/fa/ - Fashion

Hi /fa/, I really don't post this to offend or come off as a snobby person but I had a question about receiving gifts (specifically clothing). How do you respond when you receive something you don't like?...

I realize that it's the thought that counts and I am always grateful for the effort and appreciate gift. However, when I give gifts I always put a lot of thought into them and do extensive research on what the person likes and how I can gift them something that at worst would receive a neutral response.

I am specifically speaking about my mother in particular, she has the absolute worst taste in clothing. She knows I am very /fa/ and she even knows where I shop and the brands I wear, yet she never fails to buy some random apparel from obscure department stores... It makes receiving gifts very awkward from her, I also feel really bad when I open the gift and find out it's something I would never wear.

The issue really isn't spending money, I couldn't care less about how much money is spent (as I shop pretty thrifty). It's rather the fact that the same money could simply be used at a store that she knows I shop at.

An example is back when I was in high school I went out shopping with my mom and at the time I was really into PacSun. Because I was into it I directed her there to shop for christmas gifts for my brother. I made it very clear that I enjoyed the store and that I (at the time) wore a lot of their apparel. We purchased extensive amounts of clothing for my brother and that very christmas, she gifted me a department store button up which, 'Reminded me of you'. I hated it and it just felt really awful, I really hated myself for not liking it but I just couldn’t see myself wearing it because of the style and fit…

I again realize this is a very touchy subject, but I feel like it's one that I can't be the only one struggling with...

i'm sorry but unless you guys do some major changes in your appearance you will never look even remotely /fa/.clearly you guys come from /soc/ fishing for some kind of compliments or whatever.all you'll get is roasting,besides why not try rating in the first place instead of just posting and demanding for validation? most of you are ALMOST if not below average(average being a bad thing),can't even seem to choose a haircut that would suit your face/show that you don't give a damn about your skin/choosing angles that only make you look retarded(especially >>11835245 ). bet you dress in clothing that doesn't compliment your body or very poor combinations either...overall i'm very disappointed,considering these are the people i'm sharing the board with. kindly fuck off back to /soc/ .
