You need money to be /fa/?

>> No.8744785

not a lot but yes

>> No.8744809

You need a shit load of money to buy high end fashion

High end fashion =/= Being /fa/

There is so much evidence of this on tumblr I don't need to post such a thing.

Buy the best you can afford and just have a bit of confidence in yourself and the way you carry yourself.

God knows I've made the mistake of buying some expensive shit thinking I could work it.

Eg. Givenchy skirted shorts, Yohji caveman sweater etc etc

to a certain degree. Being able to shoplift helps a fucking ton tho ;-) But certain items, like a nice leather jacket, cant be shoplifted.

Not a shit-ton but yes. At least enough to buy brand here and there once you have a solid wardrobe.

Taste and creativity are way more important tho. Also thrift shops and sales.

the more money you have, the easier it is, but you can potentially do it without money(or at least not a lot of money)

Must be a shitty country then. Robbing usually implies bodily harm to the victim. If you get imprisoned for defending yourself (assuming bodily hard was intended by the criminal) then fuck living there.

If you have to thank allah for that, then your a fucking idiot

I've never even heard of someone I know being robbed. Maybe that's because very few criminals here have guns because they're ridiculously expensive on the black market and robbery is very rarely committed by the wealthy.

It really, really helps. I thrift and sales hunt but even sales items can add up. I just recently bought $200 worth of clothing; everything had been reduced at least 50% and spent no more than $25 on a single item, but its still $200. If you're doing well for yourself $200 isn't a lot but for a lot of part-time employed college students (like me) it isn't exactly chump change.

If you are oddly sized in any way (especially tall, petite, fat or thinner than average) expect to spend more money. If you are a stickler for fit expect to spend more via tailors. I highly recommend learning a little bit of sewing so you can do simple alterations at home. I recommend seeing a tailor at least once though to learn about their pricing and what they can alter; you'll learn that it can sometimes be cheaper to just have a garment made for you as opposed to having it altered in some cases. I'd never have a $20-$30 skirt tailored, the cost of the alterations isn't worth it when they could make me a skirt for the same total amount; if its in that price range and the alteration isnt too difficult I would rather do it myself. I'm petite so I have made peace with having to pay for a tailor to alter clothing I can't alter myself as well (like coats) as well as the occasional custom made piece.

The best thing you can do to save money and still be /fa/ is as follows:
>thrift shop in expensive neighborhoods
>wait for sales
>learn how to do your own simple alterations
>find a tailor you like and can afford for more intense alterations.
>have clothing you wear around the house to prevent unnecessary wear on your nice stuff
>store your stuff properly and wash it gently
>have a clear idea of the aesthetic you are going for to prevent purchasing pieces that dont match anything
>have a color scheme in mind so everything matches
>don't buy anything unless you really, truly like it and only if you know what to wear it with
>main pieces before accessories

It's not as simple as saying that specific laws and gun control can cause low or high rate for gun crimes. The US is far less homogenous than Australia or pretty much any european country and always had more tension between the communities. This, as well as the size, are mo

In Denmark for example - But not a lot of us in Denmark have guns, only medium-high ranked military people and people with hunting license.

But the worst part is you are only allowed to do self defence - So if you in your home attack the robber first, and he gets knocked out cold, he can demand compensation.

Another scenario could be you have a hunting rifle of some sort, and you shoot the robber to stop him, not self defence (And this is IN your own home!!!), you can go to prison, even though you shoot him in the leg (Killing him will almost guarantee you a prisonsentence)
