I've followed the advice that curvy people should wear high-waisted pants, especially as I have a bit of a belly and it makes me more comfortable to have a thicker fabric covering my stomach rather than a line visually cutting it in half and bringing attention to that area. But as a shortie, how do I tuck in clothes without looking like I'm half boob and half leg?

Do I add a belt? Is there a specific tucking technique that's supposed to look good (I've tried both French tuck and tucking in the whole thing shirt all the way around). Do I leave my tops untucked, so the shirt stops at my hips? Should I just wear dresses 24/7?

For reference, I'm 5'0" and ~150lb, size 8-10 (medium), chest 37", waist 30", hips 38", inseam 27". Not really sure if this problem is happening because I have a short torso or short legs or both. I am correctly fitted for a bra.

I’d like to try wearing something that isn’t jeans or jean shorts + a tshirt. I’ve posted the other bottom options I have, but have never really tried wearing them as I don’t know what to pair. The following images are all my top options. Any ideas on what to bring to London in August for 2 weeks? What would you pair with a skirt or trouser?

I live in jeans and a tshirt. I own some skirts and pants that I never hear because I don’t understand what pairs with them. I’ve posted images of my clothing items, could I have some ideas or fashion info on how you all style skirts and pants that aren’t jeans?

Bored on a Sunday night and thought of a little game we could all play together. Post an image of your favorite bag and tell us what you like about it, and then someone comments with a bag they think you might like!

If you're leaving a top comment, please try to comment in response to someone else's post as well so it's not just people asking and no one giving suggestions lol

Hi all, I'm trying to train my eyes and QC skills on rep CDs and I'm looking at this one and questioning the stitching. The leather and puffiness looks good to me (but open to feedback if I'm missing something). When I compare against what I believe to be an auth from a youtube review, I see how the stitching goes very close into the bottom corners of the bag whereas on the rep it's not going into the corner, and where the stitching meets the grommets also seems off compared to auth. They're both small lady d-joys, but I'm not sure if the one in the image represents an older model or if the stitching and design of the d-joy has changed? The auth is from 2 years ago.

I've also included an image of a GF d-joy that also doesn't seem to have corner stitching that matches up properly but it does line up the stitching with the grommets like the auth.

And then I have a photo from the website that shows the same as the God stitching.

Someone tell me if I'm going crazy? Are there any other observations I should look out for?

This LV Denim Nano Noe is available for $130 shipped.

RFS: I've realized I'm not a big fan of denim bags as I don't know how to style them, plus I already own a small blue leather bucket bag so I feel like they're competing in serving the same purpose in my closet. I think it's a perfect summer bag for a new owner though!

I will ship out next day at the latest.

• Purchased BNNU from a rehomer in this group
• Factory undisclosed
• Used once (I still have tape on the side pulls lol whoops)
• Small scratch shown in comments next to the button (hard to see irl and not noticeable when worn)

Sold to me as mid/high tier, but please do your own QC and request any additional photos you'd like. No returns or refunds. Once shipped, the bag is no longer my responsibility.

This LV Denim Nano Noe is available for $130 shipped OR I'll trade for your bag!

I'm on the lookout for a high-tier small powder pink Lady D and would add cash to my side if you're interested in trading. Or... show me what you got and I'll consider!

I feel like I never see these come up for rehome! Such a perfect summer bag, and one of the few I've seen that really gets the chain length and size right.

RFS: I've realized I don't really know how to style denim with my wardrobe, so I haven't been reaching for it.

I feel like I never see these? It’s perfect for summer and the few reps I’ve seen don’t get the chain length and size as correct as this one does. RFS I don’t know how to pair denim with my outfits so I’m not reaching for it.

$125 + ship, purchased bnnu from a rehomer here, factory undisclosed, I used once and there’s a small scuff in pic 10

Id also trade + $ towards a high tier small pink lady d! Maybe open to other trades too :)

This kind of sky blue in the dress is my absolute favorite color but I don’t own any bags like that. Second pic is the blue bags I own and they’re both kind of a muted color that don’t go well… any ideas? Shoulder or crossbody purse that works as a fancy evening purse preferred

Redesigning my dining room and looking for layout help. The chandelier is centered to the room, but the back wall has a doorway that breaks it up, so the chandelier doesn't line up with the center of that partial wall. Should my art, table, and rug be centered to the chandelier or to the wall? Including photos of the current space and my design inspo. Open to any other feedback on how to improve the space as well :)

You all were very helpful with my entryway yesterday, I'd love some help tackling my barren dining room, too. I posted a couple pictures of the space plus some inspiration of my preferred style - elements of cozy elevated modern neutrals.

Looking for suggestions that don't involve replacing the dining table/chairs or painting, ideally.

I'm planning on putting up a painting (lmk if the spacing and size looks good? Each panel is 18" x 36" and I put the middle at 60" height). Does it look bad without a gold frame?

My confusion with the dining room is that my chandelier is center to the room, but there's a half wall which makes the placement of the dining table a bit awkward. Should I center the dining table to the painting or to the light? Or should the painting AND table be center to the chandelier instead of the wall?

I know my rug is undersized, so what kind of rug would work for the space and how big should it be? Is the one in my concept image on the right track?

Any other suggestions of what should go into this room? Maybe there should be a big plant in the corner, or some kind of shallow 9" buffet table and mirror on the right-side wall where there's currently a box on the floor? A painting or full-size mirror on that 72" wall?

We decided we'll stay in this apartment for a while, so it's time to switch out some of our random hand-me-down IKEA furniture and make our space more cohesive. I wanted to start with this entryway because it's a first impression and the console table just embarrasses me honestly. I've pasted photos of the space. The nook for the console table is 20in deep and 36in wide. We don't have a great shoe storage solution in the closet, and our shoes mostly get dropped around this area.

I've also included photos of my Pinterest board - I'm not sure how to describe my preferred style but I like elements of cozy elevated modern neutrals.

Then I've included some photos of items that I think may work in this space, but I'd love opinions on whether they work, if it's necessary, where they should be, if there's something better... All the console tables I'm finding are 31.5"W, is that too thin for a 36" space? Do we need a rug or not really?

Then some mockups, forgive me for having no photoshop skills. Am I on the right track with something here? If we're looking to minimize how much we spend, what changes would make the biggest differences?

I'm looking for a wallet that's a cute light color or print, has a way to attach my keys, a dedicated spot for an ID (ideally an ID window, but easy access is fine), at least 3 slots for my most-used cards (corp, credit, debit), room for ~4 less-used cards (insurance, extra IDs, etc.), a place for cash and coins, and is relatively slim/small. Bonus if it has dividers for organization.

I've looked at the wallets in the images because I like that they have a zip pocket for coins. My issue with the Coach zip-around is that there isn't a great key solution... I'd want to use the inner pocket for cash/coins/cards, so my only option seems to be attaching keys to the chain, which feels a bit long. It also doesn't have any divider or card slots in the main compartment, which I'd ideally use to separate extra cards from cash/coins.

The Recto Verso seems pretty close functionally (good key setup + 4 card slots on the back, no ID window but I'll live), but I haven't seen it in lighter colors.

The Coach Mini Skinny ID also has a good key setup and ID window, but the zipper opening seems short and potentially annoying to get things in and out of (I think I'd prefer zip-around for this reason), plus it only has 2 external card slots + the ID window. It's nice that I'd be able to attach the keys and then put them inside the zipper pocket if I need to protect the inside of a bag.

Does what I'm looking for actually exist? I don't mind if it's no-name or designer.
