It’s funny isn’t it once you see it you can’t not see the whole thing as just absolutely grim and bleak. I’d love free money ngl but you couldn’t pay me to eat tinned meatballs and manage a portfolio of fake email addressesIt’s not funny or relatable to look so awful and haggard when she does nothing all day and just eats a terrible diet and lounges watching TV. I can relate to women who look tired/messy (who cares) but work hard and make the best of themselves and their good health and life choices, but she is just so unlikeable now
My overriding question is why? Why would you wear this? And why would you take a picture of yourself and post it? Everyone has their casual/comfy days but there’s no need to go around looking like a frog.Oh god, her latest reel. I know she’s trying to be funny/relatable but how godawful is that weird hood thing?

Hardly more destined for landfill than anything else if you don’t make considered purchase! While I understand you may see them as low quality, I’ve had the older, slightly smaller version in three colours for about 5-6 years now and intend to wear them for at least as much longer. They are very practical for cycling and travel, and kept their shape and colour all these years.Apologies if anyone likes them - I think those nylon Uniqlo bags are so fugly. So sad and droopy. They literally drag every outfit down. They are the epitome of fast fashion as well - cheap, available in an array of colours and look just destined for landfill.
Couldn't agree more but sadly many people are still of the "oh it didn't cost much so I'll wear it a few times and then chuck it" mindset. I have educated intelligent friends who do this all the time. Unfortunately lots of people aren't like you and I and buy fast fashion because it's a cheap quick fix. I'd love to know percentages on how quickly and how much fast fashion ends up in landfill. Or maybe I wouldn't as it makes me genuinely quite sad. Anyway, I digress, just wanted to post about it as it's such a bugbear of mine.Hardly more destined for landfill than anything else if you don’t make considered purchase!

Unlike many influencers that dispose of clothes more often than they wash their hair, I don’t do it, so just because an item comes with a lower price tag it does not make it more destined for quick disposal. Unfortunately way too many items even with higher price tag or seemingly better quality end up in landfill too soon. I understand that the assumption is if someone buys fast fashion that they must do it every season, but trust me, it’s possible to purchase fast fashion for a long run and with much more environmentally friendly attitude than overhauling on “sustainable fashion brands” every season.
Oh sorry I shouldn’t have made such a blanket statement. You are right fast fashion can be long lasting, much loved purchases. And many ppl buy higher priced/luxury goods with a disposable mindset.Hardly more destined for landfill than anything else if you don’t make considered purchase!

Absolutely agree! Coming from an economically unstable country shopping to have fun was not the norm and we were happy when able to afford to replace the only pair of shoes we had and was literally falling apart. Moving to the UK was a huge shock when I realised the extent of mindless consumerism. I guess I do get a little triggered when someone equates cheap with disposable/destined ti landfill and hate perpetuating the myth that a higher price tag always equates environmentally conscious choices.Couldn't agree more but sadly many people are still of the "oh it didn't cost much so I'll wear it a few times and then chuck it" mindset.
