#10 happened to someone I know who bought a used backpack and then a few months later tried to travel with it. TSA stopped them bc the drug sniffer dogs went apeshit. They got very thoroughly searched :| Do you know how hard it is to explain that it really honest to gods "isn't mine man!" to the TSA?

Least fun parts of thrift shopping:

This thrift shop used to have jeans for like $3 and now everything is priced like it's new

Hear about a cool new thrift shop in town and you check it out and it's actually "vintage upcycling and consignment" so the shredded jorts are $250 on sale

This place used to get cool stuff but the tiktok haul resale people found it and now anything decent is snapped up and immediately resold for like $500 online

"Ooh this is cute" and then you check and it's shein

"Ooh this is cute" and then you check and it's Harry P*tter

The jacket of your dreams is in your price range but it's 3 sizes too small

Your absolute FAVOURITE thrifted item finally wears out beyond salvation and when you do research to maybe find a replacement it's been discontinued since 1983

Check the pockets and find used kleenex

STICKY THING

This was exactly what I was looking for but I can't get the weed remnants out

"This is obviously broken but I know how to fix it" (never fixes it)

Drunken Mistakes

Prompt: You get too drunk one night and embarrass yourself in front of your captain.

Part 2

Trafalgar Law X Fem Reader

“Oh come on y/n!! We’re finally on land! Lets go have some fun,” Ikkaku begged you. She noticed you taking pajamas out of your locker over something to wear out.

        “You know I don’t party,” You say over your shoulder, unzipping your jumpsuit. As the only 2 women on board, you two shared a rather large room, you even had full-size beds over the twin bunk beds the men shared in their rooms, which housed 4 people to a room. Law was nice enough to provide everyone with their own personal desk and locker.

        Ikkaku placed a hand on her hip, “That’s the point! You’re not going to party but you can watch me to make sure I don’t do anything stupid” She was eager to get of the submarine, it had been a month since they had last been on land, and Captain said they’d be staying for a week or two as everyone was getting a little ship madness stuck inside. “Come on! Please?” She walked up beside you and started rummaging through your clothes before pulling out a rather revealing romper.

        She wiggled it in front of you before you sighed, “Alright, but I’m only watching your sorry ass from the side lines. We can’t have you getting lost now.” You grab the romper and think about how even when you have time to wear anything, you still choose clothes that are like the crews jumpsuit.

~~~

        The island was fun, there was an entire street full of bars to choose from, each just as rowdy, loud, and addictive as the last. Ikkaku finally decided on one and you couldn’t help but wonder if she pre-planned this when she squeals and runs up to the two familiar faces of Penguin and Shachi.

        “Heyyyy You got Y/N out of your guys room, How’d you manage that?” Penguin happily yelled as you sat down across from them.

        Shachi and Penguin gave each other a look before getting their notorious smiles, this could only mean one thing. And absolutely awful idea that they’d be insistent on. Before you could retreat from the crew's pranksters they flank either side of you, place their hands on your shoulders, making sure you stay sitting. “Y/N why don’t you relax a little bit,” Shachi said putting an empty mug in front of you.

        “Yea, come on Y/N you haven’t let loose in a longgg time,” Penguin grinned as he poured some liquor into the glass. It had been a couple of months since you drank last, but you also got absolutely shit-faced that last time and can’t remember much of the night other than Bepo having to carry you back to the ship and Ikkaku holding your hair up as you puked.

        “You know I’m on watch tomorrow morning, I can’t drink tonight,” You thought up an excuse as quick as they had started their shenanigans.

        “But Y/N… It’s Jean Bart's turn to watch tomorrow, you’re on duty in 3 days,” Ikkaku blurted out, remembering the schedule I had hung in our room, she had a wicked smile on her.

        “You guys planned this didn’t you,” You sigh as you relent a little bit, taking hold of the glass in front of you and you can hear Penguin let out a small giggle, he had been drunk before you even walked in. “No more than 4 drinks. A round per person,” You chug the liquid in the mug as the three cheer around you, accomplishing their mission.

~~~

        You hadn’t realized how tense you’d been lately until the liquid forced you to relax. After the 4th round, Shachi had suggested going to a different bar, one with a much better selection of booze and you decided to continue drinking.

        “Y/N you’ve been working so hard recently, we’re glad you’re finally relaxing a bit,” Penguin murmured from where his head had rested on his arm still holding a glass half drunk. You giggle a bit at the display before taking the glass and finishing the rum, Shachi was still quite Sober compared to either you and Penguin, and Ikkaku was still off grabbing another round for the table.

        You leaned forward on the table, your cleavage becoming all the more evident, “Well Sachi! I think you should take a penalty drink!” You Grin at him, you’d never been able to pronounce his name correctly once you started drinking.

        “Oh? And what, Pray-tell, is this penalty for?!” He laughed out also leaning in, never one to back down from a battle.

        “You, my good sir,” You pointed towards his chest, “Are still wearing the jumpsuit,” Slurring half the words as Ikkaku sits back down with a tray of drinks.

        “You heard the boss, Penalty drink for still wearing uniform,” Ikkaku smiled out handing Shachi a shot glass of god knows what. He sighed defeat and took a shot, “But Y/N that means you need a penalty drink for not covering up your tattoos.”

        You look down and around yourself, realizing the romper was just straps and showed off the tattoos on your shoulders and gave a small peak to the larger one on your back, “Thas not fair!” You pouted before grabbing the shot and pounding it back.

~~~

All four of you had returned rather late, all praying that Hakugan, the watch for the night, wouldn’t tell on you, or even worse, the captain was still awake to scold the four of you. It had been well past 3am and Law had always wanted everyone back on the ship by 1am or for them to sleep in hotels at that point.

None of you thought you’d be out this late and none of you wanted to even try to find a hotel, best to just sneak back into your rooms. After all, once you’re close enough to your rooms, you can claim you were just going to the bathroom.

Shachi was holding up Penguin as you and Ikkaku had been supporting each other, trying to hold back any giggling or words as you climbed onboard. The one thing you were jealous of was how close some of the men’s room were to the top of the ship, Your and Ikkaku’s room were toward the bottom so you had to traverse much further than your two crewmates.

Penguin nodded a goodbye and Shachi barely managed to open the door to their room, thankfully, it had seemed as though their roommates had opted to stay out for the night.

Ikkaku makes eye contact with you and you continue to walk towards your quarters, and you both start to giggle. As you get closer to your room you motion for Ikkaku to continue without you, pointing towards the bathroom as explanation.

She looks at you and gives a thumbs up trying to hold back any noise, The Captains room was just slightly further down the hall and we’d be dead if he caught us. You watch as she retreats into the shared room as you slink towards the bathroom.

As soon as you enter the bathroom your met with a blinding light, no doubt left on by Ikkaku from before you two even left, but as you walk further in, reaching out for where the light switch should be (Opting for darkness over the headache inducing light) You bump into something. Or rather, someone. You stop, your hand on the wall, if you had been more sober you’d know you should have felt the light switch by now if this was the girls Bathroom.

“Y/N-ya.” A dry familiar voice rings into your ears as your eyes snap open, staring at the tattooed chest of your captain. “I see you had a fun night.”

You couldn’t register the emotion in your Captains voice and you couldn’t quite sober yourself up, try as you might. “C-captain!” You blurt out peering up, straightening your back and trying not to let the giggle you feel out. The man in front of you was only wearing a towel, rather low on his hips at that and his hair was damp. After a second of holding your breath to try and maintain a serious demeanor the cold hard stare of your captain makes you burst out laughing a bit, stumbling over your feet, “You’re not suppose to be in here~” You point your finger a bit before tapping his toned chest.

Yep, this must have been a dream, you must have passed out somewhere and this was a fantasy. There’s no way your captain would every allow you to touch his bare chest like this. You place both your hands gingerly on the taller mans shoulders before slowly moving them down, taking in the feeling of the toned chest in front of you, “It feels so real,” You murmur under your breath as your hands venture to the mans hips.

Law inhales sharply at the sudden touch. As your hands venture back up to his chest, tracing the outlines of his tattoos his own hands grab hold of yours, stopping any movement, “Are you having fun, Y/N-ya?” He leans down to whisper into your ear.

The voice sends shivers down your spine and you can feel yourself getting excited. “Well if this is a dream…” You murmer before leaning in, attaching yourself to your captains neck. Not even a second later you felt yourself being shoved into the cold metal wall.

Law had pushed you back while also lifting your legs around him and your arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, “I can assure you, Y/N-ya… This is plenty real.” You look up at the captain, registering his words and the slight pain in your head that had barely hit the wall and the sudden realization sobers you up almost immediately. Your eyes widen and you suddenly become hyper aware of the position your in hanging your head to avoid Law’s gaze, “Looks like you’re finally awake.”

Part 2 / Part 4

The last two days had seemed the drag by. Your dinner plans constantly on your mind. It had caused several emotions to rotate through you. From anxiety to excitement, it seemed like a never-ending cycle.

Currently, you felt more anxiety than anything as you made your way towards his office. You had spent the last hour going through your closest. Trying to decide what you wanted to wear was harder than you'd have originally thought. You didn't want to just wear your everyday uniform. After going through every piece of clothing you owned, which turns out it wasn't a lot, you had opted for a simple black dress/romper. Doing some light makeup and wearing your hair down.

Coming face to face with his office door, your nerves were eating you alive. It had been so long since you had been in a situation like this, by your own choice. Pushing through, you knocked. The door opened before you had finished, a nervous looking Copia on the other side. At least you weren't alone. Taking in his appearance, you not the nice black button up and black slacks. He looks good. "(Y/N)! You are here." He cringed into himself at his awkwardness. You give him a soft smile, trying to calm his nerves and yours. "Please come in, il mio fiore!" He stepped to the side and opened the door wider to let you in. "Thank you, again, for inviting me." Your smile had yet to fall. "Thank you for coming." He countered, gracing you with a meek smile of his own.

Scanning the room, it had changed since you had last seen it. It was tidier. There was now a decent sized square table, adorned with a variety of different foods, that now sat in the normally empty space. With quick steps, Copia moved to pull out a beautiful ornate chair for you. "Please sit!" Taking your seat, you thank him. Waiting for him to take his place, you remove your mask. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so I had a couple of different options made. So please help yourself!" He motioned to the table. Doing a quick scan of the prepared foods, your eyes immediately land on your favorite. Copia takes a mental note as you begin to dress your plate quietly. He finally takes a moment to just take you in. "You look absolutely stunning tonight, il mio fiore." He said it as if he was completely enamored by you, which in turn causes your face to immediately flush hot.

Making eye contact, you both sit with an awkward air surrounding the two of you for a couple of heartbeats. You let out a small giggle. You felt like a human teenager. "Thank you, Copia. You don't look so bad yourself." He flashed a small smile, and his eyes brightened. Breaking his eyes away, reaching for an already open bottle. "Ehh, would you like some wine?" He motioned to the empty glass to your right. "Yes, thank you." Sliding the glass closer to him, he began to pour the pale pink liquid. "How has your day been?" He asked, push the glass back and filling his own. "It has been good. Pretty normal. How was yours? Anything exciting?" You bring your glass to your lips and savor the taste. It was light and sweet with a lovely berry flavor.

"It has been okay. Lots of paperwork and band work mainly." He talks while dressing his plate. The silence falls back into place as you both begin to eat. It continues that way till Copia notices you glass empty. "More wine?" He offers. "Yes, thank you!" You smile politely, and he fills your cup. "So, what is it like being Papa for you?" You were curious. "It's a lot, honestly. There is always something that needs to be done or someone who needs me. Sono sempre stanco, but I make due. The other Papa's had made it look so easy." You chuckle. "It was not easy for them by any means, I can tell you that. They all had their own struggles."

"Were you close to them?" You take a sip before you answer. "I suppose in some ways. I've been around for a long time. I essentially got to watch them grow into the men they were. I even got to see Papa Nihil in his youth. I was probably closest to Primo out of all of them. Even in his younger years, we just kinda clicked." Copia soaked up every word. He enjoyed learning about you and what you had to share. A sadness rang through his heart at the discovery, though. You had been close to his brothers. Brothers who are long gone from this earth. "What was it like?" The question confused you. "Was what like?" "Knowing them. What were they like. I never got the chance to know them beyond surface level." Studying his face, you let out a sigh. It hurt to think about them, but didn't he deserve to know who they really were? "Primo was strong headed and passionate about his hobbies. He loved his garden fiercely and took his duties very seriously, but he had a sense of humor. He listened with such intensity and gave the best advice." You took another sip from your glass before continuing.

"Secondo was similar in ways but so different. He was wild in his off time. Confident. While he was Papa, he was strict but kind. Terzo was wild, too. He was flashy, flirty, and flamboyant in a sense. He probably struggled with being Papa the most out of the three. Not that he didn't try." Sometimes Copia wasn't the best at hiding what he felt. This was one of those times, everything showing on his face. "Are you okay?" Your question seemed to catch him off guard. "Like really okay?" Giving a small smile, he nods. "Sí, il mio fiore. Why do you ask?" "Just asking. Sometimes, it's good to check with people." He quieted for a second, looking at you. "Are you okay, il mio fiore?" You opened your mouth to say something along the lines of 'I'm fine' but stop yourself, pressing your lip together. You hold contact with his mismatched colored eyes.

This was an opportunity to talk to someone. To let someone know what you feel, but also get hurt. It was an opportunity to build an attachment that would inevitably end. Leaving you alone again. Could you take that risk? Would you even allow yourself? When you had lost Primo, it had been so hard. He had been your best friend for so long. Could you do that again? You already felt too close to some of Copia's ghouls. A tight feeling forms in the back of your throat as you try to hold your emotions in. You could feel your eyes grow watery. It was overwhelming. Having all these questions for yourself but no answers. 'You know i honestly don't know.' Is what you should say. Be honest with him.

"I guess I manage." It wasn't a lie. His eyes lingered on you as if he could sense the inner turmoil but did not press. Shifting your attention back to your plate, you take a couple of bites. "Tell me about what being on tour is like." He perked up at the topic change."Oh! Touring both funny and exhausting. Getting to see different people and places, but it moves so fast." You listen intently as you eat. "When I am on stage, I can be confident and myself. I can mess with the ghouls, and they mess back. The crowds love it. It feels good. Sleeping on the bus isn't great. It's probably my least favorite part. " You give a chuckle at that. "You said being on stage makes you confident?" "Yes. I could say or do practical anyway, and the fans would eat it up." He makes a nom nom nom sound that causes you to laugh. "Sometimes, it feels like I have to keep up the raunchiness, but that's not hard." He wiggled his eyebrows, and you both laugh. "I bet."

As the laughter died down, Copia spoke up. "I have a bit of a, eh, personal question." Smiling, you nod, encouraging him to talk. "What was it like when you were summoned?" That was probably the last question you thought would be asked. "Oh, umm." "You don't have to answer if you don't want to!" He quickly amended, sensing the shift. "No. No, it just kind of took me by surprise. It wasn't - " You pause leaning back in your chair. "It wasn't good. I was summoned by Papa Nihals' grandfather in 1894. They were very inexperienced. Still trying to figure us ghouls out. When I was pulled from the pit, I was pulled away from everything I knew. I had to leave those important to me. I was confused and scared. It was all so different from what I'm used to. Even time moves differently. Unlike now, I had no one to help me understand. " Copia kept his eyes glued to you, listening to every word with intensity. "I was "farel". I attacked and killed 3 men that night. What did they expect? You back someone into a corner and expect it to go well. Doesn't work that way." You watch him, gauging his reactions to the information you were giving him.

Copia was hardly fazed. You were a ghoul. He had been around enough throughout his life to know better. "They kept me locked away from the majority of the clergy and siblings of sin. The rest of the summoned ghouls seem to have adjusted fairly quickly. It took me four years to come to terms with what was now my life." Copia was still processing it all. "I'm sorry. That must have been hard." You shrug. "Shit happen. It was a long time ago. Just make sure you are understanding of the new ghoul." You began to fill your glass again only for it to not even fill a quarter of the way. "Looks like we went through that fast." You laughed out. "Want to go for a walk and snag some from the good stash?" Copia asked with a look in his eyes that was new to you. Something akin to mischief. "Hell yeah!" You stand, swallowing the leftover wine in your glass and done your mask. Copia follows. "Let's go."

Leaving his office, Copia leads the way. Fallowing close behind you notice, he's not heading towards the celler. No. He leads you straight to Sister Imperators office. "No way." You look at him with wide eyes. He flashes another mischievous look and pulls out a set of keys. Unlocking the door, he quietly makes his way into the room. "Keep a look out. Wouldn't want to get caught." There was an underlying snicker in his voice. You kinda liked this new side of him. It was playful. You look both ways down the hall as he goes straight to a wood cabinet in the corner and pulls out 2 bottles from the back. "Let's get out of here." He scurried back out of the room, handing the bottles to you so he could lock the door. You definitely felt like a human teenager. Grabbing one back, he makes quick strides down the hall and in the direction of the door that leads to the garden. He looks back to you. "I have something I want to show you." Holding the door open, he waits for you to exit.

Once you're both outside, he grabs your hand and tugs you in the direction of the out edge of the garden. Coming to a full stop at the herb beds, you notice some new additions. A brand new stone bench sets in front of the lemon grass, which butts up against Primo's greenhouse. On either side of the bench are pots filled with (favorite flower).

This is your spot. You often come out here at night to think or spend some time alone. Turning to face him, you see him watching you. "You did this? How did you know?" His ears and neck flush, and he brings his hand up to rub the back of his neck. "As much as I would love to take credit, no. I didn't do it alone. I employed the help of my ghouls on this one. Sodo and Mountain mainly." You surge forward and pull him into a hug. "Thank you." He slowly hugged you back. "Sei il benvenuto, fiore mio." Pulling away, he gave you a smile.

Walking over to the bench, you plop down and pat the spot beside you, smiling back. As he was sitting down, another voice rang out across the garden. "Papa!" Groaning softy, he stands back up. "Sí?" Before too long, a Sister makes her way over, handing him a letter. "Papa, Sister Imperator has requested you meet her in her office." "Yes. Tell her I will be there shortly." Nodding the Sister turns and leaves. "Unfortunately, our time has been cut. Il mio fiore, please forgive me." Offering him a small smile, you reassure him. "It's alright. I understand." "Would you like me to hide these for another time?" He holds up the bottle in his hand. "I would love that." You hand him yours. "Goodnight, Il mio fiore." "Goodnight Copia."

A sadness spread through your chest as the feeling of loneliness came creeping back. Watching him turn away just made it worse. Before you knew it, your body reacted, reaching out and griping his wrist. A thought shot across your mind. What are you doing? Your actions seemed to startle him as he looked back at you. "Will you come back here? Tomorrow night? To meet with me?" You ask, desperately wanting him to say yes. "Of course. Right before dark. I'll be here." With that, you let his wrist go, and he walked away. With him out of eyesight, you bring your knees to your chest, wrap your tail around them, and enjoy sometime in the garden.

-

sono sempre stanco- I am always tired.

Sei il benvenuto, fiore mio.- You are very welcome, my flower

-

If at least one part of this gave you second hand embarrassment, then I portrayed the akwarkness the way I wanted to. Sorry it took so long to get this one out. I spent like 3 hours one day trying to work out dates for when (Y/N) would have been summoned and rewrote this part like twice. Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed the read. As always, feedback and requests are always appreciated and encouraged.

I beg of you all to please ignore the cringe of my posing, I’m horrifically awkward in front of a camera.

Wanted to show off some clothes I’ve made recently!

First up, houndstooth pants! They’re EXTREMELY comfortable, 100% cotton, and thrifted fabric! Eveything was from the stash so it feels like no money spent here!

The pattern is a “vintage”(see, old, thrifted) Butterrick pattern, number B5612 wide leg pant with zipper.

Next up: this dope jumpsuit/romper, whatever people call it, made from, you may have recognized it, IKEA cotton upholstery fabric! It’s from McCalls M7626, and honestly; I’ve had to do a pretty shitty looking adjustment to the straps in the back because the straps were too short and I have no fabric left to adjust them with. Need to find some matching knit instead of the black currently there but, that’ll probably fall by the wayside for a while. 10/10, I wear this all the time.

Last for this post, a lovely cross front, tie in back flowy sleeve top in a stunning fabric I got at JoAnns. As far as I can tell, 100% polyester. Pattern is unfortunately lost on me right now. I’ll update if I can figure out which it was, definitely a big 4 pattern but I can’t find it in my catalogue right now.

To be honest I’m moving away from cropped clothes so if anyone’s interested in buying this, I’d probably sell it really cheap if you pay for shipping. Would be an American size between medium and large but the tie back and cross front nature of the shirt means you could really wear this still even if you’re bigger or smaller than me.

As a final note, I do not and will not ever edit any of my photos displaying anything I’ve made or pictures of myself. 1) I’m too lazy to edit and 2) I’m firmly in the party that if you do anything besides color adjustments to fit real life, it’s a bit of a falsification of your body/item to viewers and that just doesn’t vibe with me. Any time I do edit, it will be clearly marked as such at the beginning of the post and in the tags.

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: Flashy Labradorite & Blue Topaz Multi Gemstone Handmade Pendant.

I can't find the link, but I remember reading this was because of shrinking family sizes.

When most families had 4-5 kids (some had a lot more) and clothes were hand-me-downs, they were unisex designs.

1950s: Contraceptives became more reliable, more available... and in the 60s, LEGAL.

When families, especially upper-middle-class families, started having fewer and fewer kids - when a family had two-maybe-three kids, those who did hand-me-downs had less need to buy clothes. A shirt, pants, romper, etc. would survive ownership by a second or maybe third kid, where outfits handed down more than that would just wear out. Parents formerly had to buy new clothes at every 2-3 kids: Older kid got an outfit; 2nd kid got those when older kid was done; 3rd kid might get those or might get new clothes, if the ages didn't line up for that. 4th/5th was definitely getting new outfits if the 3rd didn't, because the clothes were falling apart or too stained by that time.

Two kids: No need to buy two outfits, ever! When older kid outgrows something, it becomes second kid's clothes! Especially for babies, before they have any preferences about color or style.

Clothing manufacturers panicked. They needed a gimmick to force parents to buy new clothes.

AHA! You cannot give your younger BOY child a GIRL shirt, can you? No. You need NEW clothes for younger BOY.

You can't give younger GIRL child a boy's pair of rugged jeans! She needs something PRETTY! Something DELICATE!

Oh hey look, DELICATE clothes fall apart before she can hand it to her younger sister.

…Any time you see discrimination in mainstream business practices, look for the profits.

“I’m having my son in 2 months and I’m jealous of how cute baby girl clothes are” you can put your newborn son in a little strawberry print romper, I swear. he won’t mind. he won’t develop a complex over it, I promise.

Comfort Meets Style: A Mom’s Guide to Safe Hair Picks

baby’s hair accessories should be as gentle as the tiny heads they adorn. Before adding those adorable bows to your cart, double-check the details that guarantee safety and comfort.

1. Soft Edges, No Metal

Look for rounded clip tips and covered seams. Silicone-lined alligator clips grip fine strands without tugging, while plush headbands distribute pressure evenly—especially important for newborns.

2. Sizes That Grow With Baby

Stretch-to-fit designs from the Headbands category often span 0-12 months, saving parents from monthly upgrades. Adjustable knots or Velcro tabs make sure bands stay snug yet never tight.

3. Everyday Practicality

Lightweight knit sweatbands wick moisture on warm walks, whereas fleece-lined bows keep ears cosy in winter. Coordinate colors with seasonal staples: muted pinks pair well with ribbed footies, and bold stripes complement sand-proof rompers found in Basics.

4. Styling in Stages

0-3 months: ribbon bows attached to soft caps protect delicate fontanelles.

3-6 months: petite snap clips manage first fringe without slipping.

6-12 months: stretchy scrunchies create half-up ponytails for active crawlers.

Swap items regularly to keep hair roots relaxed and prevent matting.

5. Gentle Cleaning Routine

Spot-clean satin bows using baby-safe detergent, then air-dry. Machine-wash knit pieces in a lingerie bag on delicate. Place tiny clips in a small screw-top jar to avoid losing them in the wash.

6. Sustainable Swaps

Opt for organic cotton or bamboo blends whenever possible. Not only do they reduce irritation, they also align with eco-friendly values shared across the store’s Blankets & Swaddles and Bath Towels shelves.

Your little fashionista can look fabulous without compromising well-being. Smart choices today build lifelong hair health—and complement every upcoming set of baby accessories.

Option 2: Here is the performance for another look at the outfit.

I just said some of this in the comments but you cannot assume that all fashion brands which ensure fair/living wages and decent treatment of factory workers are selling $180 t-shirts or whatever all of the time, and so therefore you "can't afford to buy more ethical products."

Op touched on some of this too, but like:

Step one: reduce consumption.

Also repair what you already own and like! Mend it, spend a little money to get it tailored, etc. Reuse what you can.

The thrift/secondhand clothes market is absolutely flooded with clothing because the fashion industry overproduces SO MUCH at such high volumes. There is more clothing than thrift/consignment stores can possibly ever sell. It's also easier than ever to find decent quality clothing secondhand online. There's no reason to ever shop ultra fast fashion like shein or temu, because there's still nice quality stuff for under $20 or under $10 in real life and online thrift/used markets all the time.

As for slow/ethical/eco fashion and clothing companies: Yes, sometimes they sell a T-shirt for $64 or $118!

But do you know what else I have seen these companies do?:

They have a wide variety of bonus discounts people can qualify for (including literally "low income discount.")

They often have their own secondhand markets for their clothing, so you can buy their clothing used and at a discount easily!

Some of them have textile recycling programs that are either free or involve purchasing the recycling return label bag, and the items you send to be recycled then grant you a credit towards shopping. (I just got a $25 gift card to a shop this way.)

They may have mistaken overstock of a specific color or size sales! (Wow that $168 dress is now $25 because they screwed up and ordered too many.)

They significantly discount retiring prints/patterns/styles or low stock items!

They have sample, archive, or seasonal end sales at big discounts.

Hell, it's April. A lot of them are discounting things for earth month.

Like if you're at a place where you can afford target new, and you're not able to find something used for what you need, then you need to know there are more ethical, sustainable, or accountable options out there with equivalent prices when you check sales.

Guess which one(s) is/are Target Brand at full price, and which are just things on sale at companies that do offer documentation on their factories, supply chain, their fair labor/trade certifications, employee guarantees, environmental impact reports, etc etc for all the clothing made?:

V-neck tee $18

Slim fit v-neck tee $15

Billow sleeve tee $20

Mock turtleneck long sleeve tee $20

Open front cardigan $30

Babydoll romper $30

Terry side zip pullover $25

Belted tea length dress $28

Organic cotton tee $15

Ruffled column dress $37

Men's fleece hoodie $35

Men's graphic hoodie $33

Halter jumpsuit $50

Ribbed tunic sweatshirt $30

Pointelle rib cardigan $18

Long sleeve shirt dress $45

Twill pencil skirt $25

V neck peplum top $23

Yes, I did ensure to include plus size inclusive brands!

Answers below the cut:

Target brand items: 2, 4, 5, 11, 13, 14, and 16.

"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

This post will show you what to wear on the 4th of July, with outfit ideas and clothing under $100. Fireworks, BBQs, and red, white, and blue everything… the 4th of July is right around the corner, which means it’s time to put together a cute outfit to mark the occasion. If you’re wondering what to wear on the Fourth of July, this is the post for you! I’ve come up with six Fourth of July outfit ideas for the many different ways you might be spending Independence Day, with options ranging from ultra-casual to dressy. These red, white, and blue outfits are on-trend and non-cheesy, so you won’t have to sacrifice your style while dressing for this fun summer holiday. Plus, read on for a selection of more than 15 Americana-inspired clothing items under $100 that are perfect for the Fourth of July. 1. Laid-Back 4th of July Outfit There’s nothing more classic than wearing blue jean shorts and a red top on Independence Day—it is the ideal look for casual, backyard hangs with friends that will keep you comfy while looking cute. This cropped red USA graphic print t-shirt couldn’t be more perfect for the 4th of July, and will look great with some distressed, high-rise denim shorts. Throw on a graphic print trucker hat like this “American Honey” one with a red, white, and blue color scheme, and wear sneakers to keep the outfit laid-back. These red and white Adidas Sambas happen to match the outfit perfectly, and of course, you’ll be able to wear them the rest of the year, too. Don’t forget to wear some fun jewelry like these beaded bracelets with patriotic accents that come in a pack of three. 2. Cute 4th of July Outfit The Fourth never looked so cute! Gingham is a huge trend this summer, and Independence Day is an excellent occasion to wear this classic, eye-catching print. This navy blue and white gingham print mini dress is absolutely adorable, with a smocked waist, double-tier skirt, and halter neckline. It even has pockets, removable pads (so you don’t have to wear a bra if you don’t want to) and built-in shorts (making it a skort) so you’ll feel comfortable all day long. Style it with nautical-inspired jewelry, like these gold anchor drop earrings and a charm bracelet with aquatic charms. Now we can’t forget about the red in the red, white, and blue color palette, so give the ensemble a pop of red with this woven red straw tote bag that has a convenient removable leather crossbody strap; the straw material makes it extra summery. Sandals would look great with this outfit, but I also like the idea of wearing some white woven mule flats, which are another trend this season. Perhaps my favorite accessory is the red, white, and blue knitted hair bow barrette, which adds a girly touch—it would look especially cute with a half-up, half-down hairstyle.  3. Western 4th of July Outfit A western-inspired look feels appropriate for the Fourth, especially when it involves cowboy boots and a super cute denim romper. This button-front denim romper has a halter neckline and a retro vibe, and it’s available in a wide size range, from size 00 to 30. Play up its vintage design with a retro-inspired red faux leather shoulder bag that has a white star patch and piping, along with some retro-looking aviator sunglasses with blue lenses. This wouldn’t be a western look without a red bandana (which you can wear in your hair, around your neck, or around your wrist as a bracelet) and some cowboy boots—this red pair with studs are guaranteed to make a statement. If you don’t want to wear an actual cowboy hat, you can still “wear” the look on your ears with these fun rhinestone cowboy hat drop earrings. 4. Trendy 4th of July Outfit Looking for a trendy 4th of July outfit? Look no further. If you’re hitting the town and want a festive going out outfit, this combo is a perfect choice. Start with some straight-leg jeans in a blue wash and dress them up with some red mule kitten heel sandals. Kitten heel are very in this season, plus they are easier to walk in compared to stilettos! This red strapless top with a fringe hem and back tie details is so eye-catching, festive, and summery. Accessorize with a cool handbag, like this white faux leather shoulder bag with silver studs all over it, along with silver jewelry to match, like some silver wavy post earrings. This outfit is a trend-forward way to do the Fourth in style! 5. Preppy 4th of July Outfit Preppy looks are an adorable option to wear on the Fourth of July, and there are so many ways you can get the look. For example, go for a cotton dress with a breezy silhouette and a classic blue and white striped pattern like this mini dress with ruffled trimming (and pockets!). Espadrilles tend to have a preppy vibe, and these white ankle strap espadrille sandals with a woven flatform sole are as classic as they are stylish. Accessories will take your look to the next level: a red rib knit topknot headband, raffia shell-shaped drop earrings, and a beaded shoulder bag all have a preppy feel and add character to the outfit. In particular, beaded handbags with fun, kitschy prints have been trending this season, and this tomato-print beaded shoulder bag couldn’t be any cuter (plus it matches the outfit’s color palette perfectly). 6. Beachy 4th of July Outfit Got beach, lake, or pool plans on the Fourth? Lucky you! In that case, you’ll want to wear an easy, breezy, beachy look in the red, white, and blue color scheme. Flowy white linen pants are a summertime must-have, and have a total beachy vibe. Style them with a red halter crop top and a blue necklace; this layered necklace is giving Fisherman Core vibes with its coastal charms and fish pendant. Now, while you don’t *have* to wear blue sandals (white, red, or beige sandals all work well with this outfit), these bright blue slide sandals were too cute not to include, and they happen to match the layered necklace perfectly. Slide sandals are also ideal for the beach and pool, since you can slip them on and off easily to dip your toes in the water. Be sure to wear some trendy sunglasses, like these tortoise-framed aviator sunglasses with blue lenses, if you’ll be outdoors during the daytime. Red, White, & Blue Clothing Under $100 Want more options? These red, white, and blue clothing items will help you achieve the perfect Independence Day look without breaking the bank. Blue & White Striped Halter Dress How adorable is this blue and white striped halter neck dress? Its bold yet classic stripe pattern is super eye-catching, while details like its halter neckline and tiered skirt give it a feminine feel. You could easily dress this up for the Fourth with heels, or keep it casual with flat sandals or sneakers. “Howdy” Tank Top Make a statement (literally) with this fun “Howdy” graphic print tank top. It doesn’t get much more American than saying “Howdy,” and combined with its red and white color scheme, it’s definitely giving Americana. It goes with anything from jeans to denim shorts, maxi skirts, and more. Red & White Striped Pants For a cute, casual vibe, go for these red and white striped pants. They are comfy and stretchy, with a flared silhouette that gives them a retro feel. I love how they look when paired with a white tube top, or you could opt for an oversized graphic print t-shirt for a more laid-back effect. Red & White Gingham Mini Dress As I mentioned earlier, gingham is one of this summer’s hottest prints to wear. Get in on the trend this Independence Day with a red and white gingham print mini dress featuring a V-neck and smocking at the back. Best of all, the dress is made from a cotton and linen blend which means it’s going to help keep you cool during the July heat! Denim Romper Denim is a hallmark of American style, and this blue denim romper has an elevated design that makes it feel extra festive. All you’ll need to do is add in some red and white accessories, and you’ll be all set for the Fourth! Consider wearing a red or blue bandana around your neck (as shown above) and some cowboy boots or sandals with the romper. American Flag Embroidered Tank Top No, that’s not a typo—this tank top with an American flag embroidered on the front is only $5! This ultra-affordable tank is going to make you instantly 4th of July-ready. The cute American flag embroidered on the front is just the right size to make a statement without going overboard. It will look just as great with denim shorts or jeans as it will with a cute skirt or flowy linen pants. Since it is a basic, the options are endless! Navy Striped Strapless Drop Waist Mini Dress We’ve got the stripes, so now all you have to do is add in the stars. This adorable strapless mini dress features a navy blue and white striped design (it also comes in a red and white striped design that is equally cute and patriotic) with built-in shorts and pockets. Available in regular, petite, and tall sizing, this dress has a drop-waist silhouette that is right on trend, and its soft, breezy fabric makes it as comfy as it is cute. Red & White Striped Star Top Speaking of stars and stripes, this top has both! With a relaxed, loose fit and a soft, comfy cotton fabrication, this long-sleeve tee gives off an effortless vibe thanks to its vintage-inspired look. It would look super cute with either blue or white denim (shorts, jeans, or skorts). Navy Striped Strapless Crop Top Available in both blue and white stripes and red and white stripes, this adorable strapless crop top is definitely Fourth of July material. Its Americana color palettes and striped pattern, along with its sweet lace trim and bow, make it a top contender for the summer holiday—but of course, you’ll want to wear it all summer long since it’s a cute way to beat the heat. U.S.A. Graphic Print Tank Top A graphic print tank top or t-shirt is one of the easiest ways to show off your spirit, and this U.S.A. print tank top with an American flag and an affordable price tag is going to match with nearly any bottom you already own thanks to its basic design. With a light gray hue, ribbed cotton-blend material, and subtle graphic design, it’s super versatile and effortless. Pinstripe Short Overalls Short overalls are always a good idea in the summertime, and these blue denim overalls are extra cute thanks to the pinstriped design. These subtle stripes are perfect for achieving the “stars and stripes” look on Independence Day, and their shade of deep blue denim fits the color scheme of the holiday. Wear them with a red tank top or crop top and white sneakers or sandals for a playful, laid-back look. Striped Blue Smocked Maxi Dress This striped blue maxi dress with a smocked bust is a total classic that you’ll be able to wear on many occasions beyond the Fourth. It features a timeless silhouette that looks good on everyone, and when paired with summery accessories like a straw basket bag, espadrille sandals, and cute jewelry (red drop earrings would be perfect for Independence Day), it will make you look ultra polished. The dress is made with 100% organic cotton gauze, which is lightweight and airy, making it ideal for the summertime heat. “America’s Sweetheart” Graphic Print T-Shirt I am obsessed with this fun graphic print t-shirt that says “America’s Sweetheart” in red lettering across the front. It has a fitted silhouette that makes it extra cute and feminine, and is sure to be a conversation starter. Even when paired with basic jeans or shorts, you’ll be the center of attention with this top. American Flag Embroidered Sweat Shorts Keep it casual with some sweat shorts with a cute American flag embroidered on the front. This little detail is key to making these shorts patriotic rather than completely basic. At the same time, they are still ultra comfortable and soft, making them an easygoing choice to wear on the Fourth of July. P.S. — they’re also great for any beach, pool, or lake day plans you may have during the holiday weekend! Red & White Striped Sweater Mini Dress This red and white striped sweater mini dress couldn’t be cuter to celebrate the Fourth in, with its halter neckline and knit material. It also has an open back, making it extra summery, and comes in a wide size range from XXS to 4X. Whether you wear it during the day to an outdoor celebration or at night to go out in, it’s a top pick for July 4th. Embroidered Pointelle Tank Top Fisherman Core is one of the season’s trendiest aesthetics, and this aesthetic happens to overlap with Americana style, making it a stylish choice to wear on the Fourth. Get the look with this adorable white pointelle tank top with navy blue straps and a red crab embroidered on the front. It is totally giving Fisherman Core (even with its shellfish design), but its red, white, and blue color scheme add an Americana effect to it. The pointelle stitching and scalloped trim also keep it girly. Red & White Polka Dot Midi Dress We’ve talked a lot about stars and stripes, but polka dots are just as good a print to wear on the Fourth of July, especially in a red and white color scheme. They have a retro feel that brings to mind American mid-century fashion, and this strapless midi dress is as cute as it gets. It has a soft mesh fabrication with a front slit and lettuce-edge hem, adding to its appeal. Its pull-on style means that you can throw this on and look instantly put-together, which is a win, especially on a busy summer holiday! What do you think of our 4th of July outfit guide?

Expert Guide to Buying Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

Soft clothes for babies between the ages of 0 and 24 months are among the most thoughtful gifts you may select. Any person who has held a baby knows how delicate the skin is. Appropriate clothing keeps your child comfortable and secure throughout the day and also looks charming. 

Having spent years assisting parents in clothing their babies, I am glad to give you some practical tips to make life easier. This guide is meant to ease and maybe even make fun; going through the bags of baby clothing can never really be a drag, be it for an inexperienced parent, purchasing for a friend, or just out of curiosity. 

Why Choosing Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M Matters

Babies' skin is sensitive. It can be easily agitated, rash, and uncomfortable because it is thinner and more sensitive than an adult's. Soft baby clothes in the 0–24M range keep them warm and shield their sensitive skins without causing them to feel congested or sweaty. 

An example is my cousin's baby girl, Emma. When she was born, her parents bought clothes that looked cute but felt rough to the touch. Emma's skin got irritated, and she was very much fussy for most days. From the moment they switched to softer fabrics, she became more at ease, started sleeping better, and looked so much happier. This real-life experience goes to show how vital fabric choice really can be.

What Makes Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M “Soft”?

The type of fabric and manufacturing process are typically what determine how soft a baby's clothing is. Some common materials used to make soft baby clothes for ages 0 to 24 months are as follows:

The most common option is cotton. It is mild on the skin, breathable, and natural. Because organic cotton is grown without harsh chemicals, it is even better.

Bamboo: Naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, bamboo fabric has a smooth texture.

Modal: Soft and smooth, modal is ideal for sensitive skin because it is made from beech tree pulp..

Fleece: Soft fleece keeps infants warm during the winter months without causing skin irritation.

Texture and weave are also crucial. Clothing with a loose knit or brushed finish is usually softer and more comfortable.

Practical Tips for Buying Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

1. Give comfort and breathability top priority.

Since babies cannot tell if they are hot or itchy, clothes for babies, 0 to 24 months, should be thin enough to allow air to circulate and keep the baby warm but at the same time comfortable. Use light cotton or bamboo in summer and layer in winter with thicker cotton or soft fleece.

Go for any clothes that are labeled as breathable or moisture-wicking. This kind of fabric lets perspiration evaporate, and thus the possibility of heat rash is lessened.

2. Examine the seams and tags.

Seams and tags may irritate skin. Select clothing with labels printed on the fabric or without tags. Chafing is less likely with soft baby clothes for ages 0 to 24 that have seamless designs or flat seams.

When my nephew was about six months old, I recall that the tag in his onesie

3. Stay away from harsh chemicals and dyes

The strong chemicals used to dye some infant garments might damage delicate skin. Natural and organic coloring is far safer. 

4. Pick Easy-to-Take-Off and Put-On Clothing

Parents should also find soft baby outfits for ages 0 to 24 months useful. Designs with broad necks, snap buttons, or zippers make clothing babies easier and faster because they wriggle and fuss. Particularly well-liked are onesies and rompers with snaps at the bottom.

5. Take Size and Growth Into Account

Babies develop quickly; in a matter of weeks, they may outgrow their clothing. The ideal fit for soft baby garments for ages 0 to 24 months is neither too tight to limit movement nor too loose to be uncomfortable. 

6. Clean Before Using

New infant garments should always be washed before being put on. This further softens the fabric and gets rid of any remaining chemicals from the production process. Use baby detergents that are mild and fragrance-free.

Where to Find Quality Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

Numerous businesses focus on soft baby clothing for infants aged 0 to 24 months. Roand Fern is one brand that I frequently suggest. They are popular with parents who desire comfort and style because of their emphasis on natural fibers and delicate designs.

Products from Roand Fern are available online and at a few stores. They provide a variety of necessities, such as comfortable pajamas and daywear that is ideal for sensitive skin. You can make sure your child is getting the finest by supporting companies that put an emphasis on using products that are safe for infants.

Real-Life Examples: What Worked for Other Parents

All of the options overwhelmed my friend Lisa after she delivered her kid. She tried a few different kinds before deciding on soft cotton rompers with snap buttons, which are ideal for changing diapers quickly. She also had a supply of bamboo swaddle blankets on hand, which she used to calm her infant while he slept.

In the cold, Sarah, another mother, swears by wearing cotton onesies underneath cozy fleece jackets. Without becoming irritable or grumpy, her daughter remained content and warm.

These illustrations demonstrate how choosing the appropriate soft baby clothes for ages 0 to 24 months can significantly impact day-to-day living.

Caring for Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

To keep baby clothes soft and safe:

Avoid using strong chemicals and instead use gentle detergents.

Use a mild cycle to wash your clothing inside out.

Steer clear of fabric softeners as they might cause skin irritation and decrease the absorbency of the cloth.

Tumble dry on low heat or let air dry if you can.

Keep clothing in a dry, clean location.

These small steps help preserve softness and protect your baby’s skin.

How Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M Help with Baby’s Sleep

Comfortable clothes can play a big part in helping babies sleep well. If a baby is itchy or overheated, they’re more likely to wake up or be fussy. Soft, breathable clothes keep babies relaxed and cozy, encouraging longer, more peaceful naps.

For instance, when my niece's parents switched from rough cotton to bamboo pajamas, they noticed that she slept better. Everyone's nights became easier when she stopped waking up so frequently.

The Importance of Safety in Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

When picking out baby clothes, safety is crucial. Steer clear of any loose buttons, ribbons, or other decorations that could come loose and cause choking hazards. 

When purchasing pajamas, look for fabrics that are resistant to flames. Certain brands apply safe flame retardants to textiles, but always read product labels and information.

Final Thoughts on Soft Baby Clothes for 0–24M

Soft baby clothes for 0–24M should always be chosen with comfort, safety, and usefulness in mind. It all comes down to making sure your child is comfortable, safe, and stylish in materials that are kind to their skin. Focus on soft materials with well-considered designs, whether you choose cotton, bamboo, or modal. Companies such as Roand Fern can serve as a useful resource for locating reliable choices.
