Okay ... but like ... why do the baggy jeans look really good on you?
.... oooh Shein sells the most amazing baggy sweats that you would love (if sweatpants are a thing for you)
thank you! i love baggy jeans honestly. they need to be either skin tight, non existent, baggy as all hell or flared as all hell no exceptions we only go to the extremes with our pants in these parts
honestly shein has a lot of great clothes and they can last long if you take care of them. i have a few tops that were given to me from there and romwe and honestly they're great. boohoo is where i love to get my baggy sweatpants. the main ones i wear are from there and i could literally fit 3 of me in them and they're still a size small like they hyooooooj but also mighty comfy. plus all the halloween stuff is on shein now yea? my cousin is mad obsessed with shein and romwe so im sure she'll be sending a tonne of shit from there too 😂
#nothing to do with you sheepy but#we're not having a convo about the negatives of fast fashion#i do not care#yes it is a problem#it is also convenient for low income people#and they deserve to have nice things and be stylist too#not everything can be thrifted#get off your high horse#you probably shop on amazon anyway which literally sells and does the same shit#and that is not a whataboutism#that's double standards at play and people jumping on hate trains because its trendy#but wont check themselves because of convenience#okay now that my opinions on fast fashion drop sites is out#if i get any anons on the manner you're being blocked#thank you for coming to my ted talk

Who has the other pair of his shoes. I don’t believe you can buy a red and black pair
good question! i hadn't thought about it until you asked so here's the answer i came up with:
he got them at a discount at the thrift store
the cashier just saw his excitement and couldn't bear to charge him the full price
they aren't even the same style of slides, this silly guy just marches to the beat of his own drum
#ask the crab#Clip New Do Same You AU#New Do Same You AU#sorry for the delay!#Clip also has a pair of crocs that he customizes with charms#those are his “fancy shoes”#he also got them at the thrift store#they are also mismatched#Sun has tried to get Clip to wear proper shoes at work#but Clip doesn't like clothing that is too constrictive#Clip doesn't like being constrained#thankfully their customers don't seem to mind Clip's eccentric... everything#this is also why Clip learned to knit and sew so he can make his own clothes that are comfy on him#and also clothes for Sun and Moon#cuz ah Moon is a big boi#before Clip making all his clothes there were only a few things that actually fit him#for the people who take the time to read my really long rambly tags#feel free to ask about Moon's onesie 👀#crab art#traditional art

HELP TWO DISABLED TRANS FREAKS START A LIFE TOGETHER
after MONTHS (literally a year in my case) of searching and fighting my girlfriend and I finally signed our lease together today!!!! we are both disabled + trans + literally have no income aside from state disability which is $200/month max, so we really need help covering some basic-ass stuff lol
pypl [email protected] vnmo alumirust cshapp doppelgougar
we're gonna thrift all our furniture (aside from mattresses, bc bed bugs) but we still need to afford cleaning supplies and basic appliances on top of that. you all have helped us tremendously over the past few months and without y'all we wouldn't have been able to pay the down payment. I sincerely appreciate all the help so far, and I'm hoping we will be able to get back on our feet now that we have housing sorted out. we just need to get situated in our new place!
#mad scrawl#I lost basically Everything when I left my last place#bc bugs + Horrors#it was a fight to even thrift half it T_T so i was rly sad. but hopefully we can rebuild!

Guess who just fished Two Real Paintings out of the engineering recycling dumpster and is about to spruce up their cubicle
#I can’t Believe someone threw two original paintings in the trash like that#like at least take them to a thrift store or something#like they’re signed and everything!#anyways guess they’ll stay with me until I can find them a new home#if anyone lives in the Irvine area and really wants a flower painting hmu I guess haha#humming-rambles#This trash can just has consistently the most interesting stuff#was a whole diy wood laser cut reindeer and sleigh with some sort of mechanical gears on them last week#nearly fished that one out too

can argue to death with me about how age restrictions on youtube are necessary but i will be DAMNED before i say Hinds Hall deserved to be age restricted. average american child on youtube can listen to H*rbu D*rbu (censoring in hopes to avoid algorithm engagement with the song) which is IOF praising genocidal propaganda, and- big fucking shocker- its not age restricted. i’m 100% sure the only reason Hind’s Hall was restricted was to deliberately suppress and avoid the spread of the song.
#tauto talks#i know damn well that it doesn’t matter that it’s songs in different languages shit in arabic is not free from age restrictions just because#it would not take a kid much leg work for someone to find an english translation if they wanted it#pop culture has an inseparable impact on the public perception of so fucking much and it sucks to say but i bet some people hadn’t had#everything delivered in a way that made them care#macklemore has a weird history of social activism in his music i apologize every day for making fun of him in highschool for thrift shop#like his song kevin does a lot to tackle americas overprescription to addiction to jail or death pipeline#it is sympathetic to the experience of an addict in ways a lot of people generally in society are not#this song did a bit to turn perspective to industries at fault and not the individual suffering#so watching hinds hall be age restricted? feels deliberate. as every move of suppression has felt#feeling particularly full of grief and hate today because i graduate soon#i can only think of every writer like me who did not get to see the stage like i will and it aches#stories the world will never see because it removed the chance#it’s almost like the youth of america are some of the most vibrant and opinionated and energetic parts of the population. youth affords time#change spreading like wildfire cannot be put out as fast as it grows#keep burning#free palestine#palestine#gaza genocide#free gaza#eyes on rafah#eyes on sudan#eyes on congo#eyes on darfur#liberate the world#hoping a swift but painful death to colonization

girl help the content about palestine on tiktok is turning from actual journalism content and educational resources and organized ways to help to "boycott everything or you're a bad person and if you don't use a game filter that generates 0.00001 cent you're personally the problem"
#of course theres still a lot of good stuff on there regarding activism but. *please*#the all-or-nothing disorganized activism comes from a good place but can also end up being discouraging/confusing for other people#theres a difference between 'follow this concise list of companies with proof of supporting israel as best you can'#and 'boycott everything on black friday/cyber monday because its the same time as the ceasefire ignore the sales and#don't buy anything from these big companies just make this a thrifty/homemade holiday season'#even though bds has amazon listed as a NON BOYCOTT company#and some people 1.) dont have a good selection of thrift/secondhand stores as alternatives#and 2.) cannot on short notice switch to making gifts for everyone#(like me! i switched away from homemade gifts *because its too much to do in the holiday season*)#(and switching up what im doing to all thrift/homemade would *cause me to burn myself out*)#mine#tiktok#free palestine#boycott

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits
#self#fantasy costume#If I had the money for a custom tailored fantasy-ish victorian-ish suit instead of piecing together random thrift store items with like walm#rt halloween costume type jackets and stuff..#unstoppable.....#I would actually lean more straight up historical with my wardrobe it's just that everything I own basically is thrifted aside from a very#small portion of things (like usually socks for example I get from ebay. wigs from ebay. things that it's hard to find in thrift stores. etc#) and I rarely ever find stuff like that at the bins. Your closest bet is like. hopeing that the week you come in just so happens to also be#a week that a church costume department recently donated a bunch of old stuff. but I just haven't really had much luck finding like fancy ve#sts and suit coats and cloaks or like tunics and etc. etc.#Styles like mori kei or cult party kei are pretty accessible and easy for places like the bins (where youre usually digging through piles of#curtains and fabric scraps and doilies anyway). but finding like.. a straight up tudor england costume or something is . VERY rare#Sometimes you do find halloween costumes. Or like. stuff that's clearly like cheap 'Goth' stuff from shein or aliexpress that someone has do#nated and they can be a LITTLE okay in terms of usable for costumes. But you rarely find actual good quality stuff. obviously because like#real very good quality historical costumes are expensive and most people aren't just like 'yeah dump it off to goodwill' lol#In an ideal world though I would have fancy top hats and neck ruffles and stuff .. know this ghhjbhj#Lack of that will not stop me from taking picturesin basically the same outfit 6000 times though. My one single silky black vest and#one of the two solitary ruffly neck shirts I have every been able to find.#Pointy-ish little boots that I put with everything even thogugh they look terrible up close because they're literally like over 10 yrs old#I bought them so long ago and the black fake leather lining is like peeling off of the outside#ANYWAY#he's back again... the same little generic like elf vampire ruffle shirt with vest look.. might as well be the same guy#I support him and his dumbass disintegrating shoes anyway

I've been getting a slew of videos recced to me about "not spending money for 30 days" from people who are so obviously well off and it just gives me the ick. Yes hyper-consumerism is something that people can easily fall into but I'd rather see content about buying food on a budget than a desperately privileged instagram girlies "giving up" money for a month.
These type of videos are giving me massive thrift haul vibes, which is a whole other beast in and of itself. But the idea acting like poor people to make it cute and consumable content just makes me want to barf.
#exe talkz#normal mode#consumerism#poverty#eat the rich#consumer culture#thrifting#haul culture#hyper consumerism#'I have to give up money so I can find myself' - girl you live in a cushy apartment in California and have everything you could ever need#I wish that was me but we can barely afford food for ourselves right now#Some of ya'll never lived off of $50 a month and it shows#If you want a good recc - atomicshrimp on youtube makes videos about meals on super small budgets

so mid that neal doesnt drink from antique glasses to match his antique clothes. up your game gayboy
#i say from my ivory tower of 1930s etched glasses#they're not technically depression glass because they are actually blown & etched rather than molded#but the time period is the same and they're that iconic shade of pink#google says tiffin franciscan#im SO sexy i love my wineglasses. four goddamn mortal bucks at lisas general store flea market and antiques mall#google wants anywhere between thirty and fifty#i love shopping for antiques where i live because everything's a steal#if i went antiquing in a bigger area it'd be costlier . but out here it's a fair bet nobody knows or will research what stuff's worth#so you can go to any thrift store and find rare old shit for dirt cheap#and thats a tip from me to you: go antiquing in the smallest towns you know . most of it's junk. the rest of it's awesome

i may have just come across one of my greatest thrifting finds
#brown vintage doc martens boots. made in england. exactly my size. for around 50 dollars#there's a tiny scuff mark that can be buffed out really easily with my leather care kit#like. my old doc martens boots just broke and i was looking into replacing them but everything was too pricey#but now. now i have my new holy grail of thrifting finds#and they were not used at all by the previous owner because they're not broken in#i feel like the luckiest little lady at the thrift store#🐌

No better way to end your day than to have your eye shanked by your boss' son! without any safe way of receiving medical attention! Then smiling about it to your last remaining family!
...Being a variant in this world is hard.
#amontag#adratag#featuring amon's shitty apartment#woa bad words#Amon could REALLY use a break. And actual rest. And money. Lots of it. poor boy's 17 and his only inheritance from his dad was $500k of deb#in which working as a mafia grunt is not cool and cash money#oc comic#oc lore#oc backstory#Amon's muscle/bone structure is SUPER dense! (contrary to birdpeople) most of the punches were reserved for the tender spots of his face.#he is violently holding back the urge to kill Mr.Richard Wucci here. Gotta stick to his grits because otherwise they can destroy everything#sometimes even having the advantage of immense strength means nothing and does nothing. talk about salting wounds!#needless to say Amon has built up an insurmountable amount of self-restraint. Not to mention endurance to obvious disrespect.#“Auntie” is actually not related to them at all. She and her husband run a local bodega and are close family friends. free dorto's!#Amon's fridge is holding on for dear life. Almost everything in his home was thrifted or just refurbished by him to try making things cozie#Both of them smile in an attempt to keep things light... But they're both painfully alone in a world that is entirely uncaring for them.#they need a hug.#If only someone short winged and angry could come and break them from this situation... but that doesn't come for two years or so.#ARK_SYSTEMA#art#artwork#digital art#my art#my artwork#MY OCs#original character#OC#my OC#OC art#Illustration

Guess who spent 2 hours putting all their clothes into different outfits and taking pictures so i can draw my ocs in them
#when the adhd says do something time consuming and dumb i must obey#also. i need to get rid of some clothes. but in my defense everything is either 5+years old or thrifted. aside from shoes bc size 5 is rare.#also my To Mend pile is getting huge. hope i can focus on that if/when i get adhd meds

If you're moving out of dorms this week, remember that there are local thrift stores, homeless shelters and non profits that would be beyond thrilled to get your new/gently used stuff and put it to good use.
