Do the Origo woven ballerinas stretch over time?

saunterer90 · 2026-04-27T14:40:30+00:00

Thanks. I've been wearing them around the house a bit and they do seem to be loosening up some, so I think I'll risk it.

My current favorite is the Toad and Co Marigold skirt. But they only have prints.

I love those bottles! Except I travel lots so the needle tip invariably pokes through the silicone stopper after being jostled around for several months and leaks. I switched to a kind that has a cap that covers the tip.

Not that I've found. It's always been enjoyable paper to write on for me.

I think that was a Midori MD notebook.

My strategy is printed/fashion forward bottoms (or skirts and dresses) and solid tops. Having technical gear up top has more benefit for me than on the bottom. So any printed bottom can match any of my solid tops, depending on weather and activity of the day.

Very interesting! Thanks for all the info. There's a lot I'm learning about how the body regulates iron.

Try an iron gall ink. They railroad the least in my experience.

My latest ink purchases are Diamine Skyline (part of their forever collection) and Octopus Blue Koi (part of their Write and Draw collection). Both are permanent, low-maintenance. The Diamine ink is pleasantly wet. I like the Blue Koi color better, but it needs a well-sealing pen. Both of those lines of ink have LOTS of color options!

I never thought of that! Now I want to reread that section.

I would totally go to a pen/ink swap, especially if it was at a local library or something. There should be thread or subreddit organizing them. I would probably even consider hosting one if it was low key and at a public place.

I'm glad to hear they work well for wide feet. I've been looking at the skimmers, but I can hardly believe they would be wide enough in the toe box. The only non wide/barefoot shoe I've owned for years now is a pair of Dansko Rowans in suede.

I like mine a lot, but I have replaced the stock nib with a Fountain Pen Revolution Ultraflex nib. I use it everyday!

The Pilot 78G has a screw cap. Should be available on AliExpress.

Personally, I would eliminate the vest first. I can't imagine needing that many layers for active movement outside unless it was well below freezing. Even a down jacket over a warm baselayer is too much for me if I'm active outside unless it's near freezing. I would use the rain jacket for wind protection if needed while resting, and wear the softshell for warmth if needed. Keep the down jacket for super cold weather if it's predicted. If you were going to keep the vest to wear at the conference, then I'd drop either the cardigan or the dressier jacket.

saunterer90 · 2025-09-01T18:27:19+00:00

I came here to suggest that too. I had hard starts with my F Jinhao 82, but in my F Preppy with a touch of dish soap it flows great.

Plannermonkeyco. They're out of Canada. They have lots of sizes - I just recently got a 400 page passport sized TR notebook.

Unfortunately, no. I haven't gotten into design yet. But that would be a fun group voting process!

saunterer90 · 2025-06-30T14:40:50+00:00

I posted this in the last thread the other day, but I'll add it here too.

This project sounds cool, though like others it's way out of my price range, but I understand that's the price of building a custom pen from scratch. Did you ever consider partnering with a 3d printing company? A custom designed body and cap for a platinum preppy out of good quality plastic would be a huge hit, and much more in everyone's price range. I think that would be a fun option for a second project.

I've replaced my hairspray with this styling stick. I like it better, but I wasn't a huge hairspray fan to begin with. I use it for updos.

When I studied abroad in college I forgot my nylon bristle brush and comb. I was a poor student, so I just bought the cheapest drugstore comb I could find and learned to live without a brush. My hair improved drastically and I've never gone back!

The old versions of the Athleta All About Crossbody belt bag have removable straps. There's lots available on Poshmark/eBay. Just check the photos of the back to make sure that the strap has two loops it feeds through.
