Insanity I think maybe 2 people will even be able to follow. About clothing
So I'm gonna start off by saying that I basically buy 100% od my clothes secondhand and as such, absolve myself from the guilt of buying 'problematic' clothing brands/materials. I like brandy melville and leather and I just let myself have those things, assuming theyre secondhand.
I've always liked brandy and shortly after realising this, I did all this research into it and gave myself a real moral ocd episode over even owning secondhand clothing because I felt like I was singlehandedly causing body dysmorphia in everyone. But alongside that, I also read that the brand name comes from a fictional story where an American girl called Brandy met and fell in love with a british boy called Melville... in Italy. which I guess is why it's always styled with the heart between their names.
Anyway, I told all this to my bf at some point, and he became obsessed with bullying 'melville' for having a stupid name. It's been years now and he often asks me questions like 'what do you think melville looks like?' And just generally speculating on what the brand imagines as their lore
Lately I've been looking at button up shirts, I actually managed to find and get 2 white shirts that it me on vinted. It's been epic because I've always worn shirts that are, realistically, 2-3 sizes too big. And I'm getting kind of a lot too old for that to be ok. I get stressed out as fuck at anything remotely formal, and I feel like in addition to just looking bad, it makes me more 'clocky' ie I look like im just learning how to dress masculinely for the first time.
I discovered that brandy melville has button up shirts that have buttons on the right side. Generally, mens shirts have buttons on the right, and womens on the left. It's easier to find shirts that fit me from the womens section, but i normally don't buy them no matter how well they fit because of the buttons. It's a small detail, but it's extremely important in formal settings and it's the kind of thing where if I were feeling insecure/dysphoric, it would really upset me
I told my bf about all this and how it was probably a 'boyfriend aesthetic' marketing thing
And he nodded and said it's good to know that melville is canonically tiny, too
