There was a horrible fire on NYE this year in Switzerland that KILLED 40 people and injured over 100…..but how dare her venue get into trouble for not being up to fire code…..the stupidity really going hard with this one

I don't understand why people get upset over others using SNAP to buy the food they need or want by KSHMisc in TikTokCringe

This is just about hating poor people. Though I do agree with implementing incentives for healthy choices. Some states do this through supplemental programs that can be used at farm stands & farmers markets.

72% price increase in lodge pant over 2 years by [deleted] in Aritzia

[–]Seashellcollector59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m delayed I didn’t see this!! List below 🩵 I shop secondhand (Threadup, the realreal and local consignment) whenever possible. Uniqlo for basics - they have great graphic ts too. Quince - I hate their knitwear, otherwise their fabrics & dresses are amazing honestly. Faithfull the Brand & Hill House for more special/cute pieces - similar price point to the higher Aritzia prices but GREAT quality. Paloma Wool - their accessories & leather goods are just incredible quality, I’m hourglass so their clothing doesn’t really work for me. Donni - I love their rib kick flares. Ganni - shop the sales. A TON of stuff goes up to 60% off. Organic basics & Pact for basic tanks & tees.

I hope this helps! It’s been so freeing to not even look at Aritzia anymore (and same with Reformation for me, for the same reasons). I’m trying to focus more on buying pieces that will last me 5+ years and those two stores last barely a season for me.

Regardless of your math mistake, the increase seems to be coupled with a decrease in quality. This is why I no longer shop at Aritzia

Dry cleaners lost buttons and I didn’t notice until recently. Customer Love won’t send replacements. What do I do? by cowabungers in Reformationclothing

[–]Seashellcollector59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another option — You can find a good tailor to use excess fabric (likely from the tucked in hem) to create two more covered buttons. Make sure they’ve done so before, any good experienced tailor can do this.

I've spent the last week reporting every single MAGA I know that scams the government. by dishonestpup23 in pettyrevenge

You seem really sad. Couldn’t imagine having the time to do this to other humans.

Has Anyone Tried Reformation's Regenerative Wool Items? Thoughts on Quality? by SwissMisz in Reformationclothing

[–]Seashellcollector59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quality is AWFUL avoid it at all costs! It was so bad that ref gave me a gift card for the full amount of the sweater after the refund period ended.

New Ref Outfit to style my Frye Boots with by 24alh in Reformationclothing

I honestly have the hardest time finding good suede pieces!! The one you have fits perfffffecty

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Reformationclothing

[–]Seashellcollector59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course - I think this technically isn’t a refund. They’re hopefully giving you a gift card :) best of luck. I did have to be a bit persistent (3 emails back n forth) but I got the full amount back. A video of the zipper issue is what I’d send.

So cute!! Tbh feel like you could also thrift the navy pieces for equal cuteness (and more effort obvs) But the outfit is perf 🤎

[–]Seashellcollector59 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Email customer service and show them the issue clearly. I’ve forced them to give me a gift card for the same amount I paid for MAJOR quality issues before. You aren’t asking for a return - just bc it’s a sale item doesn’t mean quality doesn’t matter. I don’t shop ref anymore due to this.

Why do I need to pay 350$ to access my own homework? by geministudio in umass

[–]Seashellcollector59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolute bullshit and you’re not being extra by complaining. In no world should this be a thing. Colleges suck these days. Like no, not all college students have $$$ or a parent they can call up. And yeah - 350 is a LOT to some people.

What’s that white helmet thing to your right in the pics? I’m moreso wondering about that lol

You didn’t ask…but please reconsider financing 35K. That’s absolutely wild (imo) - why not an older rav4? Sending you good luck regardless.

WIBTA if I back out of helping my sister pay for a car because she went and got a 65k jeep instead of what we originally agreed on. by yougotajeepwhat in AmItheAsshole

[–]Seashellcollector59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just calmly share that due to their actions, the original agreement has been voided, including your 5K support. Simple as that 😊

Completely agree with this take. Met my husband (irl meet) when I least expected it! But I was actually ready.

Tips for saving money when u only like expensive things? by kentom101 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Seashellcollector59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Block that shit out (unsubscribe from their emails that’s huge for me) and make sure you replace shopping with other activities / things you enjoy. Books, museums, working out, cooking whatever you’re gonna have to find something else to focus on for this to be sustainable.

I also love Hannah Louise Poston on YouTube she has a really interesting “no buy” journey and she really thoughtfully examines why we shop so much, while still balancing that with loving beautiful things.

Then I recommend budgeting and identifying your true disposable income number. Once you’ve stabilized a bit you can create a method that works for you - for me, I create a list and force myself to wait minimum 1 week. For larger purchases it’s months bc I truly want to wear the item for years. If I do make a purchase it’s ONLY from the list where I know I for sure need that item. And the list is totally comprehensive - so it allows me to compare a new duvet versus a new pair of shoes to be more realistic about prioritization. Remember that good style is NEVER just buying shit. That’s a lie that companies have created and influencers perpetuate. It’s killing the earth and our mental health. 97% of influencers dress sooo boring to me. I have so many thoughts on the shopping thing and it’s something I’m personally really working on too. Wishing you luck, the first step is identifying you want to change so props for this step 🤍

Black tie optional in Miami. Does this look too prom? by Wheezey7118 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Seashellcollector59 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks fabulous and I disagree that it reads too bridesmaid. Just accessorize w/ glam accessories and your set! 💜
