#Repost @citizins ・・・ The Pride Leader #CITIZINS ... #31daysofblackminimalism Day 24 prompt: Show us how you shop consciously. ... What does it mean to #consciouslyconsume? Do you buy out of a need, considering the source and shelf life of materials, or are you a victim of the "Sale Syndrome"? * * Show us how you buy thoughtfully, not just based on price, but also on #carbonfootprint and #sustainability or show us a time when you bought something without thinking. It always comes back to bite us eventually. . . . ... I’ve never really been a shopper. I feel overwhelmed in stores and malls - just so much ‘stuff’. I do prefer to buy expensive things because they last. I like to purchase from folks I have a relationship with like @sznthelabel and @neishaclothing. I have items of clothing in my wardrobe that are up to 10 years old and I still wear them. I do shop impulsively when it comes to visual art. Like music or books, if a work calls to my soul and moves me, I purchase it without question, bring it home and treasure it (even if I don’t yet have a wall where I can hang it all the time) - like this stunning print from @citizins. I could probably give more thought to my carbon footprint ... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8llsZgggQ/?igshid=fp3vrnaudcq
