Like I am never going to wear this particular piece because I am too tired to go through the motions of cleaning it at home!!! The tag does clearly say do not dry clean and I respect that I also am too tired to actually do it—all this work! 🥹😭

As someone who thrifts but also does buy vintage clothes online

What's the book about? 🧵

Mizoko Tsuno's You Can't Live All on Your Own! Volume 1 is now available for purchase in print and digital format

I know that I have no Fcuks to give when I open a review with: "Look, I got beef with TokyoPop..." & book ended it w/

Anyway, You Can't Live All on Your Own is a wonderful read.
Thanks for the intro to Mizoko Tsuno!
