Trying to buy jeans that fit is like an actual fucking nightmare I go here are the measurements of my body because I know exactly what the circumference of my waist and hips are and the size guide goes great! Here’s what size to get based on the circumference of your waist and hips :) and I go so if I buy these they will fit my measurements. Because you’ve put there how many centimetres it is. I know how many centimetres my hips and waist are, are you telling me the truth about your trousers? And they go yep. This is the size of our trousers. And then I go hmm your size guide says these run small I will get the size up because even though I know that based on my measurements I should get the smaller size but I want to be on the safe side. And then I try them on and they’re too fucking small even though the waistband is apparently ten centimetres bigger than my waist.
#KILLING!#also I know buying jeans online that’s on me but I have looked in every single reasonably priced shop in my entire city#and also they almost fit me. not enough to be like eh whatever like I do have to send them back but like they’re not gaping at my waist#it’s the first pair of jeans I’ve tried on that actually fit me at the hips (kind of) but not at the waist#(as in they’re too small at the waist. usually when I try on jeans that fit my hips they’re like ten times too big on the waist)#going crazy. because I think the size up would probably be fit but it’s literally two sizes bigger than my usual size.#how am I meant to fucking know that I need to get two sizes bigger#this shit makes me feel insane. i just want a pair of jeans.

A guide to being the local fashion icon 🐆
1. THRIFT THRIFT THRIFT!
I am someone who lives for unique clothing. My biggest tip ever for anyone who wants to stand out and be more fashionable is to start thrifting. Not only is it beyond fun this is a place where you can get pieces no one else has for CHEAP. nothing feels better than finding ur dream clothing piece at a thrift store. And you can get high quality clothing for way cheaper than a new poor quality item you get online. I’ve thrifted since forever so I might post thrifting tips soon.
2. Do a closet cleanout
It is so important to get rid of clothes you won’t wear anymore. I struggle with this and found myself keeping clothes as “backup” so much that I ended up with filled to the brim drawers full of clothes I find extremely ugly or that I just didn’t ever wear anymore. And this caused me to forget the nice clothes I have and only wear the same outfits all the time because I couldn’t find my other clothes. So GET RID OF CLOTHES!
3. Find your staples
My staples include black boots, leather jackets, denim jackets, and a few good pairs of jeans. Now this can be completely different for you. You need to figure out what the items are most needed for the outfits that go with your style.
4. Avoid shopping on SHEIN
Hear me out. I used to be a shein addict and I know how addictive it can be to buy cute clothes for cheap. But I just don’t find it worth it at all anymore. And I don’t even own any of the hundreds of clothes I bought on Shein anymore because the ones I wore often got ugly crazy fast. I hate to be the one to say it but you can almost always tell when a clothing piece is from shein. Now you do you, but if we’re talking about being that it girl, the one who always looks so cool and stylish and somehow nobody does it like her, buying quality clothing is key. Trust me you can find a better option at the thrift for almost anything you’re buying from shein. Shein also mostly sells clothes that will go out style in a few months.
5. don’t put yourself in a box
Create your style without trapping yourself in an aesthetic. The beauty of fashion is you can always try new things and be creative and express yourself through it. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Wear something a little different every now and then if you feel like it. You don’t need to dress a specific way all the time.
6. Find inspiration
One thing I like to do is to write down the people whose style I like so that I can get inspiration from them and see what I can take away from their fashion choices. Another thing I do is making a Pinterest board for every season every year that way I can look at it when I want ideas.
7. Shop with a goal in mind
A lot of the times we end up buying things we barely wear because we bought it just for the sake of buying something. I like to keep a list of things I really want t and look for those specific things when I’m shopping to avoid buying things I don’t actually want.
8. Add a bit of color to your outfits
Look, I am someone who literally only ever wears neutral colors. But the times I choose to add a bit of color to my outfits it upgrades them so much. I mostly do this with red because it’s pretty much the only bold color I don’t despise. But a bolder color can really make ur outfits stand out so much more. This works best if it’s only 1 specific part of ur look.
9. Accessorize
I know we hear this all the time but accessories really brings an outfit together. You can have the most basic outfit, but if you add some jewelry, a bag, and a pair of sunglasses it suddenly looks not basic at all. Or maybe you add a cute belt. Accessorizing is key to spicing up your outfits.
10. Find a makeup that fits you
Recently I’ve been loving a 90’s makeup look. I think finding a makeup style that suits you changes everything. I don’t feel complete if I’m not wearing some lip combo. So try out different makeup styles and see what you like best.
11. Have one interesting factor in ur outfit
Having one thing that stands out from the rest of ur outfit makes it so much more unique. This can be anything from a pattern, to a texture, to a color etc. having only ONE is important because it makes your outfit interesting but keeps it from looking messy.
Hope this helps u become a fashion diva 🫶🏼🙂↔️
Xo, Ary 💋

What I think each AOT character’s favourite modern day thing would be
Eren
Motorcycles
Idk why he just seems like he’d love to ride around on a fast loud motorcycle
Although he does seem like one of those annoying people who revs the engine really loud and scares the shit out of everyone around him
Mikasa
Life 360
NEEDS to know everyone’s location at ALL times
Armin
Not technically a modern day thing but aquariums
Ik they’ve been around for forever but I’m talking about those aquariums with the dark lighting
Yknow like the jellyfish section with the lights turned off and the LED lights turned on
Levi
Electric kettles for his tea and any kind of electric cleaning supply
Has a robot vacuum on all the time and always makes sure his washer and dryer are working proerly
Hange
Forensic science
Watches a scary amount of documentaries on forensics
Also their whole Netflix watch list is just true crime stuff
Erwin
Coffee machines and bionic arms
After losing his arm he’s very grateful for bionic arms, even if they’re unbelievably expensive
HAS to have straight black coffee every morning
Sasha
Any kind of food delivery app
Spends more money on that than she does on her actual rent
Connie
The internet
Just loves browsing whatever’s going on online
Although he does seem more like a 2000’s internet person than a 2020’s internet person
Jean
Sports cars
Or really just any fancy looking vehicle
Literally the only reason he has good money saving habits is because he wants to buy a fancy sports car one day
Bertholdt
E-books
Idk he just strikes me as the kinda guy who likes to read, so E-books are a very good thing for him
I WOULD do more but I’ve hit the limit for my images and I cannot be bothered to do a pt2 rn so 😛😛

Love language Headcanons
Eren | Armin | Levi | Erwin | Jean
5 hc’s about what I think their main love language would be! :)
fem!reader (but i can’t remember if I actually specified so …) enjoy!
Eren - physical touch
Eren is always touching you. Whether that be holding hands in public, sliding his hand a bit too far up your thigh whenever you’re out to dinner, or dragging his hands all over your body relentlessly when it was only the two of you. He craves the feeling of you and will always find some way to touch you whenever you’re around.
His arm snaked around your waist as he leaned in to whisper in your ear: “you look fucking amazing tonight.” Envious eyes at the party fell on the sight of you two, seeing you both so enamoured with each other.
You giggle as he pulls you close to him. “Eren, you already told me that.”
“And I’ll keep saying it again and again.” He gave you a loving squeeze, making sure to keep you close all night.
Armin - acts of service
Armin loves doing things for you to make your life easier. You’re hungry? He’s already in the kitchen preparing one of your favourite dishes. Need a ride anywhere? He’s always available to pick you up. He was always there for you, no matter where you were or what you needed, and he was more than happy to do anything for you.
“Good morning,” you mumbled, walking into the kitchen while rubbing your eyes. You were still half asleep wearing one of Armin’s t-shirts, hair all dishevelled from the night before.
“Good morning,” he replied, happy to see you awake. He was standing at stove cooking pancakes for the two of you. You wrapped your arms around his waist, resting your head on his back.
He smiled to himself at your touch, so grateful to have you in his life.
“Here,” he said, moving towards the counter. He handed you coffee in your favourite mug, just the way you like it. He placed a kiss on your forehead as the warmth of the coffee warmed your hands.
“Thank you so much,” you smiled at him.
“I love you,”
“I love you, too.” You reply as his arms wrap around you, holding you close to him.
Levi - quality time
Levi would get irritable if the two of you didn’t spend enough time together, which admittedly was quite a lot. Levi was surprisingly needy when it came to that. His love language being what it was meant that he was very good at planning things for the two of you to do together. It usually wasn’t anything too flashy or extravagant. He’d mostly take you out on dates to nice restaurants, or walks in the park. Every so often he’d spoil you with a trip for the two of you to take. But one of his go-to’s had always been cooking a nice dinner together. He’d find a recipe online, you two would go together to buy the ingredients, then cook together while sharing a bottle of wine.
Then the two of you would end up on the couch, or on the bed. The lights dimmed, a bit tipsy from the wine. Your head resting on his chest as you listened to his heartbeat. His hands would be in your hair, stroking it or entangled in it. Whichever it was at the time made you feel so good. The tv would be on but you both wouldn’t be paying attention. You’d just lie there in each others arms enjoying each others company.
Erwin - words of affirmation
Erwin is secure in himself, but he’d be lying if he didn’t appreciate you telling him how much you loved him from time to time. Simple things like:
“I appreciate you so much.” And “I couldn’t do it without you.” And then you’d see him grin widely as the words fell from your lips.
And while he liked hearing it from you, he also liked telling it to you as well.
Good morning texts, little notes from time to time, and showering you with compliments when you needed it most. Knowing that he loved you was something that you were reminded of quite often.
On particularly bad days, when you weren’t feeling your best, he’d hold you close to him and comfort you with the kindest of words. All of which were true.
You’d grip tightly onto his shirt as he held you and spoke gently to you.
“I want you to remember that I will always love you no matter what… I know things get hard sometimes but we both have each other and I will always be at your side for you whenever you need me.”
You’d look up at him, smiling through the few tears that managed to escape.
“You’re so precious to me.” He’d continue. “And I don’t know what I would ever do without you.”
Jean - gift giving
Jean loved surprising you with little presents. The look on your face whenever he’d gift you anything, big or small, was something he couldn’t get enough of. He paid a lot of attention to the things you’d speak about. Many of the things you’d mention in passing were noted and gifted at some point, most of the time you’d forget that you had mentioned it to him. But he’d always remember.
You were always so grateful whenever he gave you something and seeing you so happy and excited would warm his heart.
“I bought groceries, and I bought you some snacks that you like.” He’d say as he placed the grocery bags on the table.
Or, your personal favourite was: “I saw this and I thought of you.” Cute little stuffed toys, your favourite foods, clothes, and even jewelry (and he’d NEVER cheap out!)
For Jean, spoiling you was something innate, and he always made sure you had the best because that’s what you deserved.

I love embroidery.
It's all about the process. How much you put into it directly correlates to how well it turns out. The colors you choose, the stitches you undo, the pattern you create; it all matters. But if you're just messing around, you know what to expect when you're done!
It's so meticulous. Every stitch has an end and a beginning and YOU decide where those are. No one can tell you how to embroider. You just have to decide. Every intersection between the thread of the fabric and the embroidery thread is a decision. But it also doesn't matter, just choose and improvise with what you get.
The possibilities are endless. Want to stick with cross stitch? Sure! Want to try beads? Go ahead! Want to paint your fabric first? Why not? Want to thread paint? More power to you! There are hundreds of techniques across centuries, cultures, and countries. Maybe you have something to bring to the table that no one has seen before.
The community. First is the online community. Everyone is so eager to encourage and advise. I've never seen anyone withhold resources or advice, or anything like that. There's no pressure to buy fancy equipment as long as you have a needle, some thread, and an old pair of jeans you are welcome. Second is the historical community. I'll regularly look up from my work and think "People were doing this thousands of years ago. I am learning from them in the longest game of telephone." Even if I was thrown way back in time, I would have something to relate with them about. It's enough to make me cry.
On a more personal note, it has been such a joy and help to me. I have chronic pain, and sometimes can't leave the house. Embroidery gives me a place to express myself. To meditate. To breathe. I also have trichotillomania (obsessive hair pulling) that is worsened by stress. The only solution? Keep my hands busy while I calm down. Embroidery not only does that, it also imitates the hair pulling sensation, which relieves some of the pressure. There is no doubt in my mind that without embroidery, I would not be anywhere near the same person I am today.
Just. I have such a love for this art, and I can't wait to see where it takes me.

January 2, 2006
It was strange being outside of chicago on new years. If anyone remembers our apartment shows.
But the confetti was pretty and I think a girl from miss seventeen tried to kiss me on the mouth but kind of missed. Oh yeah and apparantly andrew john hurley is a dreamboat. Check the scoreboard. Tommorrow letterman and then I’m gonna buy some more heinous gear. Do you love it when I wear clashing colors as much as I do?
And why didn’t anyone tell me how amazing the movie the squid and the whale is? I told you about panic…
Over and way the fuck out.
xoxo
January 4, 2006
my top ten (er top seven) of 2005 - no records included.
bonnie dillard - she is always around to tell me how wack i am - she uses the the word "totes" and "just sayin" way too much - and actually types them! she named her dog roxie wentz and she has given me exactly two compliments in my entire life - one of which was on an outfit that she picked out for me. but she pretty much is the glue for clandestine and sometimes pete wentz. editor of filthy magazine.
nick scimeca - this kid makes the craziest faces i have ever seen in my entire life. the first time i met him we got in a snowball fight. pretty much we are in this gang together forever. he does infect, foe, and some clandestine stuff. pretty much whenever i am bummed i can call him up on the phone and hell tell me some hilarious story.
demar hamilton - i have pulled this kids underwear off every time he is around me and totally wasted. its awesome. he also has a dog living in his basement that looks like a 100 yearold teddy ruxpin. oh yeah, his band is rad.
leslie simon - me and her talk about our crushes all the time. we have a mutual love for the music of ashlee simpson and kelly clarkson. when i tell her insane stories i dont even have to say "off the record" she pretty much knows. she thinks of bright eyes and fob in the same way which blows my little mind. she is editting rainy day kids. oh yeah and writing a book about boys in tight jeans that wear eyeliner as far as i can tell but its pretty hush hush.
jonathon cecil miller/dirty - pretty much this kid is made of snakes, snails and puppy dog tails. i have nothing else to say but he is the new pauly shore - even if he always punches me for saying that. pretty much he looks like a cheeseburger with toothpicks for legs but i wouldnt trade him for the world. pretty much he is the best kid ever.
jim sevcik (or however you spell it) - this is the guy who goes and digs the little youth medium shirts out of tiny boxes in the 100 plus degrees on warped tour or freezing temp on NFT - and then takes the money out of your paws. he is definitely most underrated.
andrew simon/buck - when on the westcoast these guys function as my mother. they take us out to dinner, help me find a house or apartment, look up movie times, get screenings, help me find tours, starbucks, have the cutest baby on the planet, oh yeah and they even book shows every once in awhile.
oh well i ran out of steam. ill finish later. pretty much people that i hang out with every single day are not included on this - you know who you are.

1/04/06 Q&A
question
Pete, I really need some advice. I was a virgin until I slept with this guy. I didnt tell him I was a virgin until 2hrs. after we finished nad I told him online. Then I started freaking out because I was scared I had screwed everything up between us, which I think only made everything worse. this all happen yesterday. Did I screw everything up?
answer
the best part about when things like this happen is that eventually they become the past- if you really like this guy you could probably explain yourself to him- how you just got scared and were nervous to tell him certain things. if he is worth it, i am sure he will take the time to listen and tell you how he feels too. and if he doesn’t give you the time to do that, than he isn’t worth it anyway. you can be through with the past but that past isnt always through with you.
question
Pette what type of bass do you have?
answer
fender just made me my own- its pretty rad- red and black- super light maple neck- customized electronics and pick-ups- check out a picture of it over at: www.clandestine.buzznet.com - they say they are gonna make a real cheap version of it for people to learn on
question
the background on the site finally changed. who does that?
answer
it changes with mother nature.
question
Do you have any scars. Not like emotional scars (you can include them if you wish) but good-story-scars. Like stuff involving armadillos or something interesting like that.
answer
ive got this amazing one down the palm of my hand from when me and robby windgator (sp) climbed a fence in his back yard and my hand got stuck on a nail. it slid down the entire length of my hand- i was like 8. i have two on my right hand from when i fought a car the week before the VMAs. trust me i definitely beat the car up.

notes on black clouds and underdogs - see also: cast all your fears away:
1. tickets will not be 50 dollars. haters are spreading this on the internet. if you buy your ticket ahead of time (not through some wack broker or on ebay or from a scalper)- average ticket price will be between 23-28 dollars - not going over 35 anywhere. we picked the venues based on how cheap we could get them.
2. the bands- we didn't want to have a tour where you had to see five bands that sounded exactly like fob. we went for variety. all of the bands are really nice guys as well. there will be special guests through out the tour and some suprises to make each show more exciting.
3. this is going to be fob's biggest show ever. we will be playing our longest set and will be including some special secrets.
4. did you expect us to just dump the dates in your laps? we are nerdy and weird and different. so we created a game. we thought it would be fun. the points will be weighted so a small town will have the same chance as a huge city to win a small suprise show. we want to play in front of kids that are excited and we know this is a chance to do this. there will still be other secret shows randomly happening.
5. close your eyes and just click. youve got it. dont worry just come out. andy will be running a kissing booth - it will be a blast.
more later.

8:11 pm
i am just a hot mess. i woke up to the feeling of myself throwing up today. pretty much put a damper on the entire day. i ate about 50 stomach pills and then threw them all up- it was a pretty color in the toilet. my toungue is black on the top right now. i am pretty sure thats a bad thing. i watched way too much gastinaeu (however you spell it) girls today. i think it made me sicker. it took me awhile to realize that they were mother and daughter and not sisters- but the mom is kinda hot in pissy kind of way. my mom is out of town so there was noone here to take care of me- my brother was around but hes pretty much always bongzilla'd. so i waited for back-up caretakers to arrive- one of them was busy cutting hair and the other has like a "real" job besides being dad. the best part about vomitting alone in the morning is the way the bathroom tiles feel kinda cool in a pleasant way so i took a nap there for a bit. i want to see hostel tonight but the problem is all the vomitting- see its not that i mind so much its just what if i run into someone in my sicky gear and puke on them? wow. i am glad i did this update. arent you? im gonna leave the comments open cause i never do- just write down the first thing that comes into your mind when you see that reply button- heres mine: i am just a hot mess.

I have to say it makes me feel safe and some kind of comfort to look at the clock in the corner of the screen and know that you are awake too.

1/12/06 Q&A
question
whats your view/opinion on racism?
answer
i love it. i mean what opinion would i have other than it is terrible. i hope thats what you expected.
question
So Pete, I have been wanting to learn how to play bass for a long time. Any idea when that HOT Clandestine bass will be available for the public? Thanks.
answer
its going to be available as a fender squire some time in the (near i hope) future. squire is fenders cheapest bass line - very affordable and a good bass to learn how to play on.
question
college dropout or late registration?
answer
“highschool graduate” its the mixtape he put out awhile ago- its pretty sweet.
question
okay crazy dream last night.. you [pete] and me making out after a show in a bed? yeah just thought id share.
answer
im pretty gross after a show. itd be better to just highfive i think.
question
pete. please stop licking the shoes of the island CEOs. i am getting really tired of turning on a tv and seeing a commercial for you guys playing at the fucking arena or a WHOS NEXT IN MUSIC? PANIC AT THE DISCO and THE ACADEMY IS mtv shit which was was totally all your -for lack of better word- fault. sometimes i think it cant get any worse but im always wrong. when is this going to end pete?!?!?!?
answer
i am kind of confused by this one- we are on island defjam records but the advertisements for our tour were made by our booking agent not island. academy is on atlantic/fueled by ramen and P!atd are on decaydance neither of those are island related. but i think i understand the gist of what you are trying to say. i understand that its hard to feel like you are losing a band you loved to “the mainstream” or to a bigger media. i want you to know how much fob turns down because we dont believe in it or agree with it- at the same time would you rather see the academy is on trl or limp bizkit?- id rather see sincere music up there. anyway, i know we’ll all still be here after this ends. hope you are there with us.
question
Peter do you ever get mad at us?
answer
sure. just the same way you sometimes get mad at me/us- but thats okay. neither of us ever seem to stay mad very long…
question
choose one: paramore. cartel. the academy is. or acceptance.
answer
the academy is. i dont really know the others too well.
question
Petey, what have you been up to this past week? xo
answer
training for the new video and working on/editting release the bats two (http://www.findthescene.com/Videos/RTB2_Trailer.mov)… oh yeah and sleeping some.
question
So what do you think of Brokeback Mountain?
answer
good love story. kind of depressing- it makes me think about how much i do not want to go camping.
question
ryan seacrest called you “heartbreaker wentz.” how does that make you feel? it made me giggle…
answer
i never broke that mofos heart.
question
I was wondering if any of you guys are superstitious
answer
i kiss clocks, make wishes on take offs and first kisses, hold my breath on graveyards - yes.
question
Im really upset because i have friends who like me have been FOB fans for the longest time and have met you guys numerous times but are really angry about the ticket prices and are complaining your just sell outs. Im mad because i dont think this and now they are boycotting your CT show.You guys were bound to get famous so why do people have to get like this? Whats you opinion on all this?
answer
our primary concern with this tour is: having a huge general admission floor space and keeping ticket prices as low as absolutely possible. we are doing our best- if you compare this tour with other tours with bands of the same size you will see the difference in ticket price.
question
so much for teh huge general floor space. i cant get decent tickets.
answer
if you get tickets early you should have no problem getting floor tickets. ask your broker when they will be releasing floor tickets as they are often released in bunches. i promise you every venue we are playing has a huge floor space- and if not me and my friends always used to just sneak down onto the floor. the security never tries to hard to stop you.
question
Have you ever had sex with a groupie?
answer
nope.
question
So after they finish the tour that they are on now Mest is breaking up. I sort of cant believe it but I was wondering - do you guys plan on sticking with us for a while longer? It is actually pretty hard to deal with bands just stopping for good…so I am hoping that you guys can be there with us for at least a while longer. Much love.
answer
honestly? some days i think fall out boy will be around for 20 more years and some days i think it might end tommorrow.
January 13, 2006
first jt. now mr. frey. i fear that we are next.
it may just be the hour of the night or the song stuck in my head or some strange mix of it all.
i can't shake it.
the chemists called it crossed signals.

"noones ever been this good for this long"
this is everything i am thinking right now with out transition. i apologize for my brains lack of linear thought processing: i hate the way it gets dark so early here this time of year. i guess "seasonal depression" kind of falls under "ADD" and "post tramatic whatever disorder" for me. i feel like its science from the madhatter down the rabbit hole. not too real. but lately i just wake up blue - my only thought is- how soon will the day be over so i can get back into bed. i open my eyes just a tiny bit and blur the numbers on the clock with my eyelashes. every word you say rolls off of my back - the praises and the barbs. i don't hear either, ever. sometimes the tips of my fingers itch from the back of my head- just to get the chance to tear someone to pieces and just barely let them off the hook. i swear to god, i was asleep alone. quick text me an alibi and oh god please don't dust the keyboard for prints. sometimes i stare out of the frosted window and make up stories as people walk by. the bottled blonde, park ave. princess walking whichever dog matches her coat. you know how i could turn your world upsidedown. its not love if a day goes by when you don't think about dropping it. its not the world keeping you on the outside, its you not wanting to be on the inside. everyone wants to be the first. buts its okay to be the second if you understand it better, if you make it look prettier. worn down doesn't even touch this. and theres nothing worse than when someone acts like they have you figured out, when you haven't even figured yourself out. nice boys don't write good stories or sing good songs. and his songs are boring. and his stories are just personal ads set to background music. i found the skeleton key for wedlock but i am holding off on telling her. on telling anyone for that matter. consistent inconsistency. thats all you ever have to remember and you'll do okay with me. dancers are always strippers. and paying their way through college is the BE VE. oh and hey pete do you remember the way the world used to trick you with fifty degrees in january and orange leaves in june? button your jacket tight, don't believe everything you read... don't even believe everything you wrote. i'm tired of always leaving. i'm tired of the way things always/never change. swim upstream until your gills bleed just because thats what genetic encoding commands. there aren't any trophies that are really worth it in the end. they can put you in a box when you are very young, so you'll be a pretty corpse but there are too many pages filled with too many words to lie beside you forever. intelligent design is the last great joke i heard. but honestly, no one will ever stay where i tell them, least of all the years. they keep moving. worlds greatest liar and how do you know i'm not lying when i tell you this right now? and thats coming from the king of one-liners. copy and pasted - long live the away message. kiss the monitor. fast asleep baby.

Thanks for deleting me off your myspace friends. Youre different than who I thought you were Peter.. : (
answer
i do not have nor ever had a myspace account… the only sites outside of this one that i use are friendsorenemies.com and livejournal. fall out boy has a myspace account but i dont even know how to work it.
question
PETER! maybe that got your attention this time :)! My question, Did your parents or siblings ever say your “stupid” or “gay” for wearing girl pants, or tight shirts..because i go threw alot of crap for wearing tight clothing and i go to a city school so either its gangsters, or me left out..please help me with gettin threw this..Also cant wait to see you guys in Hersey!
answer
kanye west wears pink polos. rob halford wears black tshirts. not that any of it matters. but how you dress should only be an amplification of who you are inside, it should not be all you are… i get teased about alot of things but you know, at the end of the day its okay to be me. im pretty sure its okay to be you too, as long as you arent like hitler or a serial killer or something insane.

these pictures make me think of me and you before i got so crazy.
the hippo lost its momma in the tsunami. now the he hangs out with this super old turtle and follows it around. from what i've read they have developed their own form of communication.
this is insane.
these parts of life are amazing.
i will try and not forget them next time.

the band is in chicago preparing their new homes to be moved into. mine is still in my parents cause i am a loser like that: see also why i am hanging in nyc by myself. but ive got some schemes that i am working on.
how i have been (barely) living: the hippo and the turtle, hanging out with minkus from boy meets world in north carolina, going to the mtv studios in nyc to see baby bros all growed up on trl, eating every single thing in this hotel minibar, writing, you. writing you.

wahahahahaha. i laughed for like a million hours at the shittalking over at: www.friendsorenemies.com its way fun to see your friends make fun of you. it keeps you levelheaded. it has gone live.
January 19, 2006
yesyesyes-ya'll. newyorkcity. hung with patd and tai backstage at TRL and tried to make them unnervous. but i was butterflies inside. but they couldnt ever let me down. the rest of the day was spent listening to the new gymclassheroes songs and working on the new video. the gch songs are insane: i can't describe them "we gotta take our clothes off to have a good time". insane. new octfall: youve probably never met these kids but they are the nicest. always calling and asking how im doing. then the hush sound: all i can say is "sweet tangerine"- 6 months from now, you will agree with me. anyway, this isn't just some preachy post. i just love watching my friends suceed and i will believe in them until the day i die. its so great to watch everyone grow up. hopefully, somewhere someone says that about me.
we contributed a song to the breast cancer one tree hill episode/compilation. we just thought it was a great cause and couldn't pass it up. we actually thought it was a really personal cause to alot of people involved so i wanted to give a really personal song to me, so we used "dark alley".
its late and alot of the things i have been working on and thnking have stalled out. but i am trying oh so hard. got some smaller shows coming up in las vegas and l.a. for the diehards so keep your eyes out.
i am in new york city but it feels so fucking foreign. the band is in chicago but there is too much to be done out here. i know there needs to be breaks but i cant get away. maybe ill see you on fuse or trl tommorrow. maybe not cause it'll be weird with out the guys- i dunno. this hotel room doesn't make any sense. my lights are on and i am in bed knowing i will never fall asleep. i am realizing people in all the buildings outside i can see lit up can probably see in here on me. but thats okay cause i am wearing some sweet pj's.
wwwilliambecketdotlove
turn me inside out.
swoon. make me easy on the eyes. it aint hard in this light. read it. write it. throw it away and come back to the phone. light up text king.
oh yeah a little bird named mouth told me: friendsorenemies.com is up - my profile is actually me over there ... yay! let's hate eachother and/or get sexy.
January 20, 2006
dear ireland- thank you for your pretty accents and your amazing show.
dear home- i miss you
dear you- what the fuck happened to this
a real update later.
the whole world loves it when you dont get down.
January 21, 2006
12:17 pm
i hate you and i hope you die. yes. i realize that you will make fun of me/take stabs at me/post ridiculous pictures of me. i realize that because of this band i have given up some of my privacy and personal life. i accept that. i can laugh at myself. i realize i will get called a douchbag. i get what i get. i have begun reading things about my friends and family. that i will not accept. i read things written by people who kiss my ass to my face. i remember who you are. fuck you. bring it on me. please leave my friends and family alone. it is extremely hurtful to me. if anyone is a friend of mine out there please tell your friends. i on the otherhand am open game. i have a good laugh at all of the stuff written about me. i am silly, i realize that. thank you.

I am an arms dealer.
I sell words you could only use as weapons.
This isn't a scene it is an arms race.
I am a con artist.
A door to door salesman.
A snake oil seller. Cures for whatever ails you.
Somehow I don't hear the violins playing.
Not really the leading man type.
I am a cadaver deep frozen. Waiting for reanimation to beinvented.
Wrote "fuckoff" on my hand to remind me to call you tommorrow morning.
What do you do when everything they say about you is true?
Do you expect me to just roll over and die?
My skin has made promises.
Whether the rest of me has or not.
Writing off tommorrows every time my fingers touch these buttons.
Putting all the comforts and closeness in reverse just for you.
I think its time to re-asses some of the policies of the wentz administration.
Our approval rating is at an all time low.
In case you haven't been informed you have to take a ticket to be disappointed by me.
There's a fucking line.
Well have some goddamned order.
Its a posh and exclusive club.
I have a lifetime membership.
Make it glamorous.
Make the rumors true.
Read the sign next to the bridge "giveupallhope..." and just tie down the gas pedal.
Lie in the back.
Haven't you heard, sorrow is in.
You are the beaches of normandy the night before.
And a girl with such a sweet drink should never sit in the corner and cry about anyone or anything.
The kids on the net had it right sometimes we should fuck off and die and break up and stop ruining art.
But the kids had it right sometimes when they sit waiting in line with hands frozen out waiting to get into a room first.
The only thing I can admit is this is no masterplan. I'm trying to figure it out.
"Without the sour the sweet wouldn't taste so sweet (tangerine)".
Its 3am in leeds. This is what just crossed my mind.
Love, the fancy kid.

live via manchester holiday inn express:
first and foremost. these shows have been amazing. i think it is quite possibly because we don’t get over here often or maybe because we are playing smaller clubs… but i am thinking we need to make a stop over here more often.
i wanted to congratulate p!atd the disco on making it to number 10 on the TRL countdown. and i just wanted to put this out there: there is no way it was paid to happen. of all the bands on “new bands week” panic was the only that didn’t put up big pushes to have the video voted on. if anything this band wants to do things their own way. hence picking the song they did for the single- that was the bands choice and in my opinion they have songs on the record that could easily be bigger. it was also the bands choice to create a darker video…. as a label i can tell you that we definitely don’t have the money to spend on a “big budget” video right now- not to mention having any left over for anything else- you’d laugh if you saw the budgets we filmed the new panic and gch videos on. but i couldn’t say enough about how nice these kids are- they don’t even get how big their band is and thats a good thing… i personally would rather see great bands on the forefront of music… and yes there are lots of other bands that deserve to make it there as well- so maybe on our messageboard tell me about some great (unsigned) bands that we should check out.
other than that we’ve just been writing new songs and working on the new video. pretty soon its going to become time focus all attention on a new fall out boy record again.
got some big news for you coming up very soon…

question

answer

question

answer
me being engaged is most definitely not the big news.
question
in the song calm before the on take this to your grave, there is a line that says :Well theres a song on the radio that says lets get this party started, lets get this party started. did you write that line because of the song by pink called lets get this party started. just curious.
answer
yes.
question
Hey Pete. My grandma is dying (and she doesnt care) and I for real dont feel anything towards her. My mom is seriously upset, my dad is just about the same and my sisters dont know. I am suppose to tell them but how do I do that when my grandma wasnt a grandma for me but for them she was a great lady? I just want this done and over because I am kind of tired of waiting for her to die since she has been making suicide references for the past two years.
answer
that is one of the hardest places to ever be in. i remember seeing thoughts of my grandfather in my head when he died i was on tour. and i couldnt really feel sad unless i thought of it as my dad and it really freaked me out. it made me feel like i wanted to see my dad right that second. id be completely lost with out him. i think that people handle grief in different ways and the best thing we can do is try to be there for them. im sorry to hear about that though.
1/30/06

answer

answer
yes. the sinking feeling in your rotten gut is your reminder. cool sheets on your bed are your antidote.

I feel so silly I've been posting art online for years and I don't think I ever made one of these 😂 in all honesty though? I think a lot of it has to do with thinking people I already talk to know so it'd be irritating them to repeat it, but they really don't know so when they're surprised so am I. But yeah, if there's something you want to know, you're always welcome to ask!
Some random stuff about me:
⭐ Because I work from home my outfits are tank tops and lounge pants (I got those from Amazon and they are *chef's kiss*. That "kimono" from Hot Topic really does drop that low - I'm 5'2" and it looks ridiculous but I love it.
⭐ Copper compression gloves are wonderful.
⭐ I've got a pizza sauce recipe that's like our cheeseball recipe; the longer it sits the hotter it gets. I have no self-control with hot peppers and sauces and one day my stomach will have a hole burned through it because of this 🤣
⭐ I can and will blow through art pencils and micron pens, but I'll also hang onto the tiniest nubs and nearly-dry pens because I am terrible about buying more. I'd buy larger sets of what I use the most, but uh...*sticker shock*
⭐ I prefer physical books, but if it's an author I'm unsure of, I'll try the ebook first. I play Plants vs Zombies 2 more on the kindle than I do read.
⭐ Either I have some green witch magic or I've got mislabled seeds, but since I've started gardening I've managed to grow 4 foot tall dwarf variety marigolds.
⭐ Hated Halloween Kills. Very disappointed in it. I think the setup for 13 Ghosts would make a really freaking cool haunted attraction.
⭐ I love playing Mario Kart Tour, but it's not the same as when I could do online multiplayer in Mario Kart Wii. Up for sharing my friend code if you want to kick my ass lol
⭐ When I say I enjoy anime, I used to enjoy a large range, but since I've gotten older I've learned I just don't care for a lot of newer stories. But I have binged Azumanga Daioh, Bastard!!, Full Metal Panic, and Crayon Shin-chan multiple times.
⭐ I'm fairly sure winter, art block, and imposter syndrome meet up in skinny jeans, UGG boots, and pumpkin spice lattes for brunch every year.
⭐ One more that I forgot when I posted this a couple weeks back on patreon, I have a small Bath and Body Works addiction. Really love the Fairytale and Into the Night scents especially.

Hiiiiii my friends. I am not back my typical content just yet but I am back with lots of real outfits I’ve worn in the last week-ish! And so excited to have a new selfie spot in the new house. Our house is slowly (very slowly…too slowly for my liking if I’m being honest…) coming together but it already feels like home. We’ve only been in for 3 weeks but it’s functioning really well for us. It’s taken me three houses and about 10 years to understand that function is a HUGE part of buying a house, not just things that I aesthetically like. To be fair, both are important to me, but I think we’ve finally got the right mix of function and form. My friends, how are we doing this week? I feel like January is flying by but not in a productive or fun way either. It’s been a good but I feel like after the school breaks, the snow days, the move, we just went straight back into our full time schedule with school, sports, work, etc. And I’ve got to be honest, I was not ready. I think this every January: why don’t you take down time after the holidays? The holidays are not the down time. I think I mistake a kids school break as my own break and boy is that not correct. So if my content is light through this week, just know I’m still trying to get our house back together, get my work all sorted (and figuring out my substack content!! I’m excited!) but on here it may be a bit light. *cues winning smile* Okay onto the outfits! Wore this outfit today actually! I met a friend for coffee right after drop off and to therapy. In other words, this outfit is *trauma dump* approved! Two things — this sweater is under $50 and is one of my favorites from Quince. I have the navy (hard to see the color here) but would recommend in any neutral. It does shrink up a touch, even with laying flat to dry so I have the large and after a wash it fits perfectly. Find it here. And my jeans are on sale — as in $45 right now! This pair is from Abercrombie, fit is TTS but is most fitted at the waist. I’m in the 30 but a 29 would be a closer fit right now. I like that they’re a straight leg, but not quite skinny jean. I will always love this silhouette and did you notice my topknot? 2012 will always live in me. Quince Cotton Sweater | Madewell Coat (similar) | AF High Rise Straight Ankle Jeans | Tory Burch Boots Okay so this pair of pants probably deserves a whole post but I rented this pair of pants back in 2023 from nuuly when I had an account and I’ve thought about them ever since I sent them back. I wished I would have kept them and I’ve looked around for them on postmark / ebay but never found them. I ended up re-instating my nuuly account this year and realized they sell resale items! I immediately checked for these pants and BOOM. Found. For $25 they’re mine now. Amazing right? (You can find them here.) Free People Sweater (old) / Similar Sweater here | Maeve Collette Pants (nuuly) | Gola Sneakers | Clare V. Crossbody similar sweaters Turn on your JavaScript to view content This is a typical gym outfit as of late, thought I’d throw it in here! It’s been cold here and the gym can be cool so I just kept the sweatshirt on, even though I do have a crop top sports bra situation under here as well. Also as you can see my ankles are alive and well. Every once in a while I’ll do tall socks, but I love the leggings – bare ankle – sneakers look. Never not representing us millennials out in the wild. Nike Cropped Pullover | Lululemon Align 25″ Leggings | Hoka Sneakers I wore this to a brunch with some friends the other weekend! It was a causal vibe, so I went with my favorite reformation pullover (old from 2021 and I can’t find it anywhere online!) I’ve linked a few similar though below this post! So I am going through my closet to see which jeans still fit / want to keep and I’m kind of sad that some of my favorites aren’t fitting the same. This pair is Madewell Wide Leg jean and it really is a classic. I’m in the 30, fit IS true to size, per usual with Madewell. I like that this pair has a healthy amount of stretch as well. Always recommend. But sadly (for me) this pair may end up in the pre-loved shop soon. Reformation Pullover (2021) | Similar Look Fleece Pullover | Madewell Wide Leg Jeans | Gola Sneakers | Aritizia Tee similar fleece Turn on your JavaScript to view content I’ll say it — I still struggle with finding the right shoes with wide leg jeans. I’ve finally embraced the trend but the shoes…that’s a touchy subject. And, at least for me, there is not one across the board option for wide leg pants; they’re all so different and therefore the shoe options are different too. All that to say, yes my feet were cold in this outfit and yes I’d probably go back now and switch shoes. I’m finding that I like sneakers the best, but I swear 2025 I’m going to figure this out. Right before the trend changes back to skinny jeans. This J.Crew sweater is a CLASSIC and I don’t feature it enough! It comes in handy when I need a nice looking sweater just to toss on. Cashmere: For when you want to look pulled together, but you don’t feel put together. I am in the medium, fit is TTS. Find it here! (Also my jeans run TTS, slightly snug at the waist. I am in the 30 and really like this size / fit.) J.Crew Cashmere Sweater | Paige Wide Leg Jeans | Dolce Vita Flats Date night for B and I! This Reformation skirt is sold out sadly but I’ll link a dress you could easily toss a sweater over on and get the same look. I wear a large in Reformation for length! Reformation Skirt (sold out) | Ref Dress Option | Mock Neck Sweater | Tights | Marc Fisher Booties I loved this outfit! I felt cool all day long; I love when my outfit coolness doesn’t expire. This sweater is nice to layer over because it’s not too thick and it’s fitted but not too clingy. I’m in the medium for fit reference! Nation Ltd Striped Sweater | Paige Wide Leg Jeans | Clare V. Crossbody | Gola Sneakers I tossed this outfit on while running out the door to meet with some friends and had I managed my time better I would have slapped on a belt as well! That would have really set this outfit off. Note to self: accessorize more this year. This pair of jeans I’m trying from nuuly. I really like Agolde, but I’m trying to decide if I love this fit. Again — really embracing this wide leg theme and I like the fit of this pair. The quality of the jeans is unmatched, Agolde washes and wears forever. I will say this pair runs big! Size down one if in between sizes. J.Crew Blouse (2023) | Similar Polka Dot Blouse | Agolde Baggy Low Jeans | Marc Fisher Boots ___________ And that’s the week! Thanks for following along friends 🙂 Source link

I think this every January: why don’t you take down time after the holidays? The holidays are not the down time. I think I mistake a kids school break as my own break and boy is that not correct. So if my content is light through this week, just know I’m still trying to get our house back together, get my work all sorted (and figuring out my substack content!! I’m excited!) but on here it may be a bit light. *cues winning smile* Okay onto the outfits! Wore this outfit today actually! I met a friend for coffee right after drop off and to therapy. In other words, this outfit is *trauma dump* approved! Two things — this sweater is under $50 and is one of my favorites from Quince. I have the navy (hard to see the color here) but would recommend in any neutral. It does shrink up a touch, even with laying flat to dry so I have the large and after a wash it fits perfectly. Find it here. And my jeans are on sale — as in $45 right now! This pair is from Abercrombie, fit is TTS but is most fitted at the waist. I’m in the 30 but a 29 would be a closer fit right now. I like that they’re a straight leg, but not quite skinny jean. I will always love this silhouette and did you notice my topknot? 2012 will always live in me. Quince Cotton Sweater | Madewell Coat (similar) | AF High Rise Straight Ankle Jeans | Tory Burch Boots Okay so this pair of pants probably deserves a whole post but I rented this pair of pants back in 2023 from nuuly when I had an account and I’ve thought about them ever since I sent them back. I wished I would have kept them and I’ve looked around for them on postmark / ebay but never found them. I ended up re-instating my nuuly account this year and realized they sell resale items! I immediately checked for these pants and BOOM. Found. For $25 they’re mine now. Amazing right? (You can find them here.) Free People Sweater (old) / Similar Sweater here | Maeve Collette Pants (nuuly) | Gola Sneakers | Clare V. Crossbody similar sweaters Turn on your JavaScript to view content This is a typical gym outfit as of late, thought I’d throw it in here! It’s been cold here and the gym can be cool so I just kept the sweatshirt on, even though I do have a crop top sports bra situation under here as well. Also as you can see my ankles are alive and well. Every once in a while I’ll do tall socks, but I love the leggings – bare ankle – sneakers look. Never not representing us millennials out in the wild. Nike Cropped Pullover | Lululemon Align 25″ Leggings | Hoka Sneakers I wore this to a brunch with some friends the other weekend! It was a causal vibe, so I went with my favorite reformation pullover (old from 2021 and I can’t find it anywhere online!) I’ve linked a few similar though below this post! So I am going through my closet to see which jeans still fit / want to keep and I’m kind of sad that some of my favorites aren’t fitting the same. This pair is Madewell Wide Leg jean and it really is a classic. I’m in the 30, fit IS true to size, per usual with Madewell. I like that this pair has a healthy amount of stretch as well. Always recommend. But sadly (for me) this pair may end up in the pre-loved shop soon.

I’ve finally embraced the trend but the shoes…that’s a touchy subject. And, at least for me, there is not one across the board option for wide leg pants; they’re all so different and therefore the shoe options are different too. All that to say, yes my feet were cold in this outfit and yes I’d probably go back now and switch shoes. I’m finding that I like sneakers the best, but I swear 2025 I’m going to figure this out. Right before the trend changes back to skinny jeans. This J.Crew sweater is a CLASSIC and I don’t feature it enough! It comes in handy when I need a nice looking sweater just to toss on. Cashmere: For when you want to look pulled together, but you don’t feel put together. I am in the medium, fit is TTS. Find it here! (Also my jeans run TTS, slightly snug at the waist. I am in the 30 and really like this size / fit.) J.Crew Cashmere Sweater | Paige Wide Leg Jeans | Dolce Vita Flats Date night for B and I! This Reformation skirt is sold out sadly but I’ll link a dress you could easily toss a sweater over on and get the same look. I wear a large in Reformation for length! Reformation Skirt (sold out) | Ref Dress Option | Mock Neck Sweater | Tights | Marc Fisher Booties I loved this outfit! I felt cool all day long; I love when my outfit coolness doesn’t expire. This sweater is nice to layer over because it’s not too thick and it’s fitted but not too clingy. I’m in the medium for fit reference! Nation Ltd Striped Sweater | Paige Wide Leg Jeans | Clare V. Crossbody | Gola Sneakers I tossed this outfit on while running out the door to meet with some friends and had I managed my time better I would have slapped on a belt as well! That would have really set this outfit off. Note to self: accessorize more this year. This pair of jeans I’m trying from nuuly. I really like Agolde, but I’m trying to decide if I love this fit. Again — really embracing this wide leg theme and I like the fit of this pair. The quality of the jeans is unmatched, Agolde washes and wears forever. I will say this pair runs big! Size down one if in between sizes. J.Crew Blouse (2023) | Similar Polka Dot Blouse | Agolde Baggy Low Jeans | Marc Fisher Boots ___________ And that’s the week!

Hiiiiii my friends. I am not back my typical content just yet but I am back with lots of real outfits I’ve worn in the last week-ish! And so excited to have a new selfie spot in the new house. Our house is slowly (very slowly…too slowly for my liking if I’m being honest…) coming together but it already feels like home. We’ve only been in for 3 weeks but it’s functioning really well for us. It’s taken me three houses and about 10 years to understand that function is a HUGE part of buying a house, not just things that I aesthetically like. To be fair, both are important to me, but I think we’ve finally got the right mix of function and form. My friends, how are we doing this week?

so youve discovered youre goth. you love the music and you align with the politics/beliefs. you want to get into the fashion side (not necessary but thats your personal choice) and youre not sure where to start. you see people on social media with demonias and the most beautiful vampire gowns but you cant afford them. obviously shein and dollskill sell "goth" outfits but you know theyre fast fashion and thats the opposite of what goth is. sure you can go to a thrift store but youre not gonna find the most perfect victorian gothic outfits (unless you go to one in whitby). im gonna give you some tips on how i dress "goth" from mainly charity shops. first i target the black clothes. as a goth you dont have to exclusively wear black of course but theres some good pieces there to build up your outfits. i always buy anything black lace (you could buy white laceand dye it black but ive never done that so i cant advise). i also go for long skirts. also black shirts and t shirts and black blazers/jackets. once you have a nice base of black clothes, branch out and pair your black skirt with a purple shirt for example. understand youre not going to find yourself an entire wardrobe in one go, ive been building mine for 8 years where i buy a new piece every few months. i know some people say to look at lingerie and sleepwear, unfortunately the charity shops where i live dont have those sections, but if yours does then definitely check them out. also look at old 80s goth photos. goth has always been about diy, and youll see how people used to build their outfits back then. look at what siouxie used to wear as an example. learn how to sew too, then if you find the perfect shirt but unfortunately its just too long, you can just chop the bottom off and sew it up. if you can afford it, invest in a sewing machine, especially if you plan a lot of diy, but its okay if you cant, you should be able to hand sew most stuff. also make sure clothes last, oh your jeans have a hole in them? sew a patch over it! and lastly : accessorize! bracelets, wristbands, necklaces, belts. diy chains into belts, i turned some old necklaces into a belt chain using the keyring attached to my old college id badge. charity shops are full of jewelry but theres a lot of small businesses you can also buy from. unfortunately i have a lot of skin allergies so i can only wear silver jewelry which is expensive but luckily for me i have a decent job and can afford it, but theres definitely a huge range of affordable options. you dont need dyed black hair and to wear trad goth makeup and dress like dracula (of course if you want to thats so okay) because goth has always been about being unique and different to the status quo. go with what feels right for you and try not to let these so called "goth influencers" online convince you that being goth is expensive because i promise you, it is not! omg this was so long but i really hope it helps someone

My 5 Fall Style Essentials
Originally written Oct 20, 2019
Autumn is my favorite season of the year! Growing up in D.C., my favorite activity was raking all the leaves on our lawn and getting to jump into them at the end. It was one of our unspoken traditions, something that I learned to look forward to every year. Now, living on my own, my love for all things Fall has grown exponentially. I have found myself being compelled to bring my camera with me everywhere to try and capture the aesthetics of Fall. A dim lit alley, leaves changing color on the trees on my street, or the multi-colored corn displays that pop up at every restaurant come October. The warm and cozy feelings that remind you of shorter and darker days, apple cider, fluffy sweaters, vivid and crunchy leaves, and watching nostalgic movies on the couch. Not to mention spooky season is in full effect, I drink everything out of a mug, and it's never a bad time to take a cute picture with pumpkins. My recent move from hot ass Texas to cold ass Pennsylvania has allowed me to finally participate fully in Fall fashion this year.
My style is vintage, thrifted, and upcycled. I hate paying a lot of money for clothes. I also have this recurring nightmare that I went to an event and someone else had on my outfit. If it's something that has high chance of being owned by many people, I do NOT want it. I usually buy clothes from a thrift shop, add some patches, distress, paint, deconstruct, and overall fuck up my purchases. Since I am usually in a thrift shop for everyday clothes, I tend to make my more expensive purchases staple items in my wardrobe. These staples are things I have for years, basically until the brakes fall off.
Here are 5 of my Fall style essentials to help anyone fight the cold and look dope too:
1) A Protective Style
Shoutout to all the Black people who get excited at the beauty supply when they find the perfect color braiding hair. This is a must-have come damn near every season but especially the cold and frigid Fall. Cold weather drys out my hair, leaves it brittle, and looking dusty. The style pictured to the right is my choice for the 2019 Fall season. I usually wear it in an updo so it's out the way, and when it's damp outside I put a headwrap on. Protective styling allows me to focus on having free hands, and cutting down on my morning routine. I also get to play around with my undercut. I can get some lines, some words, or a design on either side and/or the back of my head to add more individuality to this pretty uniform protective style.
2) A Pair of Boots
transportation to school and have had many a boot ruined by a step in a puddle, a drink spill, or any other terribly unexpected thing. I specifically like these boots because they are durable, comfortable, and cute! Having a white pair of boots might give most people anxiety, it makes me feel more dressed up. Whether stomping through a puddle, or running inside to escape the cold, I know my feet will look good. I don't buy shoes online unless they are thrifted and I ended up finding these Doc Martens for only $85 on Ebay! Make sure to stop by local garage sales, second-hand stores, or your stylish friend for some threads and shoe advice!
3) Denim, Denim, Denim
I am the stereotypical T-shirt and jeans sort of person. Not only are jeans comfortable, but also versatile. Denim comes in a variety of styles, washes, and can be de/re-constructed over and over again. I always have to hold back on distressing every new piece of denim I acquire or adding 100 patches to my newest denim jacket. I love to style denim in the Fall with muted colors like forest green, khaki, and patterns and prints like cheetah and camouflage. On top of denim going with just about everything Fall related, it is also a pretty thick fabric for chilly days. I use denim shirts or jackets to play with layering sweaters and t-shirts. And it always makes for a put together outfit when I am in a pinch. Simple, stylish, and comfortable.
4) Hats
A hat is a bedhead's best friend. Whether seasonal depression has you feeling tired, the cold got you uninspired, or if you just don't feel like even thinking about your hair; put a hat on. Hats have been one of my favorite accessories since middle school. Fedoras, dad hats, snap backs, wide brim, beanies, cowboy hats, all of em'. I have been in a very dad hat phase as of late and I've been pairing them with matching AF1s. I love matching pieces of my outfits with each other it makes me feel like I put that a little more effort and thought into the construction of my outfits. It also helps to keep me looking cute when I am in between haircuts. My hair grows back very fast and instead of trying to keep cutting it, I develop new ways to cover, protect, and easily style my hair. Stop spending money for more styles when you haven't even worn everything in your closet!
5) My Fanny Pack
Fanny packs have come back into popularity so they are so super easy to find at the thrift store, and come in tons of varieties. I bought my sparkly one specifically for Bonnaroo so it wasn't thrifted, but I love it. I never have to worry about having too much in my hands or losing anything because it is literally attached to my body. Convenient and stylish! How can you add your personality into the accessories you own? Are you student who commutes to campus everyday? Get a kick ass lunch box and HUGE tote bag. Work in a cubicle and have limited access to people throughout the day? Wear bright colored glass, or jewelry with colors you enjoy! Make your life more enjoyable and more stylish with your Fall staples. You are going to be wearing this fanny everyday, make it cute.
Style is like language, it is ever expanding and molding. No matter how drastic my style changes, some things never change. But remember: the best part about style is the power to create and express! Your look creates an avenue to add some creativity and color to your life! It's also so fun to dress up, to feel good about how you look, and to wear things that make you happy! Don't take yourself too serious and try to do new things with your wardrobe! But never forget the staples. Start with basics and then build and mold your style from there. You always want to make sure your pieces that could be used for many purposes and not just one. Also, recycle your clothes by either donating or up-cycling them! Do what you want: you will look great regardless.

Modern Fit Suits: Your Ultimate Guide to Sharp Style for Every Occasion.
Gentlemen, are you tired of feeling like you're wearing your grandfather's hand-me-downs every time you put on a suit?
Do you long for a suit that not only looks sharp but also feels comfortable and moves with you?
Then it's time to embrace the modern fit revolution!
The modern fit suit is the perfect blend of classic tailoring and contemporary style.
It's designed for the modern man who wants to look his best without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
Whether you're heading to a wedding, a job interview, a formal dinner, or a casual night out, the modern fit suit has you covered.
What Sets the Modern Fit Apart?
The modern fit suit is all about a streamlined silhouette that flatters your physique without feeling restrictive.
Here's what makes it different:
Higher Armholes: This creates a cleaner look and allows for greater freedom of movement.
Narrower Lapels: This adds a touch of contemporary flair and slims the chest.
Subtly Tapered Trousers: This creates a streamlined look and helps to elongate the legs.
Shorter Jacket Length: This helps to create balanced proportions, especially for shorter men.
Modern Fit Suits for Every Occasion
Weddings:
Whether you're the groom, a groomsman, or a guest, a modern fit suit will ensure you look sharp and feel confident on the big day.
For grooms, a classic navy or grey suit is always a safe bet.
Accessorize with a crisp white shirt, a coordinating tie, and a pocket square for a touch of personality.
Wedding guests can have more fun with colors and patterns, choosing a suit that complements the wedding party's attire.
Work:
A modern fit suit is a must-have for the modern professional.
It's the perfect choice for interviews, client presentations, and team meetings.
For a more relaxed business casual look, try pairing your suit jacket with chinos or dress pants.
Formal Events:
When the invitation calls for black tie or formal attire, a modern fit tuxedo is your go-to choice.
Opt for classic black or midnight blue, and consider details like satin lapels or a shawl collar to elevate your look.
Casual Outings:
Who says suits are only for formal occasions?
The modern fit suit can be effortlessly dressed down for a more casual, yet still stylish, look.
Pair your suit jacket with a t-shirt, dark-wash jeans, and sneakers for a relaxed yet refined weekend look.
Choosing the Perfect Modern Fit Suit
Ready to embrace the modern fit revolution?
Here are a few tips for finding the perfect suit:
Know your measurements: Get acquainted with your chest, waist, inseam, and shoulder measurements.
Try before you buy: Pay close attention to how the jacket fits in the shoulders, chest, and waist.
Don't fear the tailor: A skilled tailor can make minor adjustments to ensure a flawless fit.
Caring for Your Modern Fit Suit
A modern fit suit is an investment in your style and confidence.
Here are a few tips to keep it looking its best:
Proper storage: Hang your suit on a sturdy wooden hanger with wide shoulders.
Regular brushing: Use a soft-bristled clothes brush to remove dust and lint.
Spot clean when necessary: Avoid rubbing the fabric, as this can damage the fibers.
Dry clean sparingly: Choose a reputable dry cleaner who specializes in delicate garments.
Steaming is your friend: Use a steamer to remove wrinkles and refresh your suit.
FAQs
What's the difference between a slim fit and a modern fit suit?
While both offer a more tailored silhouette than a classic fit, there are key differences.
Slim fit suits are designed to hug the body closely, accentuating a lean physique.
Modern fit suits offer a more balanced approach—tailored but not overly tight, providing a sleek silhouette with room for comfort and movement.
Where can I find affordable modern fit suits?
Many retailers offer stylish and budget-friendly modern fit suits.
Online options include ASOS, BoohooMAN, and SuitSupply.
Department stores like Macy's and Nordstrom Rack often have sales and discounted designer brands.
Specialty stores like Express and H&M offer trendy options at lower price points.
Can I wear a modern fit suit if I have an athletic build?
Absolutely!
The modern fit is often a great choice for athletic builds.
It offers a tailored silhouette that complements your physique without feeling restrictive.
Look for jackets with enough room in the chest and shoulders, and trousers with ample space in the thighs.
What are some essential accessories for a modern fit suit?
Elevate your modern fit suit with the right accessories.
A tie adds a touch of formality or personality depending on the color and pattern.
Pocket squares inject flair and can be folded in various styles.
Belts should match your shoes and the occasion's formality.
Shoes should complement your suit, ranging from polished dress shoes to loafers or sneakers.
How do I know if my modern fit suit jacket fits correctly?
A well-fitting modern fit jacket should feel comfortable and flattering.
The shoulder seams should align with your shoulders, the chest should be snug but not constrictive, and the waist should be slightly suppressed.
The jacket length should hit around your knuckles, and the sleeves should show about half an inch of shirt cuff.
If needed, a tailor can make adjustments for a perfect fit.
The modern fit suit is a versatile and stylish choice for any man who wants to look and feel his best.
It's an investment in your image and your confidence.
So, ditch the outdated suits and embrace the modern fit for a sharp, sophisticated look that will take you from the boardroom to the ballroom and beyond!

This is the event.. the 27th may be the date but if you have any intention of showing up don't plan it yet... I'm just making sure you know exactly what event I'm talking about and exactly where it is. I will update you on the date... and I will give you two weeks notice just if by chance you can show up.
You're a Mom and you got a busy life. So I want to make sure just incase you can do it.. I may even give you 3 weeks in advanced. I got to sort out my financial situation. Driving to West Haven to see Katie and going to New Hampshire recently really drained me between my stupid glasses purchases and my boxers... I got to make sure if I purchase on Kohls it won't fuck me over the Under Armour boxers I got appearantly on sale... they were 30$ for a 3 pack.. now they are 42$ for the same exact pairs... and the Nike socks were 17$ now they are 28$ but all these clothes are so comfy and if I can get 24 pairs of boxers in total and 12 pairs of socks I can finally remove all my uncomfortable medium boxers and get rid of socks with small holes in them...
Anyways I probably won't buy from Kohls but the 35$ kohls cash makes the boxers less money... idk...
I also got to figure out a shirt for the tango... I could just go as Nathan... a guy in a ratty hoodie/ t-shirt and jeans with high tops.
I'm thinking about buying a 2 pack of George Polos from Walmart online so I can look a little less ratty but my medium boxers are stretched out and the ones I tossed out had holes and some of my socks have holes in them.. so that's why I made the original purchase at kohls and why I want to do it one more time.
That won't put me out that much but i got to consider glasses at lens crafters... and put this eyebuy thing away... although it may be like last year where I accept none of my glasses fit right and I got to be uncomfortable... and wait until March 2025.... also I may just stop wearing them but not if you're here and you love me.... I'll wear them every day all day, you'll only see me without them when I take a shower and when I sleep.
Idk. But here is the event info.
