Would I, a size 12/14 woman, feel stupid in anthropologie? It looks like such a cool place but maybe too cool for the non skinny peeps like myself.

As a shrinking formerly obese person, I don't know where to shop. Before I didn't have many options. Sorry lane Bryant, too small for you now!

The website shows sizes going up to 16. But you could browse the housewares section, it's a little too cute and over-priced but I like checking it out for ideas. And the housewares type stuff is scattered through out the store so you can look at stuff next to the clothing and check out the clothing at the same time without feeling like you're being judged for looking at clothing that you're not sure if it's gonna fit. (that's needlessly over-thought but when I'm nervous about doing something for the first time I always invent a hopelessly complicated back story just in case someone quizzes me about what I'm doing. It's kinda ridiculous and neurotic)

Now for my regular fuckmylife post. The meeting missed on Tuesday due to lovely buses I have now missed again today due to lovely buses. This time the first one came but was late so I got to wave at my connecting bus as they passed in the street.

Now stuck for am hour and a half in bumfuck Newtownards.

I'm glad you got a portfolio in Avshalom! How did you end up having to walk so far?

Also have another picture of my fat face cat ball. My mum says he's the ugliest cat she's ever seen but I think she only says it because he is my Dads cat and she hates my Dad.

That blows. :smith: I'm currently sitting on the bus into school late, because this winter has been treating me roughly. It's super crowded even though it's 15 minutes late to the most recent class, and 40 minutes early for the next class. Sometimes missing the bus has an uncrowded silver lining, bit not today.

Anyone you know that can give you a ride? In fortunate enough that most of the time when I need it, my lovely fiancee can give me a ride.

nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room
I bought a lip stain that looked like it'd be a nice berry color, but it turned out to be a super bright, almost neon rose pink. Surprisingly, I'm in love with it. I would never have bought it had I known, but it's sort of nice not having a goth mouth

I've completely converted from gothy colors to hot pinks, something about them just works for me right now. Plus I'm totally planning on becoming one of those fabulous old ladies who rocks the ridiculous lip colors and gives no fucks.

ladythread i'm intimidated by ylls and need to buy a flat iron (my hair is shoulder-length and now the longest it's been in like five years).

unfortunately i was a major tomboy growing up and everything i can find on google is telling me that if i don't spend like three hundred dollars on an iron that was personally forged by a blind virgin in a mountain stream my hair will fall out/melt/explode. I can just buy a mid-range flat iron and use argan oil/hairspray and i'll be fine, right?

Totes. It is a good idea to go to a hair/beauty supply store to get hair/beauty supplies rather than a place like Target/Walmart/etc, but even then it's all good, especially if you're just starting out.

I feel you. I was a huge tomboy and missed the whole high school makeup/makeover phase and it wasn't until I was in my 20's when I really started getting into makeup and hair.

My thing is just experiment. God made makeup remover for a reason. There are also very good tutorials/videos out there.

And, as always, no matter what you do or wear keep in mind if you wear it like you own it, gently caress the rest. I've pulled off some crazy-rear end makeup looks and colors just because I'm like "gently caress yeah, it's going down." and people love it.

Former "eh I brushed it that's good enough i guess" hair chick chiming in - mid-range is good enough. I have a curling iron and a flat iron, and while neither of them are $20 POS you get at Walgreens I certainly didn't go for the ones personally created by Paul Mitchell himself or whatever, and they work fine. My curling iron broke and I even stepped up a bit in price to the next level and noticed no difference. just don't go crazy with it and end up drying the hell out of your hair, that's not helpful at all for the frizzies

Although it's funny because now I have the tools I never use them because I figured out how to embrace my natural curl/wave and make it look pretty with absolute minimum fussing because while I still put effort into my hair it's mighty hard to put in THAT much time. It looks way better though, and isn't a tangled mass of split ends and frizz anymore.

Yeah, it's actually a really weak call (there's not even any precipitation yet) but they called it too late last week and there were like over 400 wrecks so they're really erring on the side of caution this week. OK, by me tho', this week kicked my rear end and I'm tired.

Fake edit: Hey, a red bellied woodpecker just took a few taps on the mostly dead tree in my front yard! It looked just like this:

They really need to change that policy. I get that there would be more days called if they did it every time there were six inches of snowfall, but can't businesses just accept that's the price they pay for being located in loving Minnesota? But no, instead you better be out there at 3 AM shoveling out your alley so you can trundle onto the road and maybe make it to work without dying of a car crash. Dying of the cold is also possible so don't break down!
