Conscious Consumerism: How To Shop With Intention

The most sustainable clothing is the one already in your closet. But when you do need to buy something new, conscious shopping matters.

Ask these questions before buying:

• Do I need this?

• Will I wear it 30+ times?

• Is it well made?

• Who made it—and were they paid fairly?

• Can I get it secondhand or rent it instead?

Tips for intentional shopping:

• Follow the “One in, One out” rule

• Wait 48 hours before buying non-essentials

• Track your purchases and cost per wear

Intentional shopping isn’t about deprivation—it’s about alignment. Aligning your purchases with your values, not trends.
