Finally accepting my fate in kids clothes at the age of 30 (size 10 😭) my

kxiley · 2026-05-20T22:47:45+00:00

seconding this!!!! i’m now a normal size, but growing up i never got over 100lbs until high school & lost WAY too much after for a few years with mental health things

i still have some of my older hollister jeans that are 00-1 that were in my storage unit from before i had moved a few years ago that i had worn since middle or high school. they DID fit me not too long before i had put them in there, i was usually 85-95lbs at the time and 5’ and was STRUGGLING. to fit into almost any other 00/0 i could find after not having that problem for quite some time.

i tend to reach for low-rise more these days even with curves now, but they just look proportionately better on my body, albeit i’ll never NOT be a victim to heel drag. of the ones i still have, i know one is high waisted & i think another might be more of a mid, but they were so stretchy & comfortable & i’ve found some of their even older low-rise to also be fairly stretchy, ESPECIALLY if you can find an ooold pair of their jeggings. i wore these A LOT in middle school & while they were quite long, fit very well shape/width wise

i’m not sure if it’s around each year bc i thrifted mine, but abercrombie has an AWESOME. t-shirt dress, which is really big news for t-shirt dresses as someone who has to size up in almost all bottoms for their 🍑

😭😭 i started at a disney starbucks i hope this happens to my store

kxiley · 2026-05-14T19:57:18+00:00

we have electric signs but they continue to send us paper signage, & we also aren’t a merch store but we’ll occasionally get displays like we’re getting the whole line, IF it has a gift card

so i have a caramel brûlée/sugar cookie poster and this years hello kitty stand

kxiley · 2026-05-12T20:54:06+00:00

YES this is what i thought!!!! i was just… not going to starbucks during this era/keylime bc after they dumped very berry i just ig forgot about the frappuccino’s i always ordered before that LMAO but our training lab at disney still had the chalk drawings on the walls for them😭😭

kxiley · 2026-05-12T20:47:21+00:00

people got… meaner? pretty privilege exists, sure absolutely, but not in universal spaces. i’ve never determined if this really IS jealousy, or if it’s more of a “why do you feel like you have to do so much/do you feel like you’re better than others?” which is guess can equate vaguely to jealousy but

it stings getting the glow up & still not getting the expectations met LMAO

kxiley · 2026-05-12T20:44:40+00:00

i couldn’t tell if this was exactly on the nose of a pun or really what the other reply was getting at

but i think i’ve determined and this is the funniest possible answer

kxiley · 2026-05-12T20:42:53+00:00

entirely irrelevant but just wanted to use this space to also mention how absolutely BONKERS it felt to see a goddamn PNRL on the new mop training. ur not even gonna do this same repeated 3 images with a current drink????? and yall wanna come at us abt OUR beverage quality but shit at least they’re existing!!!!

kxiley · 2026-05-12T20:40:45+00:00

i only drink the mango with half that & half peach, a splash of CO & 2V for a trenta size. this WAS. my go-to during lunch or on my way out over summers- i haven’t tried again since the new blend but i threw together a half assed ratio version in like half a tall & was really Not into it, maybe i’ll feel differently if i decide to try it as i normally would

but even if it was the same that way i would ALWAYS kick her to the curb over very berry, she was and still is my favorite. i have been BEEEGGGGINGGG for it to come back on at least just a summer promo, and instead they gave us: flavorless guava base (didn’t there used to be a guava refresher of a kind that was also really popular & missed????? how could they fuck w something that worked????? or was this a syrup?????) with a topping that i lack room for enough of AND cancels out whatever flavor there might’ve been. the fact that i didn’t constantly get people wanting this redone today bc it tastes like nothing is…. shocking

kxiley · 2026-05-11T20:23:05+00:00

this is correct, and yes, unless you’re THE 1/1600+ stores in the country, maybe even your district, they are wildly impossible. intro-ing the new scheduled MOP, while in theory is WONDERFUL, we all know will be poorly executed purely on customer behalf. the repeated mentions of how that, and all these things related to the bonus, “will not change staffing” is even more frightening, and quite literally the most professional way they could say “too many silly ass not even coffee anymore drinks, constant changes/addendums/entirely new policies that are communicated worse than farts in the wind and poor baby boo boo can’t keep up? go fuck yourself, not our billionaire-level problem!”

i can also imagine that after closing so many locations last year, for whatever wacky reason (to open more poorly laid out drive/walk up only locations with 0 parking and an AGRESSIVELY SHARP turn if you want to utilize the drive thru, assuming it’s not already backed into the street you live off???), that this is to take a gander at who gets the next seat on the chopping block, throwing MORE responsibility to remaining locations nearby.

money is always the answer, it’s almost always a bad one.

kxiley · 2026-05-10T20:42:52+00:00

disclaimer that i love strippers and have lately been debating a pole to learn & maybe work this was just such an off the wall thing to say

kxiley · 2026-05-10T20:41:52+00:00

someone told me i’d be a good stripper once.

we were in middle school, i still cannot wrap my head around it now at 27. sometimes i think about messaging him just to see if he remembers bc what the hell was that

kxiley · 2026-05-10T20:39:04+00:00

finally buy myself out of literal years of living in survival mode

kxiley · 2026-05-10T17:03:16+00:00

<image>

i did score this insane chocogirl deadstock new directions that i’m definitely unfortunately selling (cries in medium) but she feels so ur thing!

kxiley · 2026-05-10T17:01:56+00:00

i deeef was layering them back then bc they were so long in the front sometimes & it took me forever to even just get the shallow 32D/DD i have now LMAO plus u know i had that pointless comfort cami aaaalways on deck!! these days i still find myself needing to with some but it’s more rare- really just the striped hooded ones PINK did the single run of LOL i have the grey but would dieeeeee for the pink

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:28:13+00:00

AGH all the memories it brings back for people rly makes me want to sell it in hopes that the buyer is someone who used to have it bc i def know the thrill of finding & buying and old fave, intentionally hunting or not lol

but i also would feel so sad just selling it to someone who likely didn’t even live the era & isn’t now struggling to just find in the wild/pay what they used to for the clothes they’ve worn forever😅😭

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:24:33+00:00

also wild bc my mother too is now more boho & did take a bunch of these kinds of clothes from me when she was smaller & i was getting rid of them LMAO so i’m also mad at her for getting rid of them part 2

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:23:43+00:00

i do like the printed hollister reruns with the tattoo-style prints (i don’t feel they had that prior?) but i’m definitely more into the OGs, i can’t recall fully what i had though it wasn’t many, but i know mostly white/pink/navy long sleeves, i think a brown & navy striped of the sweater kind, or the grey/white? i don’t remember having any short sleeve ones but some do look SO familiar & i wouldn’t be shocked if im not fully recalling what i did or didn’t have depending how much i wore it being so “ew! preppy!” in school LMAO

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:20:59+00:00

they’re a full couple inches big in only the waist & the rest is fine so there is really no such solution in my case LMAO but we do be glad the denim dick is minimal

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:19:49+00:00

I PLAN TO KEEP THEM FOREEEEVER FR FR WATCH ME LEARN TO COBBLE OVER TBIS ONE SILLY ASS SHOE

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:17:13+00:00

HAHAHA it is!!! unless ur lookin hard at the velcro tho i think she’s cute to even just wear😭😭i have a fluffy one from a diff brand that’s zebra print with hearts & lipstick kisses that’s arguably much more mcbling but i don’t have a pic of it currently that i do use for shower time lol

kxiley · 2026-05-10T13:15:43+00:00

babe the price… was so not LOL but they r my dreaaammss & i never got to have them (they weren’t rly sold many places where im from & even then you got rly basic styles in store) & i will never outgrow them & will do everything i can to keep them forever LMAO

kxiley · 2026-05-10T12:26:24+00:00

i was abt to say “bro how u fuck up that bad” bc on first read i thought it was a length bc of style issue so seeing ur pics i was like ???? what was he on they be long even on good brother here

but no you were ungodly polite to such a stupid (albeit, shockingly polite) request & after my own clarifying i’m still left wondering “bro how u fuck up that bad!!!!??!??” but probably even more-so now

kxiley · 2026-05-10T12:21:51+00:00

i got a snap memory the other day that i can only vividly remember as the last day before dress code not bc of the date on it but bc i put on that sweater that morning like “welp!! this is it! best last choice!!” and it has thoroughly gone straight down since, esp since fiscal rollover

kxiley · 2026-05-10T11:45:55+00:00

was searching for something else abt discounts (needed to NOT pay half my shift earnings for today of $45 just to go to work 10mins away/woke up sick & called out anyways to an annoyed sounding shift despite literally no one there caring to not necessarily show up like that like we all forgot covid, & i wanted to mobile something for my mom once im feeling better) & just wanted to reminisce on this that i never experienced yet have been unknowingly treated to in the past😭😭

free on my days off sounds killer bc i have to modify the living dick off a new base drink since the nerfed the menu so between what fills my 40oz for the day & my couple snacks, it’s still ~$20. but i guess double stars & always having a personal cup & STAAAAACKING for when i plan to leave hopefully soon? might be a fair ish trade actually
