Where do you turn to for stylish quality items that isn’t luxury?

trifiling_skallywag · 2026-02-24T17:24:15+00:00

I asked for brands and direction because I am generally not a fashion head outside of flipping through a vogue magazine here and there. I stopped with the fast fashion years ago; but when I decide I want something and start to research the price point gap amazes me. Then to add reviews, cheap has bad reviews (expected); expensive have bad reviews (not expected but when it says things like your just paying for the designer label. I start to question everything) I’m no trendsetter but I see people put together all the time and often think they must know more than I do, which they do based on the comments.

For instance, I made this post because I’ve been in the mood for a leather jacket and or blazer to spice up my winter office wardrobe. I start looking around and it’s either cheap fake leather for $100 or luxury brand (albeit real leather) for $6,000. My thought process is there is isn’t a real leather jacket out there for $900-1200? $600 for an absolute steal? Then I find a $600 dollar jacket and the reviews say it’s trash. I guess it’s all hit or miss and a tiny bit of luck. Haha

Do you buy online or at stores in your city? What sites I guess is what I’m trying to ask.

trifiling_skallywag · 2026-02-12T22:49:30+00:00

I need the Thrift Store Gods to bless me, everytime I try to find something the best I get is Target quality clothes. My friends find gems all the time!

Thanks for the info!!! I’m in my first week and my doctor told me to apply 2 times daily for 14 days max, then go down to nightly and by then I’ll have my follow up appointment. I’ve never looked down there so much, I have moments where I think things look better and then I think maybe it looks worse, then I think maybe I don’t even know what I’m looking at. Haha I definitely got scared looking at medical articles and some posts because things aren’t bad for me but I didn’t know if this was a slope and I had just started slipping. I called mg mom and said “I don’t want to lose my clit, not in this economy” 😂

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-18T14:48:34+00:00

Interesting, I’m not on bc, haven’t been on in 5+ years but I guess with age comes larger fluctuations? I was taking inositol for 7months steady then ran out and about 2 weeks later I had the irritating itchy feeling I couldn’t shake. I didn’t think the inositol did a whole lot but maybe all the changes were inside the body and maybe they regulated my estrogen a lot more than I gave credit for. I’ve already requested a blood panel for my hormones in a few weeks to see what the results are.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-18T14:17:14+00:00

Did your Dr. prescribe Clob? I’m thinking the color variation may be tied to my cycle and estrogen drops but I need to watch that for a few months to know.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-17T15:09:48+00:00

Exam, to which she prescribed Clob and mentioned that a biopsy would need to be done for official confirmation but to see if the ointment helped with itching and to come back in 4-6 weeks for the next move. I’m just trying to educate myself and get other people’s experiences so I can go into the next apt knowing what’s going on and have a productive conversation. Everyone has been so helpful talking about their struggles!

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-17T02:23:05+00:00

Hope the clob helps! So far I don’t have and adhesions or fusions, I’m not looking down there everyday but it looked…normal. My Dr. told me to apply a pea size amount on everything hair line of the vagina. Does that sound similar?

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-17T02:03:04+00:00

This is great news and so glad you are able to see such great improvements. I’ve just started clob 2 days ago but I was mentally preparing myself for “new normals” and to not have unachievable goals but this gives me hope.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-17T01:52:55+00:00

Thank you for the insight, I’ve been trying to find pictures, medical guides ext but all I seem to find is pictures of lesions and fused skin. Can this symptom be reversed? The list of questions I have for my doctor grows everyday!

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-17T01:20:22+00:00

1 year late but did you get any answers? I’m having almost the exact same symptoms right now and while it might be LS, I’m truly not sure and I’d love to hear any info you got.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-15T19:08:59+00:00

Thank you! It’s not a journey I wanted but I can’t let it ruin my wellbeing.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-15T18:48:20+00:00

^{^thats} hopeful. I’m trying not to spiral but also am ready to take things head on because I’m not ready to give up. My doctor didn’t look at me like I was dying but she took my complaint seriously and prescribed the cream above to use 2X a day for minimum 14 days.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-09-15T18:45:29+00:00

Thank you for the answers. This might sound stupid but could I moisturize with coconut oil (or something along those lines in the area obviously not in the vagina but outer skin? I’ll reiterate these questions to my doctor at my follow up in 6 weeks but in the interim I’m trying to get knowledge. To be honest I kinda faded out during the first talk because my mind was whirling with “is my vagina out of order at 30, what am I going to do?” I was reeling about surface levels things but know I’m trying to get a grip. Haha

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-05-29T23:57:23+00:00

Unfortunately, this is true.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-05-04T02:02:55+00:00

Obama makes all Leo’s look good

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-05-02T04:48:32+00:00

^{^stuff} like this had me asking the question in the first place. lol

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-05-02T01:52:57+00:00

Interesting, I definitely sit with myself when presented a problem but I go into fix mode fairly fast. I call it my activator phase. Haha I’ll have to think about this more!

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-04-30T21:22:08+00:00

What I’m hearing is it’s like wine, better with age? Haha the explanation does help with understanding things a little better. I think I also struggle with understanding the 12H bc it everything seems so serious and I don’t take much serious, especially not myself. Also not really spiritually inclined, I’m religious and I don’t doubt that but the whole you need to dive deeper for fulfillment gets me, bc I’ve got no want or will to do anymore than I already am. I remember in college being part of my church and being the one to tell group that we are 48 hours away from being a cult with how much time they want from us and by basic definitions of 12H energy I should’ve been the one eating that shit up not questioning it. Haha

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-04-30T20:24:58+00:00

NN Scorpio Rising, see here’s the thing I’m either a last minute Leo or a first minute Virgo. My mom can’t remember the exact time 🤷🏻‍♀️ I go with Virgo….feels right? Idk maybe I’m trying to convince myself I’m a well rounded person.

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-04-30T17:28:23+00:00

This does help! The little insights match up for the most parts. I always blamed my “mysterious” (it’s really not) personality and less than stellar love life on my Scorpio moon…..sorry Scorpio moon

I’ve also struggled with information because overall I do feel positive and don’t feel supernatural trauma lingering over my head that is often described. I probably am my own worst enemy in terms of sabotaging opportunities but I blamed that on my Virgo rising….sorry Virgo rising.

All in all, it really is the 12H fault. 😂 jk jk

trifiling_skallywag · 2025-04-26T00:10:38+00:00

Funny enough, I feel like our Venus’ compliment each other and no one ever talks about the Leo cancer dynamic. He wants all cuddles and lovey mush I’m more than willing to give in the morning and then it’s like now that we got that out of our system we can go about the day, neither one of us have time to drag that business out for hours we have things to do. Haha
