Help! I just got invited to a black tie event tomorrow and don’t have a dress. I am a plus size woman so about a 16 or 18 and have no idea where I can buy a dress in person in this little amount of time. Any ladies who know which stores have good plus size options in NYC?

I think Rent the Runway has a physical location in Manhattan! I’m not sure if you can try stuff on or it’s just a way to pick up what you already ordered but worth checking out.

Ok well I tried this- and I’m hoping my damn dress gets there tomorrow

Department stores like JCPenney and Macys will also have options

Nordstrom, Macys, Rent the Runway, Bloomingdales. Basically try the department stores! Most of them you can view the inventory online before going in

Got to Nordstrom right away!

Eloquii in Soho!

ETA: sorry, looks like that store closed.

TJMaxx and Marshall’s sometimes have nicer dresses too. I imagine they have some in stock with the holidays happening. Same for Nordstrom rack. If all else fails, hit the department stores suggested

Old Navy has some surprising finds! There is one near the TJ maxx and Marshall’s on 6th Ave

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
