Do you think you could have put more work into your A-level or something? I got mine today and got an A* in lit and an A in language :D
I don’t know! I thought I put a lot of effort in, but now I’m thinking of small tweaks I could have made that would have pushed it up to an A so it’s frustrating. :(
And well done! I’m happy for you! :D
About the whole Charlie V thing, which is probably forgotten by now, I should tell you that I had messaged him on lb about it, asking if he's reposting looks, and never got any reply. I'm not sure of the lb rule about reposting obviously posted looks, whether that means one can't repost looks of the same outfit or repost the same photos, but the fact he never gave me any answer for it was disappointing indeed.
Maybe it was something as simple as him not seeing he got a message. I’ve had that problem before with Lookbook’s messaging service.
And the thing is he’s far from the only one reposting looks. I’ve seen plenty of people do it and although that doesn’t make it right, the only reason he gets so much stick for it is because he’s on the leaderboard.
He’s a nice guy so I’d give him the benefit of the doubt on it myself. I can imagine it’s more likely to be a misunderstanding of the rule rather than him purposefully consistently going against it.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way but in response to your height & the treatment you receive because of it, I think perhaps your sweet style yoked with your height could evoke the patronising comments. I have a similar style to you but I'm 5"6, though I still find myself on the receiving end of 'you're so cute & dainty.' It shouldn't be the case but people will always respond to looks first and I think if you dress sweetly as an 18/19 year old, you'll always encounter those remarks.
I can understand why you say that and it probably does play some part in the patronisation sometimes, but the thing is I still receive that kind of treatment and attitude if I’m having a day where I’m just wearing a plain collared shirt and jeans or if I’m wearing heels and a bodycon dress if I’m going out to a club. So as much as my style of clothing probably doesn’t necessarily help, I don’t think it’s really the cause either.
