World’s Worst — Starting 2026 Outside
To start off 2026, Nie’s Closet headed back to my hometown, Sacramento, CA for my first vending event of the year.
This one meant a lot to me.
I went alongside my friend @in8ctive (also known as @theinsaneclothing), and this was his first ever vending booth. At the same time, it was my first one of 2026, so it felt like we were both stepping into something new together. I also had my cousin Liv and my friend Julian with me, which made the whole experience feel even more solid.
We left at 2:30 in the morning for a 10 a.m. event — about a four-hour drive. We planned to get there around 6, but ended up arriving closer to 6:30. Still, pulling into Sacramento that early, knowing what we were there to do, felt surreal.
This trip was also the first time I met Kellan in person. We had known of each other before, but this was the first time actually connecting face to face. Not long after, we were running a joint booth together. It all happened naturally, like everything aligned how it was supposed to.
Being back in my hometown, vending, building connections, and doing what I love — it reminded me why I started Nie’s Closet in the first place. It wasn’t just about selling clothes, it was about community, creativity, and creating space for myself and others.
This event felt like the start of something bigger.
Going into this year, I still plan to continue vending and showing up in person, but I also want to grow my online presence more. I want to be more active and more consistent, and really build Nie’s Closet beyond just events.
I’m also really excited to finally be on my last couple bins of clothing. Moving forward, I’ll be stepping more into creating pieces by me and focusing on my own work. I’m not putting a strict time limit on anything — I want to build it the right way.
Starting the year like this showed me what’s possible when I really go for it.
I’m grateful for the people around me, the connections I’m making, and everything that’s unfolding.
