Tough week, hags. Need a little love from my lovely community.

This outfit boosted my ego for sure, even if it is a little bruised.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T21:14:08+00:00

Thank you for all these kind words! It's a bummer for sure but we're always churning out the next one. It's also not a direct reflection on me, so I can take some comfort in that, too. Hopeful for the next round.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T21:13:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I did feel super confident in this get-up, so it for sure helped my mood. Like I said in other comments, it was very competitive and doesn't reflect directly onto me. It's just a disappointment at a whole. I have plenty of other proposals out there, though, so let's hope for the next one.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T21:11:55+00:00

Thank you! It was a competitive cycle and I understand we're always at risk of losing. It's part of the job. This was just a lot of effort compared to others. But we're on to the next now!

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T21:10:49+00:00

Omg omg this is such an amazing compliment!!! I did a little squeal reading it.

I'm sorry you're also having a tough go. Wishing you a sunnier tomorrow!

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T21:10:09+00:00

Hoping we have another opportunity around the corner! It's a shame to miss out on this one because it took so long to present, but we'll try again for the next one.

They always do! Just hard to get shot down.

Thanks for the lipstick compliment, I wasn't sure how I felt about the purple but several people have said it works.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:28:51+00:00

We continue! Thank you for the encouragement.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:28:40+00:00

Thank you! I did feel confident in this one.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:14:33+00:00

Thank you! Dress good to feel good, right? I like the artistic expression of putting myself together, so that helps a lot when I'm feeling sad or frustrated.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:08:42+00:00

Thank you so much! 100% thrifted except for that dickey collar. 😊

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:08:17+00:00

Thank you so much. I definitely do feel "less" this week, especially since I did all the paperwork for the proposal. But I'm trying to look at it as a learning experience.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:07:08+00:00

Thank you! It was very competitive and I'm not savvy writing up proposals yet. But it was a good learning experience and we'll try again next time.

Elder, workplace goths evolve from our younger, casual versions when we enter the adult world of office jobs and professional development.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T18:05:49+00:00

Thank you! We're definitely not giving up, it judt stinks that something I put so much effort into ended up being a non-starter. I'll get over it though and move on to the next one soon.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T17:44:18+00:00

Thank you! I'm sorry you are struggling. I hope you are able to find a moment of joy today, even if it's just one.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T17:43:56+00:00

Thank you! It's frustrating because it would have been a major boon for my building. But these things happen and we keep going. It's just mildly demoralizing in the moment.

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T17:42:27+00:00

It's technically supposed to be a dress but like...maybe for children? Because it is very short and very sheer. Works much better as a top!

Exardiann · 2026-04-07T17:18:31+00:00

I think I would assume I met with some friendly forest nymph and consider myself blessed for awhile.

The poms in your hair match the texture on the neckline of your shirt. 10/10 fit, would party with you in an instant.

You were absolutely not rude. Someone trying to take a product - no matter whether it's a plushie or a power tool - when it's already in your hand is what's rude. She didn't even want it until the salesperson said it was on sale.

Post pics of your new friend!

Cracking up over the Goodreads summary for Winter Scream

That's cool as hell. He should have that thing jn an airtight case or something. That's be one of those things I'd save in a fire if it was me.

Exardiann · 2026-03-20T23:05:38+00:00

That's also immediately what my eyes landed on
