  1. Toss in some family pictures of some randoms and like a card or something written in Cyrillic saying how his dear dedushka, who recently passed away, wished for him to have this coat (marked at a 50 dollar value in case customs thinks a gift is too dodgy) as a sentimental piece to remember him by

  2. I have a hard time reconciling between what I think to be the 'product-oriented' side of fashion where you look for interesting, wearable, nice quality stuff that fills some sort of hole in your wardrobe or that you aimlessly collect and build outfits around with the more 'intellectual' side of it where the designer or whatever is selling you a story or lifestyle that you buy into and hopefully resonates with you. I've been looking more into the latter and trying to have a more meaningful relationship with my purchases and trying to understand what exactly I'm buying into but I always feel a bit embarrassed lurking conversations on brands I already own and realising I only have a mediocre understanding of them. Sure I might look at the runway show/lookbook, see designer interviews and lurk a couple of threads on sz but I just never seem to really connect with 90% of it. I'll usually just end up looking at the clothes individually in the hope of finding something interesting I might wear. Maybe it's because I don't really know what I want to look like beyond "I'd wear sneakers more than dress shoes in this stage of my life" kinda thing because I only recently started caring about how I looked like but I just don't know how the people usually posting in the runway threads seem to click with and understand what the brands are putting out. They also seem to be the ones who usually have a concrete vision of where they want to take their wardrobes and it kinda makes me jealous.
