Can’t beat a bit of winter sun🌞

November flew by out of nowhere. I’ve never felt like a year has gone so quickly, but has dragged on so much all at once? However very excited to kick off the festive season🎄

BLACK FRIDAY —
As it’s Black Friday tomorrow this is just a reminder to be conscious when shopping the sales. I should say, I’m not telling anyone to not shop, I realise it’s a good time to buy that special item that you’ve had your eye on for a while which was just out of your price range, or to start your Christmas shopping. However it’s easy to fall into the impulse of buying things you might not necessarily need. We also need to be protecting those making these products, who are underpaid and overworked (Again, something I realise isn’t in much of our control, but still something to be mindful of). So, some food for thought:

Is it a bargain if you don’t actually need it? In 2018, 21% of Brits purchased something on Black Friday/Cyber Monday that they later regretted, spending an estimated average of £83 on each of these items. Items returned are most likely going straight into landfill, and adds to our ever growing waste problem. Only buy if you’re 100% sure it will be long standing in your wardrobe. This also goes to buying from more sustainable brands, it might be a good opportunity to buy from sustainable brands which have a higher price point. But is it sustainable if you don’t really need it?

Will you wear it at least 30 times? Fashion needs to become more circular & seasonless, not disposable. On average women only wore an item 7 times, and 1/3 believed the item to be ‘old’ after fewer than 3 wears. If it won’t stand the test of time, don’t buy it.

I also feel like we need to question question brands such as @urbanoutfitters and @topshop why they can host such large sales when they STILL can’t pay their garment workers for cancelled (already made) orders during the pandemic. We need to be asking these questions and making sure those brands take responsibility for their actions (if you’d like to take a bit more action I’d recommend checking out resources from @fash_rev ). Our clothes should never come at the price of someone else.

Happy conscious shopping🤍

Just a little house plant appreciation post, if you can get your hands on a Philodendron Birkin, get it!! They have the most gorgeous leaves and are pretty easy to look after from my experience🌿
