Turtlenecks, big coats, nice boots and the friends and community ive found.
In that order
I'm very grateful that I've found a creative outlet that has given me a lot of internal happiness and confidence. And of course the community that is constantly inspiring my own sense of style
Im thankful for shirt
Also the confidence dressing better has given me
Also started wearing bigger and looser things so also thankful that I can be comfortable and happy with what I'm wearing!
Also thankful for this community and the fashion community as a whole. Known some of you for almost 10 years now and very grateful for that.
Thankful that fashion motivated me to make a change in my living. After 15 years of living a very unhealthy lifestyle in relation to eating, the motivation to present myself as the person I feel I am was what finally broke this streak. I'm sure this process has added years to my life, as well as brought me a confidence and satisfaction with life I don't think I would have found otherwise.
I'm also thankful for the fact that I'm able to indulge in this practice comfortably. I come from a background that's allowed me to explore this hobby freely and happily. I'm grateful for what I have, wanna acknowledge the privilege that comes with it, and I hope that I can continue to give back to those around me.
Family and friends. All the great people in my life.
Modern medicine that has enabled me to lose 50 lbs this year, reverse metabolic syndrome, and start exercising.
And pie. 🥧
I'm thankful for MFA I love you bbs ❤️
Im thankful for my dad, Dries Van Noten
I'm thankful for mail
I'm also thankful for this community because it inspires me and motivates me to put more thought and effort into the way I dress
And finally I'm thankful for people that sell their nice clothes to me for little money
I'm thankful for all the people who aren't as visible in fashion. The farmers growing cotton, hemp, flax sheep n goats, the weavers, factory workers, pattern makers, mail people, they're carrying the whole operation on their backs
thankful.

For a bunch of lefties, MFA sure likes milsurp. 😀
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Swagless
I’m grateful for the big pants, big tops, big coats, and big hearts of this community. For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope that you get to eat some yummy food and see people you love today. For everyone else: I hope the same I guess, just less festively.
I'm thankful for the pandemic for making people continue to dress so horribly I haven't had to update much to stay better dressed
Thankful for clothing brands that carry sizes for short people like me 🙏
Where are you finding fatigues lol
I also may acquire some for the liberal agenda.
Everywhere, on my way to work this morning I tripped over 10 pairs of orslows it's horrible
if you want legit surplus ones eBay is where it's at, other sites like Etsy can be good to but you gotta be a bit more careful
I'm grateful for eBay and black Friday sales.
I’m thankful I’m even in a position where I can buy clothes as a hobby
thankful for clothing being a form of outlet as someone who chronically feels the need to express theirselves in some shape or form
I’m thankful that fashion has been something I get to share with many important people in my life; as a means of creative exchange, mutual obsession, lighthearted excitement, and finding out something deeply personal about someone, fashion is a way i get to be close to people I love and in turn be shaped by them.
I'm thankful for community, internet and irl.
Thankful that getting into fashion has allowed me to build more confidence and made me feel less self conscious about my body than I ever have before. I owe alot to all the people here for motivating me, guiding me and uplifting me.
Also thankful for good socks
All the wholesome stuff I feel has already been said so imma just say wide pants 
Thankful that fashion isn't something I have to figure out all at once and that it can keep changing and growing as I do. Also thankful for the welcome of this community.
I’m thankful for MFAD, y’all are a really fun and inspiring community to be part of!
Thankful for my friends who are the real reason I have always been confident in what I wear
