Wow, there really is nothing quite like the struggle between wanting a full, vibrant and interesting wardrobe, and trying not to buy from fast fashion producers. (¬_¬")
I understand when people buy from places like Shein and Temu because they're honestly the most viable source of clothing cost-wise! Personally I prefer not to but I can understand. Otherwise, you can only really buy a new piece of clothing every what 2 months? And even then, it's like a jumper with a flower printed on it... Great. ( •̀ ⤙ •́ ) (can you feel sarcasm through a screen? I damn hope so)
And now! Even when I've been so careful to buy from more ethical sources, my clothing style has changed! Suddenly, all the clothes I'd carefully picked before are now unusable because I just don't vibe with them anymore... GAH! All that money wasted... 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。 I'm trying my best to make do, as some items I still like or can style in a way that's more for me, but there's only so much I can do before it becomes an overstimulation NIGHTMARE.
Additionally, the clothing style I like has changed to a more alt fashion, not alt alt but a style that's not usually stocked by your usual fashion brand. I think I find the perfect place to buy from!! ... its £110 for a dress. £110?! What is that about?? ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭ I swear I'm gonna save up that money instead and buy myself a damn sewing machine and do it myself! Out of spite!!
TL;DR If anyone has alteration, sewing or perhaps shopping tips, pleasee reach out! (╥﹏╥) This girl needs new clothes!

I heard someone on the Internet bought a miniature sewing machine and DIY'd a couple pieces from other pieces of clothing, so if money's a big selling point for you, consider to get a miniature sewing machine to fix clothes and/or do quick, lightweight sewing projects!
