black summer tailoring
howdy
I just bought concert tickets for days from mid may in nyc to late august in phoenix. the “dress code” for the artist is “formal black attire expected” as the concert is funeral themed. i want to cunt it up and not overheat, so i was thinking flowey/ lightweight black tailoring with a black tank top and jewelry, or something vaguely cunty but unique enough to stand out. budget <200$, but i have unique measurements (42l, 33 waist) so idek. any tips? big fan of 90s armani but i think thats out of my price range

how bad is manhatten thrifting
i’m going to midtown on sunday, wondering if it’s worth it to check out the buffalo exchange, goodwill, 2nd street, and crossroads on 26th, or if it’s just not worth the effort. Additionally, is there any places you do recommend in midtown that are relatively budget friendly? thanx
