When I invested in my first slow fashion piece I almost passed ahwhey…dropping $100+ dollars on one shirt felt like a tragedy when you’re recovering from fast fashion. Buying differently has been my mission ever since I started my sustainable fashion journey. Investing in better quality clothing was important to me, and doing it with brands that care about their employees and the planet. There’s a scale of affordability for sure, and for the sake of my finances— when I want to invest I look at the sales, shop on Black Friday, or try to find pieces from the brands I love secondhand on the internet. There’s lots of ways to go about building your dream closet. But you need to know where to look first!
