I try to borrow, rewear, and keep my purchases intentional to reduce my footprint but here’s the bigger picture: This isn’t just about individual habits, it’s about an industry designed to push constant newness, endless trends, and unrealistic standards. We can’t change the system overnight, but we can start questioning it! AND I want to add I have the most incredible friends, Aubrey and Carrie 💛 who let me occasionally borrow clothes for one-off events where I don’t have an outfit or dress that fits into a specific color/theme! Bonus: I now rewear my bridesmaid dresses from their weddings as my go-to wedding guest dress 🥰 #frugal #personalfinance #underconsumption #budget #deinfluence
