I don't even go that high-end but eating better food, i think, has done more damange to my bank account than clothing has for the past few months.

saving money is definitely a pleb trend i miss.

edit: my girl's friend went to a "birthday dinner" for her friend and it was at TGIF and i nearly threw up. Cheesecake is decent, but tgif has to be worse than olive garden.

Then you have Four Seasons with stores geared to the younger set (Ambercrombie, Victoria's Secret, Gap, etc.). Not even American Apparel or Urban Outfitters, never mind high-end department stores. The anchors of Four Seasons is JC Penney, Belks, and Dillards. I'd say 95% of my wardrobe is bought online. The other 5% is socks, underwear, and maybe an odd t-shirt from Pac Sun or American Eagle. Certainly nothing like outerwear or shoes.
All you kids crying about poor shopping need to stuff it. Try living in ******* Canada, where I'm hours away from anything nice, and even then, that nice **** costs about 50% more than it does in the states. And even if I wanted to "slum it" with J Crew or whatever, yeah, can't do that, no J Crew. Gap, H+M, that's it. Definitely no ******* high end dept. stores unless you count Holt Renfrew, but again, 50% more than it would cost in the states. Stores with SF approved stuff like Nomad or whatever have insane ******* prices. My entire wardrobe is peasant student stuff from Gap / H+M or secondhands from B+S forum here. Go shop in the states? Get assfucked on duties plus having to drive out there, and if I want to ship something I get assfucked at customs. edit: bbq pizza is for heathens

Glad it's not just me and my sensitive tummy. I swear, if you dont' go to olivegarden/chilis/tgif for like a year or two, once you go back it makes you sick. Just some kind of cheap preservative or something. I still haven't figured out what triggers it but have tried.

I always get suckered into tgif on occasion with "well, they have a lot of appetizers and i like those sesame jack chicken strips. i'll be ok if i only split some apps"

j crew ships to canada, I've never been hit by customs when buying from there. Also, fyi, you don't have to pay duties if it's american made. Only stuff made overseas.

I just grabbed a university coat off there and had them mark it as a gift so I'm hoping I don't get hit with anything.

Maybe for your aesthetic, everything I've had from H+M has died as I tend to wear a few things hard rather than have a closet full of stuff I'll wear once. Plus it just doesn't fit that well. Plus the H+M in my city (London) sucks large amounts of balls - even the ones DT Toronto I have a hard time finding cool stuff.

Don't baby your expensive ****. Go ford a river, hike through a forest. Get dirty in the day and rock them at night.

(May apply more to jeans than to three-pieces)

Wearing your clothes often and not treating them like princesses

I'm not attacking you here - but your outfits in an office setting don't get much wear besides sitting on a chair, that's why you can get away with wearing stuff like H+M often. Everything I've "worn" from H+M has died, unravelled, faded, ripped, or stained.

dryer is what kills clothes, I hang dry all my stuff (which is obvious if you're familiar with living in Asia at all) and wash things frequently, never had any problems with any clothes falling apart other than random buttons falling off
