Reorganize Your Closet

Reorganize Your Closet

Throw every single piece of clothing you own on your bed and fold them one by one back into your closet.

While folding every garment, think about...

  • when was the last time you wore it,
  • if it still fits you,
  • if it brings you joy,
  • if you feel comfortable wearing it
  • and if you have at least three different outfit combinations with it in mind.

If your answer to most of these questions is no, it is clear that this is not the garment for you and you have to let it go.

Donate Your Old Clothes

Shop In Thrift Stores

Shop In Thrift Stores

Thrift stores, or second hand stores are becoming more popular these days, so if you're looking for a specific piece of clothing, or just want to get yourself something nice to wear, find your closest thrift store and spend your afternoon looking for the hidden gems.

You can choose either a store with already selected pieces, that are usually from a famous brand, good quality material or just look good, or a "dig through it" store, where the selection is up to you.

Support local buisnesses

Support local buisnesses

If you're uncomfortable going through thrift stores, or you didn't find the piece you wanted, you can search for local designers, shops and brands in your area. There's nothing more rewarding than buying clothes that was made in fair conditions in your country, it has good quality so it will last and you supported some of your neighbors.

However, prepare yourself... it will be more expensive than fast fashion, but it's worth it.
