Oh bummer. They were recommended at the old place in the working parents board.

In 2015? Because that’s when I bought them! 😬

ETA: OMG HOW IS 2019 ALREADY?!?

Yep. Probably. I’ve had a pair since then and have bought a couple more since. I started with more of a boot cut and just bought a skinny cut earlier this year

I bought and returned some Retucci pants a few months ago. I’ve had more success with the 89th + Madison work pants on Amazon but the pants i bought don’t have a zipper so that took a minute to get used to.

I like the cigarette pants by Renur. They are pricey but magical.

I was really tempted to get the IKEA loft bed for her but I moved her existing furniture around to allow access to more storage and a more cohesive look. She has a captains bed and 2 of the drawers were blocked against the wall so moving it helped. In her nightstand was a rock collection drawer and a nebulizer stuff drawer so I moved that out and all the baby blankets to get 4 extra drawer space.

Still have to decide on desks because if I do one for her I have to get DS one too and thinking about you storage for the playroom. I’ve been avoiding the toy storage looks but I might just give in because it’s probably more functional than the shelves I have now.

waverly - I think because we have three...We don’t get everyone the same things at the same time. I thought we would because I was an only. Oldest has a desk in her room, the younger two do not. Middle may never have one as she never works in there. DS may get one in Elementary as he actually wants to do homework in his room. We have a dining room and a desk in the playroom and a kitchen table and a desk in the mud room and they can use my office with permission - so weigh up the need overall and the personality of the kid. Just saying....

This is the desk we have for DD. She uses it for her "crafting" stuff since she doesn't really have any homework. You can add a small hutch to it also. It comes in a smaller size (37.74")

2chatter, DS has occasionally started wanting to do homework in his room. DD is artsy, and has all of her art type stuff in her room, so I could see both using it. Now its more a matter of what we could fit in and where that looks OK and not too crowded with furniture.

Oooh for artsy IKEA has a convertible design table to flat desk that’s pretty cool! Kind of like a drafting table desk combo.
