Where does one acquire said $20 robe for warmer weather?

I would have laundry concerns about the lacy bits but you already have other lacy things so that shouldn’t be an issue. I say go for it.

Bathrobes are a good self care/mental health purchase. I say this as someone whose offspring has commandeered one of my light weight bathrobes recently. He runs hot, we live in a hot state, and yet he insists that he loves it because it keeps him “nice and cozy”.

I think I either got it from JC Penney or Nordstrom Rack, on big sale. It was totally a Google search for lightweight robe under “shopping” that led down a long trail of stores, though.

There are a lot of them on this website with very few ethics: https://us.shein.com/pdsearch/robe/

This is legit me. My robe I’ve had for 18 years was a hand-me-down from my mom - it’s a full-length satin outside, fuzzy inside robe from victoria’s secret originally. And then my other robe was a gift from my mom, and it makes me look like a panda. It is also fuzzy. Both are very very warm outside of the most wintery of months. I hadn’t actually expressed I wanted a summer robe to my mom, but I low key hoped she would intuit that I did.

I want a new winter dressing gown. Mine is super old and has a lot of holes. But it has to be long and have pockets and be huge without being too big. It might not exist.

I feel like this forum might appreciate the dressing gown I made a couple of years ago out of this crazy cat mermaid fabric

Where does one look for costume dressing gowns? I tried etsy and it failed me.

For what kind of costume?

I wouldn’t mind being a panda or bunny while wandering around my house, improperly dressed.

You can find panda + bunny robes used on poshmark or ebay or depop! If you want to go slightly less ethical, forever 21, amazon, and walmart all have them.

Glass pantry jars.

Square would make better use of the space though.

Oooh pretty.

I want big storage containers but my plan was plastic, and I’m torn between Tupperware™ and OXO™.

I should not dye my hair purple right now, but it does seem like if I’m ever going to do it, now is the time.

(My 2" of roots are 50% grey 50% brown, the rest of my hair was red-brown and now just brown-brown. I do not have the skillz to strip out existing color and purple over brown would be no bueno.)

My husband is lusting after a BIG thing - he wants the new Plug-in Hybrid RAV-4 that is being released this summer. We have a plug-in Prius and a level 2 (fast) charger in our garage and he is convinced that our car is too small for 2 car seats. I think he can keep lusting after it, because it is as close as he’s going to get!
