I present to you my budget watch collection!
Bottom Row:
Cleaning cloth, cufflinks/ring/tieclip...
Skagen 430LSX Variant
This was my 5 year gift from Best Buy, and I wore it every day for almost 6 years. it was sleek, and functional, and I got almost daily comments on it. I enjoyed it, and I still wear it on occasion, but some time last year, I started poking around, and getting the itch. All off a sudden I was lurking here, and poking around on watch blogs, and as if all at once, a new hobby was birthed.
Timex Weekender
My third watch, once I became more educated on watches and how to wear them, I really wanted to get my hands on a casual, weekend watch. One that I could wear with jeans and a shirt. This really fit the bill, and I love that I can swap out the strap super easy. I wear a different tie every day, so it's nice to carry that over into the weekend as well. Yeah, it's loud, but I grew up in a home with pendulum clocks in every room, so it's practically silent in that regard.
Gemony Straps I got on super sale, another random strap that came with the Rider
Rider GT&FQ M002 (Nomos Knockoff)
After much deliberation, my grail watch was decided upon, as the Nomos Ludwig 38. This is not that watch, obviously. I fell in love quickly with the Bauhaus style watch, and as a father of 2 on a single income, it's going to take some time to reach the point of getting my hand on a genuine German Made Bauhaus. So I went with the Chinese knockoff. There is a direct knockoff of the Ludwig, but I decided to go with the Arabic numerals, because I wanted to keep the grail that more special. I also grabbed a Fluco suede brown strap to spruce it up a bit. It is by far my favorite watch I own, and I keep having to find reasons not the wear it (such as all the other watches I love).
Skagen Archer Chronograph
This was my second watch. After the quality displayed by my first Skagen, and my initial worry about an automatic being a bit too thick, I went with this quartz chrono. It's a bit flashy, and I love the seamless transition to the leather strap. Of course as my first chronograph, for the first moth I was timing everything, but that has since slowed down, and now I just use it to make the perfect cup of tea, and time awkward silence in meetings. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, as it gives me a second dress watch to swap out with the Rider at work. between these two, my Monday-Thursday is set.
Seiko SNK615
This started as a big blue walmart watch for Christmas from my Grandmother. Bless her heart, she really wanted to get me a nice watch. I just didn't like it though, it was a bit too flashy, and was huge, even on my moderately sized wrists. Thankfully she included the receipt, so that I could swap it out for something else. I was able to do just that, got cash back, and went online to find a new watch that was still in the spirit of her gift: Bracelet, Blue, Simple Faced. I ran across this guy on Amazon, and I know it was the right fit! I added $20 to her money, and secured my first Seiko 5! I do like it a lot, and the date is far easier to read than on the Skagen, and I think that this is probably one of my most versatile watches. easily work on casual Friday with an oxford shirt and jeans, as well as with a sweater on the weekends. I'm also a big fan of the yellow (? colorblind) accents on the second hand and numbers.
Well, there you have it, my humble collection, built on almost no budget.
____
I'm looking at for my next purchase to be a big busy watch with a slide rule, there's a Casio Ediface, and a Seiko that I've got my eye on... or if I decide to spend some real money, a sub grail of mine, the Citizen Red Arrows Chrono AT
How to (actually) be anonymous online
Section 1: Prerequisites — Hardware
Computer
To use the Internet you will obviously need a computer. You may use your existing one (provided you install the recommended software below), but its a much better idea to get a dedicated machine that you would be using for all your alter-ego activities. If you don’t care about performance, a cheap $300 netbook may do just fine, however if you plan to be using it a lot, it’s recommended you get something with at least 8GB of RAM, 128GB SSD and a decent CPU (Modern Core i3 or better). Make sure you pay cash for the machine.
Phone
Many online services require phone verification in order to get an account, while others may require it for 2 factor authentication, which is always a good idea. While there are many websites that allow you to receive SMS, they are typically used by thousands of people and you will have a hard time finding one that will work with popular services, so it’s best to get your own. You can get a cheap pre-paid phone, put $100 on it, which should last you almost a year. You will buy it with cash. Many providers will allow you to pick a number and area code, so be sure to pick one that’s different from the state/province that you are in.
Section 2: Prerequisites — Software
Veracrypt is a full disk encryption software which is the de facto successor to TrueCrypt (which ceased development in 2014 under very suspicious circumstances). Like TrueCrypt, Veracrypt is open source, and has been recently audited so it’s your best bet.
VirtualBox allows you to run a different operating system inside a virtual machine.
TOR/VPN
You will need a way to hide your ISP assigned IP address. The free option, TOR, is open source and is actively maintained by hundreds of developers world wide. However, TOR usage is easily detected so you may have a hard time accessing some services and the speeds are going to be less than stellar.
Alternatively, you can invest a few dollars per month into a privacy conscious VPN provider. TorrentFreak keeps an excellent list of these providers, which is updated every year. Things to look out for include lack of logs, built in firewall, acceptance of Bitcoin and a proven history of not turning over subscriber data when asked for it. HideMyAss for example is a popular provider, however you may want to stay away from it, even if you don’t plan on having your data being subpoenaed by the FBI.
Section 2: Setup
Step 1 — Setup your computer
OS Encryption
This is the first step is also your last line of defense in a worst case scenario. Use VeraCrypt to encrypt your OS. For the extra paranoid, you can also setup a hidden operating system where you essentially have 2 completely separate operating systems, depending on which password you enter during the decryption process, and its nearly impossible to prove the existence of the other.
Virtual Machine
Whether you’re using your existing computer, or a dedicated device, I strongly recommend running a VM (virtual machine) on it, and restricting your alter-ego activities to it. This has the extra benefit of containing most malware inside the VM itself, which could also deanonymize you if you’re sharing the same OS for your regular and alter-ego activities. Think of it as a quarantine zone, and everything inside has space AIDs. You don’t want anything going in it (personal information), and more importantly out of it.
Never use this VM to access any of your existing accounts including but not limited to your bank, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, Instagram, Pornhub, your local church’s message board, etc.
Don’t open the browser inside the VM until you get a VPN, as you run the risk of getting fingerprinted and tracked while on your ISP IP address.
Step 2 — Get some Bitcoin
Contrary to popular belief, Bitcoin is not anonymous. All transactions and wallet (account) balances are public information. Bitcoin does hide the identity of the wallet holder. Unfortunately, simply spending the Bitcoins on products/services in your name nullifies this. You can watch a video on this subject here.
There are many exchanges online where you can buy Bitcoin, all of which will require personal identification, which sometimes goes above and beyond what you need to provide to trade on the stock market. You have plenty of opportunity to expose yourself as you use Bitcoin, so at the very least try not to do that at the very beginning.
The best thing to do is buy Bitcoin with cash. You can use LocalBitcoins for this purpose. Alternatively you could use a Bitcoin ATM if one is available in your city. Keep in mind some of them require extreme measures like providing your ID, palm scanning, DNA samples and first born child sacrifice in order to use them. Only use the ones that don’t require any of these things, unless you hate your kids.
You will also need a wallet. I’m not talking about getting another highly fashionable Bacon Wallet you may be carrying around already, but a Bitcoin wallet, which is unfortunately not bacon flavored.
When it comes to storing your Bitcoins you have 3 options: online wallet, computer wallet and cold storage. We’ll ignore cold storage for the purposes of this article.
There are many online wallets being provided by various companies, but they suffer from the same issues mentioned above (need to provide private information). I personally like having the wallet on my computer since I’m the only one truly in possession of my Bitcoins, and I don’t have to rely on any 3rd party which has my private information or is constantly at a risk of getting robbed. Here is a good list of wallets you could use. Make sure you’re looking at the “Desktop” category. The downside to using these is that if your hard-drive crashes, and you made no backups, all your money is gone.
Step 3 — Get a VPN
Now that you got your computing environment setup, and acquired Bitcoins, it’s time to get a good VPN for situations where TOR is blocked, or you must change your IP to a specific country in order to access a service.
Fire up your TOR Browser, and head over to your favorite VPN provider’s website. Most will ask you for an email, you can use a disposable email provider for this purpose. Some providers don’t even ask you for an email, which is a good sign of their commitment to privacy.
Firewall
Make sure the provider you choose has a proper firewall built into the client, not just a “kill switch”, which is basically snake oil, since it’s a reactive measure that simply shuts off the processes of your choice if the VPN connection drops. Between the connection dropping, and your browser being forcibly closed by the app, there is no guarantee that packets will not leak, not to mention all the other applications running on your computer, including the OS itself, which make random requests to random servers at random times. With a kill switch you won’t be able to protect yourself from leaks.
A firewall on the other hand is a proactive measure, which if properly implemented, fails closed, meaning all activity outside of the tunnel is firewalled at all times, by default, so if your connection drops, there is nothing for the application to do, and you can guarantee that not a single packet will leak revealing your ISP assigned IP address to the outside world. Windscribe, IVPN and AirVPN all have excellent firewalls which use Windows Filtering Platform and pf to block all activity outside of the tunnel.
Those who don’t trust the application level firewall, can setup Whonix, which uses a separate VM which functions as a router for the VM where your activity takes place. If connectivity drops for any reason, packets cannot go out to the Internet.
Protocols
Of the 3 commonly used protocols, I strongly encourage using the open source OpenVPN protocol. PPTP is entirely broken and unsafe to use, and IPSec/L2TP is easily detected and arguably already exploited by the NSA.
Now that you chose your VPN provider, pay for the account with Bitcoin and connect to a server of your choosing.
Step 4 — Setup your browser
Unless you plan to use TOR exclusively, you will need another browser that you will use in conjunction with the VPN you just got.
I don’t recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox, as they have tracking built in. I recommend getting the latest stable version of Chromium (what Chrome is based on), with no Sync or WebRTC support. Alternatively you can use Palemoon, but the extension support is very limited.
Then install the following browser extensions:
Step 5 — Get a password manager
Weak and reused passwords are usually the number one cause of accounts getting hijacked, and a compromised account on any 3rd party service may assist an adversary in deanonymizing you. You can’t prevent or foresee security issues which may exist in the service itself, but at least you can do your part by generating strong and unique passwords for all the services you use. There are many password managers out there, LastPass, KeePass and Dashlane are just some of them.
I'd say buy 2 or 3 for $50 to $100 each. I bought 3 watches (for less than $100 total) before I finally figured out what I like wearing. My first watch was a chronograph on a steel bracelet. I learned very quickly what I do and don't like in chronographs (this one had many features I disliked), and I figured out that, like you, I dislike steel bracelets. I still have that one, but I don't wear it. After that I figured out that I like divers, so I ordered one of those. It turned out I didn't know enough about watches and bought something that didn't fit at all. I figured out where I went wrong, and bought a third watch. It is the one that /u/fragilestories recommended, the Casio mdv106. I wear this watch daily. I think it was nice to have a few and wear each for a while, and doing that let me get the perfect watch. Now that I know what I like, I know that when I spend $200 to $300 on my next watch it will be great. I am planning to upgrade to the Seiko SKX007, which will be my first mechanical watch. I guarantee that I will wear it every day once I have it.
Think about what you want to use your watch for. Will you look at it in class when writing the date on your papers? Get a date window. Want to time things? You need a chronograph. Figure out what features you will use and go from their. Or go for what you think looks the coolest, even if it has different features than you would use.
Also, look through this sub and think about what looks you like. Do you like numbers? Roman numerals? Symbols? What colors do you like? What straps do you like (these are pretty easy to change, but you will have to add straps into your budget if you want something other than what the watch comes with).
Here are 3 watches that will give you a good variety. These 3 will let you rotate watches, change your style, and figure out what features you like and don't like. The three together fit your price point (or are very close).
I love diver's watches,and would start with this: Casio mdv106:
https://smile.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Stainless-Steel-Watch/dp/B009KYJAJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467354240&sr=8-1&keywords=casio+mdv106
I like some chronographs, especially the ones symmetrical across the right and left faces. The Timex weekender is great:
https://smile.amazon.com/Timex-Unisex-TW2P623009J-Weekender-Display/dp/B00QIJ62M2/ref=sr_1_3?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1467354305&sr=1-3&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=timex+weekender
Maybe you'll find you don't like any complications on your watch (I personally do not like date windows. I think watches look better without them. However, I do use it every day on my watch, so I have a begrudging appreciation for them). Here's another Timex without anything but an hour, minute, and second hand:
https://smile.amazon.com/Timex-Weekender-Fairfield-Quartz-Casual/dp/B0194L6AMC/ref=sr_1_7?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1467354305&sr=1-7&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=timex+weekender
Tl:dr You won't know what you like until you've worn a few different watches. A $150 budget is enough to buy several watches, so do that and pick a favorite.
Most bras use the UK sizing when you are in the post DD size. There are a few exceptions.
Bravissimo has huge selection, as well as figleaves and amazon carries a lot of them. If you want to try on IRL nordstrom will carry your size in most stores.
If memory serves (see i dont even remember because UK sizing is king) 32K = 32H which is one band and cupsize larger than me. You have a lot of options but for me i prefer panache (particularly cleo which is a sister brand) bras mainly because they cater to smaller bands and deep (vs wide) cups.
Next step is figuring out you breast shape and trying on bras. Fyi after 20yrs of cramming myself into too small bras my initial size worked until i had the mythical “tissue migration” and went up like an extra cup size so i would warn you about buying a ton of bras initially because boobs can sometimes inflate after years of being compressed ;)
I really like the panache cleo marcie, its been my goto for several years (and sizes) now. But i probably tried on tons of sizes and styles over the years. But if you are full on top its a great place to start and has come in a rainbow of colors over the years.
Amazon isnt a bad place to start ordering bras because of free ship and returns and there are lots of shapes and styles.
Try a few and post fit results here (you dont have to post pics, just this fit great in this way but didnt work because of this...)
Odds are good you will need a deep cup vs a shallow one because generally H cups are. So panache is a good place to start. Freya is another brand (i found the bands were not firm enough when i tried them, but this was years ago) bravissimo has their own line of bras, curvy kate makes bras in your size (ive never tried them as ive heard they run wide and shallower, but i cant say for sure)
You can literally search 32H bras on amazon and scroll through options.
Goddess comes in US sizing, and a couple other brands but UK tends to be the popular big boob bras. The brits definitely have us beat bigtime on better bras ;)
https://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Underwire-Sports-Bra/dp/B005X5FG2O
These can be pretty compressing so i preferred going up a size ie 32H when i wear a 30H in other bras, but id start with your size and go up if you need to. Just be aware of sister sizing. Ie 30H = 32GG = 28HH. Go up a band go down a cup, and down a band go up a cup.
So 32H = 34GG is one band bigger but same cup. Confusing but bras can be ;)
https://www.amazon.com/Panache-Cleo-Marcie-Balconnet-Bra/dp/B00BKZXPZ6
https://www.amazon.com/Panache-6951-Jasmine-Underwire-Bra/dp/B01N9DCFV7
Id highly recommend using a unlined cup bra like marcie or jasmine to find correct fit. Lots of girls want/are used to foam cup bras but they dont mold to you like a “cut and sew” bra and make it hard to diagnose fitting issues. There are some foam cup and spacer options out there in your size but id start with the inlined for fitting purposes first.
Check out bravissimo’s site too and filter by your size. The options will for sure blow your mind ;)
I came back from Vietnam 2 days ago for a month long trip. The first time one bagging.
I used the €35 "Amazon Basics" backpack because I'm cheap.
Let me tell you, the thing held up fantastic. I was really happy with the bag in general.
For €35 this thing was pretty freaking solid. I'm sure that there are better bags out there but usually they are triple the price. I honestly wouldn't know what they could do better than this one other than lighter base weight, better back ventilation, and side pockets. To me those things aren't worth the extra cost.
I was skeptical for this bag but I'm glad I brought it with me.
This owl pocket watch is $2.79 with free shipping.
I want this because my boyfriend's mother passed away this year. I never got to meet her, but I've heard so much about her and I know that everyone in his family absolutely adored her. She absolutely loved owls. In fact, they have a huge picture of her surrounded by cute little owl statues. Now, I want this because my boyfriend went through a pocket watch stage when his mom got him one. When I saw the owl pocket watch, I knew it would be something that he would appreciate. I've wanted to buy it myself, but my credit card is closely monitored and I can't afford to have people breathing down my neck. I've been trying to save up change to go to a CoinStar, but that's proving pretty difficult with a lack of cash.
Edit: You're definitely a lucky duck with so many awesome people around :D I'm glad things turned out wonderful for you. Cherish those people!! And force gifts upon them.. c: Like licks and hugs.
Thanks for the tag /u/crazymusicalgenius96 !
I am feeling you girl! Our shape is a pain and a half. I am going to be totally honest with you. I tried a crap ton of bras before I found what I wanted. Wanna know what I found? Victoria Secret. Its the weirdest thing to me that it it what fits best (still not perfect but literally fits very well when put on well). I also fit well in a self expression by maidenform racerback. I am trying to remember if they run to a 32D/DD but I would not suggest the raceback if you get a 34C/D as you likely will need a rixie clip to help keep it tighter (because the bands are pretty stretchy). I would suggest getting this first and trying this (http://www.amazon.com/Cleo-Womens-Marcie-Balconette-Bra/dp/B00BKZXPZ6/ref=cts_ap_1_fbt) on (suggest 34C/D as their bands are stiffer). It is the only of the UK bras I have had actually fit me, second best was the Freya Lauren padded halfcup. It fit for awhile but as it shifted it was bad for me but it could be good for you (would go for a 32D/DD for sure in that). If you wanna talk bras with me feel free to PM me as I don't want to rant here lol. :)
PS: Padded bras rarely work for us. I am trying to find one now that will work but it isn't healthy to wear them daily anyways so it works out :). I would also like to say that the calculator size is a starting point and you likely will be closer to a 32D than the DD as it overestimates often for our shape.
>If there are still problems, please let me know.
I am not sure how to adress this, since this is a sensitive topic with plush women. But part of your fitting problems are caused by your chub.
It is especially visible on the Elomi Maria. Look at the gore and the center piece connecting the wires. See how it sits on the upper end of your stomach? Your stomach pushes the bra away from your body there, making the cup tilt. This is one of the reasons the Elomi Maria feels so tight. Ok, it is also a strapless, but it has to stretch extra around the tissue you got sitting in your upper stomach area.
A potential solution to this might be a bandless bra. Some women like this construction, some don't. Advantage of a bandless construction is more space for the stomach if you are chubby or pregnant, downside is that there is no padding from the band between the wires and the stomach and thus the wires tend to dig in more. I do better in banded bras, others have found that they love bandless bras. It is something you just got to try.
Elomi Eva and Elomi Abi are two bandless bras that you might like shape-wise and design-wise. They are pretty similar. Cleo Lucy is another very popular bandless bra.
You also seem to be of a short statue, so maybe look at some bras that are made by Elomi particularly for a short built. The Elomi Rita is one and Elomi Megan another. Both have a banded cut though. The upcoming Etta (release in June/July) is the first bandless bra made for a short figure.
Panache Evie is simply a bad fit, not surprising with a strapless bra. They are notoriously tricky to fit. Considering this the Elomi Maria is not half bad. If you really want or need a strapless bra, Elomi Maria is your best bet.
You could try the Elomi Maria again in 40G or use an non-stretchy extender on the 38GG like this one.
Fantasie Jana - the gaping at the side is caused by the tilted cup as I explained above.
The band might also have a tendency to settle into a natural skin fold on the back. I get this too. This makes the band ride up a bit and the gapping at the side worse.
Freya Gem is known to have a stretchier band, but I think it might be beneficial in your case.
All in all you got similar fit issues to somebody who has got a flared ribcage that widens towards the waist.
A potential solution might be to hook the bra uneven, tighter on top and looser on the bottom. Again, a non-stretchy extender might help to achieve this. Also a stretchier band like on the Freya Gem helps since they take better to this kind of abuse.
people here are kinda snobby....if it isn't a mechangical (automatic, smooth second hand, not ticking) they typically dont like them.
I personally really like the look of this watch....for $60 its probably not bad. quality is what you would expect from a $60 watch...expect the glass to be just regular glass (not sapphire or even mineral crystal), expect the writing/markings to be decent but not great, dont expect the lume to be good at all. and expect the "leather" band to be cheap and stiff.
good beginner watches for under $100 are not hard to come by.
Timex has some nice (and similar looking to this) watches for under $50
dont worry about the straps, they can be swapped easily or purchased with other ones.
Casio is another good cheaper brand
if you want to look into mechanicals, a really nice entry level mechanical watch brand is Orient...they have a slew of different styles, and they are a pretty well respected watch brand on this sub. fit and finish are really nice for the cash. I picked up my Orient mako for under $100 last year with a metal bracelet, and bought this leather strap from clockworksynergy.com for $12.
tl;dr: work in research lab, tips on dressing a little less like an undergrad?
Hi all,
I’m in my mid-twenties, work in an academic research lab (cancer bio), and get mistaken for an undergraduate student all the time. It’s at least somewhat unavoidable, since I’m very baby-faced (a bartender recently told me I look like I’m 17) and I have to be on campus all the time, but I know there are multiple changes I could be making to lessen this image, especially professionally.
Our lab doesn’t have much in the way of a dress code, although most people in the lab wear jeans and closed-toe shoes. Full coverage is required if we’re working with specific hazards (viruses, mice), and even then, I’ve seen people just don the required PPE over any manner of attire. One of our grad students (who, admittedly, rarely does bench work) wears cargo shorts and flip-flops in the summer, while a female post-doc (who works with mice multiple times a week) wears cute skirts with flats most days, usually without leggings. Both of these are considered fine; however, from a safety perspective, I would not feel comfortable showing skin below the waist.
My everyday work attire consists of a pair of straight-leg dark-wash jeans, a plain v-neck t-shirt / blouse / turtleneck, tennis shoes (lightweight cheap athletic ones), basic stopwatch, wedding band, eyeglasses, hair pulled back in a high ponytail, and no makeup other than some brown eyeliner and tinted chapstick. I bring my laptop, travel coffee mug, and lunch in a small Outdoor Products backpack. Let me know if you’d like me to message example photos directly.
Some things I’ve considered:
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I need so much help. Even if I can’t be treated seriously all the time, I at least want to be treated my age. :|
i have an intro that i think is okay!
these ray-bans are pretty rad IMO. you can't go wrong with the classic black/crystal green.
those knock knock day of the week file folders look pretty fun.
this is me tryna look happy. i like my hair right now. i cut it myself a while ago, and it turned out okay! i think i'm a pretty caring person. i like that i'm tall. i think being tall is fun.
/u/warner4qwert /u/irocknroll /u/seatrash
i think the prize breakdown should be around 60% for first place, 40% for second.
i've found that a good way to deal with stress is self-reflection and some basic meditation. people are always so busy, they never take the time to sit down for a second, clear their mind, and let the stress escape them. as a person with some pretty intense anxiety, meditating has helped me a lot with stressful situations.
anyway, good luck at the festival~
Deleted my other post on this as I figured everyone would rather see the pics than a link to the band...
I originally assumed I'd do the stainless band since I have the stainless/silver 360 but have to say the grey leather strap really grew on me while I was trying to figure out what kind of metal bands were out there that'd work.
If it wasn't for the lack of a easier to remove clasp on the leather strap that came with the 360, I might have even kept it on there.
I found after a full day of wearing the leather band though that moisture was getting stuck under the watch due to sweat and hand washing.
Since the leather strap is to much of a pain to quickly remove every time I washed my hands, I'd just not bother.
With the metal band, the quick release clasp on the bottom makes it very quick to remove/loosen the watch to dry under there after each hand washing now.
Here's the matte black version
Here's the stainless steel verson
You'll need to either use the spring bars/pins that came with the watch or buy some like these.
Best Buy also sells the same Pebble Steel bands for the same price as Amazon which is where I got mine from.
Some tips with removal and install. The spring bar/pin holes in the Moto 360 are made from plastic. Be extra careful with removal and putting the new ones back in. If you misshapen or break those holes, you're screwed.
If you don't have a proper spring bar tool like this, you'll need a jewelers sized flathead screw driver.
Getting the existing bands out is the easy part, I found putting the new band back in with the spring bars that came with the leather strap to be a lot more tricky in the metal band. I found the best way was to try and compress the springs on both ends of the bar and go straight into the opening. If you try to put one side of the spring bar in first then compress the other side, it didn't want to fit.
I enlisted my wife with her tiny little hands to assist and it made things a lot easier :P
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
Welcome back!
Averaged MWB and the +4 sister size method both put your near a 38G and 36GG, and these are sister sizes to the 40FF Alegro you linked to which actually looked like a really good cup volume for you despite the loose upper panel.
I would recommend starting with:
Alternatively, you could also scour Bratabase. I currently have the Cleo Alexa in 36GG and Elomi Lara in 38G listed for sale, as well as a Cloe Juna in 34H which I think would fit you pretty decently based off the measurements and the photos you've provided.
Somethings about weight loss sucks, some not so much. I'll give you what advice I've got for the issues I've also dealt with or at least have and idea on how to solve.
The bra issue sucks. I have the same issue. u/HDavethoreauAway gave some good ideas. I would also recommend buying a band too small and using bra extenders.
The belly fat issue I've dealt a little with, but a good friend had a bigger issue with it. My recommendation from what she did is to buy some large spandex for the belly fat. Not with the intention of sucking it all in, but to keep it from hanging or jiggling. Make sure they are loose enough to be comfortable. Think of it as a body bra. One option would be a cheap bathing suit.
Clothing is an issue I can help the most with. First off, as long as you are actively losing weight, buy cheap clothes (if you can). Cheap clothes usually looks fine for only a short time then falls apart. By the time it falls apart you won't need it. Cheap clothes aren't always easy to come by in all sizes, this may or may not be an option.
The actual best option is to start visiting thrift stores. If people wear it, people donate it. Many people donate all clothes as they lose weight, but hold on to nice clothes that are too small. This means you will find more nicer clothes in larger sizes. Thrift stores sell clothes/sizes people donate, so sizing shouldn't be as big of an issue.
Last of all, dresses and skirts. Even if you are not the biggest fan of them, they tend to be more forgiving in how they look while you lose weight. Skirts tend to be cheaper to alter, and a fit flair style will allow you to use a belt even when they really are just too big.
Orbitkey 2.0. Basically a wallet for your keys, really cool and convenient. Leather, rubber, or fabric variants are available, I personally Like the all black leather version.
Casio watch. They’re cheap, minimal and durable.
this digital and this analogue are my personal favourites.
A Leather Valet tray. These are simple stylish leather trays that you or your husband can dump your edc stuff into. The best ones I’ve come across are from Etsy.
Travel wallet. Like this. I’m not sure if this exact product is available in the US, but you get the gist. They keep all the important stuff in one place when you go travelling, passport, cards money, boarding passes etc.
BLF A6 torch this package comes with a battery included. I also found a discount code ‘8a955d’ which I think takes about $5 off. This thing is very bright, durable, and has a pretty small size(it’s not for the pocket, rather for a bag) it is only sold from banggood.com, so it’s manufactured and shipped from China so expect 2-3 weeks shipping. but it is designed from American flashlight enthusiasts and is sure a steal for the price. heres a charger for the battery.
Finally a nice steel water bottle. This is what I have in the 750ml, it’s cheap and simple, again this one is from China, but just any steel water bottle would be fine.
Anyway I hope this helps, I kinda just listed things that I’d like in hope your husband does too hehe. I think they’re generally things that you can’t go wrong with.
Im from the uk so some of the links I supplied might not be relevant to you in the US(I assume), but they’re there so you know what product I’m talking about :)
Haha well I would be way more happy with SoCal weather right now. I can only get out when the roads are clear and even then I still have to take it easy. I'm riding like a grandpa most of the time.
And I got the Emgo travel trunk on Amazon. I can't say enough good things about it. Durable, rugged, easy to install and sells for a great price ($65 shipped with prime). Best of all, they look badass on dual sport bikes. You should definitely get one.
http://www.amazon.com/Emgo-72-32440-Travel-Trunk/dp/B000GVD0VE
You can go beyond your budget for a little bit and check out the Tissot Visodate. It's the first thing that came to mind when I read your post. Available both in Black and White, double sapphire crystal, automatic Swiss movement, can't be wrong!
The Orient Bambino might also fit your description, and it seems to be gaining lots popularity lately. It also comes in a very comfortable price. It's Automatic and available both in black and white, though it does not have Sapphire. Personally I'm in love with the black, also looks terrific with a Honey Calf strap. It's in the style of mid 20th century dress watches though said to be larger than the average size of these, so take a good look at the sizes.
Also, congrats on your graduation and good luck!
I would love that charm bracelet you made with the pink beads. It is gorgeous! The angel wing in a bottle necklace is awesome too. You are very talented. I love beaded necklaces and earrings as well. The kind of things you make are exactly my style. Too bad you don't have an etsy store or something like that. I think that would easily sell. However, you would need time to keep up with demand. I don't have much jewlery but the pieces I do have I wear often. My favorite colors are purple, pink & blue. I would get this [peacock necklace] (http://www.amazon.com/Peacock-Crystal-Necklace-Pendant-Jewelry/dp/B007RD9DS8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=36V58PM2YWEKL&coliid=I2HQVLY4U5NJU3) with matching [Peacock earrings] (http://www.amazon.com/niceEshop-Ancient-Peacock-Earrings-Crystal/dp/B00BNB3AMK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=36V58PM2YWEKL&coliid=I3IKY37S6RXRDE) to pamper myself. I would like to have more jewelery to better accessorize!

So you seem against luggage, but let me tell you that even having 1 top case is so convenient. Especially since you can just open it, throw your crap in & close it. You don't have to worry about anything getting loose either.
I have the full KLR luggage set (Tail bag, saddle bags, & tank bag) since I got it free with my bike (kinda overpriced otherwise IMO but the tank bank is totally worth it.) but I'm thinking of moving to something like this as it's pretty cheap for what it is & pretty popular: https://www.amazon.com/Emgo-72-32440-Travel-Trunk/dp/B000GVD0VE (probably not the cheapest price so I'd keep looking)
That one is also quick release so if you want to only put it on when you know you need it you can leave it off until you need it.
As for bulky stuff I keep 4 bungee cords that I use for things like camp chairs, tents, & sleeping bags.
I'm glad you couldn't find the "Steve Jobs" Seiko honestly. It's a horrendously overpriced, mediocre quartz watch. It is a nice minimalistic style, but you can achieve the same effect for $10:
https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Quartz-Resin-Casual-Watch/dp/B000JNKABW/ref=sr_1_2
This one you got though is pretty awesome, looks great with nice lumed hands and numerals.
I'll let you in on a secret, you can get away with a perfectly affordable backpacks under $100 that will meet most of your needs. Above that it is specific features and looks. People can and have travel for months across Europe with just a Jansport backpack. But a nicer more expensive bag is totally worth it for the features it offers, but you should really KNOW what you want. Some features are must have for some people and totally useless deal breakers for others. I didnt know what bag was perfect for me until I had traveled a while and and tested a few bags.
The low end is Amazon basics gets the job done for cheap if you want to test thing out this will work fine, lacks good padded hip belt so if you're sensitive weight its not as good.
[Osprey Farpoint],(https://www.amazon.com/Osprey-Farpoint-Travel-Backpack-Volcanic/dp/B014EBM3KA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1549003567&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=travel+backpack+osprey) mid tier bag, can be found for less than $100 occasionally. One of the most common backpacking bag around, hood basic travel backpack with great quality and track record.
Chase Reeves does a good comparison of various higher end travel bags if you see something you like you can look for more reviews of it, most will be inside your budget.

I'm half your mom's age, but the way you describe her breasts sounds pretty similar to mine - I'm a cup size smaller than she is at 38E, but I'm also 5'2" and overweight. I've had luck with Panache bras; my favorites are the Tango II balconette and the Jasmine. The Jasmine has stretch lace at the top of the cup, so it's pretty forgiving to full-on-top shapes. I like wearing my Jasmines because they make my boobs stick out further than my stomach, lol!
Well, if you looked into it beforehand then that's a different story, it kind of sounded like you just bought it on a whim because of the discount. If you did the research and knew what you were getting going in and are happy with it, then I'd call it a win.
I personally don't have much of an opinion on DW. It looks nice and it seems to use a Miyota movement which is good, but reviews seem to be hit or miss. I like the style but think that most of the cost of the watch is because of marketing, but then again that's nothing new.
There are a few other brands that have a good reputation like Citizen/Bulova/Skagen and have been around for awhile and offer similar styles. The new Timex Weekender Fairfield is actually nearly identical, and at half the price would have been my choice (plus I love Timex's indiglo feature).
I just answered a nearly identical question in the SQ thread. To quote:
> I've seen this asked before and people typically say to look at military surplus.
> Here are some other options:
> - Craghoppers ($200) ~ recommended to me from another user here. I have no experience, but he liked his a lot and it looked good in fits.
> - Alpha Industries ($160-$200) ~ once again no experience, but people throw this brand around all the time here.
> - Helly Hansen ($208 after applying 20% off promotion) ~ supposedly underrated brand. Looks like a really nice parka for the price.
All of that said, I have to agree with what /u/thesaltyoubreathe said. It might be worthwhile to stretch your price range to $300 or $400 to get a decent quality parka. Otherwise you might have some luck looking through resale ads on grailed or ebay.
Okay, if you've tried flirtelle and you think you need narrow wires, and you're full on bottom, I'd say try Cleo Lucy or Marcie. Marcie is more for even breasts, while Lucy tends to work better on FOB breasts. You could also probably try Freya, which also has narrow wires, and most of their models are FOB compatible. The deco may work for you (it has narrow-ish wires), or one of their padded halfcups may do you well. For cleo, you'll probably want to stick to a 32 band, but you may need to go down to a 30 in some Freya's, as they tend to be stretchier.
You should be able to order these all (although, for some odd reason, I can't find the cleos on nordstrom's site even though I know they carry them) for free shipping and free returns (or maybe try them on in store at) Nordstrom. Also, amazon prime, if you've got it.
These other bras are also recommeded for FOB:
Depending on how FOB you are, the CK Entice may also work for you (although, it has been discontinued, tends to work better for even shapes), and you should probably go up one cup size for it, so 32FF.
Do you live in Southern CA? I've heard good things about Jennette's bras as well as Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack for fittings and bra shopping.
I have a tiny head. I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Ray-Ban-RB2132-Wayfarer-Sunglasses-G-15-XLT/dp/B001UQ71G4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1377656846&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ray+ban+wayfarer
Original Wayfarers will look oversized on your small face. However, New Wayfarers are smaller, and won't make you look goofy. Make sure that - whatever color you pick - you get the 52mm frames, not the 55mm ones.
I have the New Wayfarers, 52mm frames, in black with green lenses. They fit my small face perfectly, and they look great. Best of luck.
So I am looking for a watch like this one linked here which is unfortunately out of stock
Citizen Chronograph, 44mm. I'm fine with a black dial or a blue dial. Going for something similar to a Omega Speedmaster but not exactly. I LOVE the aesthetic of the linked watch. Speedmaster's indications are a little thin for my preference.
Preferably 44-45mm. Although I have a small wrist, I like the legibility of a 44mm. Quartz is preferred (sorry, automatics aren't in my price range).
Under $250 Canadian as well if possible, as that's where I currently am.
Any recommendations for a pilot chronograph with a slide rule? The Seiko Flightmaster is a little too small. Is the Casio Edifice EF527D-1AV good? link Look wise I love it. Again would prefer 44mm, but 42mm should be fine too.
NOTES:
You will have an opportunity to go to the PX prior to the start of basic or right at the beginning of basic. There you can buy stationary to write back home with, your PT shoes, a cheap $30 timex sport watch is HIGHLY recommended. You really don't have to bring much of anything other than the bare essentials. You won't have the time to enjoy much of anything and most everything you'll need will be either issued or you'll have the opportunity to buy it at the PX when you get there.
If you are in the USA, your best bet of trying on some bras in 38HH in a store is Nordstrom. Call your nearest Nordstrom store and have them order in a few bras in 38HH.
I would also phone any lingerie boutiques within 4 hours of you and see whether they have this size in stock. (Chances are high they have one bra, the Elomi Caitlyn in beige or the Goddess Keira in fawn. Or they have one sole bra in 42F and tell you to come in anyway, in the hope of making a sale. Been there, have fallen for that crap.)
I've been through all of this and in the end I just gave up. I order all my bras online. I don't have to drive several hours to a boutique with a shitty selection and pay full price for an ugly bra. Instead I look up the newest collections from Elomi, Goddess and Panache, make a list of what I like and then try to find a good price for those bras. I try the bras in the comfort of my own home without a sales assistant breathing down my neck and telling me how great it looks and I can think a few days whether I really want to keep the bra.
I can also try the new bra with all my shirts and see which shirts it works with. Does the lace show through? Is the beige pale enough to work for my pasty-white skin and not show through my work uniform white button-downs? Is the gore low enough to wear with that new gorgeous teal and silver shirt with the low plunging neckline?
The way I see it, you are not really buying the bra online, instead you are paying a deposit to the online shop so that you can try the bra in the comfort of your own home, maybe even giving it a test drive of around 30 min while you do some light chores around the house, simulating everyday wear.
You only really bought it when you decide to keep it, rip the tags off, give it a rinse to wash the starch out and then put it on for a 10+ hour day.
So maybe consider taking advantage of the amazon sales and order a few 38HH bras through amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003P9WFVU/
https://www.amazon.com/Elomi-Nina-Bra-38HH-Sand/dp/B018Y74DPI/
Since you wanted wire-free:
https://www.amazon.com/Royce-Womens-Sadie-Wire-Free-Comfort/dp/B00INRYP12/
https://www.amazon.com/Royce-Charlotte-Wire-Free-Cotton-Lined-Comfort/dp/B004EKMOCY/
The Elomi Smoothing that you got in 44FF is also available in 38H and might fit you in that size too because it runs large in the cup. It is sadly currently sold out on amazon, the only sizes that are available are 38GG and 40GG. If you want to try it in 38H, you'd need to order it elsewhere.
That'll be a pretty tight price point for something "cool". As far as sizing, look in the watch description for the case size. 40mm or smaller will work fine on a small wrist. From there, I'd go to Amazon and search Men's Timex Watch -- that's one of two companies who make decent watches in the $20 range. The other is Casio but they tend to make bigger watchs that might be too large for your wrist.
Something like https://www.amazon.com/Timex%C2%AE-Reader-Brown-Leather-T20041/dp/B000B55AEA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473330695&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=men%27s+timex+watch will be a classy looking every day option and it's well sized for your wrist. If you want a digital readout, you could go with something like https://www.amazon.com/Timex-T78677-Classic-Gold-Tone-Expansion/dp/B000SQM5PE/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473330695&amp;sr=8-11&amp;keywords=men%27s+timex+watch for a retro look, or something like https://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5E901-Ironman-Watch-Black/dp/B000AYTYLW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473330695&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=men%27s+timex+watch for more features.
A properly fitting bra will support and separate your breasts without pressing them too tightly to your chest. It sounds like that's what you're looking for. What I would recommend is first to use the calculator and then post a measurement check with your measurements so the community here can help you find your ideal fit. I think it's likely that the bras you have been wearing are too large in the band and too small in the cup, which is just a recipe for discomfort.
Once you have found your ideal size, a bra with a nice snug band and soft underwires will be super comfortable. Personally my most comfortable bras are from Comexim, but there are other brands with pretty soft underwires too.
Another option is to go with an encapsulation-style sports bra. These bras are designed to completely surround your breasts and hold them snugly in place without compressing them. The gold standard for this type of bra is the Panache Sport. I get the "oozing" problem you describe with some compression-style sports bras, but the Panache keeps everything in place nicely.
Hey! 34H chiming in! This bra has a million sizes (including yours!) and I absolutely love it! Of course its a personal pref thing, but just in case you need something with good value and good quality-- http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Tango-Balconette-3251/dp/B002MAPJCA :)
It's one of these. They're AMAZING! Highly recommend. Great support, and really cute, too.

I've been carrying this satchel for about 2 months and it's not annoying to carry at all. One day I may upgrade to the Saddleback leather satchel but this cheap one is doing me fine for now.
It sounds like she might be something like a 34J or 36HH? If so, you should be able to help her to find something fairly easily. If she doesn't want them 'up here' in her face, look for something full coverage so she doesn't feel like they are all on show as she might with a plunge or balconnet.
When you've measured, how about trying the Panache Andorra - the lace is pretty stretchy so I think it works for a number of shapes, and comes up to a J cup. You could order it from Amazon or Nordstrom and get free returns - it's cheaper elsewhere but the free returns is wonderful when you are trying sizes.

So I had twins (and was bigger to begin with). They do get crazy big after your milk comes in, but that crazy level of engorgement doesn't last forever (it last about 2 months for me).
I would recommend soft stretchy bras for that period of time, and save any underwire purchases for when your size has stabilized. You're also super sensitive and need to sleep in them so it's also great for that.
For now they also sell these to get you by with your old ones.
Not sure what Irish weather is like, but I recently purchased an Alpha Industries N-3B parka and it looks/feels awesome. I can wear it with just a t-shirt under in 30F and be fine, so layering would make it great for all (cold) weathers. This is the link to the US amazon store just so you can get an idea: http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Industries-Mens-N-3B-Parka/dp/B0080NI6A0/ref=pd_sim_a_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=03B3XMPFTHAKBGYCD3MP
HI!!!! HOW ARE YOU??? I LOVE WORKING! My favorite thing was actually applying and getting a job... well, getting three offers and then picking one... and I don't regret the one I picked :)
this can be used!
The Cleo Juna has some lace along the top of the cup and isn't too full coverage (but is otherwise boring).
The Deco Plunge is "boring" as far as decoration, but does give nice cleavage w/ less coverage.
The Tango II seems like a fun nude bra, but it's not. It's evil (in this size rage).
I don't think the Natori Feathers comes in your size, unfortunately, because I think it hits all of your points.
The Gossard Superboost lace plunge looks cute, but I haven't tried it (and I think I remember people saying Gossard is weird re shape/sizing?)
The Freya Carys is not beige as in nude color, but is a more neutral color and also comes in longline.

Personally I’d recommend something like the Osprey Porter, only $40 over your budget, but comes with Ospreys ironclad lifetime warranty. (Literally no questions asked, could be 15 years old and they will replace it).
Osprey Packs Porter 46 Travel Backpack, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X194J4S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gmMRDbCJWTWA8
But more budget friendly option is something like an Amazon Basics.
AmazonBasics Carry On Travel Backpack - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J24H2K0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wmMRDbJKRVNXR
I’d strongly recommend shelling out the extra $40 for the Osprey tho
Sure. The Japanese are kings of value at that price point, and you'll have a fair share of selections from a few brands, types of movement (automatic/mechanicals, quartz, UHF quartz, solar quartz, etc.) and styles (diver, field, pilot, chrono, etc.) all good for day-to-day wear.
A good place to start is look through listings from Seiko, Orient, Citizen, and Casio's Edifice line.
A few examples:
Seiko SNZG13 - automatic field/military style
Orient Defender - automatic field style - also comes in blue
Seiko SNZF17(black) / SNZF15(blue/pepsi bezel) - automatic diver style
Seiko SNZH55/53/57 - automatic black, blue, and black/gold diver style
Various Seiko chronographs on bracelets - quartz movements
Orient Mako II and Ray II - automatic diver style watches with an upgraded movement over the Seiko automatics
Various Casio Edifice chronographs on bracelets - quartz movements
There's a lot more not limited to these brands as well - I'm sure other people can recommend you something nice. I've excluded models not on a bracelet - but if you change your mind you can also look through Citizen and Bulova's offerings.
Here's the current buying guide on $0-$250 watches.
If you really like the MVMT, just buy it, but do so knowing what you're actually getting. The particular model you linked has a chronograph but doesn't even have markings on the subdials, so the chronograph is kinda pointless - how can you tell which dial is which?
I know you want mechanical, but I'd really recommend a simple, cheap quartz instead. I traveled there recently with my Ironman, and it let me set two arbitrary time zones, was water- and shock-resistant, and the Indiglo light was a godsend in the overnight flights. Plus it didn't stand out so much that I was an easy target for theft (at times we walked through the seedier parts of Mumbai).
Cheer up, at least you didn't lose your legs in Vietnam! (This is something my friend Michelle often tells me when I'm feeling blue.)
For $0.65
For $0.93
For $1.14
I'm especially in love with the peacock items, I have a giant peacock tattooed down my left leg <3
Never went to basic, but after PT there was time to shower/bathroom/getdressed/etc at Field Training. I would say yes, also if you really need to go, you can go to the latrine. Probably just need to ask an MTI (using the correct verbage) and bring a wingman/buddy.
I guess the last PT test is the only one that matters, I wouldn't really stress out that much with MTI getting after you while at PT... Insert excellence in all we do statement here. After a little while you get used to MTI yelling at you, just have to remind yourself what the big picture is (why are they yelling), and if you can show MTI's you have your head screwed on straight you will be good to go.
I don't care about restaurants. We ate at Chick-fil-A and Red Robin (I think) in the airport (no town passes for ROTC kids).
This is like the unofficial watch of the military. Even the dental students who went to COT have them. By far the most common watch I've seen (and used). It can light up, and it can beep (although you probably want to turn off the beep when you are just pressing buttons). Just don't set an alarm to go off early.
*Take every I said about Basic with a grain of salt. Just a punk ROTC grad with no prior enlisted time.
Hey, congrats on the new bike! I've got a 2014 as well, and this is the case I have on mine. It's lockable and big enough to fit a jacket, groceries, tools, etc. Once unlocked and you are home, it comes off the back easily to be carried inside. You'll have to drill some holes to mount the base, but it's not that big of a deal. Good luck, brother!
This Alpha Industries hooded fishtail which only appears to be available in Europe but can be obtained thru third party sellers at Amazon or Ebay. Its fairly pricy but I like the way it look. If I don't go for that one I will probably get the Alpha N3B Slim Parka which is aesthetically less pleasing to me but probably just as functional. Anyone have experience with the first one?
Well it's usually best to measure according to /r/ABraThatFits, so I'd recommend remeasuring according to their standards first.
Other than that, if she really is a 30E, there are plenty of options. This bra in floral and 30E is $22.10
Black Ombre in 30E is $28.29
Fuchsia 30E is $25.89
Plum 30E is $27.34
30E for $20 and amazing cleavage
30E in blue/black for $21.99
30E in black/purple $24, needs to be added to cart to show actual color
30E china blue is $28.93
30E is equivalent to a 30DDD
Malibu blue 30DDD is $21.83
Honestly, if she's spilling out of a 32DD, a 30E probably won't be much better, since the cups are the same volume. She might need a 30F. As I said, try again using the /r/ABraThatFits method.
Um. So yeah, I goofed up a little. It's actually not a Freya, it's a Panache. This one: http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Underwired-Sports-Black/dp/B005VNFJFW/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417130729&amp;sr=1-1
Derp. Sorry. :P Back to square one, I guess.
Anyway, I do have pretty significant gapping at the top of the cups - maybe about an inch? Though maybe I should go down to a GG instead... a little gapping won't bother me too much.
Thanks for the input about the balcony/plunge bras. :D
I know I already left another comment, but I had another thought I wanted to be sure to share with you. You might want to switch from compression to encapsulation styles. Compression (just like it sounds) pushes everything in, so that may be contributing to your breathing problems. The Panache Sport I mentioned in my other post is an encapsulation-style. Hope some of the advice on here helps you!
Hi, a couple of things before you give up on that bra.
First, clasp it behind yourself, you're not supposed to be able to turn it around. It will eventually end up in either a stretched out bra or broken wires.
Second, bras need a little while to break in, like new shoes do. Give it a good wash in the sink, air dry it, and wear it around the house for smaller amounts of time. Mine usually take between 2 week and a month. Get yourself some bra extenders to make it feel more comfortable in the mean time. You can find them everwhere from department stores, Target, the dollar store, fabric stores, or online.
Third, I agree with the others that not all stores size properly. Give us a post with your measurements and we'll help you out. =)
Welcome back, make some time to show up around here more!!

Awesome!
Okay, you might like the [Orient Bambino]
(http://www.amazon.com/Orient-ER24005W-Bambino-Leather-Automatic/dp/B008VBUZ2I)
Or the Orient Esteem (I like the open heart, so you can see the movement working)
These are both automatic mechanical watches meaning they'll wind themselves and usually only require a service every 10 or so years.
Orient is a division of Seiko and it's a nicely regarded brand
You're really limited to Orient and Seiko if you want an auto under $200. Not saying they're bad choices, they're actually pretty great. But I get the feeling they're not your thing.
In that case, how about the Timex Weekender Chrono line?

Post ABTF, and my biggest go-tos are the Goddess Michelle in Sand and the Panache Andorra in Pearl. I don't really care about seams showing through my clothes, and honestly the specific seaming on Michelle is what makes it fit me so well. I'm more bothered about coloured bras showing through my clothes, so I don't wear some of my other bras as often, but I also love some of Freya's half cup bras--they have such cute patterns!
I use the following rack and top box. Had them installed for a year now and they've worked great for a few camping trips on rough roads. Both are an easy install and they couple well together. Box is easily removed with a key, otherwise it's always locked when closed. The rack was quite a bit cheaper when I got it.

I'm getting a 32F for you, my dear. If you do prefer the 34 band, the sister size would be a 34E (equivalent to a 34DDD in Victoria's Secret). But I do suggest trying the 32 to see how it feels.
For full on bottom/projected/average root, I'd recommend:
These are in order from very narrow and projected to average width and somewhat projected, so you may have to experiment to find the style that's right for you.
If I were you, I'd try the Arabella and Cleo in a 32F, and the others in either a 32F or a 34EE depending on your preference.
Hope this helps! Be sure to post a fit check when you get your bras so we can troubleshoot any potential problems. :)
I agree, instead buy from amazon but make sure that they are either sold by amazon itself or fulfilled by amazon. They will most likely be real and even if they are not amazon has great customer service and will definitely refund you.
The difference in size is probably not due to using inches instead of centimeters. It is probably because you pulled the tape more tightly on one occasion than the other, leading to smaller measurements and of course therefore a smaller predicted size.
Your measurements point more to 34G US (or 34F in UK sizing) than 34DDD, to me, especially since you say you're projected. The bras you bought were small in the cups for you, thus your breast tissue had to go somewhere and some of it went in the band which makes the band feel too tight. Meanwhile, your breasts are seeking more room in the cups, so they can push the cup away from your body, giving the appearance of gaping.
Since you say you appear projected, I have to say minimizers won't give you the best fit because they don't suit a projected shape--they're shallow and wide, and so the pull tissue a little closer to the chest and give a slightly minimized appearance. But this works best for fit if the wearer's shape is also shallow and wide, which does not sound like you.
Because you're leery of the 34 band, what I'll recommend you try is the Panache Andorra bra in 36E UK. This is a sister size up to the UK size of 34F (that would be equivalent to US 34G). The cups of 36E hold the same volume of breast tissue as 34F on a larger band, but the thing about the Andorra is that it runs snug in the band, so it's kind of a compromise between a 34 band and a TTS 36 band. Hopefully this explanation makes sense to you, but if you're confused by anything feel free to ask questions.
great watch if you want a really nice looking band for it get the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8C81BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1, I got it for my moto 360 and it looks amazing.
I would reccomend an orient bambino for slightly more formal wear. Their ine of divers would also look god for daiy wear.
http://www.amazon.com/Orient-ER24004B-Bambino-Automatic-Mechanical/dp/B008VBUZDW
Seiko 200m Divers are also a great every day choice for a more casual watch. http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKX009K2-Divers-Automatic-Watch/dp/B000OP1M6M/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1427746893&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=seiko+dive
If you don't like any of these, I reccommend looking around online. Wornandwound.com has a good database of watch reveiws, some of which fit your budget and you can always check /r/watches .
haha, you seem to know alot about this, i have a funny feeling this is your site, lol. :p
You ask for another brand, i would go with Braithwait.com. Also check out Skagen as well. Personally I like to hop on AliExpress and get these watches for $5 lol. Yes they may break, but they last a year and i buy a new one with the same look! lol. :p and ofcourse this:
https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Weekender-Fairfield-Quartz-Casual/dp/B0194L6AMC/ref=sr_1_9?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467998723&amp;sr=1-9&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;keywords=Timex+weekender
Orient's white dial Bambino is $113, they're usually $140-$160 in other colors.
The Orient Mako and Ray and Seiko SKX007 are great 200m divers, while the Seiko SNZF and SNZH are great faux-divers with 100m water resistance and attractive designs.
The orient is <$200 on amazon.
The model's called the Bambino, just a month or two ago they came out with a different face for it as well. Probaby not the best price for it but here it is for reference. Trying to emulate an even older watch feel from the 20's-30's I think.
And yes, I do know that "affordable" is a relative term, haha. the original Omega devilles go for $300-500, then add $100-200 for servicing. Personally, $200 is really my upper limit for a watch at this point.
For the average person, a quartz movement is the best option. It is typically more convenient than automatic, and almost always more accurate. Some of the best quartz watches in your price range come out of Bulova and Citizen, and I might throw Casio in there too. I own and love my Bulova Precisionist, which has a souped up quartz movement and was under $200.
If you know or expect that your boyfriend would be interested in a mechanical movement, then the first place you should look is Seiko (this is mine) or Orient (the Ray and the Bambino are popular). They offer very high quality pieces for reasonable prices. Bulova also makes some mechanical pieces.
EDIT: You mentioned that he wants a stainless steel band. I expect what he's talking about is a "diver," which often comes on a bracelet (think James Bond's Omega Seamaster, or the ubiquitous Rolex Submariner). If that's the case, I would look hard at Seiko divers like the SKX007, 009, 173, etc. and Orient divers like the Ray or Mako. These are all well within your given price range, but for a bit extra you can look at the Steinhart Ocean.
Going to repost my comment from the last thread like this.
Just a heads up:
You can pick up many colors on Amazon for a list price of $83 and under, at which point you can apply the the 20% off coupon and get them for $65 and under.
Perks of ordering from Amazon include guaranteed authenticity and fulfillment, as well as hassle free returns (if orders are fulfilled by Amazon)
unpopular opinion to follow:
Personally, I don't understand the G shock for every day wear. For going to the gym or sporting activities, sure - but i'd prefer something less...gaudy? for edw.
For a proper adults watch and a really reasonable price point look to Orient, specifically the bambino or mako to get you started.
I've seen men at nicer events wearing g-shocks and it always strikes me as what happens when you tell a child to 'wear whatever you want', you shouldn't be too surprised when they come out of their room wearing a spider man costume.
/2cents.
If you're into a 'chunkier' design, I would reccomend the Suunto Core It's a bit higher than your price range but it's got a more streamlined look, I have one and it's tremendously useful if you're active / outdoorsy.
I'm usually not the winner. When I do win stuff I get suppppper excited though!!! It happens occasionally because everyone's a winner at some point, right? Awesome peacock necklace!!!

I mean, ok, if we were to compare Orient and Seiko, I think Orient wins overall.
For instance, the Orient Ray II is $159:
https://www.amazon.com/Orient-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless-Diving/dp/B01AK5TQE0/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510583470&amp;sr=1-1&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;psd=1&amp;keywords=orient+ray+II
The Direct Seiko Competition (SKX009) is $203:
https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKX009K2-Divers-Automatic-Stainless/dp/B000OP1M6M/ref=sr_1_1?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510583493&amp;sr=1-1&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;psd=1&amp;keywords=seiko+skx
The Orient gets you a bit better bang for the buck with hacking and handwinding. Something that the Seiko doesn't give you. Now if we look at the look at Seiko's cheaper option, the SNZF15 at $139:
https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Stainless-Steel-Automatic-SNZF15/dp/B001ELSSOO/ref=sr_1_16?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510583493&amp;sr=1-16&amp;nodeID=7141123011&amp;psd=1&amp;keywords=seiko+skx
The Seiko SNZF15 doesn't hack or handwind, has only 100m water resistance, and although I haven't seen the two side by side, I'm willing to bet that Orient has slightly better quality materials/finishing than the Seiko 5.
Now the amusing thing about the Invicta is this, it uses Seiko's own movement that they use for $200-800 watches, yet they pack it in watches that come in under $100. Their quality and materials aren't even that bad, no worse than Seiko 5!
Aww, your emoticon is so sad! The Panache Sport has kind of padded wires? In my experience, it's not great at separation and it's very full coverage, but looks like it gives a good shape/support in your size range. FYI, generally people report the band runs firm and the cup runs small, so you might want to try a 36H/38GG as well as your normal size.
Projected, seamed bras don't have to make your boobs look like cones or cylinders. They can look pretty round (most of my bras are very projected, unlined cups, and give a nice shape). The main problem is that they don't make many bras like that in your size range.
I just looked though, and it seems that they make Panache Andorra in 40D. It is a bra with medium-width wires and medium projection (though I'm not 100% sure how it scales in your size) that suits even top- and bottom-fullness, so it should be a lot more projected than your current bras, but without a lot of danger of being pointy. If you try it, I would suggest not getting the black, because black bras tend to run a bit smaller (something about black dye sometimes makes them less stretchy). Panache bands are typically pretty firm/true-to-size, and since they don't make C-cups, getting a 42 isn't an option.
Happy birthday! Here's my least expensive item
And here's the second-least expensive too because the first is a functional, practical thing and sometimes you feel like gifting something fun instead.
Nordstrom Rack can be quite hit or miss for sizes out of the matrix (aka the sizes that are most easily/readily found at most if not all stores).
UK brands are what you want to look at - not only are the sizes you're measuring at not available in any US brand, but boring/plain styles and neutral colors are actually quite rare in UK brands.
As for cleavage, most people only get buttcrack cleavage in poorly fitting bras. The cleavage you see Victoria's Secret models have is a combination of their natural breast shape and the fact that they are all wearing bras that are too small.
For projected with even fullness, I'd recommend checking out any of these: Cleo Hettie, Panache Andorra, and Fantasie Rebecca
u/xuenylom u/noys Do you have any recs for spacer or molded cup bras that are good for even fullness that come in 32G and 32GG?
I wear a Panache underwire sports bra. I'm a 30GG, so I need the support. And it does a pretty good job. I had to size down to a 30G in the sports bra because of shape issues, though.
Eta: I got mine from Amazon here http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Underwired-Sports-Black/dp/B005VNFJFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451699304&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=panache+sports+bra
Sounds like a solid plan. You might want more portable luggage if you're doing carry-on only, check out the newer lines from AmazonBasics and their competitors. They are super light and open like a piece of luggage. The one I have has been a life saver as I move around every 3-4 weeks.
Your insurance question will give you a wide range of responses. Check out the previous posts from the last week or two here. If you can get catastrophic-only coverage with a decent deductible, that could be a good option. For things like losing your cell phone, breaking a tooth or even a broken bone - you might be better off just paying out of pocket in Mexico.
Finding your perfect accommodations is the next step. Airbnb is the favorite but look into Facebook groups and book a month+ at a time if that suits you.

Funny you mention that I was just checking that one out. I did find one I really like.
This Orient Bambino. I've seen nothing but praise for them. I might settle on this one, but I'm going to do some more reading.
And like people brought up in that Armani thread, I would like to own a watch from a real watch company. I have a Seiko from my parents for my confirmation back in, what, 2007? But I want a more simple watch and one that looks more to my taste.
I bought these but I'm not thrilled with them. The quality is fine, but the spacing doesn't really work and I can sometimes feel them scratching against my back - not on every bra, but some, just depends on how it lines up. I'm not really looking to extend my bra bands so much as reinforce the hooks. The way the spacing is on these, they invariably add about 1/4 of an inch which is fine when a bra is brand new, not so much on my older bras.
These Maidenform extenders are my favorite, but they're not as affordable to buy in bulk.
Nice, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Looks like there is another version with a different font as well. Think I prefer the second.
I love this watch with a slide rule is an awesome aviator watch.
It's also worth noting that (IMHO) Seiko, Citizen and Orient ALL seem to offer up very sterile pictures of their products to resellers. There are watches I've been totally turned off to online, but love in person. Do Google image searches for watches you're on the fence about to see them in a different light. For example, take a look at the pictures of an Orient Bambino on Amazon (fairly bland) compared to the beautiful pictures of the same piece on Worn & Wound. Like night and day!
Just something to keep in mind!
Seiko 5 is a solid watch.
Orient Ray is one of my favorites.
Hope it helps.
As always, you can ask /r/watches for more detailed opinions, but in terms of style it looks fine.
For $125 I'd recommend some version of the seiko 5 as a nicer automatic, but if you like the commando go for it.
Thanks for the input! by glasses do you mean sunglasses? I will get some better pics. I know I need to update my wardrobe and I am currently working on getting in better shape. I just haven't decided whether or not to keep the beard but I appreciate the advice.

If you're looking for metal, this is a really nice one
I'm also in NEPA and a 30FF !! Ok, sorry, I get excited when I see other fellow NEPA'ers here. Anyway! There are absolutely no specialty stores here and it makes me sad =/. My method so far (I have amazon prime) is ordering a bunch online in different brands and styles, then shipping back what doesn't work. It seems like a huge pain to most people, but I don't think it was that bad. Plus with amazon, you can schedule the UPS people to pick up returns at your house. Nordstrom.com also has free shipping, I just found that amazon is cheaper.
Another option is making a trip to NYC or Philly for a day, finding a specialty store and trying a bunch on then either buying there or ordering online when you get home. I'm sort of an even shape with avg. projection and my favorite so far is my panache andorra.
orient, seiko and casio make solid products. I don't own a watch less $120 so I can't speak to your price range. But if I were you I would save a little more and get a watch I really want rather than settle. If you aren't buying a quarts and I were you I would probably save for this
Thank you.
I will have to head over to nordstroms to try them out.
You said "depending on your shape". Can you elaborate please?
EDIT: I was reading the reviews for one of them on Amazon and people were saying that they are sized to small. Is that just because they ahvne measured themselves properly? Does Cleo's sizing match the number we cam up with here?
http://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B00BKZXPZ6/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1
EDIT2: Which one of the brands at nordstrom have sizing that matches the numbers here? And which has the 3-part unpadded that you recommended?
https://www.amazon.com/Timex-Unisex-TW2P91100-Fairfield-Slip-Thru/dp/B0194L6AMC plus a tan leather band from Amazon (shouldn't need to spend more than another $20)
The Fifth/The Horse/DW/Rossling & Co/Braithwait/etc all buy the same $3 watches from the same factory in China, put $5 bands on them and sell them for $150. Such watches barely last more than a year.
The Timex, on the other hand, is a known manufacturer with a strong legacy of making robust, quality watches at low prices.
For a $100 quartz, I would go with a Casio. You can get one with a chrono and a slide rule, for about $100.
You can get something a little less busy, like a Casio Edifice, which is solar powered. The good thing about this is you never have to worry about batteries.
And yes, Casio is a reliable brand. Nothing to brag about to watch snobs, but very good bang for the buck.
It's an ancient art passed down from KLR rider to KLR rider. I recently came into some money, so I splurged on the $60 locking trunk from Amazon. Thankfully, it still retains the all-plastic soul of the milk crate. However, it is fancy enough that all my friends keep calling me things like, "moneybags," and asking me to buy them gas or lunch...
Looks like the price jumped up to $139 on that model while I was typing this up. Anyway, a few things to inform this decision:
Dappered's notes on this exact watch.
Dappered's notes on this watch with the white face instead.
Dappered's notes on the original Bambino.
Worn & Wound on the Bambino Original
Worn & Wound on the Bambino Vintage
It's a lot of money for a quartz watch. You're paying a lot of money to have Armani written on your watch. The Orient bambino in black is around the same price, but is mechanical (40mm):

http://www.amazon.com/Orient-ER24004B-Bambino-Automatic-Mechanical/dp/B008VBUZDW
This Citizen is roughly the same look, but is solar, so you won't have to worry about battery changes for a while (37mm):
www.amazon.com/Citizen-BM8240-03E-Eco-Drive-Stainless-Leather/dp/B000EQS1D8/
Seiko has a similar solar (37mm): www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNE049-Stainless-Steel-Solar/dp/B004400ZCK/
42mm can be big, depending on your build/wrist, though big is 'in' right now.
You say you like technology, I have a Citizen Nighthawk which I like. It's big, and the dial can be a bit busy: http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-bj7000-52e.html
What about chronographs? (Stopwatches)

Different price ranges!
Also, you might want to look into vintage seamasters. Many have a similar look
Good luck!
This owl pocketwatch for $2.45 + free shipping, or this octopus necklace for $0.99 + free shipping, i can put them onto hemp jewelry and put them in my shop!
Buy an digital timex if you're going to wear a watch under $1000 and want to look like a "big boy". Many CEOs / finance executives still wear their digital Timex from their trading days, which has led digital watches to become a popular look in high finance and other wealthy circles.
ex: http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5E901-Ironman-Watch-Black/dp/B000AYTYLW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417311427&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=timex+ironman
If you want something cheap, my KLR came with this when I had it. It's not 100% waterproof but can survive downpoors pretty well.
The Ronstan Clear Start is THE sailing watch. I have raced dinghies for a long time, and that is the way to go. I don't like big watches, so I wear a Timex Ironman. No real reason to get anything fancier than a waterproof watch with the countdown timer. The Clear Start can sync the timer, though, which is great.
Try panache underwire sports bra.
It comes in so many sizes and is great for high impact. I couldn’t recommend it more! I think they also make a non wired one if that’s what you are looking for, I’ve never tries that though.
https://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Underwired-Sports-Black/dp/B005VNFJFW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1538923190&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=panache+underwire+sports+bra&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41z%2Bal%2Bc7yL&amp;ref=plSrch
I for my part go with this casio for almost 2 years now. My absolute favorite. Also have this one and considering buying a) or b).
Definitely going to buy this Braun watch, either in white or black. Iconic.
Get your zoo on gurl! Have fun :)
also on amazon :) with free shipping/returns with prime!
Have you considered a Uniqlo down coat? They have some good choices under $200 that should keep you warm this winter. Also check out the Alpha N-3B.
Is that the Natick Uniqlo, by the way? I swear I've taken a fit pic in front of that exact mirror.
I think you'll be fine in a 34. The extender is for just in case and while you transition to a smaller band. You can get something like this. Personally, I went from a 36 band down to a 30 band! The difference in firmness definitely takes a little while to get used to, so even if the 34 seems really tight I urge you to try it out for a week or so before writing it off.
Should I get this Hollister Coastal Trail Parka or the Alpha Industries N-3B Slim Fit Parka? Looking for something warm and relatively slim fitting. I like the prices too. Also for the Alpha Industries parka, should I go for black or replica blue?
Yup. Silver or black on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Pebble-Steel-Metal-Watchband-Packaging/dp/B00L8C81BY/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1410360537&amp;sr=1-1-catcorr&amp;keywords=pebble+steel+band

Alternatively they sell these at Best Buy stores for the same price.
I use the Amazon Basics carryon backpack currently with my Cougar QBX ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J24H2K0/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). For LAN party trips, I am able to fit everything except the monitor in one of these.

Thanks for the contest! And if I'm so lucky, surprise me :)
Casio and Timex both have decent digital watches in that range. For an analog, Vostoks are great looking if you don't mind that they can gain/lose alot of time in a day otherwise Timex and Seiko has some good basic stuff that you could put a metal or rubber band on if it doesn't come with it already. Outside of that if all you can spend is $100 most of what you'll find either gonna find are cool looking but flimsy pieces or decently made but basic watches. If you can up your budget even to $150 your options from Orient, Bulova, and Citizen open up a little bit.
Might be worth checking out the AmazonBasics Carry-on. Looks pretty similar to my eBags Weekender but at sub $50, pretty tough to beat if you just need a bag for stateside travel.

Those are some nice looking aviators. But with my experience with Ray Bans, I could not be happier. I bought some New Wayfarers <a>http://www.amazon.com/Ray-Ban-RB2132-Wayfarer-Sunglasses-G-15-XLT/dp/B001UQ71G4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1320119612&amp;sr=8-1&lt;/a&gt; Had them a few months. Could not be happier. Highly recommend them. But if they are not your style, Ray Ban also has some very good quality aviator style glasses. Hope I helped!
Looks like amazon has similar pricing, more colors/sizes, and probably cheaper if you don't have tax or if you use a credit card for cash back.

My stance on this as a watch enthusiast: the thing about watches is that they don't need to be expensive to be good looking, decent/high quality and from a reputable brand. The Timex Fairfield looks exactly like a DW watch at 1/3 the price and easily better quality.
Seikos, Orients, Casios, Timex routinely get upvotes along with the Rolex and the Omegas. People shit on "fashion" watches is like people shitting on a $50 t shirt from Zara. Unless it's a unique piece (see my comment history on the Slow watch, $300 is wayy too much for them but I'd totally get it on sale), don't buy crappy fashion quartzes.
Here is a thing!
Pugs are awesome !
For those bigheads out there, 55mm Wayfarers are ~$81 on Amazon right now.

Not sure if they're MFA friendly but I rock them.
Yasss! Get yourself this bra. It's in UK sizing though so make sure you aren't using US sizing. And it runs a little tight so you might have to sister size up for comfort. But it's true, it keeps those things in their place.
bacon wallet?
Bacon is meat candy.
All my items are in euros so with shipping included anything 4 euro or less should be about 10$ surprises are nice if its not too much trouble for you. ^ -^
Pretty sure it’s this one.
This Casio is less than $100 on Amazon. I love mine!
As for the solid links I think so, but the end links on this Nighthawk-esque Casio Edifice look stamped.
The only reference I can find to Casio and solid end links is to this watch and its color variants. I would also like to add that is is very size adjustable. I have small wrists @ 6.25" and removed several links to get it to my size, and still have three more I could remove.
RSSP Women's Ladies Bronze Tone Owl Hunter Case Floral Necklace Pocket Watch. I hope this works because I am on my phone and don't how to use reddit on my phone ha
I was watching this video and recognised his watch almost immediately, I actually own an SNZ17K but I just thought it was nice that he's using a budget watch while he works in his workshop, he mentions owning a Speedmaster in one of his other videos.
A guy on here told me about it https://www.amazon.com/Emgo-72-32440-Travel-Trunk/dp/B000GVD0VE $65 locks to the bike plenty of room I love it
Amazon has them for around ~$70 if you're interested. Otherwise just wear what you like.
what is the best color for this?
http://www.amazon.com/Alpha-Industries-Mens-N-3B-Parka/dp/B0080NI6A0
Yes, I was also looking at this Bambino. I like the silver style without much else going on since it could go with almost anything.
Other than the RedWhiteBlue strap, I've been thinking about buying this Timex Weekender Fairfield, it's just a tiny bit more money, but it's a Timex, and full face Indiglo. Watch the video on Amazon to see the case etc. You could change out the strap easily for another $10 - $15.
Just wanted to throw in another similar looking (and cheaper) option. I got this one a few months back and it has been great so far.
I just got this on Amazon. Its a little over your $125 mark but not by much
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ELSSOO?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Its a classic :)
Agree with all the r/abrathatfits recommendations, but wanted to add a suggestion she try 2toms SportShield swiped along where the band will sit and under where the clasps will be if she’s going to be exercising in humid or rainy conditions or doing cardio for over an hour. Even the best fitting sports bra (my pick is Panache Underwire over Freya or Shock Absorber) still has the potential to chafe!
Happy birthday! <3

if you are in the US, I bought this Seiko and I am really happy with it: Seiko 5 Blue Dial Stainless Steel Automatic Mens Watch SNZF15 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ELSSOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dgcjzbC6G6MP8
Sure, it’s this one. I usually buy them when the less popular colors go on sale.
Have you thought about trying different styles of bras? I have a little mini wardrobe of bras to wear with different things based on how in-your-face I want my boobs to be. In particular I think unlined bras (I like [Panache Andorra](http://www.amazon.com/Panache-Womens-Andorra-Balconette-Bra/dp/B003P9WFVU but ABTF can give you lots of shape-specific recommendations) give me a nice shape which is uplifted and contained but still soft so I don't feel like I've got two coconuts on my chest.
Agreed!
Specifically, I'd suggest the seiko 5 diver, or the orient ray or mako. They are all very solid budget divers.
Honestly that pack doesn’t look great. No brand and ships from NYC? Smells like a scam / ripoff to me. Check this one out $49:

For $200 you can get a much better watch than that.
The Orient Bambino cost $122 on amazon right now, uses in house mechanical movements and looks so much more expensive than it is.

I think the bacon wallet is kinda nifty.

I did notice that some sizes were cheaper than others. I guess it depends what they've got in stock? Hopefully your size is as cheap! If not, shop around the other styles. I looked for quite a while.
yes, pebble steel band. $20 bucks on amazon.

Hi! I'm your huckleberry! peacocks are pretty Thank you!
They exist. There is even an AmazonBasics one. I think people who travel a lot (enough to care about one bag travel) don't have a problem with spending a few hundred on the right bag.
But for those who are just getting into this and are not sure using what they have or even buying a "cheap" bag makes sense.
Bag I mentioned: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Carry-On-Travel-Backpack-Black/dp/B01J24H2K0
I have been wearing one of these for the last 2 years, still going strong, and been through a lot.
Its very slim and it tells the time.

Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for this! The Marcie (well, at least the one I found on amazon ) looks a little pinky.
Looks pretty similar to this one, but its got a gold face so could be this one? he's wearing one in the Potato Salad video too I think?
With the Panache brand bras (including Cleo and Sculptresse) that I've tried so far, I've needed to go up a cup size, so you might want to try a 38F in the Cleo Minnie. How did you find the band on the Minnie, out of interest?
You could perhaps try the Panache Andorra or Andorra Plunge. There's also the Panache Jasmine and Scupltresse Chi Chi/Flirtini/Paradise. I get a little wrinkling at the top of the Scupltresse bras but it doesn't show under bras.
Haven't worn a watch in a while, interested in grabbing something for every day wear, analogue, non-metal strap.
Pauper budget <$100 CAD
Just a couple I was looking at the other night for something to go on.

You could also look at something like this Seiko or the Casio Edifice. They're a little thinner than the Flyback (10mm vs 12mm) and in the same price range.
Looks like I might barely be able to squeeze it into this thing

Should be receiving the Peli and backpack on Tuesday, I'll try it out and report back
I would like this [pocket watch] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0063AS7S8/ref=aw_ls_2_2?colid=28WV1PZC2FJN7&amp;coliid=II2YTJ3YI991U). I'm an addict!
I think [the Orient Bambino] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008VBUZDW/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?qid=1374468909&amp;sr=1-13&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY190) fits your criteria. Slightly more but probably worth it.
