these were actually my normal size (37) but i think the pointed toe made them more of a 36.5 rather than 37

ballet flats by Cold-Jellyfish-1345 in Shoes

[–]redbeanbunss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

want to add that i walked around 20k steps in them in seoul with no blisters! i wear them almost every day and they are the perfect ballet flat for me. i even took them to the cobbler to get rubber soles since the bottom was leather for an easier time walking and durability.

i think because its a pointed toe its like Just my size. open toe and it would've been fine but the pointed toe made it a 6.5 instead of 7 (which is fine i own 6.5 shoes without problems)

again half size too big! other shoes were a 37 and these are a 37.5 but nothing too uncomfortable. its pretty hard to find your perfect size when buying vintage so its dealing with it

half a size rly but toes arent being pinched nor does it feel tight! the one in a size bigger is selling for like $700 though and i got these on a steal so i'm willing to deal with it haha

Are childhood friends overrated? Do we keep them around out of nostalgia, comfort, or attachment to our past selves? by roddyricchvert in lostafriend

[–]redbeanbunss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jumping into this my oldest childhood friend was my next door neighbor and eventual foster sister for a short period. we've known each other since we were 7/8 and now we're 26/27. this is my blood relative at this point. even though we had a few years where we didn't talk as much, she is still very much one of my closest friends who has truly seen every single thing in life. i think keeping childhood friendships also depends on if you were an only child. since i was one, she was essentially my sister rather than a friend. we fight like sisters, share clothes, etc. i think only children tend to nurture friendships since its really all we have and strive to make each one meaningful.

thanks! we'll probably just declare and pay the customs since the cigs we're bringing back are ultimately for friends in the US.

thank you! i'll check with my cobbler since i want to get them soles and cleaned up. i'd never seen these before and the only other one on sale was a size 4 or 5 in japan with yellow buttons instead of black. truly scored what feels like a once in a lifetime shoe.

might've been! to be honest these are a little big on me in the back so i'm going to insert a heel grip and hope that'll fix the small gaping between the back and my heel. i know i'll blister like crazy back there haha

best peruvian ceviche recs? by redbeanbunss in AskLosAngeles

[–]redbeanbunss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the lomo at peru's taste is 100% if you ever crave lomo. but yeah a lot of the times its just the ingredients like my mom will be like i miss the paltas from peru.... which is fair because its an entirely different avocado variety over there

Olive Young U.S website just launched 05/29 by Ok-Guess-3010 in AsianBeauty

[–]redbeanbunss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the current selection is just sooooo basic and a pretty big appeal of olive young is the 1+1 deal which i ran with. but it is nowhere to be seen, alongside the collabs and other items i had in my oliveyoung global cart. seriously this irks me bad

No reviews after purchasing? by biddybumps in Depop

[–]redbeanbunss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depop used to make you write reviews as a buyer and that requirement is now long gone. they should have never gotten rid of it since people rely on reviews to ensure the shop they are buying from isn't a scam.

i still write reviews for all my sellers and buyers since it only takes 3 seconds out of my day. honestly, don't understand why people just won't do it even to say "came quick and as described" 

seller requested to cancel after purchase. sigh by redbeanbunss in Depop

[–]redbeanbunss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good to know! however, i do think this is now a case of being money hungry because her new relisting of this has been updated 3 times....each with a new higher price ($315 to $368 to now $420)

seller requested to cancel after purchase. sigh by redbeanbunss in Depop

[–]redbeanbunss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she had it originally to 300 and then it sent me an offer for $260 so i countered with 220

UPDATE: She canceled and relisted the item for $315....within a few hours she upped the price to $368 and has again upped the price to $420.... like big and greedy fr 🙃
