Hello everyone,
Often when we hear the phrase "sustainable fashion" a lot comes to mind. I used to think it's something not so sustainable because it's hard to apply or find. However, now that I'm getting more familiar with the benefits of many leading brands providing clothing that offers quality material that helps reduce waste. It's safe to say this is a WIN-WIN situation for the consumer, the brand and our environment too. Happy faces all around!!!😊
This past year I have completely surrendered to buying new clothing items and it honestly has felt so good. Something I never thought I would say, but here we are!!! hahaha Also, when I open up my closet, I almost feel it finally breathing again.😂
I can't hide the fact...this sustainable lifestyle is rubbing off on me. Throughout this time, I have found a few simple ways that have helped me to be a more sustainable consumer, which I would like to share with you today. How do you feel about sustainable fashion? Is it something you have already experience with or are you just becoming aware of?
When it comes to sustainability it's also good to be free of any pests like bed bugs, fleas and spiders. In all areas of our lives, it's great to have that fresh, cleanliness. If you're in search of a service near you, check out pest control south dakota, or a company wherever you are based, in order to solve the issue. Enjoying a pest free home is exactly what you need during each season whether you're looking for a one time service or a regular service plan.
1. Quality over Quantity
Like anything in life quality is so much better. You know it feels different, extra special. Quality pieces feel as if they were made especially for you, fit you like a glove and honestly make your confidence sky-rocket. If you know exactly what I mean sayyyyy YESSSSS!
It completely makes sense why ethical, quality brands have higher pricing. What you receive is an item that will last you more years than something that is fast fashion. I've got to admit, many times my eye is attracted to quality items. They have this glow to them that is hard to explain and even harder to resist! Name a quality purse you bought and you hated! Not Likely...hahaha
2. Support Ethical Brands
Nowadays a lot more ethical brands exist. Not only do they exist, but they have made their mark in the fashion world. BIG APPLAUSE for that! 👏 Supporting them can only help multiply all the good that they are doing. IT's a way to celebrate, acknowledge, and highlight their efforts.
One of my favorite sustainable brands is H&M. I have a feeling it might not only be me who loves shopping there. The pieces there for sure are made to be styled with everything, completely trendy for years to come and of amazing quality. What else could you ask for?
Next time you head shopping, think of the impact you want to make as a consumer. Even if you haven't heard of the brand name before, go for the sustainable option. Most likely you'll end up loving it!
3. Donate/Sell Unwanted Clothing
Don't let the clothing you're trying to get rid off go to waste. You can easily donate it or earn a few bucks selling it. This year I donated two full garbage bags of clothing I no longer used. I was so surprised by how much clothing I had that just took so much space in my closet. Cleaning it all out felt somewhat therapeutic...clean wardrobe= clean mind! hahaha
Also, once you have donated or sold a few of your items try not to go on a shopping craze. Make smarter, more sustainable choices. Your wallet, your spirit and your closet will thank you.
4. Air Dry Your Apparel
Extend the lifetime of your clothing by simply air drying it after a wash. This is something I have always done and it really works. No wonder I used to have clothing from high school that still looked like it was never worn. This easy act makes a great impact on our environment as well. Extra points if you air dry your clothing all year round not only in the summer when the fabrics can dry within an hour.
How are you planning to lead a more sustainable lifestyle? I know at first it can seem impossible, but it can easily become a great habit. One that will change the way you spend your money and help you appreciate the simplicity in being a sustainable consumer. Why not give it a shot?
