I started my journey with ethical consumption about 8 years ago, just as I was getting into the blogging space. At that time, it was trendy for everyone to post their daily #ootd and wear, what to me, looked like brand new looks, every. Single. Day. My small wardrobe and even smaller bank account just couldn’t keep up and the idea that we needed to be showcasing brand new looks and trends before they were even a thing was terrifying to me! I started to look for more inspiration in the form of slower fashion bloggers and capsule wardrobe enthusiasts—those who seemed to know their style and weren’t afraid to show that they wore items in their wardrobe more than once.
