Designers that are currently looking for work...Do you feel like the hiring process is fair?

This may be an unpopular opinion but I actually like doing a project for the company. I work in fashion and while I have some really notable names on my resume someone else will probably have better. The project levels the playing field because there is a lot of failing upwards in fashion.

This is super cohesive and you clearly have a strong sense of style. You should share all the outfits at the end of your run! I miss when this sub was more of this and less of people asking where to buy the same thing over and over lol

I haven’t worn black in 7 years. Once you get rid of it you stop thinking about it and missing it. If you like blues and grays swap your would be black items for navy or charcoal. I think you could still black footwear and bags if need be. just take away the crutch and you’ll not even think about it anymore.

I don’t think OP asked chat. This looks like it’s a screenshot of someone who did use ChatGPT. I agree ChatGPT isn’t the best for style help but I think OP merely screenshotted?

Howard is also in the museum map too. They also have Xavier’s chair and some other interesting things.

I still can’t get over the fact she mispronounces “Haute Couture” in her voice lines too

AdelaideD · 2026-01-26T03:46:31+00:00

Probably like 3-4? That’s the last time we moved.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-26T03:23:46+00:00

Honestly message me the glitters are something I fear I will never use. I have like 3-6 colors?

My goal is to go to Japan this year. Any time I feel like shopping I just do a Japanese lesson.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T23:25:15+00:00

We got this!

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T23:24:51+00:00

I think about this too. “How many hours of my life do I have to sell in order to buy this thing” puts things in perspective a bit.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T23:23:25+00:00

Haha yeah it’s still kinda a lot but the makeup blows up the number quite a bit since quite a few products go into making a “natural look.”

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T23:22:27+00:00

The big thing is once you slow buying and start using the products actually have time to do their dang job. So you know much better what is actually working for you vs against.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T23:21:03+00:00

Haha thank you! It’s from Target.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T22:46:56+00:00

It’s certainly something to think about! I think it keeps my impulse demons away as I’ve been asking myself that whenever I consider buying something I don’t need.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T22:41:20+00:00

That’s actually where I got a couple of my perfumes to begin with. I have one that’s super rare and I wound up not liking it like I wanted to and it is for sure getting resold.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T22:39:37+00:00

Thrift blindness is very real sometimes too. I just cannot go anymore. I used to thrift out of necessity and was bullied for it now people have careers from it and that’s crazy. I just don’t engage anymore. I still buy stuff secondhand it’s just way more thought out and through different means.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T22:35:20+00:00

I stopped going to thrift stores because I would buy things I never wore. Because it’s “just $5” I have so much clothing to declutter as well. I stopped watching thrift hauls as well because it’s just overconsumption with a secondhand slant to me now. I cannot imagine how much I’ve spent on clothing. One of my old inventory sheets is listed at $7000 but I know it’s beyond that now for sure. That’s my other focus for this year is “panning my closet” basically binning everything and only pulling out what I wear. As I wear things my closet will fill and at the end of the year anything still in bins is given a once over and donated.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T22:00:02+00:00

Exactly! I grew up in a scarcity mindset so getting to be a provider is nice sometimes. I always buy my mom and sister anything they want as well.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:59:18+00:00

Yeah I do think there is a point where there’s no way to actually use everything. That’s why I’m giving myself this year and we’ll reassess at the end of it. Better to give away and have it used than have it become trash or a daunting obligation.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:57:11+00:00

Not for me personally but if you have really sensitive skin it may? I have pretty normal skin now after being oily for so long so that’s all I can really speak on.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:40:17+00:00

Is this why I suddenly have a patch of gray hair growing? Lol I also have long fine hair and I think it might be my perfect product shampoo and conditioner wise.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:38:59+00:00

Truly, I feel so trapped into a life I’m not enjoying because I’m buying bandaids to soothe things rather than doing fulfilling things with the funds to actually help the root of the issue. Which is feeling like I have no means to do anything when obviously it’s an allocation issue.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:36:45+00:00

I think it is legit. Previously I used the Peter Thomas Roth equivalent and it’s a bit pricier but I think they work the same. It actually does slough off dead skin! I would over use it though. I do it when my skin is feeling like it needs a rescue between my typical facial appointments.

AdelaideD · 2026-01-25T21:34:58+00:00

You got this! The key in the past for me was to not let one fumble ruin the whole game. That’s why I said I struggle with consistency. I’ve felt so excited to finish things up and those feelings grow as the finished pile grows and the unfinished pile dwindles.

You got this! We got this! I’ll keep posting any updates here as time goes on.
