is it non-comedogenic?

4/13/2011 3:33:11 PM

not sure.....but I'd say, doubtful? Ask a salon rep at whichever place you decide to go. They should know for sure.

4/13/2011 3:37:53 PM

piddlebug what is your price range for the wedges? I just bought a pair for 40..

This is what I got:

4/13/2011 3:44:26 PM

Nerdchick's post about Target's summer wedges have me wanting to go to Target now

4/13/2011 3:46:21 PM

no, don't start talking about shoes... I can't get any til i go home to visit mom in august

4/13/2011 3:52:54 PM

I think I am just being too picky about what I want. There are several within price range (no more than $50) but I am not in love with any of them. It is bumming me out Or worse I'll find a pair I love but in the wrong color or size

4/13/2011 3:54:14 PM

Got these from Payless for $20.00

4/13/2011 3:58:07 PM

I love shoes from Payless

gah, my wallet can't take all these cute shoes!!!!!

4/13/2011 3:58:46 PM

payless shoes = feet tore the fuck up

4/13/2011 4:00:01 PM

I've never had problems with Payless Shoes

So now I need to go to Payless and Target to look at shoes

4/13/2011 4:02:35 PM

I bought a pair of heels from Payless that are hands down the most comfortable pair I have ever owned. I can walk around for hours in them and be perfectly fine. I need to go back and see what other styles that brand makes.

BOGO like a whoa!

more clothing questions!

getting my bike from the mountains finally and will be adding bike riding to my exercise routine. I've always just worked out in old shorts and a t-shirt, but my workouts have never required leaving the house.

So I need your suggestions on workout clothes, everything! socks, tennis shoes, shorts, bras, tops, undies.

I will be power walking, possibly jogging or running in the future, and riding my bike. I have a big booty and fat thighs that rub together when I walk lots. Thanks!!

[Edited on April 13, 2011 at 4:27 PM. Reason : .]

4/13/2011 4:23:39 PM

cotton undies

that's all I will say

4/13/2011 4:41:44 PM

bike shorts

[Edited on April 13, 2011 at 5:00 PM. Reason : make sure they come down at least an inch or two below the point at which your thighs rub]

4/13/2011 4:59:32 PM

i get the monkey butt when i mountain bike but feel like the padded shorts wouldn't work. advice?

4/13/2011 5:01:27 PM

this looks like it could be cool/fun or at the very least, interesting

i dunno, i think i might check it out!!! i think its like $5 to get in...i haven't even seen the moving island space yet because i missed the big opening party whenever that was. so i think i might go! thought it was worth reposting.

oh and RE: workout clothes:

bike shorts are good but you want them LONG, like right above the knee if your thighs touch, quasi touch, or come close to touching. otherwise you will get the ouch chafes (sp?). i use these shorts, they have the rip off at target (which i also have)...champions, i think. they have built in underwear. i like. i also have several of the champions cool dri or quik dri or whatever those shirts are that aren't 100% cotton.

oh and if you aren't comfortable in shorts (sometimes i'm not) i got the spandexy champions running capris from target. they are my go-to exercise outfit lol.

i also just use target (champions) sports bras, but i don't have big knockers (B or Cish cup...i don't know, my boobs are uncomfortable i need to get measured). but i use the kind with the skinny straps. they are more comfy to me.

socks: just get some of the blended ones that are for exercise (ie: NOT the 100% cotton ones). as they say in running land, cotton is rotten. i mean, they'll just get soaking wet with sweat and be uncomfortable/give you a rash, lol. i purchase these at target as well. the target exercise section is pretty pimp, IMO. i have several nike things, but the target knock offs do just as well and are a lot cheaper!

shoes: depends on what you are going to be doing the most. if its strictly running, you obvi want a running shoe. if its running, jogging, biking, etc you can get a good tennis shoe (likely a running shoe) that is fine for all activities. i'd say, out of everything you listed, shoes are the most important. even for the casual exerciser, they can make a huge difference in your routine (esp with pain, lol). you CAN go to dick's and get a pair of nikes or asics or whatever, but i'd say its slightly better to go to a place that specializes in shoes and get fitted. tell them what you want the shoes for and they can recommend the best pairs, then you can narrow it from there.

OH AND FOR CHAFING, this stuff rules. i look like such a fatass hoochie putting it on, but dude, it works. getchu some:

says great for feet, lol...but i apply GENEROUSLY to my thighs.

4/13/2011 5:31:18 PM

oooh, where do you get that glide stuffs from??


and I have been looking at target, and that is probably where I'll end up getting most of my stuffs. Thanks for all the advice!

4/13/2011 5:43:58 PM

they POTENTIALLY have it at target, otherwise just pop into any specialty running store (like that one by wholefoods on wade ave, or any specialty running/exercise store really) and they'll have it.

that stuff is the best hahaha

4/13/2011 5:57:19 PM

Fleet feet on Wade Ave has it. There's no difference between the kind for guys and the kind for girls except the one for girls is almost double the price.

4/13/2011 6:07:00 PM

here are my $4 Goodwill purchases from the weekend...since i'm not having quite as fat ass of a day as i was having monday...

this dress I'll wear to an upcoming wedding...(disregard the shoes and the photo quality )






and this is the dress i'm wearing to the beach music festival if it's hot...

4/13/2011 6:51:38 PM

4/13/2011 6:52:50 PM

ya i'll never be that size.

4/13/2011 7:10:56 PM

but you look better in all your clothes than i do


i have to search far and wide to find flattering clothing

4/13/2011 7:15:40 PM

I think both are really cute! you said to disregard but I like the black shoes in the 1st pic too

4/13/2011 9:26:46 PM

4/13/2011 10:20:09 PM

Casey, you look great in both of those dresses.

4/13/2011 10:23:11 PM

thank you


this just proves that erica is wrong...i don't hate everything...i just hate things that don't fit

4/13/2011 10:26:00 PM

4/13/2011 11:09:42 PM

^btw i like torrid


I don't buy TONS of stuff from them but they have bought some cute shirts and a REALLY nice skirt. I'm VERY thankful there isn't one locally.

4/13/2011 11:47:26 PM

I bet it looks cute on you

I just haven't found anything on the site that is my style.

oldnavy.com is offering 25% off any purchase today only

code ONSPRING

4/14/2011 10:45:36 AM

^ Thanks!!!

4/14/2011 10:49:34 AM

fuck

guess I'm ordering some dresses. Yay for free shipping on returns!

4/14/2011 10:50:45 AM

I usually order enough to qualify for free shipping ($50) and if I don't like the stuff, I return it to the store

4/14/2011 10:56:39 AM

ummm how do you ladies feel about rompers?

4/14/2011 11:02:27 AM

ooooh

Ok, so you only need $50 in merchandise BEFORE the 25% off coupon to get free shipping

As long as you have over $50 in merchandise, you'll get free shipping

then you use your 25% off coupon and even if you dip below $50 after your coupon, you still get free shipping

I just got a dress, a pair of shoes and a tshirt for $45.

4/14/2011 11:14:04 AM

I can't return my fattie clothes to the store so that makes me so thankful that I can now do free returns by mail at old navy

dammit! of course only a couple of days after i buy $50 worth of stuff

4/14/2011 11:28:02 AM

the 25% only applies to non-sale items.......oh well, that's still 9$ I am saving

4/14/2011 11:29:12 AM

i hate the it excludes dresses

4/14/2011 11:39:15 AM

^^that's strange b/c it took 25% off two things I bought but not the third. All 3 were sale items.

4/14/2011 1:03:44 PM

Ok, for you ladies that know my body shape or could just comment in general, do you think my breasts are too large for this kind of heart shape cut? I am very modest and I don't like my cleavage so I would be trying to hide it. Is it possible to do so in that cut? I REALLY like this dress. I also don't know if it would be flattering on me.

4/14/2011 1:46:43 PM

i don't really think there would be any cleavage with that cut

4/14/2011 1:48:16 PM

hmmm...I will try to find a store that possibly would have this style and try it on, I just can't do that right now. I have a while to try to find a dress for my bff's wedding. She gets married April 21, 2012.
