I turned 21 recently and I just feel like i'm getting too old. I perfectly fell into the category of the twenty something who cant grow up. It was time for a change.
Plus, 1. being a previous smoker is way more fashionable than current and 2. i would like to spend my money on materialistic things now

I haven't felt this confident in ages, or maybe ever.

when I first came to /fa/ it was because my own interests were already changing; I was beginning to take a serious interest in clothing and shoes, and came to /fa/ because I was excited about the stuff and wanted to talk about it. At that time the old sticky was extremely helpful because it gave a good sampling of some stores I might not have otherwise found. My initial reaction was "woah, overpriced shit." But I warmed up to it eventually. From then on it was a cycle of finding brands that interested me, looking up other stockists, looking at the inventory of those stockists, finding more brands that interested me, etc.

/fa/ itself did teach me a few things, mostly about other styles that I otherwise wouldn't have been terribly interested in. I'm actually very grateful for that. Having a broad perspective about fashion is a lot more enjoyable.

It's hard to gauge how much influence /fa/ had on my lifestyle because, as I say, I was already starting to change my ideas about clothing. But I'd say the influence overall has been positive. Just having somewhere to talk about clothing at any time is great for keeping the enthusiasm high.

Mind over matter, you fat cows.
Do you really want to binge on those greasy, disgusting, fat soaked foods?
You're willing to sacrifice your thigh gap and collar bones and hip bones for 30 seconds of fat in your mouth?
You deserve to be a disgusting fatty pig. Everyone whispers about you behind your back. How those rolls just hang off your frame, how you jiggle when you move, how tight the fabric pulls over your bulges.
You are disgusting. You are subhuman. Of course YOU want to eat, you're a fucking hog.
You seriously are incapable of achieving your long term goals because of your cowlike need to constantly eat, eat, EAT.
The ONLY thing that matters, truly truly matters, in life, is your appearance. This goes double for women. Your personality only matters to you.
If you slip up and gorge yourself like a filthy animal, punish yourself. Purge it all out and go for a run.
Never reward yourself with food. You are not a dog. Don't act like one.

I mean, the texture of the middle left and far right guys' pants look to be corduroy, two left guys are wearing scarves, far left is wearing a full three piece and a wool tie, two middle guys have rolled up sleeves, no one is wearing socks.

I went to /fit/ when I was 18 after quitting 4chan for a year because I was bored of /b/. then my friend talked about going on /fit/ so I went there. i had already been working out. Then I came here about 6 months after that because I went up a size from working out. I'm a basic bitch buying a new season of fast fashion every summer and winter. I'm going to just buy some good clothes that will last a while this winter. Just Americana/neogrunge because I'm too big and tall to look like a brooding teenager still so no monochrome for me.

I'm just making a list of clothes to buy until then.

This is pretty much my story at the moment.

My dad was always really into fashion, used to be a buyer when he was younger, reminisces about how he used to meet with Yamamoto and Gaultier, but I used to think fashion was stupid. I basically wore sneakers, jeans and graphic tees everyday. But I got really interested in music when I was about 12, and I got more interested in fashion. I started browsing Superfuture after a while and got more and more interested, and I started actually checking physical stores for products and learning how clothes are supposed to fit and stuff, and I just started buying and buying - learning about Yahoo!Japan auctions saved me a lot of money, but also cost me a lot of money. I don't really have a defined aesthetic because I find so much pleasure in everything from Acronym to Yohji Yamamoto to Engineered Garments to Maison Martin Margiela. I really don't know, and I legitimately wish I could not care about fashion some days, but that doesn't really seem like an option whatsoever. I remember when all my money used to go towards CDs and LPs, but now that's really an afterthought because literally all the money I get I spend on clothes.

I spent a fuck load of money on clothes because I'm at a point in my life where I've finally got a sense of what I like to wear, could afford to and want a new wardrobe to take to university that isn't worn out as fuck.
It's still the same sort of things as I always wore, just better fitting and more expensive. Plus some cologne, which I never wore before. Not sure I'm insecure enough to wear it regularly though.

I was happy before, new clothes don't make any difference. I'll stop browsing when I'm at uni, I won't have money to spend on this sort of thing.

The biggest positive difference /fa/ has made is that because I spent all my money on clothes, I couldn't spend it on drugs.

Well, im "poorer" now. Less of mammy & daddies money to throw around, but I dress better and have a much better understanding of fashion. I also am getting into fashion shows, and I truly enjoy looking around for the right piece (due to the price difference of the things I want now) rather than impulse buying clothes like I always used to.

I've always been outgoing and stuff, so that hasn't changed much. But still tfwnogf.

+Dress better, got more motivated to get fit, better posture, better hair, better-looking overall
+Get treated better IRL because I look better
-More neurotic; feel self-conscious and uncomfortable going out unless I think I look good
-Stop liking tons of clothes in my wardrobe
-Have less money because frequently buying new clothes
+Spending more money on each piece of clothing has taught me not to impulse-buy
-Become slightly insecure about my height (I'm 5'11" ffs, which is legitimately tall in the UK)

what i mean is most people who do not like fashion at all come here and usually like "dadcore" to start off with and then usually find the bandwagon fashion fads that are "cool" and hop on those and then start using words like #cop and #basic
