was thirty dollars and i thought that i was off kilter for thinking that that was a lot but thankfully everyone else in the comment section agreed your version of expensive isn't my version of expensive and what you consider cheap isn't what i consider cheap in a way it does genuinely like upset me that these situations aren't really brought up when talking about fast fashion because just as there is a stigma where people can't outfit repeat there is this really dumb stigma where people of lower classes shouldn't be interested in fashion even though clothing has a huge importance in the opportunities you get in life and how people treat you to day-to-day bases a part of this is obviously yeah we live in a very extremely vain and shallow society but a big part of this is also that people who are outside of the eurocentric beauty standard group very often poc have to almost modify how they look on the outside in order to be accepted in the inner group i know for me growing up i think any hispanic i think any hispanic can relate that like your mom used to shop all the time at ross and you would like straighten your hair and everything to fit in with like the white girls and stuff i know i did it for a really long time and all my cousins did it because the truth is how you look does bring you power and acceptance and the way our system works is that they try to keep people who are on the outside group basically to keep them there and this is something that's often ignored because people will be like um it's just a shirt it's not that deep but in reality it kind of is much deeper than just buying a shirt you know there's a reason why clothing styles are always changing and although one can say that it's to change clothing from summer to fall to me it's just another way where society tries to distinguish people of higher class and lower class distinguish people who can afford the latest trends versus the people who can't afford that stuff and then they get the label of wearing stuff that's outdated people who are in the position of shaming others for buying fast fashion make the argument that you could always just go thrifting but then whenever someone does go thrifting and makes an outfit that is considered outdated they're relentlessly dragged online and even bullied i just would like to point out that if you're going to pretend to care about fast fashion then you need to stop critiquing what people are wearing now so much because critiquing what people are wearing now saying it's not cool saying they're lame for wearing this that the other thing calling chugi insights fast fashion because it seems like everybody's thrifting right it seems like everybody's thrifting everybody's trying to be sustainable everybody hates fast fashion but everybody loves to point fingers about who's not cool enough and what they're wearing and who's been wearing what for too long pick something oh my god literally do not even get me on the whole chugi thing i haven't heard people say it in a while but the mere fact that it was a thing at one point and i'm still pretty sure some people still dead ass use it unironically it's literally rooted in classism and is literally just a fancy way to bully people for what they wear especially people who can't afford the newest styles although this is a word
