They aren't super tight around the ankles, which is honestly how I prefer them anyway. I'm not exactly an expert at posting links, but here is one just in case: http://www2.hm.com/en_eur/productpage.0399667005.html By the way, their standard XL runs huge when it comes to these stretchy items, so don't stress too much about the sizing. Even if you don't want to deal with online ordering, you can definitely grab some in-store. That goes for their dresses and tunics, too!
They look cute, definitely a solid summer duo. Asking about sizes because if anyone has them... I'm a size 52, should I go for a 3XL? Getting to the mall in the suburbs is such a trek since I don't drive, even though I'd love to just go try them on in person...
Looking for some black mako incense. Used to be able to find it at places like C&A or Takku, but now? Nowhere to be found. It’s my absolute favorite for summer vibes. If anyone spots some, let me know... Also, does anyone know where to grab long-staple cotton (like mako or viscose dresses)? Thanks, ladies.
Ladies, I need some incense, help! Last year I picked up some at the local boutique, but they're totally out this year. Black ones, long sticks. When I wear these knee-length ones, I look like such a bum 🤦 Checked the farmers market too, nothing 🙂
Sam Martin said:Every single C&A in the mall districts has a dedicated plus-size section, just like Takko Fashion does... Even in the new CC1 East location, you'll find plus-size departments at both H&M and C&A... I actually stopped by Oltre, which I think someone mentioned, but honestly, there isn't nearly as much variety as people make out, and Ulla Popken is just way too expensive!!!
I popped into that Oltre yesterday and basically walked right back out... couldn't find anything in "my" size, everything was tiny. Totally thought I was tripping and misread the sign. Am I crazy???

Hey... anyone seen any cute classic black or denim skirts out there in a size 14+? Should I actually go out and buy a decent swimsuit?
Where can I find some decent clothes? Not the grandma stuff for my nana who’s headed in for surgery, but something that'll make the local boys' jaws drop when they see me walking by... Looking at the options here in the States, man, my head is spinning 🙂
placidcanyon2 said:Anyone know where I can grab a novelty hammer that actually makes a glass-shattering sound when you hit something? Looking to pick one up somewhere around Chicago or maybe Springfield.
Saw something at the local hobby shop over in the mall area.
Anyway, where can I find an old-school analog scale? You know, the kind with a needle, not those digital ones...
Came home yesterday from my dad’s farm, hopped on the bus, and man, my back was absolutely killing me. I was already losing it because he didn't get his insurance paperwork—some thieves raided his place and took everything, so now he's just stuck... Anyway, I see an empty seat and start heading toward it, but this little brat lunges forward and sits right in front of my face. And there's another mini hooligan sitting behind her, too. They just stare at me and laugh. My blood pressure was hitting the ceiling... I'm telling myself, "just chill, don't make a scene." But honestly? I was so pissed I wanted to grab them both by the collar and just lose it... 😠 I told my husband, if we fail as parents and raise kids like "this," I'm gonna whip myself with a belt before I even touch him.
Man, it seriously gets on my nerves how everyone acts like such a drama queen... constant "be careful," "don't get stressed," blah blah blah. Then they hit me up with all this mindless gossip about who said what, expecting me to play therapist when they don't even want advice, just an audience. Honestly, I'm over it... I've got enough on my own plate, and you guys are collectively driving me crazy... 😠😠😠
cosmicviper21 said:Honestly, if you’re an expecting mom, don't let people like this get under your skin, because their opinions are just noise and frankly, they’d probably be better off not having kids anyway 🙄 personally, I couldn't care less what they think, though I have to admit even I get triggered sometimes when I see parents who just completely tune out their kid's crying or let them act out like total brats, which is something I absolutely won't stand for, it's honestly just sad ☕
I mean, look, everyone has boundaries, but what they're saying is just on a whole different level...
Check 😠 (starting from post 3006) Seriously, go ahead and read up... I don't owe anyone an apology just because I'm pregnant and becoming a mom, ugh... 😠
So Foresst, did you finally pop? 😁 Just kidding, lady. My sister keeps bugging me because she’s bored, asking when I'm gonna have the baby. Like, what does she think is gonna happen? Magic? It’s not like I’ll be heading straight from the hospital to the local zoo with a newborn... My mom’s been on my case lately too, which honestly helps, she even sends over lunch sometimes, but how am I supposed to tell her she can't just move in for a month once I'm home or when things get busy... I'm definitely not the first person to be stuck at home with a tiny infant...
Ever since my first checkup with Dr. Wahid—who was such a breath of fresh air during my pregnancy—I’ve just stopped overthinking everything. He basically told me, "Look, you're a mom now; stop being so hard on yourself and fight for your kid, it's totally normal."
And man, I gotta mention all those judgmental old ladies constantly digging into my business while I was pregnant. Like, seriously? It's like they think every pregnant woman forty years ago was out there tilling fields or something... was the whole country just one giant farm back then or what?! 😕
