Fashion & Mental Health 〰️ As the dark & cold

Fashion & Mental Health 〰️

As the dark & colder days roll in I can feel the winter anxiety and fatigue settle in and I start to spend more time scrolling on clothing sites and social media looking for something to give me an ounce of serotonin. We’ve all been there.

But this dopamine hit never lasts. In fact we tend to feel worse off afterwards. But Capitalism and social media makes us believe that the more things we own, the happier we will be. And fast fashion brands have pushed this narrative on us for years in glossy adverts and flash sales. But, although these clothes have a temporary impact on our lives, they have a life long impact on the planet and garment workers and we should be more conscious when making these purchases.

Here are some things to consider before you buy something:

• Will I wear this at least 30 times?
• Would I still want this if I waited a week?
• Am I shopping purposefully or as a distraction?
• Could I find this second hand?
• If this item broke, would I want to mend it?
• Will this item really make me happy?

Have you found yourself aimlessly scrolling on clothing sites more? Do you have any methods for battling this?

5 Greenwashing Red Flags To Look Out For ~ I’m

Good morning ☕️ Trying to spend more time off

Good morning ☕️ Trying to spend more time off social media at the weekends recently because, especially being in sustainability/environmental spaces, the internet can be very draining and I’m definitely guilty of doomscrolling. After seeing @venetialamanna do #offline48 i thought I’d give it a go and I can’t say it was 100% successful but even those few extra hours have been great.

So here’s your reminder to get outside, do something that makes you happy and squeeze your friends 🌞

Sustainable Fashion Podcasts ~ I love a good podc

Sustainable Fashion Podcasts ~

I love a good podcast, they are the resource I constantly turn to for learning more about sustainability and fashion activism. So I compiled a small list of a few of my podcast recommendations if you’re looking to learn more about sustainable fashion:

〰️ @rememberwhomadethem // a campaign and 6 part podcast which celebrates garment workers and discusses how we can show solidarity to those who make our clothes and demand change.

〰️ @thewardrobecrisis // Discusses the issues we are facing in the fashion industry and how we can change this.

〰️ @sustainablyinfluenced // A great one if you’re new to the terminology or concepts in sustainability (not strictly sustainable fashion however have some amazing sustainable fashion episodes)

〰️ @commonthreadspodcast // Exploring ways we can build a better fashion industry that puts people and the planet first.

〰️ Ethical Fashion Podcast // Looks at how fashion can be a force for good and how we can focus on sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry.

Any other recommendations please let me know 🌿
