Wait, people genuinely buy clothes (although this is more like borrowing) just for the purpose of taking a selfie?

I can't even begin to comprehend how desperate they must be to look good and fit in.

Oh the practise I'm aware of, it was more the application of it which surprised me here. I guess it makes more sense (although that's stretching the definition of sense) when you apply it to influencers (a connection I failed to make initially).
