i love this secondhand abercrombie cardigan of mine bc the sleeves and pockets are perfect. the original sparkly buttons were super loose though and two got lost. there was no way i was getting rid of it but i refused to buy a whole pack of new buttons just to match the old ones so i looked in my button archive and picked two random ones for a trinket moment. it has even more character now <3 (ignore the cat hair pls)
I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit. I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.
for a while, when I wanted something expensive, I would think to myself, "oh, let me just look for a cheaper version of it." I end up settling for something that isn't good in any of the ways that made me want the expensive version. Throw that out. You can get fantastic pieces for cheap, you can thrift a wardrobe you love, but if you're trying to find a cheap copy of something expensive, it's not going to work.
