#but the tiktok fashion economy has normalized these set-in-stone boxes to fit into

[real-real-numbers]

clothing aesthetics these days feel like those flash dress-up games where there are like 5 perfectly matched outfits with hairstyle, top, bottom, and shoes, and any other combination is very obviously not the correct combination

like ok this y2k aesthetic top is super cute but if I wear it without butterfly clips, low rise jeans, and uggs it's just a weird shirt. this cottagecore skirt is nice but I gotta purchase an authentic 19th century corset from the thrift store to style it right
