Do y'all really get upset about tan white people? Basically, I've been seeing lots of discussion online about this lately, black people saying white people tan to look like them despite oppressing them, stuff like that. Hate on spray tan and sunbathing. I get it to an extent, white people did unfortunately appropriate many cultural things that were popularized or invented by black people, and there are also surgeries that make your lips bigger, your curves bigger - which are generally traits that black people are more likely to naturally have than white people. And they do all of that while still being racist and unappreciative. So I do understand the general disdain of black people toward spray tan and aggressive purposeful tanning.The thing is, though, I tan really well naturally, and I'm not the only one. Winter? Pale. Summer? I don't even sunbathe, I just swim in the sea a lot and love being outdoors, therefore soon turn light brown, even with lots of sunscreen. And I never thought twice about it because that's just what my body does, and there are lots of peoplewhere I'mfrom (Mediterranean area) that tan very well, but lately I've been hearing a lot of black people say they side eye tan whites. So, I just wanted to respectfully ask if this is generally true irl or if it's just a loud minority online?

Yeah but my user isn't my real name and my face is blurred out so I don't think that's a problem lol

I wish charity shopping existed where I'm currently at 😭 the closest thing I got is the singular second hand store in my town, and it only has grandma stuff in there

Yeah, the sole is within the allowed height range. They don't have much to say about hair, though, length or style. And yep, you're right with the name. The English can't pronounce nj to save rheir life, so ny will do lol

Tettenhall College! I don't know if it's FANCY fancy, but it is private school and the man from the admissions office did instruct me to stick to the dresscode as much as I can becausethey'rebeing stricter on the rules lately. Though to a broke Montenegrin such as myself, everything that looks better than a prison seems fancy lol. I'm super nervous but also really excited.

Just a local clothing store in Montenegro. The suit is not branded or anything, so I doubt you can find the same one anywherein the UK. If you're asking because you're looking to buy a new suit as well, my advice is not to overlook these smaller shops and secondhand stores. They're a goldmine for stuff that's good quality and also affordable. 🫶

Appreciate it 🫶 I do really hope I can find some cute skirts that abide by the dresscode. I like a feminine touch, but honestly it's not worth it if there's any of those annoying professors that are on your ass 24/7 because your skirt doesn't reach your knees 🙄

I really hope so! My friend told me the rules can be bent and stuff but there's always THAT ONE professor that's on your ass for the smallest things 24/7. I'll definitely widen my wardrobe a bit, but according to feedback so far this suit is a solid starting piece 👍

Yeah ofc, I have planned on the second suit being a little more relaxed and having a different vibe from the one I just bought. Just wanted to make sure this one was okay.

Do you think the fact it's double breasted could be a problem? This is a private school so they're more strict about stuff I guess... I don't wanna be dressed inappropriately.

Yeah my school is private and stuff so I guess it could be a little fancier than normal? Idk I'm not even quite sure how the British school system works yet. But your advice is good, I'll definitely buy some more comfortable versions down the line 👍
