I have not yet posted about clothing or fashion on this blog, but I suppose now is as good of a time as ever to divulge that I buy all of my clothes secondhand to reduce the overall demand for clothing on this planet.
This past week I was in Chicago for Lollapalooza. I believe that festivals are one of the greatest place to get inspired by what others are wearing. In preparation for my week long journey I brought along a small bag filled with a few secondhand items to wear. I made sure all of the items would go together so that I could mix and match them which made packing and unpacking at each stop a cinch.
My festival packing list:
- Two pairs of jeans
- Three dresses
- Two tank tops
- One vest
- One set of PJ’s
- Underwear and socks
- One black bag
- One hat
- A pair of booties
- A few pieces of statement jewelry
And thats it! The best part? My day 2 duds landed me on Elle Magazine’s website and my day 3 outfit was the cover image on Women’s Wear Daily! It just goes to show you that living a Zero Waste life does not mean you have to compromise your personal style or the quality of the clothing you wear.
