Painting from the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD), not shoop'd. We only THINK we've come so far in women's purses.-
Also holy crap, I found a way easier way to take semi-full-body pictures ZOMG. Limited by crappy resolution and wireless mouse detection range, though. =|I'm finally at a stage where it's fully necessary to give my entire wardrobe a revamp, because 1) I had no idea how to shop efficiently three (or even one) years ago, and a large portion of what I saved are...erm, unwearable, and kept only for comparative fitting purposes. I also have a shit-ton of clothes I compulsively bought but then never would actually wear.
2) I have a decent reserve of hueg clothes (mostly bottoms that could slip off my ass even as I stand still) that are too wasteful to simply chuck in the garbage. =/ I could probably take one of these pictures for fun and that's about all the use they still have.
The result = that mountain of junk on the back of my couch there, even after picking out the more precious ones I want to get tailored. I'm pretty perplexed over what to do with them. Since most of them are in remarkably good condition, I can probably try to sell them...except I don't want weird people attracted from, say, Craigslist, to randomly know where I live. I also refuse to carry that amount of clothes (we're talking about suitcase-full here) with me to a public meeting spot to show them off to strangers, because...I mean, come on. I could probably donate to Goodwill and be done with them that way. I could also get a sewing machine *gasp* and play around with them myself, except I know that won't happen just like how I know I won't draw or knit and come up with anything fruitful in the near future. Or, I can find a friend who wants a mountain of fabric for maybe 20-30 bucks. 8D
What say you guys?

I really really like this outfit! Are you wearing shorts or a skirt?
I'm super interested in seeing what you got in that pile. I might be interested in a few items..
And about the full body shot thing, does your camera have a self timer? The one you used in your mirror pics.
Hahaha, that is WAY too short to be a skirt. XD Don't be fooled by the high waist; the inseam is like 2" max. This particular pair of shorts I found extraordinary because I can either wear them alone or under a short skirt without leggings, which is something I've been needing for a while.
I'll lug along some of my more presentable pieces the next time I come to the city, then.
And...my cameras suck. 8D The one I used to take the mirror pictures was the same camera I had in Stuy. I don't think that 9-year-old grandpa even has a timer function. And I haven't really bothered finding a good program for my webcam either...so it can't do anything other than basic snapshots.
In NY, there's buffalo exchange, which will pay for your old clothes. Not a lot though. I don't know if they have other branches around the US. Your thighs look delicious.
I have a similar (I guess?) hipster store here called Rag'o'rama that does something similar. Stores in that vein tend to be pretty selective about what they buy back, though...in addition to paying shit, haha. You're overestimating how stylish these old clothes are. =| I think I might just settle for selling to people on campus and then donating the truly shittier ones.
My thighs retain that "once a runner, always a runner" look, pretty unfairly, despite being all flab. 8D I haven't resumed running or anything.
