Wardrobe Ethics

Item Acquisition Breakdown

When I first started tracking my wardrobe at the beginning of 2019, the vast majority of the items in my closet were fast fashion. The negative effects of fast fashion are well documented, and I have become more mindful in my purchases. Slow fashion now makes up the majority of my purchases since the beginning of 2019. My slow fashion purchases come from brands that align with my values, online secondhand sources (eBay, the Real Real, Poshmark), hand-me-downs from my mom and sister, and local secondhand stores (both thrift and consignment).
