Where do you guys pick up your underwear (mostly looking for thongs and boyshorts—basic cotton stuff, but lace and whatever else too 😍), without it costing an absolute fortune? Like, actually reasonable prices. To be honest, I haven't really bothered looking through the usual big-box stores lately, so if they have anything decent at H&M or somewhere similar, let me know. 🙂
I'm usually a size 12, maybe a 14 depending on how the cut is.
Looks like we’re in the same size range (🙂 ). I usually grab mine from ASOS. They actually have very little in stock right now, which is weird. Otherwise, their 3-packs of cotton boyshorts go for about $$23 and they're great—super comfy and soft.

I'm a size 112 in the hips, so I honestly have no clue what size to grab—it feels like everything depends on the cut and the fabric. I really love that super tight fit. I was browsing the MANGO site earlier and they have some cute stuff. Does anyone know how long shipping usually takes, and can I actually return them if they don't fit right?
About 4-5 business days. You can definitely return anything that doesn't work out.👍
I don't get why you're worried about pale legs (no matter the month). They should be tanned, right? If you prefer them lighter, just buy a shorter pair. 🙂
And if they really need to be tan, you could try creams, oils, sprays, or tanning lotions. There are so many good ones out there now, unlike back in the day when everyone just left ugly orange streaks all over their bodies. Artdeco, for instance, has a leg spray in several shades that looks totally natural.

Need advice and suggestions on what to wear over it. The wedding is in May, so it'll be chilly and I need some kind of layer. Is a blazer too formal? I'm looking at this or this
I have the exact same dress, except mine is shorter—just below the knee. 🙂 It's really comfy and unique 🙂
I wore a black blazer over mine, totally professional vibes, with those horizontal youthful cutouts on the shoulders and it worked great 👍 Down below, I paired it with these black sandals.
The new Lookov 18 runs pretty big—it’s more like a 48-50 than a 46. Check the actual measurements for the 16 and 18 on ASOS and compare them 🙂 Also, their dresses tend to be quite loose around the top.
For wide feet—tons of online shops carry "wide fit" shoes, both dressy and casual, so they'll actually be comfortable for wider feet. Even Next carries an extra wide option.
I don't think there's an M&S in Seattle, at least I haven't seen one.
Finally found some cute tailored trousers that don't look like carrot pants. Mango Violeta 🙂 (online only). Sizes 46, 48, and up actually fit true to size. They're gorgeous, high quality, and perfect for work or anything more formal. They have a sale going on right now, so I got mine for $56.
