Blending In
I blogged a while back about shopping less. If anything blogging has taught me, it is that fast fashion is ultimately, fast. I found myself buying something new every week - cheap thrills, mostly. And with every closet cleanout I feel this increasing sense of overconsumption - something that I consciously minimise in most other aspects of my life but not so much in fashion. I could never quite explain it but one day it struck me: it’s that never-ending quest for perfection. Searching for the perfect white tee, the perfect black jeans, the perfect sweater… and in between I accumulate plenty of things that don’t quite make the cut. More and more I find myself reaching for the same few pieces, so it made sense to reevaluate the way I shop. I’ve decided I’m going to slow down on the fast fashion and only buy the pieces I really, really like. Like this skirt I posted on Instagram a few weeks ago. It took a long time to find something so crisp and well cut and is a style missing entirely from my closet so now there’s that ticked off for a good while.
