how to sustainably build your wardrobe | inspiroue

The key to shopping sustainably is to know what you already own, because the most sustainable pieces are the ones in our closets right now. Here's how I assess my wardrobe to be conscious of what I have, so I can be super intentional when shopping. Open for timestamps:

This process helps me reconnect with the clothing I own! We often crave newness and fall into mindless shopping because we aren't aware of what we already own. Remember, the fashion industry banks on us being disconnected from clothing (this makes clothing easily "disposable" to us which makes it easier for us to buy more).
