I shop on Amazon because I get gift cards for work (camgirl). I'll list whatever I find in my order history - Apologies if it includes anything discontinued. I shop on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca as I am Canadian, so I'll include finds from both.

Loves

Bombsheller octopus leggings - They don't carry these on Amazon anymore, but last I checked, they do allow you to pay via Amazon on their website. The size chart was off when I first ordered them so I exchanged them for a size up, and the company was very accomodating. The leggings are comfy and sturdy.


Jellyfish socks - Adorable and well made. Definitely plan to purchase more designs from this seller.


Snowpants - I don't wear these a lot since I'm more the summer outdoorsy type, but they were excellent for walking my ex's dog in the winter and I still occasionally wear them for running errands on foot when it's really cold out.


Burned velvet leggings - I bought these in "blurple" and adore them. They're slightly sheer, so I wear other leggings underneath (these ones from eBay do the trick).


Anna-Kaci search result link - Anna-Kaci is an awesome vendor with well priced attire. I listed the vendor since the specific items I purchased are no longer available.


Thigh high socks - I have found these cheaper on amazon.ca, but this was the first pair I bought. Cute and sturdy! I now have 3 more pairs on their way!


Zebra print scarf - I was impressed by the quality of this one. I did donate it when I was gifted a similar scarf in black/gray as I try not to keep duplicates of non-essentials, but I would still have it otherwise.


Timberland knee high boots - Bought these in black, and they are probably one of my favorite Amazon purchases ever. If I were to ever re-buy these, I'd go a half size up, as I had to get them professionally stretched once they arrived, but holy fuck I love these boots. Waterproof, and fantastic quality. They're my go-to boots and I wear them more than any other piece of footwear I own.


Underbust belt - I'm not huge on the price tag, only because I once bought a nearly identical one on clearance pre-breast-augmentation. I'm glad I was able to buy this one post-op since the old one stopped fitting though. Will buy in more colors if they ever go on sale.


Booties - Pleasantly surprised by the quality! Will definitely consider buying more if I ever want/need them in different colors. Comfier for longer wear than most of my other heels, too.


Suspender Skirt - I love this thing so much, I bought two more on eBay after buying this one in black. This one's definitely better quality than the other two, though. I'd recommend wearing them with a shorts slip since there's not a lot of length to them. I'm actually really sad that they don't ship this to Canada anymore, otherwise I'd buy a couple more colors.


Beechfield beanie - This is definitely more my style when it comes to fit, but isn't as warm as the cable knits. Definitely one of my go-to hats.

Likes

Wet look batwing top - Surprised by the fit/quality for the price. Fabric looks/feels a bit cheap but overall the piece is well made.


Chunky cable knit beanies - I ordered this hat in olive, mustard, and teal. They're comfy, warm, and feel well made. I find them to be a little too bulky for my head, so I'm trying to stretch them out/break them in a bit. Definitely personal preference though, and not a quality issue.


Glitter loafers with spikes - They're gorgeous, but not high quality. I'd put them under "meh" for lifespan, but I did love them up until they started falling apart.


Holo creepers - I really need to wear these more, but my day-to-day fashion is much more casual and I don't party like I used to. Working my way towards wearing them more. The quality is decent but I don't think they'll last forever.


JollyChic search result link - JollyChic is great for cheap-ish stuff. I've bought from them a number of times and rarely been disappointed. Some of their synthetic stuff smells chemically at first (shiny leggings being one) but the smell dissipates after a couple washes. Their customer service is also stellar. Shared the search results since the specific items I ordered are no longer listed.


Iron Fist sweater - Bought in a size small, fits more like a medium. Will be shrinking it.


Waist belt - Great quality for the price (~$13CAD if I recall correctly). Fit is a little stiff, so it can look a little boxy with some outfits as it isn't flexible around curves, but overall still nice.

Meh

Faux fur vest #1 - Not the worst quality, but definitely felt cheaper than a couple other vests I own. Ended up selling it since the size chart was off and I didn't love it enough to exchange it for the right size.


Faux fur vest #2 - Slightly lower quality than #1, but same deal - Size chart was inaccurate, but not worth exchanging so I sold it.


Thermal leggings - Smelled awful at first, but it went away overtime. They are still pretty warm even after washing/wearing them for a couple years now, but they pill, so they're not the most aesthetically pleasing. Great for layering, but would not buy again.


Skull cardigan - It's cute and cozy. I wear it around the house more than out, since I noticed after washing it that the bottom corners started curling up a bit due to shrinkage. Also wish it was a tad bit longer.


Spiked slouch beret - The creases are a little harder than I wanted/expected, so I'm trying to stretch it out/break it in a bit. I have other hats that I like more though, so this one doesn't get a lot of love and might just end up being donated.


Leg warmers - Quality-wise, they should be in the "loves" section, but I bought these back when I was on a wild spree to better prepare myself for winter, and while I do love how warm they are, the patterns/colors just aren't my style.


Digital print tanks - The quality is about what I expected for the material, but I found the fit to be off on most of them (especially in the armpit area). I modified a few for a better fit, but mostly I wear them as slips now. The material is perfect for layering under sweaters that normally "grab" onto cotton camis. They can definitely be found cheaper elsewhere, though.


Fleece lined leggings - I bought these in damask, which I guess is no longer available. They're completely matted on the inside now, and not what I'd call "fleece lined" anymore. Still pretty on the outside, but definitely no good for warmth.

Downright Awful

OURS vendor search results - Seriously, don't buy anything from OURS. Their photos are stolen from other brands and the quality of their clothes are laughably poor. I threw them away rather than donate them because I knew that they would never be rebought, even at thrift store prices. They were the worst. Woooorst.


Bikini - The shittiest shit that ever shitted. Everything about it was just awful.

As another similarly gendered person, (I ID as neutrois/neutral gender) I can get behind this statement.

It is really hard to dress "other gendered" because so much just gets shoved into binary boxes. My best guess would be mixing masculine and feminine stuff, or picking clothes that are considered feminine on dudes and masculine on women. Or just pioneer your own style with clothes you like!

I personally am a huge fan of sleeveless turtlenecks, and stretchy, clingy, form-fitting clothing combined with sturdy boots and black slim fit jeans. I use a utility thigh pack and a belt full of pockets to carry things. If the weather is cold, I like to layer with off the shoulder long sleeve shirts, exposing my shoulders but covering my neck with the turtleneck underneath.

I also really love jackets with long sleeves and thumb holes, and long or double breasted coats. Top off my outfit with a great hat! I like newspaper boy hats, train conductor hats, and fiddler caps. Also accessorize with a chain on my glasses.

Fleece lined tights would be a great smaller gift to give your friend. They are black and opaque, which I think would be quite suitable for professional attire aaannndd they have the warm fuzzies of a sweatshirt hugging your legs. Be sure to check the size charts of any of these products so you get her the right size.

I feel like clothes wise, she should be fine with anything she brought from California. Skirt and a suit jacket? Well, put on those fleece tights. Thermal underwear under clothes can also keep you very warm. Scarves can help with drafty environments both indoors and outdoors. A long pashmina can pretty much be used as a blanket without looking crazy.

Once it starts snowing she may want to get snow boots, so she can switch up what she's wearing on the streets vs. indoors. I love anything by Sorel, these boots are warm, waterproof, and cute!

Accessorizing and layering is the biggest part of staying warm in the winter. You could also go the mom route and get her a nice hat and gloves set so you know she's not freezing her fingers off! Hopefully I provided you with some helpful options. You're a very kind friend to do this for your friend's birthday!

Beret with knit cuff.

I bought this one last year, which now apparently only comes in red, but it's awesome!

One of these knit berets.

This any good?

I decided to do this costume when he first appeared. Im pretty sure I found the exact head cover.
AN Aqua Blue Diamond Pattern...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBP48OM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

The rank says E8 which is either a First Sergeant(1SG) or a Master Sergeant(MSG) neither of which is an officer. I don't even know what SSS would stand for.

Second that is definitely not a CAC no idea what thats even supposed to be. CAC pictures are in OCPs not ASUs and he's not wearing an officers epaulettes so at least his uniform matches his pay grade but thats about it. If it matters he's wearing the infantry blue cord so if he says he's anything other than infantry that's a big red flag. Also if the collar devices aren't crossed rifles then he's not wearing the infantry MOS devices on his collar but is wearing their cord which would be another dead giveaway. Should be left collar the right will be a US insignia.

You can google the ranks but enlisted soldiers wear rank on their arm and officers on their shoulder and beret. Also a US beret should look like this I've never seen a civilian get it right so if he's bullshitting it'll be wrong. The insignia part (the flash) should be over his left eye with the fold on the right.

Hope this helps.

1. I'd definitely pay off all of our credit card debts and put the rest into savings.
   
   2.) Since we moved, we've been living on a mattress on the floor. We have a guest pull out and a couch and all that, to make our living space comfortable, but we're using our Christmas money to finally get to our bedroom. To answer this question, I'd just say a bedroom set. I've got a bed, dressers, nightstand, and bookshelf picked out at Ikea. :)
   
   3.) This one looks baller!
   
   5.) Your lady has awesome taste! And her list seems like a lot of fun wants... Why not get her something for cold weather that's as fashionable as she is? (And you can always tuck one of those bracelets inside!)
   
   7.) I'm still fairly new to this sub, but /u/cera_cyanide made my all emotional this morning by choosing me in her post AND she also kept me company for my grueling run/walk on the treadmill after I woke up still sick today. She's da real MVP.

I am super happy today also! I got a phone call and was offered a summer internship! Yay!

I think this is pretty reasonably priced.

Something about me you didn't know is that I love the sound of falling rain.

Rød grød med fløde

this is for the first one because it is wine colored! :p

this is for the 2nd riddle.... this might be pushing it.. haha but a broom keeps your house clean which keeps you healthy. this item will keep me healthy so it's like the broom! hahah

this is a hat and it has ears! :D

this is so I will be able to see my kindle in the dark!

A trunk can hold objects and such and this can hold all of my jewelry so that is how they are similar! :)

this is like a cape.... but for your legs! hahah

thank you!
