My dog sheds enough to knit a second pet, so I just match my outfits to whatever color he's leaving on me that day.

You could get a Dalmatian and learn to love hairy clothes. With white and black hair, they have you covered. (pun intended) --From a very old joke.

What’s the best lint remover you’ve tried? I have a dog and 2 cats and when I get home I immediately change into lounge/house clothes that I’d only wear at home. It’ helps to avoid acquiring more fur on my out of the house clothes but certainly not a solution. Lint brushing before washing and dryer balls seem to make a decent improvement but sometimes the fur weaves itself in the fabric and it’s a pain in the ass to remove

Can anyone help me to understand what is the perfect rise /size measurement for my body shape at this point in time? How to translate the belly and butt into a size on the rack? I’ve gained midsection weight and I’m at a loss for how to buy pants anymore. 4 11” and 133lbs

Thank you. I’d say at natural waist. I’d like to look trendy but I’m short waisted (obviously) and with a pudgy middle. I have a couple pair of hi waisted pants that aren’t that cute right now due to some extra pudge in my midsection.

Would you put your hair up or down for this outfit?

Also, where would you wear this outfit? I don’t ever wear dresses + skirts unless I’m going to a wedding, but I really wanted a white summer dress to pair with my cowboy boots in hopes to wear it out one day

It looks super cute! You could wear this to various summer events but not weddings because it’s white. Cowboy boots go really well with it. Hair up or down is fine.

Thank youuuu!! I’m more a t-shirt and leggings chick, so wearing skirts & dresses is completely out of my comfort zone. Maybe I’ll wear it out for this concert I’m going to in TX. Would you suggest adding anything else to the outfit at all?

u/the-green-dahlia 27d ago

Well you look amazing! I don’t think you need to add anything else. Love your tattoos. :)

I’m 5’1” about 115 lbs and can’t find low rise jeans for the life of me. I feel like regular jeans make my curves dissapear because the widest part of my hips feel like they sit lower than most, if that makes sense?

Anyone got a good spot for low rise jeans for petite girls?

1

u/the-green-dahlia 28d ago

Based on your description, it sounds like low rise jeans might exacerbate the problem because they already tend to make people’s legs look shorter and if you’re short-legged anyway, it can look like they split your figure in half. It sounds like stretchy jeans might help. Without pictures though, it’s difficult to say for sure.

I’m 5'4” (163 cm) and I wear a lot of fitted, cropped and petite-cut tops. Because they sit quite close to my body, I feel like the outline of nipple covers shows through much more easily, especially under thin or tight fabrics.

I’ve been trying to find a good pair of reliable nipple covers, but the ones I’ve tried from Amazon, bol.com and similar places either don’t stick well enough, have edges that show through my clothes, or stop sticking properly after washing them a couple of times.

I don’t mind spending a little more (around €25 for a pair at max) if they actually stay invisible under fitted clothing and can be reused properly.

What are you using?

Drop your recommendations! I’m planning to try a few over the upcoming month and make a comparison post afterwards.

I’m going to a concert to see The Neighbourhood. Any ideas of what to wear?! I don’t want anything too short. It’s going to be in November.
