Instagram is best legs nude sex videosthe spon con capital of the internet, so if it hasn't convinced you to buy something yet, it probably will eventually.
Here are some things I have purchased after seeing them on Instagram: a ribbed turtleneck sweater, a watering can, a bottle of hot sauce, and a shirt that says "Hot Sandwich." I don't regret buying any of these things, necessarily -- except maybe the hot sauce, which would've been much cheaper if I'd taken one bus ride to an actual store.
But my (mostly) positive experience isn't universal. A friend of mine bought a jacket based on a post from what he later realized was a product aggregation account. The jacket, allegedly a size large, was so small that he could not fit it over his shoulders. His loss was my gain, though: I got a free jacket. I have not worn it yet. Perhaps I never will. It is not very breathable.
