#$180 spent at two stores and all of it is getting returned#i hate how certain fabrics look plush and thick online and you get them irl and it's just like??? apparently you need to pay your editor..#...and photographer more bc#except zara where they cut off the bottom of the pants in pics so you cant see where they fall on the model#fire whoever made that decision#also i spent $40 on a crop top from a well known brand for it to arrive with a hole. like bitch what#also the material is so thin???? so what am i paying for???#im not the type of person to pay for brand recognition im just at a point where i cant afford to buy shit that falls apart after a szn#there's a famous description of the poverty cycle given by terry pratchet#about how bad boots that last a few months cost like half of one paycheck while good boots that last years mean two months without eating#but the poor cant just. go two months without eating so they buy the bad boots that eat away their money and make it impossible to save#the addendum to that are the middle boots that cost a full paycheck#you think they're good because they cost a little more so you spend more than you can really afford thinking that your making the best...#...investment possible with your current finances#but late stage capitalism says fuck you! and as it turns out only the price has increased not the quality#or if the quality has increased the boots will last like. one month more. not enough to justify the price increase#yes im aware this im getting a little to bent out of shape over a crop top (and the other stuff i bought)#but it's the principle.#bc of covid i dont have any of my usual 3 streams of income and all of my winter stuff is back on the east coast and it would cost way more.#to ship them#ugh#ughhhh#vbee#btw if anyone has read this far and is feeling bad for me dw about it im just irritated and not used to having bad luck like this lolol#also i just paid my way out of students loans for the first time and um. it's hitting me lol#new followers! blacklist vbee if personal posts annoy you
