I'll save you the read:

1) People are tightening their belts due to economic and political uncertainty and expensive leggings are not at the top of the list of necessities

2) People are more and more... GASP... Buying second hand clothes !!!!!

And they are super trendy. No one wears that stuff for more than a season. What a waste!

Unfortunately not many people rewear what they’ve gotten from there. I absolutely love forever 21 jeans and have pairs that are 5+ years old and are holding up really well. Even though I like their stuff, they absolutely promote fast fashion so I don’t feel bad seeing them go

I have a couple pairs of black leggings from there that are going on probably 5 years now!! I'm a little shocked but happy lol. If they get ripped I'll just sew em up.

I have a ton of basic items that get weekly use from there. However these items were all bought at least 4 years ago. Now the stuff that I’ve gotten there falls apart after a few washes even when I put things in delicate dryer bags. It’s a shame.

Wait. The delicates bag are for the washer. Delicates get air dried.

I unfortunately live in college housing and don’t have the space needed to safely air dry stuff without it getting moldy. I’ll make sure to do this when I move back home and do have the space!
