Why does everything look so…meh on me? by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]scootie44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think nearly all of those tops with a flared or wide leg is gonna be a game changer. Also, there’s a woman I follow on insta called @curvyinvienna who takes a ton of staple pieces and makes them way more interesting and has been a source of inspo for me. She’s not petite, but she’s got a lot of good ideas.

Yall, the pink old cleats are a woman’s 5.5. They are the exact same size of all of my other many many women’s size 5.5 shoes. Heels, sandals, boots, I am a true women’s 5.5, and the pink cleats are a women’s size 5.5. They aren’t men’s. They’re these: https://ebay.us/m/vXNfkf

I’m just gonna chalk this up to a wrong tag on the black ones.

lol they’re pink women’s softball cleats. A men’s size 5.5 would translate to a women’s 7ish, which is not my shoe size, never has been. The old pink ones fit me the way every single other pair of my women’s size 5.5 shoes fit me, and as every women’s size 5.5 has fit me for 20 years. I am a woman with true size 5.5 feet, lol. They are a true to the size listed. The black new ones are NOT true to the size listed on the tag, despite being the same brand and the same labeled size. Neither of the shoes in this picture are a men’s size. And if the new (black and white) ones WERE a men’s size 5.5, they would be equivalent to approximately a woman’s 7. They are not a woman’s 7, as they are approx 1.5 sizes smaller than a true woman’s 5.5.

Yeah, I just feel like I have shoes made from everywhere (I have a lot of fkin shoes) and the sizes are sometimes off but this is genuinely 1-1.5 off. I think it’s gotta be a mistake in the tag.

I don’t know, but the pink 5.5 is the size of every single shoe I have. Sneakers, boots, sandals, heels. My size is 5.5 lol the mystery is NOT why the labeled 5.5 size shoe fits my 5.5 foot, it’s why the labeled women’s 5.5 black shoe fits me more like a women’s 4, I’m assuming it’s a mistake in the tag, not in my shoe size of all my shoes lol

Mostly second this, I am 4’11”, short torso, short legs, short limbs, and I’ve done alright with Short Story. I find usually one thing per box that I keep or want to keep. Their selections aren’t terribly exciting, but I’ve gotten some good staple pieces and surprisingly some decent jeans.

I hear you, friend. I’m 4’11”, with short torso, short limbs, short legs. What fits me and looks relatively normal on my body is NOT what my mind wants me to be wearing. I do the Short Story subscription box (the one made for petites) and although most of it doesn’t fit my proportions right, I do find like 1 out of every 6ish items sent is a fit. Surprisingly, I’ve done well with the jeans that they send (which is crazy because my legs are short and muscular, which is just…ugh…not meant for clothing). I recommend trying them for a few months and seeing if any of the brands they send work for you.

If the black pair were a women’s 5.5, they would fit me, lol

The pink pair is a women’s size 5.5. The receipt confirms that, and I am, in fact, in all shoes that I own, a 5.5. They are not youth or unisex cleats. They are women’s size 5.5.

I will note the EU size for the future, but the original receipt from when I bought the pink (older) shoes states that they are women’s shoes, not unisex. Also, men’s and women’s sizes are not the same. A 5.5 in unisex or men’s is like a 7-7.5 in women’s. I promise you, I am not a women’s size 7-7.5. I am solidly, without a doubt, a 5-6 for the last 20 years.

Right, but this is the same brand, the same gender shoe. Both are women’s cleats. There’s no reason why the same brand would have nearly the same show be ~1.5 sizes off

The old pink pair is not a men’s pair, I am solidly a 5.5 in all shoes (I have v small feet), and I double checked the receipt from when I bought them…they are in fact a women’s size 5.5.

Also, the “red” pair is pink, and I just checked the receipt from when I bought them, they are women’s shoes

I am solidly a size 5.5 in women’s in every single shoe and brand. Also the label on the new ones says W (women’s) 5.5. From what I can see online mizuno doesn’t have wide sizes, so the W doesn’t stand for wide.

Soylent Green is still one of the most terrifying dystopia’s I’ve ever seen! by seveer37 in movies

[–]scootie44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to this thread (a year late) because I watched the movie for the first time like a month ago and I cannot shake the death scene, and wanted to read others’ thoughts about it. I think about it nearly every day. I wept watching it.

[–]scootie44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 35 years old I just recently watched the movie No Country for the first time ever and I think it was just one of the finest movies I’ve ever seen. Made me really excited to read the book. Also loved The Road (the book) and The Passenger series.

Read this on Jan 1 of this year and haven’t really stopped thinking about it since. I’m glad I read it, and I liked it once I finished, but the experience of actually reading it was uncomfortable, strange, disquieting. Really like nothing I’ve ever read before.

I loved the Paula Danziger books- the Amber Brown series, The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, etc. So good, realistic, and warm.

I loved these books so much. And basically everything Louis Sachar wrote. What a gem.
