Hey you guys! I hope you all are well, and I just wanna start by saying; Thank you! Thank you, for coming back here and (perhaps) read abuut my thoughts, tips & tricks. Today I've been thinking a lot about how I keep talking about being more sustainable, when I'm for the moment don't feel sustainable at all. I've been shopping quite a lot these past weeks. So I do feel bad about it and I kind of bomb myself out - and it's not like it's the end of the world. But when I think about it, I am pretty sustainable in my shopping nowadays. For example, I've been buying a few bits and bobs secondhand and vintage, this blazer right here is actually secondhand, it's from the mens department because I do love some oversized fits. And when I been buying my denim latley I always choose denim that is made of less water, and GOTS-certified cotton and so on. So there's no need for me to feel bad about myself, the only thing I feel a bit bad about is my wallet, but I have to say, buying secondhand is freaking king, you can make some finds I must say! Anyway, I've also been talking a lot about a capsule wardrobe and how to build, but it is an ongoing project for like always. I don't have a certain number of products for example, I will only have 37 items in my wardrobe, BUT I will not have more than one of everything, for example a white cotton shirt. I don't own one today, I most likley could been having three hanging in my closet, but I'm on the hunt for the p-e-r-f-e-c-t fit, so therefore I won't be buying one until I find it. Are you guys shopping sustainable or is that not something you think about? It's totally okay by me if you're not. I didn't before, I was a massive shopaholic that bought everything I thought would make me feel good. It did, for about 20 minutes and then I felt I needed something else. But thats another story that we can talk about another day. I hope you are enjoying the weekend, we're having beautiful autumn weather here in Gothenburg so I'm gonna catch that moment to get some pictures of a few bits I've been dying to style.
