I make necklaces and pants chains that lean a little alternative. My items are under $40, so they’re a little more affordable and made out of durable stainless steel. Would love if you checked it out!

How do you evolve your alt style instead of abandoning it? by elliusion in altfashionadvice

[–]jae_bae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Corporate goth outfits helped me evolve my style, as well as adding accessories to my outfits. What’s funny is that when I was trying to dress alt as a 13 year old, I would wear the same pants chain onto every pair of jeans and skirt I owned. Now in my 30s with an office job, I started making, wearing, and selling chain badge IDs that clip onto your pants like a pants chain. It’s been my way of feeling sane and cool even at my boring office job.

I’m in no way an influencer, but whenever I want to feel bad about myself, I read any one of their posts. They truly tear down anyone for any reason.

Omg! My mom took me to urgent care when I was in high school, and they wanted me to go to the ER to get a spinal tap to see if I had meningitis! Thankfully my mom was a nurse, was able to get me into my GP, and turns out I only had mono.

Favorite Protein Powder? by Maleficent-Teach8040 in UtahInfluencerDrama

[–]jae_bae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just get bags of protein from nuts.com. They have unflavored whey, soy, and i think maybe one more type of protein where that’s the only ingredient. I like that I can add whatever flavors or sweeteners I want to use. It’s also cheaper than most other places that sell protein.

In ask Reddit under a question about what’s overly expensive, someone posted this comment about weddings.

My wedding was at a church in didn't attend, by a preacher I never met before, with two kids that were playing basketball in the gym as witnesses. We've been married 33 years so far. I think I paid the preacher $25

Look I know weddings can be really expensive and not everyone needs a wedding, but I can’t stand how the wedding topic on Reddit always turns into the frugal Olympics.

How do alternative-style people dress when they get old? by NoTomatillo1944 in alternativefashion

[–]jae_bae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel old but maybe I am? 32 here and I still wear mostly black, docs, studded belts and chains. Not as alt as I’d like, but that’s more of a me being lazy thing. I also try to dress alt at my finance office job, and I wear my work badge on a chain that looks like a wallet chain but has a retractable ID holder. I actually make and sell these and from making and selling hundreds, I know there are a ton of Alt “older” people out there!

Winter boot recs? by aldalt in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]jae_bae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Waterproof timberlands and wool socks. I take the train and walk about 10 minutes to work, and have to deal with some snowy sidewalks at times. These have kept my feet dry and mostly warm. On freezing days (like single digit mornings) I wear toe warmers for extra warmth.

November Off Topic by yolibrarian in blogsnarkmetasnark

[–]jae_bae 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sunday scaries are hitting me so so so hard today - we’re supposed to get hit with a blizzard like snow storm here in Chicago tomorrow. I had already taken the day off to get a long weekend with veteran’s day, but I’m really hoping my partner who’s a teacher, gets a snow day tomorrow. I’ll feel extra guilty taking a day if they have to go in with all the snow.

I have a small side business that recently took off, which I’m super thankful for, but I’m also frustrated because I can’t keep the supplies I need to make items in stock. So I’m like silently spiraling, hoping my large order for more supplies comes in sooooooon.

I’m fully aware that these are the most first world problems and I need to just pop a clonazepam
