I also don’t know what is happening with the clothing industry where everything is cheaply made now. I remember buying a Michael Kohrs shirt years ago at a Ross and it was so well made. It fell nicely on me. Now some shirts just plain suck man. I also feel like no one is really designing clothes that fit plus size women really well in tne $-$$ range. everything is fucking junk. I get these weird tiny holes in all my shirts around belly level. Or nothing is ever true to size. On my top half I’m anywhere between medium-2xx with some brands. I just want everything to be one standard size. Fuck European size. Give me Mexican sizes. Lol I need clothes that fit my tits, thighs and ass well.

Uo: I really really really don’t like talking parenting in real life or here. Mostly I could handle my Bmb when I was pregnant because I was mostly whining about all of it. But once kid was born I wanted to keep talking about myself, but it was threads upon threads of kid talk, parenting. And that stuff bores me to death. I love my kid, but I can’t talk about her all the time. Moty Me too. The worst is when I am out with friends who are also moms and we can't seem to stop talking about kids and parenting. Ugh. Like come on heifers I am here out with you all to escape this. So I have a group of former co-workers that I have to say lately I prefer hanging out with because they are all either single or married with no children. I go out with my friends from college and they always want me to bring S or chat about her. I’m like, “I came here to take shots, please spare me for a moment”.

I rarely have lunch or go out with work folks because I don't want to talk about work shit ALL.THE.TIME. I give no fucks that Debra showed up 3 minutes late again Susan. Let me eat in peace without having to talk about this shit for 30 minutes.

I do strongly believe people are peer pressured into buying tings they don’t need or can’t afford, just for the internets sake. But why do you think that? I tend to assume everyone here is an adult and can decide how they want to spend their money, whatever their budget. I have definitely bought things I don't need, but to say you (general you) thinjs people are buying things they can't afford is... IDK. Doesn't sit right.

I don't have bugs in my house!!!!!! well, I do, but the exterminator kills them. I think it's holes created by rubbing on jeans buttons. That's what google convinced me of. Always tiny holes in the same area of multiple shirts over the years. I've read its from a seatbelt/rubbing on buttons combo. My mind was blown

I always go cheap with sunglasses. Bc I scratch the lenses all the time. I go cheap for this reason, and also because my giant head winds up cracking the sides sometimes. Or I just flat out lose them.

i like my body. I don’t have any complexes about how my body is shaped. But i get pissed mad when I have to trh clothes on. One size 14 jeans fit me good, but the other ones can’t get passed my knees. Then one size 16 fits loose and the one is tight. So I’m like can I get a size 15? Lol Honestly if I had all the money I’d just hire someone to make all my clothes from scratch how I like them and never buy anything ever again.

My son has all my husband's old bedroom furniture and it is study and solid. My daughter's new stuff is shit in comparison. An old school desk and chairs is such better quality than KitchenKraft.

McBenny, I'm with you on this. If someone says I want $500 Tom Ford glasses and you say well I got these great Prada ones for $350, I feel that's a reasonable response. It's definitely not on the same level as suggesting $30 H&M. Obviously. No one is disputing that. The originally example was a less than $100 purse when the budget was $300-$400. IIRC McBenny asked if suggesting a less than $100 purse was unreasonable.

I might still spend $400, but more options are better!

Not saying you are wrong.
There's definitely a lot of options, but they frequently don't go on sale as frequently - or as cheaply - as standard sizes, and are sometimes more difficult to track down in a variety of options. So for those who have Old navy/target/ross sale budgets, even those "sales" aren't that good.

New UO - I don’t like sleeping with a top sheet. I prefer just the duvet I know this is a thing, but it sounds so uncomfortable to me. I bought Parachute sheets and I was mildly annoyed I had to pay extra to include a top sheet. I need layers. I start out cold at night, but then I get warm and end up tossing the duvet to the end of the bed. Without that top sheet I'd just be lying there all exposed. I can't do it. Everything below the neck must be under a cover of some sort.

Mia did the $-$$ thing so I meant lower cost.

I mean when you say things like I am not always looking for the lowest cost option, you make it sound like it's a dirty thing. I would just like it to be noted that if I recommend something it's because I have first hand knowledge about it and I didn't land on the item because it was LOW COST. It's also not meant to insinuate that you spend your money will nilly. I felt like it might be a good deal and I am TRYING TO SHARE A GOOD DEAL. FFS No one said it’s a dirty thing. I clip coupons for my groceries but if I want to buy Tom Ford shades I will. I’m not following and I feel like you are creating the negative connotation. Yes, it can be both.

While I am not quite plus size, I could not agree with you more. It's a huge hole in the fashion industry right now. I watch a lot of plus sized fashion you tube channels because I feel like a lot of the advice is applicable to me with having some harder- to - fit parts. Most of the stunning looking/ well made plus clothing is $$$. It's harder to get away with something that is cheaply made when you have a larger frame because I find myself constantly worried I will bust a seam. The plus sized industry also tends to design for the "ideal" plus sized shape-flat middle with large chest and rounded hips- which is also the way that most plus sized models are shaped. Not a UO, just an observation.

If I can bring my children, chances are I don't want to go. We were just invited to a friend's house to celebrate his wife's birthday and he was "bring the kids". Umm, no thanks.

The sharing of actual real life experience is always super helpful. I just don't think it's personal if they don't take your advice and buy something different. I really enjoy your ability to find deals and dupes. I think a lot of people do. But sometimes I know that I think well, if Brand X is $50 and Brand Y is $15, there has to be something that makes Brand X better and I can afford it, so I'm going to buy it. My human brain knows that the increased price is mostly due to good marketing and nothing tangible, but my lizard brain usually takes over and forces me to buy the expensive, shiner thing. I didn't say anyone had to take anyone's advice.
If I know that brand X and brand Y are made at the same place by the same people with the same stuff then???...I will just keep my mouth shut from this point forward.
I don't UO here but I am bored at work today and saw this. I had to comment b/c I was in the SUV thread and specifically added the Traverse to my list of cars to test drive b/c of your review. I even argued with MH about it last night b/c he said he didn't like Chevys and I said "well it has great reviews and it's less expensive than the other cars on my list!" The only review I read was yours. So I, for one, hope you don't keep your mouth shut.

And how I’m making it sound like a bad thing. I don’t know
