Thanks C :smile:. I think I will mostly be wearing it short like a hobo but it’s nice that I can wear it as a crossbody too. Hope you are all doing well — guess your oldest kiddos started their new school year? And you are surviving this heatwave :lol:? I saw that it was 121 in Woodland Hills — yikes!!! Have you used your Noe yet?

They did! Mid August. Still weird to me but it’s been this way for their school district for a while now. Just barely. I’ve been sitting under the aircon vent or in the pool. It just shows how different things are now. We would have taken the kids to see a movie or walk around the mall, or even to the beach. I have used my Noe a few times and I really like it as a mom bag for DD2 things. Lol I know it’s not technically a crossbody bag, but since it was in the longest setting when I got it, and I’m really short, I could actually wear it crossbody for a short time which is great.

Partly because I'm of the generation that wore heels with dresses so I don't know what kind of shoes to wear, and partly because I don't like the look of my knees. I haven't worn shorts in years either. Then part of me feels that even though these are casual dresses, it is unusual and will draw more attention to me than if I just wore jeans.

That makes sense. I wouldn't want to wear something that makes me feel uncomfortable either. That's funny you are comfortable at home in them. It sounds like they are becoming part your summer lounge wear.

Whew I finally caught up with all the pages! Again I’ve been preoccupied with WFH and now schooling from home. We have a semi rhythm that gets thwarted every few days by a small human that decides to change her napping schedule on us. I’ve missed you guys so much. I haven’t bought a bag since July but I did have to spend a more than I needed to on a new iPad since my son took mine over for school.

Hi Chiichan, It's good to see you! It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I hope the routine gets easier for all of you. How is your baby girl?

I've had a ton of work for the past 3 weeks, so I've been away. No new bags for me and bought nothing over Labor Day. I try to keep asking myself where I would wear something. Oh well. Yes, I will try to catch up and from what I can tell, everyone seems to be doing well! :wave:

Hi E! That is a great idea thinking about where you'll wear something. Catch us up on how you are doing too when you can.

What's wrong with me? I just ordered another dress! I think I bought 6 dresses during lockdown. Before this, I hadn't worn a dress for years except to a wedding. I haven't worn any of my new dresses out of the house but they are comfortable to wear at home. I wonder if I'll dare wear them out of the house when things get back to normal, if that ever happens.

I think they can be a great comfort, casual option. I 99% of the time refuse to wear them, i don't like dresses kinda dreading what i am supposed to wear to my younger daughters wedding next fall... i need to find something long(but built for my 5'2 nothing self) and that is not super clingy but not boxy or i look like the dress is wearing me vs the other way round. Argh. dread coming again lol.

Any shoe goes with dresses these days. I like the look of dresses but i hate being that exposed i don't like the feeling.... Last time i wore a dress was my sons grade 8 grad even did the 6 in heel. Oye. My girls loved it i hated it, but it was the right event for it.

When i was younger i wore anything, My dh and i knew each other in high school so he recalls that... yeah, well i had three big babies so things just are not what they were when i was in HS. :hrmm: :rolleyes:

Hi!! It’s getting there. The kids happen to have a lot of independent time to get their work done without having to do “homework” which is great. I also work early so I can work while everyone else is still sleeping. DD2 is getting so big! She started crawling forward and it looks like she wants to start pulling herself up.

I do have sandals but I have to remember to do my toenails. So dresses are fine in the summer but not the rest of the year, which is probably fine because I don't want to wear tights.

yeah. I always paint my toes but then i live in flip flops as soon as it's warm enough i can't do my hands cause that wouldn't last half a day lol. I hate tights icky. I am so tactile with fabrics. I guess i am very picky after all.:lol:
