👛The problem of overconsumption👛
In this era of the world, trends are passing by quicker than ever, and to keep up brands have adapted fast-fashion to their production to produce more, for less time and money. Unfortunately tho, if we're paying cheap for a t-shirt, there's someone else paying the expensive price of their health due to the awful conditions adults and children are forced to work for very little money to feed their families.
How can we help? Stop buying from brands that support wars, child labor, and unethical work conditions. Switch to second-hand and thrift shopping, where you can find vintage and stylish pieces often for cheap prices (like on Vinted)! You're not only doing a favor to these kids but to the environment too: since the West increased exponentially the request for goods; fabric dye, plastics, and other very polluting materials are being produced and often dismissed in nature. Stop feeding into the over-consumption monster that harms the environment, the workers, and us financially and psychologically!
Things to consider while shopping:
Do I need this?
Is this going to last?
Can I style this with at least 3 different pieces?
Can I see myself wearing this in the next 3 years?
Does this brand support child labor?
Will I feel confident wearing this in public?
Am I only buying it because it’s trending?
P.S. Hello everyone! I'm back after a long break with a new style of blogging, let me know if you like it. This is a very heartfelt topic so I appreciate all the support! How is summer vacation going?
Stay safe💞
