Just saw this on my recommended and I stared at it. Just... why? Its bothering me so much...

I decided to get this for dragoncon which I'm so so excited for!! I know its not a specific character but I've always wanted to do a cute steampunk outfit and figured this is the perfect place.

Also going to do Shizuru Kuwabara from Yuyu Hakusho as well as the NPC woman from OSRS. I am going to wear a party hat so its a tiny bit more recognizable. I seriously cannot wait!!!!!

I noticed a high amount of Shein product on thredup lately, which I feel is intentional somewhat. They are priced cheaper, causing other "better prestige" brands, and even mall brands to inflate prices. Good for sellers but an interesting move. Makes sense since I'm sure a lot of people would rather send it to TU than back to wherever it came from.

I got this dress and really want to wear in a POTO style masquerade dress (from the 2004 movie), but would I be crazy doing it all alone lol??

Sorry to delete the original just didn't know how to add photos after the fact! But outfic recs, makeup recs, accessories ideas are all welcome!!

So I keep eating this delicious ice, and I actually love how my lips look afterwards (we love a nice red40 stain), and I am looking for a makeup dupe that would basically give me this same shade in a stain. It looks so cute! Like a very bright red but not cherry if that makes sense.

So I know not everyone is a size small so I did a curated list for size 16. I think I'll continue to do this as well as my normal size.

These are probably my most favorite items that I have found on TU so far. I get so many compliments when I wear the rompers although they're quite short on me! The perils of long torso, long legs.

I love it but this is a HEAVY sweater, best for cool to cold days.

These are NOT items I am selling. I am trying my best to start taking care of my finances and TU is currently where a lot of my money goes. I find all of these cute, but need someone else to give them a good home so I don't accidentally impulse buy them. I find myself lowkey always scrolling and there's just so many cute items. Usually I can favorite/unfavorite but these have been sitting in my favorites over a whole trip but I can't justify spending more on clothes rn. I appreciate everyone helping me curb an addiction to shopping 🙏

Im back at it again with my browsing of assorted brands. I did branch out a little if I found the piece to be of natural fabrics (silk, cotton, wool) and were from niche brands.

I will continue to do this because it is fun, let me know what brands I should watch for!

These are items I personally don't want, but would love for someone to have. I feel kind of bad for the sellers though because they're really not getting anything near what they paid if they paid retail.
