Thanks! 🙂
Are you happy with those bodysuits you ordered?

Hey everyone! Just popping in to say hi—hope you’re all having an absolutely wonderful day so far! ✨ Honestly, I was just sitting here thinking about how much I love this community. Isn't it just the best? Anyway, sending nothing but good vibes and big smiles your way! 😊 kaže:
So, what’s the damage now? Like, seriously—what are we actually looking at for the price tag these days? 😁 We don't have that shop around here... but I did a quick Google search—turns out they have one over at the Modani in the Mercator mall! 😁

I only had a chance to peek at a few one-piece suits—and oh my gosh, the prices! They were anywhere from $230 up to... well, you can imagine! $90.

Jessica Brown5 said:Awesome, please check it and let me know! 😉

So, I was hanging out at the mall today!
Skinny has these Pletix swimsuits and lingerie pieces in stock.
They're actually having a 30% off sale right now—isn't that perfect timing? 😲

Jessica Brown5 said:Where can I find those Pletix swimsuits? I'm based in a small town outside of Chicago, and the closest Pletix store would be way over in downtown Chicago. 😢 Do they maybe sell them in other shops? 🙂

I was at the Avenue Mall in Chicago yesterday and I'm pretty sure I spotted Pletix in one of the windows! I can't remember exactly which shop it was, but I'll check it out over the next few days and let you know—who knows, maybe that shop has a location in the Avenue Mall in Osijek too! 🤷

I placed the order on Sunday, and then this yellow slip showed up yesterday, but I didn't even get home to grab it until Monday. So, now we wait—once I figure out if it’s actually my little package or just one of those other things I’ve got coming, I'll let you 😉 know.

As for those jeans, though... honestly, you already know exactly what my answer would be and where I'd go looking for them. 😉

You haven't even told us yet if you're happy with what you ordered!

Dana Wilson said:Man, if you were closer, I’d be over there giving you the biggest hug ever, maybe even dragging you along to grab some of the best pastries in town 😍
Finally found that bodysuit I’ve been hunting for... so yeah, I am officially hepiiiiiii yippeeee 😁

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to ask—where on earth did you pick up that sweater? It is absolutely adorable!

I just can't seem to track down a decent pair of jeans—you know, the real deal...
Plus, I'm hunting for a lightweight jacket for this weird transitional weather we're having...
but without looking like a total grandpa.

I usually wear a size 18 (which I think translates to a 46 or 48), but I find myself grabbing a 48 or 50 in jackets.

Dana Wilson said:Do they actually have a website? I was hunting around for one but came up empty...

I can't find it either, sorry!
I know I bought one of their swimsuits at Nordstrom.

Dana Wilson said:Is Crodel just some brand Badić uses over at Pletix?

Nope!
Just like Pletix, Crodel is actually an American manufacturer too—they're totally separate entities!

Dana Wilson said:Oh hey, I see there's one in my city too, though I’ve actually never stepped foot inside... 😉I'll probably head over and check it out sometime soon, then I'll let you guys know what I think.

So, about two years ago, I picked up a swimsuit from Target—it was super affordable and the quality was actually really solid!

Dana Wilson said:So, what even is Pletix, and where did they vanish to? 🤷

They actually have some really cool designs—I picked up two of their bodysuits last year and honestly? I’m super happy with them!

Sam Clark said:I’m asking my fellow residents here in Seattle to point me toward somewhere I can actually find decent pants or a shirt in a reasonable size—specifically a US 18-20—because I am officially at my wit's end. I swung by Marks & Spencer, and frankly, I couldn't bring myself to spit $333 for a single pair of trousers and a blouse..
Huge thanks for closing down D. Perkins, too; now I don't even have a reliable spot for pants 😢 This city is honestly exhausting..

Wait, did D. Perkins carry larger sizes?
I usually grab my size 18 pants at M&S, and if they have an elastic waistband, I can even squeeze into a 16.

I need some help here!

Where can I find some lightweight transitional pieces for my wardrobe?

About 90% of my closet is from Marks & Spencer—with the rest coming from places like Nordstrom, Old Navy, or just various catalogs. For tops or shirts, I’m usually a size 12, and for sweaters—depending on the cut—I fall between a Large and an XL.

I’m looking specifically for those perfect mid-season layers that work for the office but won't break the bank. Any suggestions?
