What up Philly

Thanks for doing this Lady/Cheese!

Maybe for the folks that don’t like fashion, we could do a “Fashion Friday” thing, where there’s a Friday megathread dedicated to fashion? Just a thought. And just to clarify, does fashion pertain to just clothing, or does it include makeup/nail polish/jewelry, etc?

That’s me and jaffa cakes haha

I feel ya. I procrastinated on it so long this year, which is unlike me - I usually send everything to my tax guy in like early February. But I just got it done this past Sunday. I’m proud of you for tackling this! And please don’t see yourself as a failure. Everyone goes through transitional times and you’ll figure out your next stage, just be patient with yourself. 🤍

It’s not the kind of clothing I’d normally wear myself, but assuming this is for some sort of business event, I’d probably tuck it in and roll the sleeves up to my forearm, then add a slim belt, slim silver bangle, and black blazer with the sleeves cuffed, and probably pair it with Chelsea boots. Maybe add a delicate silver necklace.

This is helpful, thank you so much! 🤍

Ahhhh this is massive!! You’ve been a great mod, setting this comm up and making sure it gets off the ground with interesting posts. We appreciate your hard work!

Love

Thanks Cheese!!

Here’s the other hand:

Hmm… gray, grunge, dated. But I love it!

I like this. Grunge chic!

I’ve spent 3 hours painting my nails this afternoon and am only done one hand! But I really wanted to practice reverse stamping so it’s time well spent. I need to work on my placement and alignment but I’m pretty happy with them so far:

It’s going well! I told my laundry it would have to wait until tomorrow for me to fold it (which is super unlike me). Got a great workout in and now I’m painting my nails!

Forgot to say - I’m assuming you want black tea, but RoT and Adagio both have good oolong, greens, and whites.

Republic of Tea is pretty solid for people just getting into looseleaf. Also Adagio, but I prefer their non-flavored teas (the flavored ones can be kinda intense/artificial).

If you’re just looking for a solid black tea and don’t care too much about it being looseleaf, you could check out Yorkshire Gold. It’s what I drink most days and you can get it on Amazon.

Holy shit that’s a loooooong article

Holy Moses, this is a great list! I can’t wait to dig into these. And you alphabetized it! :)
