First part of the year always feels like such a drab. I’ve been in a bit of a style rut and now that the weather is warming up things are starting to look up! This month, I’ve decided to challenge myself by limiting my monthly purchases. I’ve mentioned on my Instagram about the quantities of shopping I limit myself to per month but this February, I’m cutting that down to 1-2 items. So far the only purchase I’ve made were the cute red vintage loafers you all loved (linked similar versions below). Why am I doing this? Well not only should I continue to consume sustainably by shopping secondhand, vintage, and supporting ethical/sustainable brands but consuming far less is equally as important. Going green has to be about reducing what we buy, reusing, and reworking our habits. This also inspires me to shop my own wardrobe, revive items that I would normally just wear in specific seasons, and make the most out of my clothing.

If you are reading this I challenge you to do the same, if a whole month is too hard maybe start with a week and see how it goes. Let me know if you do this and share with me on Instagram! Would love to see how everyone else is making the most out of their clothes.
