043: Slow Fashion in a Fast Fashion World
Since when did our wardrobes become disposable?
Think about it. These days, we buy new outfits for new occasions, wearing them just a few times before donating or discarding.
We also add inexpensive, trendy items to our closets without a second’s thought; because these items cost almost nothing, we aren’t surprised when they last for just a few wears.
Let’s face it: Clothing is cheap. So cheap, in fact, that puny price tags contribute to the notion that clothes are just another disposable 21st Century commodity.
On this week’s episode we identify EXACTLY WHY fast fashion is so terrible; then we outline a better way.
My guest this week is Erin Polowy of My Green Closet. She’s a big voice in the conscious clothing movement + she offers 7 incremental tips for building an intentional wardrobe.
