A stylist that says she only dresses herself so she can't answer some of the styling questions. WHAT?

Her vinted waffle doesn’t make much sense, unless she is, as tattlers have deduced, selling on gifted items she ‘really really loves’.

Surely many of her followers are at a similar life stage to her and buy kids clothes on vinted, so would be an ideal market for her.

Id assume it’s because she doesn’t want to be seen selling stuff gifted by brands both by the brands themselves and her followers.

The explanation she gave almost sounds worse than that though. I think it’s normal on eBay not up accept returns I wouldn’t have an issue with her not accepting returns tbh. They can sell it on if it doesn’t fit etc.
I can't imagine buying something on Vinted and then asking for a refund just because if didn't suit me.. as long as the item is as described / as per the photos then you don't have to refund people or accept returns. She's lying about being asked to refund stuff. Also makes no sense.. so if people know it's "that lass from Instagram" they're buying from, they're likely to ask for refunds if something doesn't fit them, but if it's just a "regular person" they wouldn't? Nonsense

I’ve had some issues with people lately, nothing wrong with the listing or the item they just obviously don’t like it/doesn’t fit but saying it’s been mis-sold and even if prove it isn’t Vinted still side with them…it’s a massive pain in the arse. But I never see the point as they have paid for postage to have it delivered then have to pay again to return it…one woman paid more in that than the item cost 🤦🏻‍♀️ just sell it on
Alex is full of tit though, she just doesn’t want people to know she flogs her freebies

Omg that's annoying. Sending those people bad vibes. Just sell it on or donate it if it didn't cost much!

Came here to same the same thing! I just think it’s in such poor taste!
Haha totally, no one should feel pressured to overspend in pricey restaurants but imagine being her age and boasting about being so tight-fisted 🤣 just go to a coffee shop instead

She’s so tight fisted. How embarrassing to have so little self awareness that you think this makes an interesting/relatable reel that reflects well on you as a person 😬

She's probably the person who orders a starter because they 'aren't hungry' and hoovers up everyone else's as soon as they get the chance.

I had a friend who did this in our early 20s. She definitely doesn't do it now!

If you are skint:
-stay at home
-go to a cheaper place

a lot of the restaurants after covid are closing down because everything is so expensive but this one only think for herself and how to save / get money by exploiting the system.

I just don’t think she thinks of it from this angle at all. I think there’s an in-between sometimes in those places you can end up with too much food. I went to The Drury Buildings in Dublin recently. Food was fab (defo recommend) but three each was too much and I’ve a healthy appetite. We also had a fair bit of wine. We could have saved bit tbh by ordering a little less & probably no need for the last glass of wine but we had the table for the entire evening & had a right old catch-up.
I’d feel so bad doing it sharing one with water!!

I don't get it...does she think being a restaurant rightwad is a flex?

She manages to suck the joy out of everything, the ultimate mood hoover.

Oh god that is SO cringey. What a tight cow! Clearly the money saved from ordering just one dish means she can gallumph off to Tokyo or California whenever she likes.

It’s a nice value to pass down to your kids: don’t spend on experiences, try new food, socialise with friends etc but spend your money on bloody washi tape and stripey T-shirts and matches
