In a world of mass consumption and fast fashion, upon researching some pretty niche designers, there is a subsect of artisanal fashion designers that make clothes that look like they are from the 1800's. Fully hand made, its awesome. Check out the link for a spreadhseet on all these designers. It took me forever to make lol

When I was a wee twiggy girl approximately aged 16-23 I would just buy whatever I could find at thrift stores that was especially weird or interesting and didn’t have to think about what it looked like because I could just slap things together and look cute and quirky. As I’ve aged I’ve developed a gourmand tendency towards indulgence and, consequently, a figure a little more like Marilyn Monroe (not in the way a lot of women say it—no offense and bless them for living their truth—I’m speaking objectively) so my focus is like purely on finding clothes that fit me structurally that have very particular shapes silhouettes and details. I’m also careful about finding clothes that fit within an autumnal color palette to suit my complexion. I generally won’t buy clothes if they’re not made of natural fibers and if I’m thrift shopping or on poshmark I keep an eye out for pieces from designers I love. I look for things that fit with my well loved staple items and only buy something if I really love it because I don’t like to have a lot of stuff anymore. I love lush textures and fabrics for winter like velvet and fur

I have thought about this at length, I fear.
I want to look and feel at ease in my clothes and I shop for clothing very intentionally. For me the rules of outfits are:
- No single-designer looks
- Steam/press rarely
- No logos (sneakers are the exception)
- Always wear at least 1 garment with visible wear or damage
- Get dressed intentionally every day
- It does not matter how conventionally flattering the look is. I care only about how it makes me feel in my body
- Never clean Ur (my) shoes except to keep leather in condition
I shop almost exclusively second hand and in person—I only buy if I would be heartbroken to come back for a garment to find it had passed me by forever. Most pieces I see are effectively one-offs because I treat them this way.
I am attracted to Japanese workwear silhouettes, modular garments, and drama. “My” colour is the shade precisely between yellow and orange. All my jewelry is gifted. I aim to keep garments until the end of their lives.

I grew up following harajuku style on the internet through the late 2000s and 2010 and many japanese fashion magazines were a big inspiration such as Fruits, Kera and the Gothic & Lolita Bible. Fruits was especially relevant and they used to host their full archive online, though the website is not up anymore, some editions -not only fruits but many other magazines- can still be found on archive.org and even on instagram pages.
On a more personal notes, a lot of my clothing pieces are hand me downs from my mom, aunts and cousins, and it got me into the habit of looking through their old photos and questioning if they still have a piece that I liked, and a lot of the times they do and give them to me. You can get some pretty unique pieces like this and also induces your brain to obsereve fashion in unexpected places and be creative with limited pieces.

Truly an elite date. If the date goes well, you can spend the rest of the day with the person. If it goes poorly, you can leave and have the rest of the day for yourself. Also it kinda shows you have your life put together lol

If the resturant has an A, theyre clearly spending more time cleaning than making good food.
