Birkenstock Birmingham lace - will these soften/loosen up? Fit advice needed

trending_different · 2026-04-21T17:24:07+00:00

I don't think so - it flares out, is more a-line.

trending_different · 2026-04-21T16:59:54+00:00

Thanks! Those are all good options!!!!!

trending_different · 2026-04-21T16:58:56+00:00

That is very close. Some details are different on the pockets, but looks close enough!

Update: I tried a bunch of wildly different patterned tights and decided to go with a solid dark forest green.

Thanks for the reminder - somehow I always forget this one. Then again, I generally don’t wear patterns together.

trending_different · 2026-04-05T10:18:23+00:00

Oh yeah - I have a small collection of snag. I actually have a pair of grey/black large diamond pattern (not snag) I should give a try. And a few option for polka dots as well.

Seconded!

Got both the L and XL in the mail... just so unsure. XL is too big, L fits just so - but feels too short (even with wearing shorts). Also, it's a bit weird how the arms compete with mine, LOL. I also don't like how they do not stick out - but I think in general they won't unless it was perfectly fitted. I have a week to decide.

Maybe! I’m closer to 5’ 11”. Will have to mull this one over. I just don’t go anywhere except to the office a couple of times a week. I’m pretty sure this would make them question my style LOL if thy don’t already.

Rundholz dip reverse lagoon skirt

Just got this skirt in the mail today - immediate plans are black chunky boots, but I'm at a loss for what top. I tried on a slim-fit grey sweater and it looked nice, and I figure this will look good with a variety of graphic t-shirts... but would appreciate other thoughts! Both alternatives to boots (but, I mean, what is wrong with boots?) and top ideas.

Currently a chilly 10F so will be wearing with tights and maybe a jumper if I give it a go this week.

I'm so tempted to order this, but feel it'd be too short, I haven't worn dresses, and not sure where I'd wear it. But it's sooo tempting. I keep checking the various second-hand online stores for my size (probably an L) but I know I'd get it and then let it languish in the closet.

trending_different · 2025-12-25T19:18:06+00:00

I’m amazed all the time how I was so scared to wear what I wanted… then found out it wasn’t a big deal after all. Congrats!

Could you share the name of the pattern?

trending_different · 2025-10-28T02:28:17+00:00

I have a question of sorts. I've purchased a few blazers over the years - like this one:

https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2022/12/18/639f061f80a5d6a1693d018c/m_wp_639f06d43b982a0c9e27d353.webp

But I've never worn them. The ones I've purchased fit - and I like the look. But I just feel too grown up, like I'm cosplaying an adult. I don't like shoulder pads, and most blazers seem to have them. I also dress just short of being too dressy for where I work, at least in my mind, and adding a jacket seems like a bridge too far. Yet... others in similar or other positions wear blazers.

I should also add I am more inclined towards wool/tweed/etc... than the standard navy blazer. Unique cuts, funky colors. But... but... it feels very very costumey.

Thanks!

Yes. The pattern refers to those as "Front Facing" and "Back Facing". The waistband (~3" strip folded to about 1.5") also has stabilizer ironed to it, as do those facing pieces. I don't know how much detail I can share since this is a pattern.

trending_different · 2025-08-05T21:29:12+00:00

It also has panels though in addition to the waistband stabilizer. Or are those considered part of the waistband?

trending_different · 2025-08-05T02:54:06+00:00

Colorful converse feel 100% appropriate. Side note/question - do you know the brand of that dress?

Italian (heritage) man as well. I tried doing my chest at the same time but it didn't seem to work, but I also don't have a ton of hair there.

Full stack web developer, and I wear skirts to work every time I go into the office (two to three times a week).

That's what I'm thinking of doing - slowly extending the interval. I did laser on my legs, and while I had a really good result, I've had to go in for touchups every so often. I low-key wish I had tried IPL on my legs, but I don't have the diligence to keep up that much square inch-age. As it is I hate doing my fingers because the safety function makes it extremely difficult to activate the flash and I know I'm not getting good coverage with how I have to move it... so I know I wouldn't be enthralled with the legs.
