Readers have sung the praises of these wide leg pants from Beyond Yoga… many of which are on sale right now!
I got these grayish ones around the NAS sale, although they were already marked down… and man, the readers were right. The pants are super thin but with a beautiful drape, with nice deep pockets. So flattering! Unfortunately for me I had to send them back because I needed a petite size… but the brand has short lengths available on their website, so I'm psyched.
The wide leg pants pictured are deep discount ($51, lucky sizes only), but Nordstrom has a lot of other colors for $76-$129. Beyond Yoga has its warehouse sale going on for Labor Day Weekend and the pants (with short sizes available!) are $89.
Psst: this Reiss sweater was another keeper for me it's on sale again, I think even lower than what it was in the NAS.

What do you consider the line that enters cheating? For me, it would start as kissing. However, I saw a video recently where a guy was briefly hugging a girl with a fiance from behind at a concert and many of the comments called it cheating.
Didn’t the Coldplay concert teach us about this? Hugging from behind is intimate.
But the hugging from behind wasn’t the cheating right? It was the fact they were on a date and clearly having an affair. The gesture revealed that but wasn’t cheating in and of itself, to my mind.
100%
I feel like extended hugging/holding from behind (a la Coldplay concern) seems like they are in or on their way to a more intimate relationship. So IDK that I’d call that very act cheating, but if my partner was engaged in that behavior I’d have a lot of questions.
If you wouldn’t do it with your partner in the room. That’s the line.
This metric only works if your partner is emotionally stable and non abusive. Lots of men would cause a fights for even a hug.
what!? so if your partner holds hands and hugs people from behind, you’re a-ok with it so long as you’re not present? so the cheating is more about the appearance of disrespect than the actual disrespect itself?
How about a secrets post? Anything going on you wouldn’t say out loud to folks? Let’s try to keep it a judgement-free zone.
How’s it going with your work crush, family drama, unrealized hopes and dreams? What’s annoying you, who inspires jealousy, etc etc? What wins have you had lately that you can’t celebrate with anyone? I want to know everything!
What I wouldn’t say out loud to anyone: it’s extremely easy not to default to screens for our soon-to-be-2-year-old. The time flies by as it is, he’s fascinated by smashing blocks together or opening cabinet doors, and it’s probably never going to be easier than it is now to stay away from screens. He’s not an easy child by any means, we have zero family support (we do pay for daycare – never had a babysitter otherwise, though), plenty of stuff has been really hard, but avoiding Miss Rachel has been so, so easy.
I am mentally and physically exhausted by elder care. I’m the only close family member local, and others are few in number and a plane ride away. Jill Connor Browne got it right when she said that the best way to improve quality of life as an adult is to be the child who moves out of state. I love my parent dearly, but I’m tired of the elder care and probably genuinely depressed over the life I have lived for several years now and will continue to be living for likely many more years, due to the significant constrictions that it places on my life.
I have been looking at this bag for weeks. Still can’t decide what color. They are all so pretty. Help? I originally thought navy because it goes with a lot of my stuff, but I am such a sucker for warm autumn colors. Can’t wear them near my face, but isn’t that what an accessory is for?

That’s a great bag! I have been looking for an olive bag, so I just ordered it in olive. I also love the oxblood, which is a great neutral for fall.
Oxblood!
If you love your job and need to stay in it for many REASONS, but they have an absolute cap on your salary (much less than say similar roles in other places) what can you do to feel better/ not taken advantage of? Trying to lean out but given small team, high stakes, not as possible.
Mistrial for the Clancy case. It’s maddening that even with all the attention, postpartum issues still won’t get any change…
Has anyone ordered glasses from designerframesoutlet dot com before? I want to buy another pair of the frames I currently have but they’ve been discontinued, so I can’t get them from the source I did before. Not sure if this place is legit…
