The Wish I Wish Tonight
Heeeeeyyyy. Going easy on myself as I ease back in to the rhythm of posting, so not going to try to write a dissertation tonight, just sharing a list of clothing things I have loved recently. I am in actually really horrible financial straits right now, so if you know anyone who’s hiring a stylist, copywriter, editor, or hooligan, please let me know, ‘cause god, do I want to be able to start living my life as a human being instead of a physical manifestation of a truly unthinkable amount of debt.
Also, if you’re a brand (wow, you’re sentient, impressive!) or work for one, I will gladly try your clothes/accessories/designer drugs (jk…Unless?) out for you and if they are up to snuff, happily shill them in as shrill a shill voice as I shall be able to.
Basically, I want to be able to keep working in the fashion sphere, no matter what sector I’m in, and I want to keep being able to love clothes instead of feeling helpless in the face of prices that genuinely don’t compute in my brain. I know that’s a privileged desire, and I’m not saying it’s righteous, but it’s mine. I love picking clothes out of the entropic heap of the universe and writing about them for you. I also LOVE to hear your thoughts, especially in the comments, even if they’re combative or vexing (if you are the literal Sphynx, though, send riddles via DM, plz).
If you like these posts, please let me know by liking and commenting here or on HR’s Instagram, subbing to the HR Substack (this) for as little as two bucks a month, one dollar per bonus post (subsidized subs available HERE) or for ZERO DOLLARS, share (tag me if on IG so I can see and thank you)!
Thank you SO MUCH for your support, whatever you are able and willing to do to help is extremely valuable to me and I’m honored to be a small part of your life on the web.
Film still if Wong Kar-wai had a foot fetish
Braided loop as neckline + underbust got me, bubble hem sold me
Cartoon shoes so well-shaped and cheeky that the damning URL placement just makes me laugh
A mesh shirt I can wear braless and feel both like I won’t get arrested AND I’ll still offend the correct demographic, DIY friendly
Femboy uniform steeze

What the hotties of Hyrule wear to the clurb
I’ve wanted this since the moment I saw it, this one is DIY friendly too
The color of a scarf one of the coolest people I’ve ever known knit that I still think about years after we last saw each other, one of my few memories from my cursed months living in Portland, OR
My mom told me she had a dream last night in which I said I was a princess, if I were, this would be my uniform (though at this rate, prince is more likely)
Two things I can’t resist: a twofer and the chance to look like a beleaguered businessman (I’d leave the tie undone)
Something about this screams “Would you still love me if I were a worm” I will not be explaining any further
You know how I feel about extraneous straps (good)
Me wanting to go back to the womb so I can emerge the child of Lenny Kravitz (in this scenario, Lenny Kravitz is mpreg, if you don’t know what that means, DON’T LOOK IT UP)
An amazing, evocative adaptation of an iconic scene from one of my favorite movies
Dag nab it you all know I want one of these stupid links bags already, I’m sorry I called them stupid, they’re cool, please someone give me a hand-me-down
I used to be a sailor, no really, I might have peaked at age 10 when I almost won the big end-of-summer race and my stupid boom vang got caught in its cleat so I lost and ok I think I have some stuff to work through here
I told you, spikes are it right now
This dress would make me feel like a good little girl, when I am none of the three

Bury me in this (bottom)
One of the best clothings I’ve ever seen, by a designer (Dauan Jacari) so cool and prolific I saw him on the Instagrams of unrelated people from both NYC and BsAs within one week, he will be everywhere veeeeery soon if not by the time you read this
Good night!
