how to resist the urge to buy fast fashion... even when they tempt you with the prettiest clothes๐
๐พโโ๏ธ
(and how not to end up with fast fashion brands in your trolley ... pun fully intended๐๐)
1) unfollow them on IG and remove web page bookmarks! : an easy hack to remove them from your life lol๐
Unfollowing & deleting those bookmarks makes it so much easier to avoid checking their new releases!๐๐พ
2) ALWAYS check second-hand sites first: ยฃ2.7 billion is spent on summer outfits worn ONCE each year, so the piece you might have your eye on will probably already be available, or soon available, second hand๐
3) ask yourself, is it just good marketing?: from experience, when I have bought fast fashion in the past it has been an impulse buy because of an ad I saw or some cool pics! ask yourself do you ACTUALLY want/need it or is it just another impulse buy ๐
if you can, try to look for alternatives to fast fashion second-hand or from sustainable and ethical brands and use fast fashion as a last resort! โจ
it is so important to remember that being able to choose to shop sustainably is a privilege as there are many many people who have no choice but to buy fast fashion or shop second-hand out of necessity.
which tip is your new go-to? Let me know below! ๐
why not save this post for when fast fashion comes for you๐คง๐
