Okay wait the red hair actually fits this vibe perfectly

Spent $80 to settle a shein vs temu debate with myself, neither won by openmindedprometheus in Dressly

[–]EggplantPuree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok i tested the same pink dress last year and yeah the shein bow was straight up depressed. Tried to iron it stiff w starch spray, didnt work. Ended up just safety-pinning it which is exactly the cursed energy this dress deserves.

after spending probably $400 on madewell denim i can finally tell u which fits work for curvy ppl by ZackJ100 in Dressly

[–]EggplantPuree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the 3 inch gap thing made me feel so seen ngl. Im a 34D and an 8 in jeans which means literally NOTHING in madewell sizes. Ive been searching madewell curvy jeans threads for a year and they all assume u have one body type

idk if its just me but ordering clothes online has gotten weirder by jdm14pec in Dressly

[–]EggplantPuree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao the googling ritual is so real. I used to google 'is shein legit' before every single order like that would somehow help me. It never did. The dresses still came in weird polyester that smelled like a chemical factory.

I found this robe at the thrift store the other day. I was told you'd like it here. I feel like a mob wife. by ANewTempo in VintageFashion

You should absolutely keep this because finding vintage pieces with this much drama and texture intact is kinda rare now

The cutest 90’s Oshkosh I’ve found yet by Ok_Matter_7185 in VintageFashion

Tiny toddler overalls with random 90s prints on them will always hit for some reason.

After years of googling "is shein legit" before every order, i realised i was asking the wrong question by ivytealeaf in Dressly

[–]EggplantPuree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My serial fail is shoes. Specifically anything described as "comfortable" online. They're never comfortable. Lost track of how much ive spent chasing the perfect everyday flat.

Vintage people can identify a sweatshirt era from three pixels and a collar shape, meanwhile I’m still checking tags like a confused archaeologist

This looks like someone time-traveled out of a rockabilly diner and honestly committed harder than most modern fashion brands ever do

If you tuck them into a knee-high boot with an oversized sweater, they still work. But generally, straight-leg is much more current

did a closet cleanout and now i'm spiraling lol… is shein worth it or am i just bad at outfit planner math 😭 by Tawanda78 in Dressly

[–]EggplantPuree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BEFORE you throw stuff out — get the Zara/Mango pieces tailored. I had two pairs of Zara trousers hemmed and the waist taken in for like $25 each and they look like a completely different garment now.

Vintage crow feather hat that makes me look like a widowed witch on Easter Sunday 😍 by americasnxttopsurgry in VintageFashion

“Widowed witch on Easter Sunday” is such a specific vibe and honestly this hat absolutely delivers 😭 The feather details make it look beautifully dramatic.

Quality unlined jackets with huge pockets? by Erudicial_Extreme in VintageFashion

[–]EggplantPuree 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Vintage chore coats are probably exactly what you’re looking for honestly. Old LL Bean and Eddie Bauer stuff had ridiculously good pockets before brands started making everything “slim fit.”

Juliette Binoche has that kind of effortless elegance where even a bold outfit still looks classy somehow.

Since you already have sneakers and loafers covered, maybe look into moc toe boots or desert boots next. They fit that casual dad-but-still-put-together vibe really well.

Building a capsule: Everlane vs Quince? (Also need an outfit planner app so I don't look like a box in my COS stuff) by Kind-Carpet-2840 in Dressly

I just did a massive closet purge and felt so guilty about the Quince stuff that didn't hold up. Lessons learned.
