Where do you shop for your clothes? Are there any particular brands you look out for?

OH SO- this is kinda gonna be a frustrating answer.

i shop almost exclusively at this re-sale/second chance/excess store that puts together the unsold clothing from places like free-people and anthropology and the indy brands that they carry. It's INCREDIBLY local to my stretch of the woods- it's called retail 101 in naugatuck connecticut. i got a 350$ dress new with tags for 30$ and that was the most expensive clothing item listed in the store. it's definitely worthwhile to make the drive. it's about an hour for me, at least two if you're in nyc.

shopping there helps me feel better about getting clothes- because they're generally a lot bit better quality than like h and m or primark (which is what i can reasonably afford). it's also not directly supporting like- all those big businesses and keeps unsold clothes out of the landfill ect. It's helped me get some very very nice clothing for very cheap. it's a very overstimulating experience because it's basically just a football field sized warehouse filled with clothing.

i greatly recommend it if you're overly small or overly large because their greatest selection is in the Xs and Xl range like- I think i saw a size 14 jeans that were originally 400$ on sale for 14$ so- if you're more middle sized it definitely requires some hunting.

but tbh i also hit up the target clearance section for most of my jeans because they have really reasonable sales. i got my favorite pair of ripped jeans there for 6.50$. Target just for some reason happens to fit me pretty reliably- which is honestly rare because i have a 28 inch waist but a 40 inch booty.

#i love clothes and shopping because when i was a kid i never got new or nice things. #like we were a one new pair of shoes a year household #and i got like maybe 4 outfits at a time because that was all we could afford #and even then they were holey and didn't fit me right. #I give myself a budget cuz i know i spend too much on clothing generally #but it's very healing for me to express myself that way #because when i was growing up and until i was in college really- expressing myself that way wasn't really an option. #not to mention the other aspect of my life and needing to be able to run in whatever i was wearing #this is not new holly lore but old holly lore but yeah #being stalked really does do a number on you #its funny because as a result i sort of hate sneakers now like #this is just a me issue but i had to wear sneakers for safety every day #littterally every day #just incase my stalker was following me wherever i was and i needed to run #he hasn't chased me like that since like- the first week of the pandemic so <3 #healing is still happening and i don't wear sneakers anymore #wouldn't be caught dead in em' #not that i haven't tried to get back into liking them and wearing them because some of them are comfortable

Cursed to be born at just the right time in history to have to come up with bullshit forum posts/responses in an online classroom every week

#they started this shit during the pandemic and i hate it so much i can't even express

[i-still-mask-because]

i still mask because, alongside protecting the immunocompromised, it makes breathing in lots of dry and/or cold air wayyy less irritating on the sinuses. also i like not having to actively express with the lower half of my face, i am a joyous fellow but not naturally very expressive

😷

#felt all of this!!! #it's been really nice not being commented on my facial expression not being chirpy enough for others #and it's been great for my nose in harsh weather seasons! #there's so many perks to masking! #thank you for sharing 😷💛 #i still mask because #covid isn't over #covid is airborne #covid pandemic #covid awareness #covid #ask queue

totally normal thing to say about a bisexual women being mildly annoying /s

#this is why i cant even trust any of yall complaining about bi women being annoying!!! #half the time yall just see it as an 'acceptable' way to express your hatred for bisexuality!!! #this 'joke' is literally just. we need a pandemic to kill bisexual women

i hate how i have to pretend like the pandemic didnt affect me very deeply on an academic level. like i have to keep pretending that ive moved on from that hellish semester where i was stuck home w my parents 24/7 while trying (and failing) to study. and now im stuck w the consequences of my own (in)actions but i cant talk about it w anyone bc theyll just wave me off saying that its been what. 4 years? so i should just try to get over it. when it has affected my grades and my ability to concentrate and my motivation and just overall my academic passion/endeavor/motivations beyond recognition of what they were before

#but yeah im stuck in the past or whatever #the two classes i still have left over from my first yr bring me horrible flashbacks to the pandemic every time i try to study for them #and maybe im exaggerating or im not getting to the actual root of the issue but. i just dont know how else to express how i feel #xarraire

everything feels like it's falling apart,,

#☕️ | chatter #chise go to BEEEEEDDDDDD #hhhhhh i'm just #ive been thinkingnabout how i speak sometime s #and imnsorry ifni ever made anyone uncomfortable because i can get pretty sarcastic #sometimes?? maybe #i dont knwo #im sleepy...goodnight to people ? #ior good morning! idk #ior...iori...oh my god i forgot about iori my little guy my silly oc #i need to redesign him.... #funny how i was unapologetically the most sarcasting little shit in junior high and then completely lost the sass in shs because of the fuck #ing pandemic man. i wanna be a little shit again #or not...i may have been roasting the class pres and he sent me to help clean woth the library when the tracher asked of someone was naughty #is naughty even the right wordi cant remember fuck i hate language barriers and words fhat can never truly be expressed #like?? to fully understand something in another language translating it isnt enough you need to #actually learn the langauge #because the contecnt and context and everything is just..lost #some words are not translated correctly to what it actually means andit frustrates me #gods punishment for the tower of babel isnsntupid iland i hate him for it #also like ive been asking people if jesus had a choice in becoming sacrifice and my granma said no and shes religous so nowni feel bad for #him bevaus ehe had no choice ornsomething idunno im itred #gnnfor reals #im sory agaij im just #i dontnknkw whay im supposed to be doing #taling with new people are jard so im so sordh #if i sound weird #im not very good at speaking with new people

kinda miss cosplay photography, pretentiously editing gposes on the morning commute is the next best thing rly.

#not that i was ever that good at photography OR editing but i had fun learning #hope i can manage to get back into it at some point (motivation to do anything who?) #i got hooked on this game bc it filled/fills the cosplay void during (ongoing) pandemic times #personal #rambling in the tags again #gpose #ffxiv screenshots #photoshop express

I was in music class a couple days ago. Near the end of the period our teacher started playing a song, a very particular song at that. It was Gymnopédie. The default song for the Pandemic Express radio.

When I heard that, I got legitimately got flashbacks of waiting patiently in the station, listening to the peaceful song.

Oh, how the song represents fleeting beauty and age. Pandemic Express is not an old game, but It was a fleeting masterpiece.

How i miss it so much, Tinybuild, you did this. You should've put more effort into it.

btw, i'm sure i'm the last neurodivergent person to have figured this out, but -- i finally got headphones with a noise-cancellation setting, and oh my god, the white noise present even in a mostly silent office space is So Obvious when i turn off the noise-cancellation at the end of a day. how in Hell did i think this wasn't triggering my sensory shit day in and day out? my focus is still not great b/c adhd brain, but it's just that little bit easier to convince my brain to settle down for longer points in time now that the a/c and hushed chatter and others' mouse-clicking and random clacky footsteps and various maintenance noises and the elevator around the corner etc etc etc

adhd tip: maybe you can focus the slightest bit more & not wanna strangle everyone in sight by the end of the day if you aren't subconsciously tuned into every slight noise at all times :)

#also i learned early in the pandemic that my masks help mute most scents :) bc if smells are too strong i also get distracted and mad #i think y'all see me mostly expressing joy and kindness and insisting on being as kind and empathetic that i can be #but i am genuinely often low grade annoyed and holding it together with mindfulness techniques #Anyway lol the blogger is filled with neuroses and is neurodivergent and still learning new coping mechanisms constantly #aily talks #not hockey

I FEEL BETTER AGAIN

#🌙.rambles #the way i often feel better after perdev class really makes me realize that. yk literally /hearing/ it rlly comforts me a lot ;; #n yh i remembered smth again earlier #oh man i'm really grateful for the kindness of strangers #online friends were once strangers you've never known #irl ppl too but there's smth so special abt. in online there's no obligation at all to reach out or interact. but we still choose to #a lot of times it's not really /that/ deep but the thought of it is comforting when you feel alone #somewhere out there. even if you don't communicate directly w words... we understand each other in a way yeah? #there's smth especially comforting to me rn abt the kindness of someone you're not /v/ close with #but you still understand each other. maybe even deeper than w those irl #since honestly i can't rlly bring myself to vent or rant or ramble to my irls anymore ;;; #so there's this certain special gratitude n appreciation i have for ppl who know me online. esp on tumblr bcs i talk here a lot #that said though... there's smth as comforting as well abt #honestly i'm really big on those 5 love languages. so w irls there's physical touch that i love & #words of affirmation expressed through voice. those two stuff r esp special to me thanks to the distance put by the pandemic #even if i'm not rlly speaking voices give me a lot of comfort. which is one reason why music is so special to me. melodies n/or lyrics #somewhere out there. there's someone thinking abt people /like/ you #the specificness of being close w someone tho n understanding in depth after building a connection tho #all of our friends were once strangers. n thinking abt all that is v beautiful but. oh yh. i've been distant again from my reality;; #a few months ago i felt like i was talking too much so i ended up disconnecting ;;; ever since that active thought #i've been initiating stuff less n less. subconsciously. #problem tho is that when i'm sad i actively distance myself even further n that's so destructive but i wna get better again #i really wonder tho. there's sm distance n misunderstandings that can arise out of ignorance n disparity in perspectives #combining who we are n our personas n identities across platforms. irl. different social media. if we're not careful n self-aware then #the way we carry ourselves n how ppl perceive n relate n approach us wld change drastically. #best not to think /too/ much abt that tho bcs that cld be draining. T_T i care a lot at heart so im worried that i've been too distant #it's so hard to reach out but i wish i cld just clarify w all the ppl in my life that i still really really care. i'm just struggling TvT #in time in time. i need to just do what i can in a given moment. and it'll be enough for myself. n i'll keep on improving n i'll get better #thinking abt everyone i've ever known rlly comforts me. i'll improve my health so that hopefully i cld enjoy that company n be myself again #it's hard dealing w the constancy of the pain but i don't have to fall to that ache all the time. slowly is enough. i can be kind to me too

#starting every workday by watching 5-10 minutes of Dune 2021 #as a reward for waking up & an encouragement to start the day even tho its early #it's day 4 of this & I'm up to the gom jabbar scene #I heard that the director had Big Opinions about how the only and correct way to watch the movie was like #on imax and with other ppl or something #so that kind of got me curious like. what's the worst/best way to watch this movie #I watched it in theaters twice when it came out & I think one of the most impactful things about the experience was the *scarcity* #like in a world of instant gratification entertainment and screens... you have to pay money to go to the special place to get this one #and it was so regal and commanding and dramatic! and all of that lived at the special place you couldn't access casually #(after a few years of pandemic a movie theater becomes just a little strange and new) #I got the dvd a few months ago but never had time to watch it #so it never really got to become 'ordinary' yet #and now I've created an artificial scarcity with rules #the special place where the movie lives is in the morning before work (an otherwise hostile and unfriendly location in space & time) #Denis I loved your art. I loved it & I am eating it. #a sincere yet contrarian expression of respect
