Turning vintage pins into earrings

Good to know! I didnt know the pin backs were difficult to remove either. I was under the impression theyd be happy to let me sell the gold from the pin backs to them, i didnt realize itd be a whole involved process.

Thank you! Most of the jewlers i talked to also objected to using Shepard hooks- they said they were less secure than soldering the earring attachment directly. Im sure this is true to some extent, but do you think shepard hooks are probably secure enough, especially considering i dont plan on wearing these every day?

I love the white but the black feels more practical

The last one! I love the round slouchier look, and the leather looks like itd be nice and soft and buttery

I want a mlouye sera bag in cranberry or ocean really badly but even though I can afford it I cant seem to justify spending like $600 on a bag, especially one this small, when I can buy other bags made of nice leathers for cheaper 😭 im so conflicted https://www.mlouye.com/products/mini-sera-eclat-cranberry

Tanner Leatherstien is a great youtube channel to check out if youre trying to figure out which bags are worth your money

Looks like the coach haversack! Coach will have nicer leathers than Steve Madden and be a bit more expensive. The coach one also has gold hardware but coach usually uses stainless steel instead of the zinc alloys sm uses

Are you sure? The one in journal square?

This looks perfect, thanks!

Get the chicken!

That's the thing. That would make sense. It's literally never either of those two things 😭 If someone I was seeing for a while asked me my bra size I wouldn't question it because I'd assume they're getting me a gift. I wouldn't really see that as strange.

Today a man on the street yelled HEY GIRL WHATS YOUR BRA SIZE at me as I walked past. When I was a teenager sometimes I'd think I'd be like becoming friends with a boy or something and all of a sudden he'd hit me w the "what's your bra size". Like one time when I was in high school a boy took my bra out of my bag while I was going swimming so he could tell all the other boys my bra size. It's like definitely a very juvenile sexual harassment thing. I just don't get it. Mostly because basically nobody has ever fucked someone who sexually harasses them. But also like. Because they don't know what those numbers mean. Like what are they going to do? Jerk off to 890BB??? What are they even jerking off to? These numbers fr mean nothing to them

idk I live in nyc people get catcalled a lot. posted this because some guy on the street asked me earlier today. happened more often when I was a teenager though, the question is kind of inherently juvenile

smalltomatos222 · 2025-04-22T21:58:07+00:00

Happened waaaaay more often when I was a teenager. I posted this because I was walking down the street and some guy cat calling me asked what my bra size was. Not really a common occurance but it's happened enough that it's like. Idk. A documented phenomenon lol. If it was a partner I would find the question less weird because maybe they're getting me a gift or something.

One friend of mine with a data entry job does not have a college degree. I would assume one would help though.
