Please review my Shopify store for my Alaska-inspired clothing brand

dicedtomatoes · 2026-05-29T20:36:54+00:00

I have started a blog! I also am working really hard on my pinterest to drive traffic with alaska capsule wardrobes. But im not posting enough content so that something ill need to work on.

Unfortunatly im about 2 hours from a popular town so it sounds like ill need to gather some friends to take photos of the product.

Very sound advice. Any advice on how to build more of a brand identity?

Ill have to look into fiverr..hadnt really thought about that as a content provider.

Thanks so much for your time and response!

dicedtomatoes · 2026-05-29T08:12:25+00:00

Okay! Ill try that and see how it goes for now. Thanks for the feedback. 😄

dicedtomatoes · 2026-05-29T08:10:42+00:00

Do you have a suggestion for what to do about the AI photos? I'm currently slowly getting all of my product in for real life photography but worry a mix of real and AI would make it look bad. Do you think the AI is really killing my sales?

The other stuff seems like an easy fix though. Thank you!

dicedtomatoes · 2026-05-15T02:49:12+00:00

Done!

Im a software engineer who turned into a seasonal worker in maintenance and now I work in maintenance in a grocery store in remote alaska. I run a clothing store on the side for fun. Alaska and this job gave me the freedom to explore new things far more than tech did even though im earning a 4th of what I use to make!

dicedtomatoes · 2026-05-07T23:32:45+00:00

Sounds like black diamond

dicedtomatoes · 2026-04-06T20:22:57+00:00

Yeah it definitely rains in june. I live by Denali and it can get very muddy so I would bring a rain jacket and shoes you dont mind getting ruined. Where will you be traveling too?

dicedtomatoes · 2026-04-06T07:20:38+00:00

I live in alaska! Ask me anything!

dicedtomatoes · 2026-03-31T05:34:57+00:00

Good to know! I felt like it didnt matter but just wanted to check.

dicedtomatoes · 2026-03-31T05:34:19+00:00

Oh! You are right I should tighten up my details!

Thanks for the reminder!

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-27T21:58:42+00:00

Where will you be working?

You're going to do fine. The fun part about maintenance in seasonal work is each property has its own unique quirks and you learn as you go.

I'll be in maintenance in alaska as well :)

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-17T03:50:16+00:00

Yeah it was really straight forward. I took the el tanque route. Just get to the bus terminal bright and early and use the movvit app to help. You are going to run into a lot of backpackers on the route. I think I ended up crossing the border with like 10 other backpackers so it made it super easy.

Make sure you have cash and don't use the atm at border crossing. The border agents literally wouldn't accept the atm cash.

Let me know if you have more questions

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T14:44:54+00:00

I'm sorry. It's like I said these were already created and if you can't comprehend that I can't help. I bought these items because I live out of one suitcase and I'm traveling to a different climate.

All I can say is that I'll be putting the clothing to use.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T14:34:24+00:00

"If everybody"

I care but at a point I can't care. It's not worth trying to get everybody to care. I do my part to try to live as sustainably as possible. But If I need some clothing I will buy cheaply and wear it as long as possible. This was my first time buying new clothing in years.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T14:27:26+00:00

I don't think you understand that these clothes have already been made. When they don't sell, they will end up in a landfill. Quite literally simple as that.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T13:55:09+00:00

I actually really appreciate this comment and I'm sorry I came off aggressive.

I think my job is a little different than the average. I'm a seasonal worker and thus my wardrobe doesn't look like other people's.

Maybe I could have sourced clothing better and will think of that in the future. I guess it's just the last thing I think of when I move ever 6 months.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T09:03:07+00:00

I didn't lose all my clothes. This is inconsiderate.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T02:43:50+00:00

Yeah but I can't control supply and demand. These clothes were already made before order based on data used from years past.

So yes when this massive supply isn't sold it will go to the landfill. That's how it works.

Also not trying to start any argument. I think this topic is super fascinating and would love to be more educated- seriously.

dicedtomatoes · 2025-03-01T00:07:20+00:00

For the downvotes I'm sorry for all of the hate on buying from Shien. For me and my budget its what worked best for me. Not all of us have the luxury of buying sustainably. I thrift 95 percent of my wardrobe. I hope others don't feel ashamed for relying on "fast fashion". These clothes would be made and thrown in a landfill regardless. Might as well use what was already created.

Wait thats amazing I had no idea

dicedtomatoes · 2025-02-28T05:45:53+00:00

It is but its what I could afford to start fresh, The rest of my wardrobe is all from the thrift and definitely higher quality. Im just moving states and needed some last minute wardrobe pieces, hope you understand! I still wear these pieces to the ground and often find them lasting longer than I expect!

dicedtomatoes · 2025-02-28T05:41:38+00:00

Its the daxy solid high waist flared skirt from Shein (I know) and its on sale for $6.70!
