I just got banned from Depop for "being a threat," told it was not appealable and to fuck off.

I've never bought or sold on the platform. I made the account, went through like 7 steps to register, and immediately banned.

Wtf. The fuck off came after I sent a POLITE and short email asking if there had been a mistake.
 
Hi girlies. Have you heard of online jewelry shops like Hey Harper? They sell affordable jewelry that doesn't change color due to sweat/water, etc. Stuff for everyday use. Super popular here in EU, not sure if they are popular around the globe.

Anyway, this store sells a bunch of golden pieces, but barely any silver. Unfortunately, I am a silver girlie. I would love recommendations for legit shops that sell affordable "silver" jewelry that are in the same price range and quality. Please and thank you.

The good: An order that was taking forever to arrive finally came, and I didn't have to pay customs for some reason. Weird but not complaining.
The bad: The other one still doesn't arrive. Where is my Xenon palette? :mad:
The ugly: A blush from that order arrived broken and since I'm not american, I can't return it and just had to re-press the whole mess :mad:

Was organizing my closet and found the like genuine, vintage starched-mesh white lace crinoline I found at a French vintage shop when I was 18. It fits perfectly and shows a little bit of the lace under this wool plaid+pleated long Pendleton skirt I found at my church thrift store, and together over a cute white blouse they activate every neuron in my brain at once, killing me instantly

This sounds so pretty, I love it!
 
They are absolutely killing me with the AI generated shit on Twitter that you can't actually buy because it's not real

Is this how moids feel when they thirst for their AI waifus? You can look at it but you can never have it 😭
 
I gave in to my own curiosity and got 2 Girlcult products: that black cream blush and that one red and black eyeshadow palette (nr 52 "Like Fire").
I bought it from some dodgy-looking seller on AlieExpress for a low price. The packaging on both of these is very nice and sturdy, and definitely cuter than what they show in those promo pictures.
The blush is less liquidy than most cream blushes. It's like a wet powder? I think that it may make it last longer, so I don't mind. The color is actually a very neutral berry, kind of a natural red flush color. It's a little sheer but very buildable. It has a slight natural glow to it.
The eyeshadows are a slightly warm mid-tone brown, a neutral deep red, a black-red fine shimmer, and this freaky metallic pink-gold-silver-green-everything multichrome (mostly shifts between pink and green though). These feel very western style. Highly pigmented (especially the red), not messy at all, blend nicely. I did a quick look with all 4 shades and took a shower, got a lot of water in my eyes, and this stuff almost didn't budge at all. Some black sparkly particles from the shimmer were washed away, but I was able to just wipe them with my fingers. So not only did it survive being blasted with water, I also wore it throughout the whole day and experienced no smudging at all. My eyeshadow always gets fucked up in my eye corners so this is a first.
That sounds cool and all, but there's one issue. The seller actually packaged these things really nicely but the whole multichrome just popped out of the palette. I was able to put and press it back in but I lost about a 1/5th of it (and had to deal with a really annoying cleanup). I read a lot of reviews and this seems to be a universal thing for this brand when it comes to these elliptical shaped palettes. This would be a 5/5 if not for that.
I'm thinking of getting another palette from them or trying out their lip glosses

I hate this shit so much.

Anyways what are girlies' thoughts on Flying Vintage Apple, a website/brand that sells vintage clothing? Do you think it's
overpriced or the price is justified because of the quality of the clothing?

I tried registering on Depop a month ago, but I couldn't due to them not having my country's code. I read online that
it was possible to contact the support, explain your situation and essentially get registered through support.

I eventually met a roadblock and gave up after support was constantly asking me if I was using their mobile app to register despite clarifying bunch of times that I am registering through their website on a desktop/computer version. It's a shame because I've seen bunch of clothes pieces I really wanted to buy for myself.

Definitely overpriced. Half of what you're paying for is a nice clean website and them having professional-looking photos with models. I'd say some of them, especially quite a lot of the maxi dresses, are priced pretty fairly considering how much their modern equivalents cost.

depending where you are in the EU, try your local Islamic charity shop. the one near my university has an entire case just full of silver for cheap, because they're not permitted to wear pure silver.

I'm struggling to find modest wear for a good price. I don't wear trousers, which means shopping for activewear has been impossible. I'm desperate for a sweatskirt, but I don't really want to pay $64 for one, and I think the owner of the store is the only one that makes them. If I google lens it, then I just get short short skirts on shein.

I brought from Shein (topped up by goodwill) when I was in the US, but in the EEA, it's so much more expensive. If I look for modest clothes, I seem to only get hideous abayas. If anyone has a good dupe website, or a way to find dupe websites, please let me know. They just have to ship to Switzerland or the UK. I considered finding a mail forwarder from the US, but I feel like that's a bit overkill just to save some bucks.
 
Finding a bra that actually fits perfectly: Great!
Searching through a shitload of online stores because almost nobody sells the size and I don't want cheap chinky shit that breaks on the first use, but I don't want something ridiculously expensive either: Not great.

I've tried multiple calculators and still have no idea what my actual size is because bras don't have standardized measurements. Even the the most "accurate", A Bra That Fits, recommended a size that left me gasping and with indents from the straps when I finally managed to get it off. I'm about to just Mulan my shit so I don't have to drop 80$ on something that won't fit or have the wires pop out in a month.

Idk about getting one in cutesy bubblegum pink but Nike do modest maxi skirts for activewear. They’re on sale on ASOS right now:
https://www.asos.com/nike/nike-woven-2-in-1-maxi-and-mini-skirt-with-zip-detail-in-black/prd/206060687#ctaref-more colours swatches&featureref1-more colours swatches

They call them 2-in-1 because there’s a zip you can use to remove the lower half and turn it into a mini skirt if you’re into that.

Can someone please tell me these look ugly to make me not want them anymore

I think I like that there's no side zipper...
 
Gd I wish I could find cute clothes more in my size. I'm not overly huge (178cm) but I'm built super wide with no almost tits, on top of bigger build from years of contact sports/bulking. Even when I do find cute clothes in my size I feel like a troon wearing them.

DAE know the feeling? Like legitmately trying to look feminine just makes me feel like an ugly troon because everything is ill-fitting due to my body shape. I used to dress just butch/masculine since it fit my shape but now that I'm 30 I find I'm enjoying looking more like an actual woman at times. I even grew out my hair for the first time in literally like 12 years.
 
I have some dresses that I’d like to start actually wearing, especially once it starts getting warmer out. But I hate the feeling of my thighs rubbing together and I’m worried that tights would look dumb. Would bike shorts or anything similar be a good way to work around that?
I’ll admit I’m usually not super invested in fashion, I’m just starting to think it couldn’t hurt to expand my wardrobe beyond just wearing sweatpants and a Bloodborne T-shirt just about every day.
