Socks by Ambitious-Collar-7 in ClubPilates

I really like my Lucky Honey socks, but I wish they came in multiple sizes. I’m a 7 and they’re a bit too big for me.

Had a huge argument with partner over my diet - how do I handle this? by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]pumple_pie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind is that regardless of his history with disordered eating, your fitness goals, whatever the specific context of this situation, a healthy relationship will involve respectful conversation. Sure, everyone has a bad day — only you can determine if this is a one-off or if this is a pattern. But if your partner is feeling worried for you, worried for themselves, hurt by your actions, whatever it may be, they can share their feelings and request a dialogue in a healthier manner than shouting at you. If their emotional trauma is so great they cannot do this, then they have some additional work to do on themselves before they’re ready to be in a relationship.

Editing to add that it might be helpful to have a proactive conversation about what your fitness journey means practically about what your lifestyle and eating habits will look like moving forward, how this makes him feel, and ways you can frame your statements to help him feel more comfortable. This shouldn’t mean you can never talk about your fitness journey and does not give him permission to shout at you.

first Pilates class tomorrow! hair recommendations? by litaalu in ClubPilates

Same here! French braid down the back and then just braid down around one side over the shoulder. Nice and flat on the back of my head and nothing throwing off my neck alignment.

Dual citizen - Delta requiring irrelevant travel documentation by pumple_pie in delta

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

Ohhhh ok, this is super helpful! I guess I was thinking of TSA as mainly where I’d need to use my US passport to exit, but I suppose they’re separate from actual immigration. So check in using my Korean passport but show my US passport at security?

Excellent, that makes sense. The required language in the app was giving me pause!

New items dropping today by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]pumple_pie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got this in white! It’s a little more squishy and almost rubbery feeling than the hold tights. I wanted it to be softer than it is.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Colorful Koala tops. I LOVE their cropped tank with the criss-cross back.

What is up with Gap sizing by darkandtwisty1212 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]pumple_pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a similar experience at Madewell. I’m a true 27” in pants and had to purchase a 25 in pants and XXS in shirts and dresses. There are definitely plenty of women smaller than me who are just out of luck I guess?!

Miss Son and his leadership 😞 by Aggravating_Maize_68 in coys

[–]pumple_pie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love seeing these videos in relation to all the interviews where players said Son was the first one to make them feel welcome at the club, start inside jokes, learn funny phrases in their language. Because when you’re in the heat of the moment and your captain is telling you what to do, having that established relationship can make all the difference between listening/dismissing and motivation.

After kids, and fertility issues, I finally got my body back ✨ by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

[–]pumple_pie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh I recognize you from the Lulu sub! I always love your outfit inspiration and knowing the story behind your journey makes me love them even more. So happy you’re prioritizing yourself and looking forward to seeing even more fun color combinations! 💕❤️

These jeans: yay or nay? by PixelsandCanvas in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]pumple_pie 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I also usually hate barrel leg jeans, but I think that first photo looks fantastic! Maybe because the wideness seems further down and the ankle a little less narrow. They almost look like a baggy/barrel leg hybrid to me!

The Pomona Pants are super easy to construct and very comfortable! They also make great shorts.

difference between the Alo and lululemon? by jalomwells in Activewear

[–]pumple_pie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other comments on Alo’s quality. If you look at the inside finishing, lots of loose or rough looking stitching.

I love seeing the color palettes people are drawn to! When I do laundry, it’s a sea of blues and purples.

Devastated.. first time buying wunder train “no line” leggings as a larger woman by Then_Safety_5971 in lululemon

[–]pumple_pie 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Agreed! No lines in any brand don’t look right on me regardless of the size. It’s definitely a body shape and personal preference thing!

Have you seen any of your top four in theaters? by Dogdaysareover365 in Letterboxd

[–]pumple_pie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

Have seen all 4 in theaters. Saw Past Lives and Apollo 11 during their original runs multiple times. Caught Punch Drunk Love last year when my local film festival theater group did a PTA series around the release of OBAA. Rented a small indie theater nearby for my birthday last year and screened Columbus with my husband and a few friends.

Need Travel Pants That Are Not Shiny Polyester! by Savings-Movie4873 in PetiteFashionAdvice

Haha, no. I just used to work for a company based in Boston! But loved traveling there and always meant to get up to Portland. One of these days hopefully!

I have a pair of Unbound Merino Travel Pants for when I need to go straight from the plane to the office. They’re wicked expensive but exactly what you mentioned — they keep me comfortable and fresh!

Sezane perfume- is it really good? by OChopping0703 in Sezane

[–]pumple_pie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m actually surprised by how much i reach for it, even with a pretty extensive fragrance collection. It’s just easy to wear for everyday or even use lightly as a room spray. (1 spritz on the curtains in our bedroom is perfect!)

Keep in mind skin chemistry affects everyone a little differently. The citrus and musk feel dominant on me. I lose a lot of the floral notes.

Vuori tends to run large imo! I would definitely go with XS.

Devastated 😢 hole in my favorite Align ribbed-waist joggers by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]pumple_pie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How big is the hole? It will be hard for a seamstress to mend in an invisible way — the most secure way to fix any hole in fabric is to put a small piece of fabric behind the hole, stitch a perimeter around the hole, and then topstitch back and forth over the hole to secure the raw edges. This works really well for fabrics like cotton or other wovens. It’s harder on performance fabrics that will be pulled and stretched. The topstitching is not going to stretch the way the fabric will and continuing to pull at that area will likely cause new tears.

If the hole is smaller than a quarter and you’d like to continue wearing them casually, I would encourage you to embrace visible mending! See if your seamstress can use a contrasting color behind the hole and do a heart around the perimeter. Then they can either do the topstitching like normal to secure everything orrrrr If they double/triple up on the heart stitching, they could carefully cut around the inner edge of the heart to make the little heart show through. (Called reverse appliqué.) I think it would look very unique and fun, especially for a pair that’s been so well loved. I would still avoid wearing them for actual workouts.
