You Have Entered The Group Chat
Welcome to This Is Cute. We text all day about cute stuff so you don’t have to.
(FYI this is Jenna, Jayna, and Verena. We're trying something new here. Maybe just ... go with it?)
Jayna Maleri: Am I the only one with Roucha pants?
Verena von Pfetten: I don't have them, but I want them!
JM: I just ordered a second pair and have to see how they are but if they're as good, I think I'm ready to declare that everyone needs a pair. They're very smart because they have a cute secret inner drawstring that makes the waist adjustable so you can slouch them down or cinch them up but it’s not like a paperbag situation, so they’re super versatile. I'm excited.
VvP: These are the Rouchas, right? And those cords are so gooooood.
JM: Yes! I got them in navy, which is closer to washed black.
VVP: How is the sizing?
JM: I'm a C, but would maybe be a B if I wasn't wearing them baggy city. But I'd be very curious to see how they fit JG because she's petite.
VvP: Wait, their sizing set up is so cute!
Jenna Gottlieb: Those are very good and like 1/3 the price of the Nilis, which I do love very much.
JM: Won't they be cute with a cute sweatshirt and cute sneaks?? And, yes! Price is reasonable! I'll let you know how the cords go and then we all might need to have them. Ugh, speaking of Nili, I'm so jealous of the coat you got JG. (VVP, I saw her wearing it on Monday.)
VvP: Wait, speaking of pants! Pants first! It's quick.
JM: Okok pants first!
JG: Pants first. Because I have none.
VvP: I bought these in a real Tibi spiral before the holidays. (I told you—I’ve started drinking the Tibi kool aid.) And I don't think I've ever gotten more compliments on a pair of pants. And they're 50% off everywhere now so everyone should buy them. I made Mini buy them. They also come in navy. But the CHICEST part is that there is a line of snap buttons up the inside back of the pant, so you can change the hem at your whim. So they can be slouchy for sneaks or slides, but also chic and long with heels.
JM: lol, Kelci asked me about them because she saw them on your IG!! She was telling me that someone at her work was talking about Gossamer and she was like I KNOW HER and then she was like, “Wait, also what's up with those cute pants she had on?”
JG: I want to pet them. I’m excited for slides again. Winter shoes are VERY hard.
VvP: So hard! I've been leaning into cowboy boots lately.
JM: JG, what boots were you wearing yesterday?
JG: Okay, so there was this pair of Co boots I wanted and now I can’t find them again because that brand is impossible to google. I am TRYING.
JM: lol, like Trademark (RIP).
VvP: Brands really need to take that into consideration.
JG: Omg, I did it, everyone hold. I think these would be very good with skirts, but someone with a tinyfoot needs them because there's only a 35 left.
VvP: Those boots are Very Cool. Jen is also a tinyfoot!
JM: Oh, yeah, Mini is a minifoot. She should get those. I got a pair of the Made in USA New Balances. I didn't put them in our chat because I didn't want to be enforced! But they're good!
VvP: Omg Jayna. I have had those in a cart for so long!!!! (lol so long. like a week?) But I can't buy anything! No shopping until we find an apt.
JM: Aren't they a good palette?? So far they hurt my heels, but that's probably temporary.
JG: I love those. okay but now I need a BBS. Black Boot Sub.
VvP: Jenna, what do you want/need? Are these for everyday? For when you have to look kind of nice?
JG: Okay, so I think something that could function like our brown No. 6 cowboys, VVP, but NOT a cowboy.
JM: What about a Loeffler? Or a Comey?
JG: Maybe a loeffler! Maybe a The Row :)
VvP: It's almost time for boob sale season! My sister is obsessed with The Row boots I made her buy last summer!
JG: BOOB SALE! Jayna would love that.
JM: lol boob sale—that's what we'll have in my apartment when me and JP die. Instead of an estate sale.
VvP: I don't love a wood heel on nice boots
JM: I knowwwwww. No one wants a wood heel.
VvP: Truly!! Why does anyone make that striped wood heel? Are Paris Texas too $$$?
JG: Let's see.
JM: I sort of like these for me, though. Because I love a gum sole.
JG: Lolololol. I bought those. Haven't tried them yet because I’m a slopener.
VvP: I love a gum sole. I think those were in a Becky newsletter...??? I also thought about buying them.
JM: Ugh, do I need them??? So I can be cute twins with JG if she can be bothered to slopen??? SLOPEN THEM.
VvP: I don't think Paris Texas is the answer. All too high of a heel/a little too fance.
JG: They are chic. But sorta too lady or something? Not lady, but like. [REDACTED] at fashion week. (I CANT SAY THAT SORRY.)
VvP: I feel like they're very [REDACTED].
JM: Jesus, we gotta redact the hell out of this.
JG: I feel like [REDACTED] was always wearing, like, swathes of cashmere with a high boot. But yes, [REDACTED], too.
JM: Too chubby?
VvP: My boot fomo is off the charts.
JG: They're good!! Maybe a tad chubs.
VvP: Comeys are good!
JG: Comeys would def be a good-to-have.
VvP: Not as clean (or good weird) as the Cos.
JG: Now I'm in a bad place on the Khaite site.
JM: Well, I just ordered the Loefflers and had to close a tab about [REDACTED NEWS STORY] to do it. So at least you're not in that place!
JG: Should we wrap now?
VvP: Ugh, I also wanted to talk about makeup though. Because in my no shopping I have allowed myself to buy some makeup. I'm entering my eyeshadow era and kind of want to DISCUSS.
JM: Next one!!
And if you didn't enjoy it—well, you know what to do. We'll miss you, but we get it—we can't even keep up with our own text thread, let alone someone else's.
