I just made these earrings by upcycling the metal springs i removed from the inside of two pens I had to throw out. I love making jewelry out of found objects to give them a second life😃what do you all think?

Looking for a long sleeve black dress

Thanks you guys for any help you can offer, im really struggling here!

So longer explanation below but:

I need a dress for wearing on stage. The only hard requirements are long sleeves and solid black, but I'd prefer:

Tea length -- maxi-length skirt Fitted bodice and full skirt Natural fibers (Possibly some interesting features like textures or pleating or something to give it a little umph?)

I've been searching around but it's difficult to find many long sleeve dresses, and it feels like so much of the sustainable dresses are just very boxy, which on my body translates to frumpy and unflattering.

So I need to wear black long sleeves for a few special occasion performances for my church choir, and I usually complain about it to the family because 1. The only clothing I currently own that fit are a black skirt and sweater, but wearing the sweater on stage gets so hot, 2. I don't like wearing monochromatic outfits, and I definitely don't like wearing no colors and 3. I don't like people telling me what to wear lol. But I suck it up for the occasional performance, it's not that big of a deal.

But now my sweet MIL tried to get me a dress for Christmas that she thought I would actually enjoy wearing, but it didn't fit, so she told me to go find one and she would get it for me. Usually when I go clothing shopping I go to the thrifts, so I have been looking around trying to find some kind of sustainable clothing brand that had a dress I'd like and I'm struggling.

So I'd love to hear if you all have any dress suggestions, thank you so much!

Planners for women over 50 years old

Hello there!

I am in search of some women over the age of 50 who use planners. I am in this age group and really struggle to find something that I like. everything is so bland and non-functional or crazy busy with “girl boss“ this, just crush it” that! I just want something that is well made, pleasing to the eye and very functional!

I have tried to DIY but they don’t feel elegant and I don’t want to waste time and money on something I will not be happy with anyway. I have finally decided that I am going to design one that checks all of the boxes and have it professionally made! I will be selling them probably for 2027 but I would really like some feedback as to what women really want in a planner. dated/undated, binding, large, bold print. pen loop, any graphics at all on the pages, how many note pages, goals section, medication section, types of complimentary stickers. so many things that I am curious about and am wondering if I am one of just a few that struggle with planner peace!

In search of ballet/no show socks

I was excited to see Bombas had some but they’re all sold out in my size.

I have a lot of Mary Jane’s and I want to have at least a couple of pairs of cotton or wool no shows to wear with them.

Any suggestions of where I can find some? I saw Calzedonia has some but I’m seeing they aren’t transparent with their supply chain.

Anything helps, thank you!

Rebuilding my wardrobe

Hi everyone!

I’m not sure if this is the right thread… but I recently purged my closet. I came across this thread and I was hoping to get some suggestions on different stores. I really like the styles in reformation, anthropology, oak and fort, aritzia, but I’m trying to buy clothing with better materials (avoiding low quality polyester) it seems like everything is made of plastic these days. Im okay with spending a little more $60-$80 range…Anyways, anyone have good recs? Thank you in advance :)
