Why does every v-neck summer dress right now have spaghetti straps, flutter linebacker sleeves, or puff sleeves?

This might be more of a rant but I hate that every summer style v-neck dress I find in stores is spaghetti strap, has those flutter sleeves that make your shoulders look huge, or 3/4 puff sleeves. Like who are these styles made for and flattering on? Not me. Size 12/14 w/ larger bust.

I have a few Boden dresses but having little kids and the mess they come with I try not to wear them all the time. I just want something between Amazon fast fashion and expensive that is quality and comfortable. I’m trying not to slub it in jean shorts and Tshirts all summer but I might have too.

Going back to work w/preschooler

I hope it’s okay I post in this sub, but if not let me know.

I’ve been a SAHM for the last 3.5 years, and in that time I earned a Masters degree to change and enhance my career path. I have had several interviews but not offers yet. I’m still working on my interview skills and prep, and I know that the market is tough.

But I keep thinking if I DO get an offer, how will I navigate the fact I will have to drop off my child at preschool, go get them at 1:00pm to bring them home - and then what?

If it was remote that’s easier but those are hard to get. I’m mostly concerned about what to do if I have a hybrid or in-person role. You can’t bring that up during an interview because then it could be a red flag to not hire you, but idk how to negotiate or say I would need to be at home in the afternoons. Has anyone navigated this? Full time preschool until 3pm isn’t an option for us, FYI. I have considered a nanny share or something in the afternoon but idk about that either.

I’m so anxious about all this because I really want to go back to work, plus curious about my child’s adjustment to preschool. I’ve enjoyed being a SAHM but I’m ready to go back to work for me.

Food diary entries awful with new UI

With this new update I hate how my diary entry’s are not put in order of how I select them. They get all mixed together and it makes it hard to look at my meal at first glance in a list. Same with no multi-add being gone making it easier to track. I have tracked this way to make it make sense in my mind (drinks first, protein second, carbs third, vegetables and fruit last) etc. Not sure if anyone else tracks similar to this but it helps me keep things organized in my mind and a visual list.

They have completely ruined the usability of the most important part of this app - the food diary for more clicks and advertising revenue.

I have 15 years of weight loss data in MFP and I wonder if it’s possible to integrate that data into a new tracking app? So I’m not starting from zero essentially.

The only reason I have stayed with MFP is my data and history I can see. I am aware you can export and save it.
