also the fashion pendulum will ALWAYS swing hard and fast in the cultural west but it's like we've reached a point where the tackiness of bedazzled jeans and pink flip phones with charms hanging off is preferable to kardashian beige and big tech hegemony. and I get it. I'm right there with y'all
I went thrifting yesterday and got a bunch of boho baby doll tops (more 2004-2007 flavored than Y2K, but regardless) because they made me think of high school and are made from 100% cotton, unlike the polyester shit we're being sold today. nostalgia erases memory, TRUE. but is also kinda superior rn
