The model has joined the Pandora Muses campaign.I no longer think about a quick Saturday shopping treat or a too-much-wine quick-click purchase and my world hasn’t really changed. It’s not that I don’t want to look presentable - nice even - or that I don’t want to feel unstylish, but there are different ways to do it without constantly consuming.I haven’t stopped shopping altogether. The first thing people say when you say you only buyor sustainable fashion, is ‘what about the price?’.
and I’ve also been to a local Repair Cafe to shorten some jeans rather than donate them. Repair Cafes exist all over the UK and you can pop in and be shown how to mend your clothes by volunteers. Apart from anything else, there’s tea and cake and chat and community. Like any good fashionista, I mix and match quality, secondhand high street and vintage bits, some days successfully, other days just about managing.It’s been two years now and my wardrobe has changed. I didn’t do a sweep of everything I already owned, declare it unusable and throw it all away but as and when it’s been time to update or replace items I’ve chosen more thoughtfully, had to save to buy the odd piece and filled out the rest with secondhand.
Nice
