33 weeks and nothing fits anymore, not wanting to buy new clothes. Any tips?
I totally understand where you are coming from, around the same time as you I had to up the size in my maternity wardrobe...and now that I'm almost 36 weeks I feel I may need to again. It's frusterating thinking you are wasting the money, but unless you want to walk around looking like Pooh bear you will need to shell out some cash. I would get two or three shirts and rotate them, then just do laundry every few days. I only bought three maternity shirts in a larger size and my hub does laundry twice a week (I wear the shirts twice unless they get really dirty). You can get some good deals at JCPenny (often clearance shirts are $5-10). Good luck!
Secret Clinical Strength is not working anymore?
I sweat constantly and if I wear close fitting shirts that fit normally and not incredibly baggy, I constantly get huge pools of water in my underarms. I'm so sick of it. I began using Sec. Clin. Strength and for the first week or two it worked but not anymore I used regular deodorant during the day as well. I shower often and have no hair there. .Why did it stop working? Is there anything else that is safe and will always work?
NONE of my clothes fit me anymore?
Hello & welcome to puberty.
My brother in law’s girlfriend bought me two very nice shirts for Christmas. They don’t fit me though and I have no receipt. I also don’t know the store where she bought them. What do I do?
See if you can explain privately to the brother in law or someone close to the girlfriend the situation and maybe they can ask for you where she got it from. Ex. Hey what did you get person a, b &c for Christmas? You got him a shirt?!? Cool where at? Rats! I must have missed a great sale.ORJust be honest with her and say the shirts are great and I would love to wear them, but they aren’t quite my size, by any chance would she exchange them for you? Hopefully she will volunteer the receipt, but in case she is uncomfortable with that, then she will go exchange them herself. Problem is that if there is no more size, an alternate might have to be chosen. Hopefully a gift card would be exchanged for it rather than a shirt that you may not like the 2nd time around.ORYou can ask some very fashion savvy relative/friend/coworker about the shirts. Let them look at it. Most clothing is very distinct and one who is super into fashion will known the types of stores that carry it. Ex. JCrew is different than Calvin Klein even if you remove the labels. Fabrication, softness, detailed stitching, colors used (bright soft neon check plaid), cut, the buttons, etc. Also check the inside label where it stated the material and sometimes foreign languages. They sometimes have a brand name there, a QR code symbol, a website or rarely, but it has happened… an address!Look closely at the buttons. Sometimes they have the brandname of a distinct brand that only one place it’s carried. Ex. Brooks Brothers is very distinct.ORPlan C. Send me zoomed in and over all pictures privately and maybe I can help.Picture 1: the whole shirtPicture 2: Zoom in on buttonPicture 3: Zoom in on fabric weave as if under microscope
Is it legal for army veterans to wear uniforms?
My two cents and experienceRetired after 21 years Army ( 15 Active, 6 Reserve).Still wear my DCU jacket from Iraq (04-05) in the winter. Wore it for the last 3-4 years, just being too cheap to get a new coat. Had even worn it to my Reserve unit ( during the regular week not drill weekend) and was seen by a 1SG. His comment was “wow, haven't seen that in years”. The DCU uniform has not been an official uniform since at least 2010 if not further back. That 1SG knew me, and would have corrected me had it been illegal to the point that it needed corrected ( he didn't even say anything about the zipper being open , though all pocket flaps were closed).After retirement i went to the Air Force base thats closest to me, and looked at fleeces in Clothing Sales. I asked if the new coats were just for AD or if retirees could get them too. I was essentially told the new brownish ones were restricted on everybody right then as they were just being issued and they had to make sure the active duty guys got theirs. The green ones were perfectly fine for purchase.This was from a store that checks that you are eligible to buy a candy bar, and politely turns you away if not ( ie not a military ID card bearer)There are regulations in place for wear of uniforms by retirees. However, it is more self policed by the retiree/veteran community than by the DoD, which is busy enough policing its own people over everything from sky penises to any of the 1000 categories of alcohol related incidents to murdering Philipino hookers of all genders to worry about the retirees.
How soon did you start wearing maternity clothes?
I am 28 weeks pregnant with #3 and I was in maternity clothes at 8 weeks! Everyone was like why are you wearing them you are going to hate them by the end of your pregnancy. I could not wear my normal clothes and I thought it was dumb to go out and buy bigger clothes and them by maternity clothes later on. So I just started wearing them. Bottom line -- If you are more comfortable in them, then wear them!
Why don't American students wear uniforms?
Good Question. I have attended schools with and without uniform and I can say that the only reason a school would enforce uniforms is due to poverty. when I was attending schools requiring a uniforms, I asked a teacher why we could not wear our every day clothing or even jeans and such that are within the allowed colors (could only wear plain solid colored specified (red, white or blue in my case) shirts/t-shirts and blue khaki/dress pants). They told us it was due to certain kids being from families that earn less than lower income homes or even poverty stricken homes. The thing was certain kids bought clothes from name brands and always had shoes that where worth more than certain kids total outfit. This was when I was living in a lower income city.when I moved to a upper middle class suburb, I was not required to wear uniform and could wear anything that was not obscene (anything that did not depict anything vulgar such as profanity or nudity ) or showed to much skin (mostly for the girls like hot pants or super miniskirts).There are private schools that also have a set school uniform but is done in a form tradition and discipline to make every one the same. when public schools require uniforms, they do it for financial reasons (school doesn’t want rich kids making fun of poor kids clothing).problem with the private vs public is private standardizes their uniform and provides it or directs you to were to buy it. Also, most people who attend private schools can afford the cost of a uniform. In public schools, they only tell you what colors and material you can buy and don’t provide you the uniform itself. this then defeats the purpose as kids from more well off homes can purchase name brand clothing while poor family students may still have to purchase their uniforms at second hand stores or drift shops.In the end, it does not matter whether you wear a uniform or not in school as it does not impact your education in any harmful way. if someone was distracted from their education due to what they were wearing, then they were not very bright from the beginning and weren’t going to learn anything either way. I can see why other countries require it up to high school (less distractions in school) but uniforms are a less important issue in the US educational system.
Why do you keep clothes that don't fit?
Because the shirts are so cute. Even the shirts don’t fit, I still keep the shirts. Maybe I would make them into an ornament.
How long do you keep clothes for?
I'm a semi slacker, so I have shirts (and pants) from the 2002 region too. Some are still good, others have been ditched. I also have the same sleeping bag that I got for my 10th birthday and my Stoke Cuty junior potters shirt from when I was 7. I'm also an advocate of the smell test. Clothes don't need washing unless they smell bad. FACT! I'm wearing a shirt and jumper today and I just had a good sniff on the inside and it's more Polo Ralph Lauren than stig of the dump, so it's going straight back on the hanger. Bingybonbingbong!
Is Aeropostale a store for young people only? Is it weird that I purchased clothes from there? ?
Hello, I am not old and not young either. I am 32 years old. 5 feet 5 inches tall and 120 lbs. I fit in Aeropostale,s size 5/6 R Jeans. They had a sale, I bought a pair plus a few of their polo shirts. I know the store's logo is for young people, but is there a thing where younger people would look at a woman my age and think that it's weird that I am wearing Aeropostale clothes?
