#thesis talk#also i had a really nice lunch and there was a little fair with a few thrift shops?#so i got really cheap vintage oxfords (guessing the 90s) with a block heel#ive seen this style before but its always a few sizes too small so this was super nice#i can wear it with my kilt and red sweater (both my mom's from the 90s actually) and just like. straight up pass for my mom 30 years ago#it'll be very nice for lolita too. and like everything else. really happy with this find :)#sometimes a successful day is less about getting stuff done and more about a lucky thrift find and learning to id silk by touch#speaking of which i got to touch real silk velvet today...#theres a vintage shop here whose owner is a fashion design prof and everything and she has really nice stuff#like true vintage impeccable condition clothes#so like of course its waaay more expensive than regular thrift stuff but also fast fashion prices are just outrageous these days so#in the end its not that bad all things considered#anyway i think i only ever bought like two clothes there ever but the owner's really nice and she knows i'm really into this stuff#and she was saying how to id silk / silk blends by rubbing it on itself and feeling the specific dress#i absolutely dunno how to explain this im sorry#(and im already kinda familiar with silk bc ive got some lucky thrifted items but it was great to like really understand what to look for)#and she was showing some examples and she had this black velvet stole#and let me tell you silk velvet is just a whole other level#my mom hatessss the texture of velvet but turns out she just hate the cheap poly stuff#its just very nice and plush. it feels like velvet should#the platonic velvet in your brain? that's it. really cool really nice
