Rec | ANTI-REC: TOTE BAGS

👜

Don't get me wrong. They can be practical and I'm sure at some point I'll have to use one in some other context that isn't buying groceries. But I'm tired of people who treat it like it's a statement piece in fashion. They ruin their outfits with it and they try (and fail) to manipulate me into thinking I need it. It's very ugly. I'm so sorry to the people who use it genuinely thinking it looks good with their outfit. 😭 Every time a person is trying stuff on in a video and they finish it with "of course my iconic tote bag couldn't be left out" or something like that, a fairy dies.

Anti rec: having narrow shoulders

• bra straps never stay up • shirts with straps are constantly falling • wide neckline means the top is now off the shoulder • the only hand bag that stays on correctly are cross body bags • tote bags are a nightmare • sometimes backpacks straps are too wide and you have to hunch over to keep the straps on I’m wishing I had just a little more shoulder so I could casually show off my tote bag collection without being inconvenienced.

ANTI-REC: REUSABLE PLASTIC BAGS

want to preface that i don’t hate the concept of reusing them. my issue is that at this point, they are starting to feel like a regular plastic bag and i have too many in my closet now. i would rather a store that doesn’t use plastic bags invest in paper bags because then i have more uses for it. love Trader Joe’s bags because not only can i recycle them, i can use them for other things like shipping small packages, compost, or using it as kindling for fires. most reusable bags from the store are single use and can’t be recycled efficiently again. especially with using meal or grocery delivery services, sometimes the restaurant invests in a plastic reusable bag with cute branding that im NEVER going to use, or an aldi instacart order and the shopper gives me reusable bags instead of grabbing cardboard boxes to hold the food. i am in a conundrum here and i want out 😂 its getting to the point where i want an actual plastic bag so that i can at least use it to deep condition my hair or recycle it at the grocery store

BACKPACKS

i know totes are the bag, i get it. but it's not practical for those of us with the shoulders of a limp snake to have a bag that is marred by gravity's vindictive lack of remorse.
