As a midsized curvy girl with big shoulders and a long torso, the selection of little white dresses for my bachelorette trip and bridal shower have been slim pickings. Here’s a list of all the ones I tried and the ones I found that i thought were cute but I wouldn’t feel as comfortable in.

These are all the books read or listened to by month in 2026. I’m linking ways to purchase each book and I will link my favorite ways to read and listen.

My fiancé had to return to office 5 days a week after working from home so it’s time to get him a closet that shows he dresses to impress. He’s particular about fabric and colors so he can be picky to shop for. Hes a big fan of athletic fabric in pants and breathable golf shirts. He’s 5’9” and wears a XXL and 38x30.

If this was my birthday party I would literally laugh out loud!! Celebrate your hotdog loving besties birthday in style with all the hotdog things!

You’re serving fresh glizzies on steamed buns Chicago style and with ketchup for the plain babes. Chips, veggie cups, cupcakes, lemonade, and ice cold beer are unlimited. The porch goose is dressed for the occasion. The pool is open. The guests are dressed to party. Let’s celebrate!
