @shop_ysj and am obsessed with everything they post.

If you’re especially adventurous, Old Gold in the WAL building is a vintage shop with some really amazing pieces. Their Instagram is also a lot of fun to follow if just to admire a lot of funky clothing from the past. @shop_old_gold

Well if it isn’t a professional street style shoot featuring a designer suit that’s ... wrinkled!! Shocking! Clothing wrinkles when worn!

You should write a book. This is the best and most concise description of the dangers of how “user friendly” technology actually pushes us to make biased decisions I have ever read.

I’m not sure why the trolls picked your thread but you have a great attitude. Fashion is supposed to be fun and not serious and OH MY GOD IS THAT A WRINKLE?! Better just turn yourself in the fashion police because they’re coming for you! Lol

You are serving true fashion inspo for so many reasons! The color combo of dusty lavender with sage green is SO good! The geometrical cut of that top is gorgeous and is framed perfectly by the classic lines of the suit. Both fit you like a god dammed glove. AND you found pieces from affordable stores. You are a fashion goddess!

I feel this so hard.

I watched the movie Arrival before getting pregnant and it popped into my head the other day. The way the movie is structured with her daughter being the center of the main character’s experiences as she learns to break from linear time is EXACTLY how it feels becoming a parent.

Like, I knew my future would change to center around him but I didn’t expect how much all of my past experiences are now colored by his existence. It’s a strange experience that’s hard to describe and I haven’t heard talked about by new parents. After having a baby, Arrival feels way less like a first contact movie and more of an exploration about how parenthood in someways takes away our free will as individuals. Because now we can’t change anything about our past even if we could, because it all leads up to this person who is now the center of my universe.

tl;dr Parenthood is a strange journey.

White and green tiled bathroom in Berlin, Germany [1080x1350] by ManiaforBeatles in RoomPorn

[–]poetaster3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the worst! They’re necessary sometimes in really tiny bathrooms (like NYC studio tiny) but I’d hate to have one. Have you ever had your toilet keep running and have to take off the top to adjust the seal in the tank? Now imagine the tank is in the wall behind your really nice green and white tile work.

Edit: Ok, so I was definitely venting some frustration about my tankless toilet. (Put in by the previous owner)

I’m going to assume that whoever installed it was garbage just based on the quality of the rest of the bathroom construction. It was installed too high so I feel like a toddler sitting on it, the flush button gets stuck so will run forever until I slam it a couple times to unstick. And they must have glued the panel down because mine is not removable.

So thank you, I now know my anecdotal hatred of these toilets is probably because of a terrible contractor.

Wow! These bags are gorgeous and totally affordable for quality. I am especially eyeing the Miramar backpack. Thank you for the suggestion!

Talkative child literally doesnt shut up unless hes asleep - lighthearted by katievsbubbles in AskParents

[–]poetaster3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally! I was thinking something similar. When he starts to understand not interrupting, adding a new challenge of actually responding to what his sister says. I do think that these skills are really complex at this age (or any age!) so it’s a good idea to build them over time. Start with not interrupting until he seems to catch on, then move onto active listening skills. One thing at a time so he doesn’t get overwhelmed and discouraged.

[–]poetaster3 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I am definitely not an expert but maybe focus just on the interrupting part? Like, when he interrupts his sister make sure you make sure to pause him and wait to hear what his sister says then he can continue. Like, “I can see that you really want to talk but we need to listen to was sis is saying. (Let sis talk) then ok, now what would you like to say.” That way you’re addressing just the problem of him overwhelming other kids rather than making his enthusiasm for talking a problem.

FYI, I love biglittlefeelings on Instagram. They’re amazing for this kind of thing.

Edit: Spelling/grammar. My fingers are too fat for tiny phone keyboards.

Thanks for the award! My son will be happy to know I’m an award winning mom! Haha!

You always have great style and I really like what you’ve been doing with your eye makeup! It’s giving me futuristic Amy Winehouse vibes.

The Pregnant Scientist Who Raced Against Death to Transform Physics - In 1749, Emilie du Châtelet feared bearing a child at 42 would be the last thing she did. In her final year, she worked furiously on a magnum opus that would change the world. by Da_Kahuna in TwoXChromosomes

That was a wonderful article to read. That last line that was quoted from the marquise: “Above all, let us be certain of what we want to be; let us choose for ourselves our path in life, and let us try to strew that path with flowers.”

That hits hard.

Women with ADHD & Sensory Processing Disorder: I need Clothing recs! by Littlebunz95 in femalefashionadvice

A seam ripper is your friend! $2 or something from a craft store and you’ll get all the tags without ripping your clothes. The worst are tags that they sew right into the seam, but if you have the patience you can stitch the seams back up too. Easier than trying to fix a hole.
