M: I cleaned out my t-shirt drawer pretty aggressively and now I really need to restock, and I like the scoop neck
A: They look nice but I haven’t tried them.
A: I’m pretty sure Kim France posted that she likes them
M: Yeah I saw that
A: They look slightly dressier which is nice
M: yeah and I like the neckline as an alternative to the v-neck
A: I like a scoop neck but find some of the fancier t-shirt brands (James Perse!) to be aggressively low. Like, hey, I can see my bra.
M: yeah
A: This is partially because I have no shoulders
M: I feel that
A: At some point we should do our spring wish lists. Yours is not allowed to included drawer pulls or light fixtures.
M: hahaha
M: I don’t even know what else I want
A: My list is, like: t-shirts, Birkenstocks, cut-off shorts. The End.
A: Apparently I don’t care about work clothes anymore ever
M: Yeah I mean, same
A: I do want a new pair of Birks and this year I’m going to FIND my shorts
M: I saw some recently that were expensive but looked very promising, let me try and remember
M: We are ignoring the fact that a Kardashian owns this brand okay
A: Um
M: WE ARE
M: I know those are sold out but they look promising!
A: I can’t do a 10.5” rise, girl
M: I believe they are these:
M: Haha yeah it’s aggressive
A: I am too short waisted for those but they do look good
M: I like denim Spanx basically
A: I’m hoping Madewell comes through for me
M: Their shorts have never worked on me
A: Not on me either but I want to believe:
M: Those have an even HIGHER rise
M: 11 3/4!
A: I JUST saw that
A: WTFFFF
M: hahaha
A: They are basically strapless overall shorts
M: That’s what always gets me because they end up being so short on me
M: But in the pic they look long because my eyes are distracted by all that zipper

M: Welp after reading reviews on those Kardashian shorts and finding a pair on posh for $40, looks like I’m trying them
A: Well! I hope you love them. I am going to keep searching.
M: Worth a try I reckon.
M: I measured my go to Pilcro shorts (that are basically disintegrating at this point) and I think they will work
A: Oh, that’s smart. I just need to go try things on in person, probably. My favorite ON shorts do not fit me anymore I think they shrunk because what else could the reason be
M: I’m sure that’s it
M: Trying things on is MUCH more responsible than what I’m doing but WHEN WOULD I DO THAT
A: I mean, it’s not like you have much going on
M: So relaxed!
A: You’re only selling a house, renovating a house, raising two kids and working a demanding full-time job
M: Cool cool cool
A: 90% of the cut off shorts on Anthro are high rise
A: But maybe these?
M: Those have promise!
M: I find I need at least a 5 inch inseam but I’m taller than you
A: The price makes me mad but what can you do
M: I like her shirt
A: Yes! Me too

M: Bad news dude: the Kardashian shorts are great (for me)
M: And so is this stupidly overpriced Spell and the Gypsy shirt:
M: I mean it’s not bad news except for my bank account
A: That is so cute!
M: So pricey tho
M: But I got them both cheap
M: But seriously, great cut and the denim is heavy and substantial
A: Stop making me want them
M: I’m sorrrrrry
M: I guess they do know what a girl with a big ass wants in a pair of shorts
A: 😒
M: Sorrrrry
A: I just don’t want the Kardashians to be right about anything.
M: I know dude. I know.
I have a few Everlane linen tees from a few years back. I loved them, but over time, I noticed that they seemed to be shrinking in length and growing in width (even though I always handwashed and line dried them). Hopefully they've resolved this with their newer line, but just wanted to give you a heads up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning!
DeleteCan I just vent about Madewell for a second? Every time I order something, it is too short and boxy. And the reviews never seem to mention this EVER. I have a friend who always looks cute in stuff, but she is way shorter than I am. I feel like they basically make clothes for petite people, and NO ONE seems to talk about this ever!!!! Argh. I am not super tall- just 5'8". Anyways..
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do still want to hear you guys' review of that central shirt
DeleteI'm posting it today! And I agree with you - I suspect it's because they design a lot of the tops to be worn with high-waisted jeans. I find a lot of tops in general right now to be very, very boxy, which doesn't work for me.
DeleteYeah, that's another vent: I'm one of like 2 people who wish the high-waisted trend would die an immediate and fiery death. DO NOT LIKE
