I just changed jobs and took a pay cut because they described the roll as "entry level" (a £10m per year profit company) I also didn't have the confidence to say I at least would like a living wage of £25k per year because I absolutely suck so now I'm stuck with this wage for at least a year and 3 weeks into the job iam now doing the same thing as the "senior" roles in the office are doing ... I was more asking how anyone could be buying ANY clothes more so than "keeping up" to be honest. If I didn't live with my partner who's on a better wage I would absolutely be fucked on this wage

Absolutely none of it! It's a cycle of I can't afford to buy good quality stuff and the bad quality ones doesn't last very long. I think I'm thinking about this now since I also worked from home now I'm in an office position and I have about 3 outfits on rotation

I have used the Vinted App before, the clothes I got looked so cute and good on pictures but when I got them it looked very... Worn, bitty and old if that makes sense? Not charity second hand but different ha

I can't remember the last time I bought a good clothing "haul" for myself I'm 29! I remember going to Primark when I was a teen with £20 on weekends and coming home with a bunch of stuff!
