11: 3 steps to get out of fast fashion

In this episode, I am giving you a three-step process to quit buying cheap, trendy fashion. You’ll discover my own personal process that I used to get of fast fashion (and I truly considered I was a fast fashion addict at the time).

My secret 3-step process:

Take a hard look at past mistakes by assessing your wardrobe
When about to make a purchase, connect emotionally to the people who made your clothes, to the environmental impact, or simply to whether it’s a good purchase for you.
This last step is so freaking easy you won’t believe I even mention it. But it is BEYOND powerful!

So dive in today’s episode and let me know what you found most valuable!

5 : Why we can't rely on the second hand industry forever

Second hand clothes may be a great alternative to fix all the issues related to the fashion industry, but in this episode, I explain to you why we can't rely on it forever.

So here are the major downsides of the second hand industry:

1. Fast fashion is overly produced, consumed and given away, so that's what we find in thrift stores
2. Clothes can't last forever : We will always need to produce new ones (but ideally in a slow fashion approach)

I really hope it will help you create your own opinion about the second hand industry !
