Day 4: Thrift your fast fashion fix! Yes, this example is a pretty sustainable brand (@everlane silk top) but if you want to feel good about buying ANY brand, buy it from a thrift store. Thrift is always the place I encourage folks to go first if they want to shop more sustainably because it’s as cheap or cheaper than anything else, and it helps take a bite out of the HUGE apparel waste problem we have in the west. Also I occasionally hear from folks who feel they shouldn’t shop the thrift stores if they don’t “need” the affordable prices, thinking they’re leaving it for someone who needs it more - this is a really common misconception. There is way more than enough to go around, and most of what’s donated to thrift stores gets baled up and shipped overseas because there aren’t enough people buying it here. I worked in the resale industry for a decade (at a nonprofit thrift store), and while we appreciated our clothing donators of course, I always told folks the #1 way to support our mission was to buy our clothes. If you’ve had a bad experience, try another shop, there are a ton of great thrift shops out there. My favorites locally are @treasurecitythrift @apathrift and @topdrawerthriftstore but shop whatever you find, including the big chains like @goodwillintl and @savers_thrift . #wearyourvalues #remakeourworld @remakeourworld
Day 3: Gift your values like you #wearyourvalues -nobody likes a guilt trip but everyone likes presents! I’m all for holiday meal conversations about how shorter supply chains can make transparency and responsible sourcing more feasible - but if your family isn’t totally in board with that yet, maybe they’d still enjoy receiving these socks with a bit of info about who makes them on the inside of the package :) (swipe to see the inside) #remakeourworld @remakeourworld #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion
Does your medium clash with your message? Oops, major fashion faux pas :/. Let’s work on that - with so many women working under unfair and exploitive labor conditions in the garment supply chain, feminist messages printed on t-shirts are going to feel a little hollow unless those shirts come from a more ethical source. Before you buy blank t-shirts or contract printing, ask for evidence that the women who make them earn a living wage and have protections from forced labor, sexual assault and harassment, and unsafe working conditions. .

Day 2: Use the “good china”. I’ve always tried NOT to be that person who has cabinets full of “special” dishes they never enjoy using. But it’s easy to put nicer clothes in the back of the closet to save for a special occasion, and forget that we’re hoarding valuable resources when we do that. When I first bought this @behno_official top, the heavy weight silk felt too dressy for everyday, and I found myself rarely wearing it. Now I’m being more intentional about rotating it through my regular wardrobe -wearing it today with jeans and sneakers and messy hair for a very casual day of work and errands :). #30daysofsustainablefashion #wearyourvalues #remakeourworld @remakeourworld
you know your fashion/textile obsessions are having an influence at home when you 9yo comes up with both “weft” and “wale” on his ‘make a lot of words with these letters’ homework 👌... NYC was fabulous as usual but it sure is great to be home with this goofball for cookies and coffee and silly worksheets :) p.s. y’all, the new quack’s bakery has sprinkles on the table to customize your cookies as needed. Just thought you might like to know. #3rdgrade #textiles #wale #weft
