Check out Vinted next time you're in Europe (presume you don't have it in the US or this is where you'd be selling your stuff!). It is the best, it takes about two seconds to list something, things usually sell really fast and easily (it's huge here in the UK), you get paid into credit into your account… which you can cash out, but my favourite part is you can then use your credit to buy more stuff – which makes it feel so circular. It's pretty much the only place I buy kids' clothes, and there's none of that hell is other people stuff because it seems to be a great community so far.
First time commenter, I used to LOVE reading NBB and I was delighted to find you on substack recently. Now you have delivered a recommendation for (seemingly) the exact pants I have been searching for this month. My delight continues!
Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I was recently perusing FB Marketplace for pants, which is my new part-time job, because after *mumblemumble* years of health issues, it’s probably time to admit that 1) I’m just a lot bigger now and 2) two pairs of pants that actually fit is not enough. And I came across a listing that was titled “Dress pants” and I clicked, and it turned out to be… “One piece like a dress, but with pants.” It was a jumpsuit, is my point, and THAT person lost the term jumpsuit SO ENTIRELY that they just gave up and called it “dress pants,” which is a whole ‘nother thing. I’m still mad about it, evidently. (The only thing worse is when something has sequins and it’s listed as “sequence,” but I digress.)
the quince candles DELIVER, sorry to say
Oh noooooo, now YOU are the enabler!!!

Oh that sounds good! Kind of like Poshmark maybe? I keep hearing horror stories about Poshmark so haven't tried it yet, but Vinted sounds great!
Ooh I just had a look as haven't heard of Poshmark. Yes looks similar!

Aw, thank you so much! I hope you love the pants!
