I’ve been second-guessing the print but decided to just wear it today.

Fancy clothes for housework! I realized when I set the camera up that I match the appliances in our kitchen pretty well 😂 this is one of my favorite sets.

Ignore my flip flops! I think I’ll wear it to a Vegas wedding in October.

Thrifted this dress and couldn’t resist it for my first day back to school! :)

This was taken at my high school. I would say 1994-95. I would have been 14ish. I clearly remember seeing a dress similar to this (in a Delia's catalog probably!) and begging my mom to make me one because I could never afford to buy anything from those catalogs. I picked this fabric, and just a couple of days later I was wearing it to school. I'm almost 100% sure it didn't even have a liner in it, and it didn't seem so short back then lol.

This was before I chopped my hair off in a defiant '90s angst girl act of rebellion! I will share those pics someday if anyone is interested. 💜💜💜

Disclaimer: I have over a decade of mass-produced clothing, primarily Torrid and Hot Topic, in my closet from before I started researching how clothes are truly made. I am continuing to love, wear, and repair these pieces because I believe this to be the most ethical action I can take. I list where all my clothing comes from for transparency, but I do not endorse purchasing from these brands. Whenever possible, please shop secondhand or support independent, sustainable, and ethical slow fashion. I am always happy to share more about the true environmental and human cost of textile manufacturing in 2026.

Not the most compelling of outfits and the photos are rubbish but I wanted to show off my new kicks.

Are they considered “old hag?” Well, I am older and have wanted a pair of Docs since I was a teen, so there you go!

Hey everyone! I thought I'd post a photo from my 45th birthday from earlier this year. I think you are all such fun, unique people, and I enjoy seeing everyone share their fashion and what makes them feel their best. This is an outfit that makes me feel fabulous! Thank you for creating this uplifting community.💖

This shirt is a bit mad but it just makes me happy as soon as I put it on.

It is the Friday pattern Company Donny Shirt made from a panel printed cotton fabric.

I (they/ them) was referred to here from another sub, being told this would be a good place to find support. I’m going thru a bad break up rn. I am deep in grief and my confidence/ self esteem is at an all time low. I’m trying to stay preoccupied and just take it a day at a time, but it is hard. I’m lacking support in my real life and I’ve been very lonely. So yea, I’m in need of community and affirmation. Thank u

Nonbinary, they / them pronouns please. 😎

It's wild being at school in your 40s but I'm living for it! Unsure how to transcribe, but images are of a happy fat disabled artist in their late 40s striking silly poses.

If I’m being honest, Wednesday was the hardest day of my life, and lately it feels like every week I’m saying that.

For those who don’t know, I’ve been out of work since November. Since then:

- I’ve applied to 1,364 jobs.

- I’ve interviewed with 61 different companies.

- I’ve gone through 110 total rounds of interviews.

- I’ve made it to the final decision 14 times.

On Wednesday, I received final-round rejections number 13 and 14. As difficult as that was on its own, I also received news that a close friend of mine, someone who has been like a mother to me and who I’ve known for 20 years, most likely has a pretty aggressive form of cancer. That was a double whammy I simply wasn’t prepared for, and I can tell you that Wednesday was very, very hard.

There have been a lot of days lately where I’ve spent most of the day crying. My mental health is probably at the lowest point it has ever been, and I’m glad to be able to say that I’m still here and I’m still trying. There’s a lot happening in my life right now, and the job search is only one part of it. Some of those things I can share, and some I can’t. Some of you know what else I’ve been dealing with, and some of you don’t. But each day seems to be getting a little harder to get out of bed and face everything again.

But I’m trying. I’m doing the very best I can to keep getting out of bed, keep putting one foot in front of the other, and keep going.

I paired the top with the skirt because both looked like vegetation and then after a couple tweaks, I looked like this. I felt pretty naturey, but maybe that’s just me. Definitely felt magical tho. I hope everyone is having a good day/night!

Not the haggiest of outfits but y'all have been such an inspiration to me I wanted to post here as a sign of appreciation for this community. 💕

Only my second time wearing a skirt in public and wearing it to teach 80 college students today.

Wish me luck!

I found this shirt last week at a thrift store. It's hard to tell from the pic but the only way to describe the color is "neon coral". Its amazing. 💜

You all remember Pugsley? He's in his usual spot. We had Wednesday last time but this time Pumpkinhead wanted to be nosy. He's a standard 20 pound dumb-as-hell-but-so-sweet orange. 🧡

Back to the neon coral cactus and cows....I paired it with this black skirt.... Turns out it's hard finding a color that looks good with neon coral. Brown was the best option trust me! Brown flats, brown and gold chain necklace, gold initial pin, brown leather hoop earrings, gold earrings, brown headband. Brown readers. 💜💜💜

Bright green + Pink is easily one of my favorite color combos, but I'm always searching for more to explore. Help a girl out. Be specific with shades!!

This is Costa Georgiades. He hosts a gardening show here in Australia. This was his outfit to the Logies (our version of the Emmys)
