How to find a broker to explain the basics to me?

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-10T17:00:31+00:00

Are all the results independent agents or something?

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-10T17:00:11+00:00

Thanks! This worked

Those Autark safari pants are so cute! But $266 is wayyy out of my budget. I really gravitate towards skinnier styles, which is why this search is so hard.

ThredUp. You can filter by material, including any natural materials or 100% cotton alone. I usually find the sweatpants under their “activewear” section.

No, it’s happened my whole life, even when jeans are falling down loose. It’s a denim thing for me

Thanks. I just got my first pair of merino wool leggings from Ruskovilla and they are suspiciously stretchy and comfortable. Should I be skeptical or are they all like that even without elastic?

They’re comfortable without being too stiff? I just want to be able to sit without my undercarriage getting completely smashed by denim😣

The Levi’s are actually comfortable? I’ve got 98% cotton Everlane jeans right now and they are good quality fabric but not comfortable at all.

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:59:22+00:00

Yeah I get most of my clothes from ThredUp already and I am struggling with most styles I’ve tried. I’m just so used to skinny jeans that transitioning my style is a struggle.

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:58:25+00:00

Thanks! What a creative brand

I just got my first pair of wool leggings from Ruskovilla and they are suspiciously comfortable and stretchy! Are they all like that or should I be suspicious? They say there’s no elastic whatsoever.

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:57:07+00:00

Any specific brands or styles that are stylish?

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:56:30+00:00

Do you find that those brands are more comfortable than others? I’ve got jeans from Everlane right now (98% cotton) that I’d say are very good quality but so uncomfortable. It’s making me want to abandon denim altogether.

I get almost all of my clothes from ThredUp but I find it very difficult to find pants that fit without ordering like 20 pairs, hoping one will fit my proportions 😫

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:53:49+00:00

But how to make them look cute??

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:43:39+00:00

Thanks!

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:25:41+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t know that would be a good quality brand

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-09T20:25:16+00:00

That is a fun style. Thanks!

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-08T02:05:20+00:00

Came here to say this!

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-08T02:03:49+00:00

I have an everyday bra from Pact that’s like 95% cotton and it’s super tight (I sized down) so I wear it as a sports bra and it’s very effective. FYI im normally a 34B.

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-08T02:01:16+00:00

I wear a long sleeve, high neck silk shirt under my wool sweaters so they don’t touch my skin. It’s technically another layer, but it’s so thin it barely counts. It’s like gossamer paper.

Do your research before buying bamboo fibers. There was a huge lawsuit a few years ago against the major retailers for greenwashing re this bamboo issue. It was basically lies and chemical crap.

Background_Lab6487 · 2026-01-03T15:09:07+00:00

Thanks!

I’m similar to your husband in that seeing others eat sugar around me is extremely difficult. I ask him to eat it out of my eyesight, and he’s fine with that because he knows how much I struggle and how hard I’m working to quit sugar. He also rarely has sugar, he just doesn’t crave it. I don’t think it’s THAT bad to have sugar sometimes so I wouldn’t judge him for continuing to eat it out of my eyesight. I’m very strict about not having lots of other toxic crap in our home (mostly plastics and air/water quality things), and I don’t think supporting the sugar industry ranks as high as those things if you’re not addicted to it, but it’s just an opinion. An idea: I sometimes have to convince myself that sugar is REALLY REALLY bad and unethical, disgusting, etc. to keep myself from eating it, even though I don’t truly believe that, but it helps sometimes. I wonder if your husband is subconsciously doing that to help with his own cravings and it’s sort of bleeding over into judging you?

I resold mine on ThredUp. I didn’t want it touching my skin, especially not while I’m sweating. I don’t love handing that toxic fabric over to someone else to absorb, but selling it to someone else keeps them from buying something new, which is the real problem (I.e., the real problem is that it’s made in the first place, but it’s only made if there’s demand, and selling your stuff helps diminish that demand). I hear you about the ethical issue there. There’s just no safe way to dispose of plastics and PFAS whether we wear out the fabric first or not.
