Clothes Speak Volume ... So What Are Yours Saying?

 

"Every time you spend money, you are casting a vote for the kind of world you want"

Mindful shopping contributes to more sustainable planet. And our planet needs a break.

Remember that 'style is the perfection of a point of view' and YOU can help:

1. Consider going 'slow fashion' by sticking with what you already have. 

First of all, find your signature item and wear it often. 

Develop a consistent style of dress and incorporate your signature item. This will help you to convey self-confidence and make you feel invulnerable. 

Exercise JOY-per-use attitude. 

Most people are familiar with the cost-per-use use approach to justify their costlier than usual purchases. I want to propose a fresher perspective so you can do something for your overall wellbeing* - try the concept of JOY-per-use attitude. 

Create a capsule wardrobe. 

If you work five days a week, create five outfits per season - you will wear each outfit just about four times a month (in case you are worried about being seen wearing the same clothes).

2. Consider becoming a Beige Classicist.

That's because the best things in fashion come in beige! 

Iconic Trench Coat, luxurious camel hair coat, cosy cashmere sweaters or relaxing weekend chinos... 

And if there is one word to describe them all, it has to be 'timeless'.

The classic Trench Coat for example, true symbol of effortless style and elegance, is as relevant today as it was 10, 20 or even 70 years ago.

3. Consider buying vintage or second hand.

Look for high quality pieces that will last. 

Many vintage finds are classic and modern at the same time, and many can be described simply as 'timeless'.
