Desperately need to work on the work-life balance. And thanks to a friend asking how to break her social media habit - I suggested setting a social media time. Like: 7:30 - 8:30pm, and make it a rule she can only check it during that time. She liked that idea. Of course... I'm not following it myself. Goals, though.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Balancing Consumption What is Sustainable Fashion?

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Shawna Troyer 10/06/2022 4:53 PM

Seriously... I've been doing this my entire life. I think I was 14 or 15 when I discovered second hand stores and clothing banks, and gleefully dressed myself in pre-worn clothing. It's been 30+ years and I still do this. You can find name-brand or off-brand clothing, already worn to comfort stage (hello, new (to-me) jeans!). There's also upcycling but I'm too lazy for that... Also, if I do buy things new, I tend to wear it till it wears out (I've had tank tops 5+ yrs which I bought new, and still wearing dresses - galabeya's - I bought in Egype in 2004). Also random thing: Fashion Footprint Calculator kicks a 404 error. But googling: https://www.thredup.com/fashionfootprint is a working site.

My Why: Participating gives me encouragement, new resources and things to think about, and a check-list (challenge) of things to learn about or start practicing (or continue practicing). I appreciate it, even if I get too busy to look at my goals.
