i think as she has the money to buy anything she wants and has a history of hauls. I'd rather she didnt go thrifting tbh. By all means buy some secondhand if its for genuine eco reasons but it is people like her that according to many eco youtubers are 1 pushing the prices up in thrift shops and 2 taking affordable and cheap clothing access away from those who are less fortunate

I don’t think it was proper thrifting that she was doing, I think she goes to vintage shops in expensive areas. I don’t think she goes to charity shops unless it’s in the posh areas of london

There is a huge over abundance of second hand clothes. There's enough second hand inventory for everyone in the world multiple times over. I don't think you can blame shoppers for driving prices up because the supply can more than handle it - a large portion of donate clothes are shipped to landfills or dumped in foreign markets.

I blame a combo of greedy capitalistic thinking that prices should be as high as they can get away with, and a skewed perspective of what fair pricing looks like that comes from the artificially low price of fast fashion. If a second hand shop is paying a fair wage for the processing of inventory and that makes the price come out high compared to the original retail, that's a problem with the original price.

interesting. TBH my second point was the far more concerning.. thrift stores - as someone who volunteered for 10 yrs and was also an Assistant Store Manager of one do not put the majority of what they recieve out for sale for one reason or another.. you may have seen me comment on other threads here where i say we used to have a £1 rail which customers went nuts for. Raised a lot of money and also helped people get clothes for cheap. They ponced up our store and wouldnt allow it anymore. now when you go past there is hardly any customers and primark £3 tshirts are sold for £10 among other ridiculous prices..

at the end of the day unless she's buying for her daughter or she actually IS pregnant again Jess has more clothes than anyone would need in an entire lifetime

Jess is the whole reason I found gossip forums. She posted a pic with a guru gossip tab on her laptop showing and got called out. She said she liked to keep up with what was being said about her. I wonder if she reads here 😂

Funny enough sometimes I use this site for work. 😂 Just to see the negatives around content creators and if I really want product going to them. It's a great way to balance out their own likes/comments.

At least she was self aware at one point.

Her archiving her clothes and books is just a pretentious way of saying she's a hoarder.

Especially with how she seems to just do it with EVERYTHING. If she put away particularly special/valuable pieces in the hopes that Indie or Ines might enjoy them someday, that would be one thing, but she hardly ever seems to donate anything compared to how much she hoards.

Yeah it's wild like surely you can't like all of these pieces that much? And especially with something like a basic solid-colored item, she could always repurchase something like it (even if not the exact same thing) should she miss it. That's how I've gotten myself to clear out a lot of items that I once loved but honestly never wear anymore - worst case I could repurchase something similar if I missed it (but I never do)
 
I can understand archiving (lol) special items but why hold onto those mens flannels and shapeless sacks that she loooooves to buy? Just to give you an idea of her obsession (these took me less than 5 mins to find from her recent videos, which means she's got a problem)
