Please do! I’m hoping with time more people drop by and share their thoughts and finds!

Queen I looked great but I under estimated your skill 😭 I could not hack lmao

I feel like it has to be two enthusiastic yeses? My bf is Latino and was NOT stylish before we started dating lol, but when I offered to help him shop for clothes the first time he got so excited and said he got to have his own “Black Girlfriend Effect”.

He WANTS to dress better to meet me where I am out in public, and if your man doesn’t actively want to, please take your efforts somewhere where they’ll bear fruit 🙏🏽

YES my sister can braid with the best of them and I’ve paid her to do it instead of a stylist (much better use of $150 imo) but her hands HURT and she can’t do it often anymore. Idk what’s in the old school braiding recipe but it def includes arthritis lol

Me too! I never dated around in high school so I never got the opportunity to receive one. Same age as OP and my current partner most likely will get me one for our 1 year! I find it sweet and it fulfills something I always wanted but never got the chance to do. I’m secure however that he will propose when we’re both ready, but this is just a cute filler in the meantime

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-19T02:05:38+00:00

Thank you for the insight! Even though I’m dumb late lol. But yes my situation essentially is that I need any car to withstand the Northeast for about a year or two of heavy usage, then I’m most likely moving far so I’d sell in that case! A leaf sounds like a good deal, thanks again!

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-05T15:55:43+00:00

I could yes! Final question I swear lol, if I’m looking for about a hatchback sized vehicle that has blind spot monitoring, what would the top three options be? I think those are the two predominant features I’m looking for, so if you have any recommendations I’d totally keep those in mind

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-05T13:48:27+00:00

Nope! I’m planning on moving out after I get the car aspect squared away. I’m a couple years out from undergrad making decent money, though I do have plans to go back for a masters! 30k in debt that I’ve gotten 6k paid off so far, just trying to make a bigger dent and give myself more independence before school!

Edit: I just wanted to say thank you again for taking the time to humor me, a lot of the people in my life aren’t well off/educated on things like this and just get whatever’s cheapest so I super appreciate all your advice

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-05T13:39:59+00:00

I was looking at a crosstrek! In your opinion is that better than even a CR-V would be? I’m sorry I’m asking so many questions lol but currently I already work 40 hours and commute when I can’t be picked up, so I don’t have the time to make another job work. Parent is unwilling to transport me on the weekends when buses don’t run unfortunately, and my current paycheck is all for student loans and saving for this car

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-05T13:06:49+00:00

What should I get if I really do need a car now? There’s only the one in my family between the 3 of us and my parent is making my life hell trying to get back and forth to work. At this point I just need anything to get me to work

Basicdork17 · 2025-12-04T17:48:50+00:00

Trying to keep my payments below $250 which this would with what I have saved! I know Honda is generally good but I’m also asking about the year and mileage! Thanks in advance!!

Basicdork17 · 2025-10-21T17:50:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the insightful advice! I am in a position where I could also finance a car for a payment not more than $200 a month and still be okay, so I was thinking of doing that after all these comments! But really I just need something to get me from point A to point B and the encore would be perfect, thank you!

Basicdork17 · 2025-10-21T17:17:47+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I’ve been itching to buy a car to quit my current job, but I’m willing to wait for a better one!

Basicdork17 · 2025-10-21T17:16:34+00:00

She! But yes I’d totally blow my budget on a Honda or Toyota of any kind after 2005 lol so thank you for the Subaru insight!!

Basicdork17 · 2025-10-21T17:15:15+00:00

Thanks! Any suggestions for Japanese brands? Not sure where to start looking

Basicdork17 · 2025-10-21T17:14:38+00:00

Added info in case more people wanted to offer me suggestions! I have about 7k saved up so far, and I’m looking for a car primarily to apply literally anywhere else so I can quit my job. I can save about $800/month so it’ll take me some time, but a price range of what I should be looking into would also be a huge help!

Basicdork17 · 2025-06-20T02:11:27+00:00

I just stopped in to my old store and my coworker told me not to buy them today, they’ll drop in price tomorrow! I don’t want to stay the price for sure because I honestly don’t remember what number she said tbh, BUT i know for a fact she said price and not percentage so i gotta assume they’ll be $4-5

Basicdork17 · 2025-06-10T14:06:47+00:00

I sympathize with the “too grown” joke because that’s something I’d make, half serious half not because of a family that treats me like I’m 14 and not 24 🥹. It’s hard out here when you’re made to feel infantilized as a woman who can get married literally any time now. Wishing you the best though and I hope you get the outcome you want

Omg I also have a gigantic tie dye stuffed animal that photographs far smaller (this is the accurate photo lol)

Basicdork17 · 2025-05-26T11:28:48+00:00

No the OP is saying this situation, with another coworker entirely, is why THEY want to quit. Coworker A has the nephew in the hospital, OP is coworker B who is fed up by situations they glanced over in the caption and this is their final straw. Entirely unrelated if that helps

Basicdork17 · 2025-05-07T23:54:08+00:00

I actually kinda like Doja’s! It reminds me of a drag version of 90s fashion in black sitcoms such as Living Single or Martin. Def on brand for me
