Jul 19 Effortless sustainable fashion look book

Sustainability, Sustainable living, Eco-friendly

Hey gang,

This is gonna be a short and sweet post and mostly a look book of some sustainable fashion looks I've put together. I'm by no means a fashion blogger but I wanted to share with you guys a bit of my journey. Eco-fashion is definitely the easiest shift I’ve had to make going through this sustainable living journey. If you are looking for eco-friendly gifts check out this blog post!. I haven't bought any new articles of clothing since 2020, began. Mindblowing I know. For someone who used to buy a new outfit for every event, it’s just something that is’’t that important to me anymore.

Everything I've worn has been thrifted, upcycled, pre-loved, or clothes made from sustainable fabric and ethical practices. When I started this journey it was really because I was cheap and tired of spending money on clothes that were bad quality. As I was going through my journey I researched how bad fast fashion is for the earth. Not to mention the unethical practices and wages people have to endure who work in these fast fashion factories. I won't go into detail but will leave you with some eye-opening documentaries to see for yourself. Moving towards the slower end of fashion was easier then I thought. I'm a vintage kind of girl so buying pre-loved was really my scene and I didn't even know it.

A few tips before getting into the lookbook.

Watch some fast fashion documentaries (“The true cost” and “the minimalist” both available on Netflix)
Change your mindset surrounding clothes. Show them love and gratitude.
Declutter often. If you no longer love or wear that article of clothing, sell or donate it. That’s like holding onto negative energy. If it no longer serves you, let it go.
