Find Your Personal Style

When your clothes feel like YOU, everything changes. if you’re like OKAY BUT HOW? WHO AM I?!

⁃ Silliest of the gooses

Buy Less

Listen, don’t go to the grocery store hungry. Same applies to fashion. Bring some intention. Make a list. Do you need this or r u a hungwyy baby angel face with nutella, hot cheetos + an ill-fitting tank top in your cart?

Shop Secondhand

There are 7 billion ways to thrift, what’s your fav? Are you a neighborhood-local-cashiers-know-your-name thrifter? Or an online, gently-used browser type? Maybe you’re a Goodwill gold hunter? Or an estate sale entrepreneur? A flea market find-master?

Whatever your flavor, those clothes are lucky to be worn again you!

Repair Old Clothes

It ain’t SEW hard! You don’t have to be a seamstress. Most dry cleaners also offer alterations and repairs. Find a cobbler, it’s good for the soles.

Plus, when you buy quality pieces that feel like YOU, you will want those babies TO last forever. So friends, wear & take care!

Buy From Sustainable Brands

Buy from sustainable brands where the company's business models are constructed with eco-friendly practices.

Supporting local and small businesses that reuse and curate pre-loved clothing is also a great way to keep quality pieces in circulation and out of the landfill.

We know of a pretty cool one…
