Secondhand Sunday

Secondhand Sunday

Is that Christmas in the air, or is it capitalism? There’s no doubt about it: overconsumption degrades the planet. Enter Secondhand Sunday, a new-ish shopping holiday that’s nestled between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s dedicated to all-things thrifted and redirects shoppers away from mass consumption and toward pre-loved items instead.

On today’s show Poshmark‘s Kelly Mason inspires us to think differently about shopping during the holidays.

  1. Hi,

    I love your podcast and am excited to hear the Secondhand Sunday episode as I love shopping in charity shops and online for preloved items. However – the link to the episode doesn’t seem to be there so I can’t listen to it! Don’t know why.

    1. Hi Kate,

      My apologies, I forgot to add the podcast player to the page! (Thanks for alerting me!) It’s all set now; alternatively, you should be able to access the episode via your favorite podcast player (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc). If you’re still having trouble please reach out and I’ll try to help.

      Fondly,
      Stephanie

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[5:30] Identifying exactly where and why capsule wardrobes fall short

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
