Typical that there's NO bookstores or thrift stores within walking distance from where I live, but there is some- what I would call a hoodie mama wear or club wear store close by called- Micos Showroom or whatever. They have pictures outside the store to show what they sell- so, one of the photos is of a woman wearing an extremely tight & short dress and of course, the other photo is, WAIT FOR IT- a woman wearing tight leggings with a crop top or whatever, so we can all see her ass and cameltoe (I've seen plenty of that look for decades from women of different generations). Now I have no problem with leggings, but apparently I'm the ONLY woman in the black community who wears LONG tops! I don't want to sound like miss purity culture or like one of those bougie chicks who goes on and on in videos about who looks cheap vs. who looks elegant, but there is nothing more pick me than PURPOSELY making sure your butt is always showing- they always wear short jackets or their top or hoodie is pulled up in the back. Your value shouldn't be in your backside!
Actually, now that I think about it, some of the bougie ones do dress like that too, when they're in their favorite store- Target or Marshall's- but always running their mouth about girls who wear bonnets, I'd rather see bonnets than butts everywhere!
Anyway, I shouldn't have to travel to other communities to find a Goodwill or any thrift store or a bookstore. There actually used to be a large thrift store on the very next block but of course, they closed many YEARS ago.
Then again, maybe a lot of the people around here don't deserve a bookstore cause I'm sick of wastes of oxygen and their dogs with no leash, outside barking for no reason and having to see so-called men peeing outside when I made the mistake of looking out the damn window....
