Nick Jonas’ jacket is a flat-out assault on proper tailoring and fit.

Pun intended?

They really do, and it’s such an affirming experience! Nordstrom is all about fit and comfort, and making sure you find the best bra for your shape. VS is just focused on their brand’s idea of what’s sexy.

I cried when I finally got a properly-fitted Nordstrom bra. I’d been existing in perpetual discomfort in VS 34E and 36D’s, and Nordstrom fit me in a 30G. I’ve expanded my bra shopping to herroom.com, but Nordstrom will always have my heart for that game-changing afternoon.

Sister-sizing is the biggest goddamn lie they constantly push to try and sucker all the big-breasted women they ignore with their unbelievably limited sizing range. I was big into VS in college (early 2000's zeitgeist, what can I say) and after years of uncomfortable bands riding up and cup spillage, I finally dumped…

If it makes you feel better, walking fast and no eye contact is my preferred mode at all times!

shoot... I should probably reconsider now that you mention it...

Then just a different-strokes thing, I guess! The great thing about houses and apartments is that there are as many iterations as there are personalities (if we’re talking about a perfect world where housing is available to all and everyone can afford it, of course).

Oh, you mean this??

Throwing things out is the best therapy there is. It’s tangible cleansing!

Yeah, we have a dining “area” extending from our kitchen and it’s mostly for show and temporary mail storage. We eat on the couch, as God and the 1950's intended.

Yeah, I mean I’m a Seattle native so I’m pretty biased, but it’s a real cut-and-dried situation for me. One location has trees and water and a culture of progressive liberalism and jobs and recreational weed... and the other has small pockets of decent people trying desperately to avoid the turds riddled throughout…

Our strategy is similar, but my in-laws are determined to save money at the expense of everyone’s discomfort

And I’m just the opposite! I like a big giant food-cooking-and-consumption area, but a separate place to relax and read or watch TV. We’re not anywhere close to being able to afford a house, but I love looking at listings on Zillow just to see all the different setups and variations... it sounds like your house was a…

Some people definitely have a mentality of “get as much space as possible” that isn’t easily challenged, probably because to some people, it feels like a rejection or indictment of their own lifestyle. My parents are fine with our apartment size but they were super resistant to us getting rid of our car four years…

Our in-laws speak the same language. They always complain about how small our apartment is when they come to stay with us :( Like, maybe the apartment wouldn’t feel so cramped if you guys would just go stay in a hotel instead of fussing around my shit?

French farmhouse, faux nautical and shabby chic are the unholy design trinity.

My in-laws are forever trying to romance us back to outer Phoenix by comparing cheapo-desert McMansions to downtown Seattle prices. I know we could get 4,000 sq ft for a snickers bar, but location, location, location, guys.

Maybe it’s an introvert-extrovert thing? Sometimes I just need the peace of mind that comes from knowing I am existing alone in a defined space for a little while

Concurred. I like an open kitchen/eating area, since every get-together seems to turn into “let’s all stand in or around the kitchen”, but sometimes I just want to watch SVU without hearing my husband grumble about my TV taste while he makes a sandwich or whatever.
