    thrift stores, discount racks, and nordstrom’s discount store is where i find interesting fabrics that no one else is buying.

    Pros: you find interesting fabrics
    Cons: you might end up dressing like me

    make of that what you will

      lol. dunno what nordstrom is, but yes. I found many cool stuff in 2nd-hand-stores. But there the same pattern applies btw. 97% women, 2% men, 1% whatever :) Though i often try to not shop there, as I feel kinda bad buying things others would need more.

        Nordstrom is a rich people mall store in statesia. If you live in the states and have larger than DD cups, you probably have to shop there for bras if you don’t buy online. I like their fabrics but cannot afford them. They have a discount store that sometimes has decent prices called the rack

          Neither live in the US nor shop for bras. As a male, this is kinda boring except for gifting :-) But I’d bet there are equally good bras elsewhere for decent bucks. Quality sure comes at a price, but it doesn’t have to be expensive.

              That’s a lot for a silly jacket. I’m a very cheap cheapskate and this would be a big nono. But if quality is equal to the price then maybe…if one has it to spent…though I would prefer to invest 650 and get one for 50 😁

                It was really pretty. I have been looking for one its equal for, uh, ten years or so. Maybe longer I can’t remember I’m very grumpy I haven’t found it in a thrift store yet.

                  Understandably. If one finally finds “the one thing” and then can’t have it and never finds something like that again is…frustrating 😁

                    I even have photographs of the label and everything. Papa taught all us shitheads how to document. Also to get receipts everywhere you go, but do jack shit with them (makes you look like a businessman)
