How do you build a wardrobe without falling back into overconsumption?
I've been trying to buy clothes more intentionally instead of picking up things just because they're on sale or trending. Do you have rules you follow? Like waiting a certain number of days before purchasing, sticking to a color palette, replacing one item instead of adding another, or something else?

Getting Clothes Made-To-Measure
Hello! I am thinking about getting some clothes ordered made-to-measure, but it does add an additional cost to the garment, so I was wondering if anyone might have some advice on which items will benefit most from being made-to-measure, and which would probably be fine without? I'll add pictures of the garments in question, any input would be greatly appreciated! Also, not sure if it makes a difference, but some of my measurements are as follows: Height-5'7"/170cm, Hips-92cm/36in, Waist (bellybutton)-72cm/28in, Waist(narrow)-67cm/26in, Bust:79cm/31in.
ETA: Size chart, not sure if that makes a difference either.
If you've read this far, thanks again!

ISO of bag/sling brands to check out
I'm looking to purchase a new handbag, and I'm specifically looking for a sling or belt bag style that I can wear crossbody. For the last few years, I've just been carrying all my things plus kids things in my Joshuvela Baja backpack I've been using as a diaper bag (which I highly recommend—I was definitely influenced by mysimplysimple on Instagram). I will be keeping the backpack forever, a true BIFL piece, but I'm ready for a smaller bag for when I'm sans kids, but I still prefer a crossbody to distribute weight across my shoulders.
My wants: chic/elevated in style, crossbody, leather/canvas (or other natural fibers) and specifically, I'm looking through a critical lens of prioritizing chromium-free or vegetable tanned leather, companies using offcuts/from the meat industry, or local production or raising of the cattle(I'm in the upper midwest of the USA so focusing on US or Canadian produced). I love small handmade companies too!
I've currently got my eye on the following brands: O My Bag Amsterdam and Range Revolution. If you have experience about either brand, please share! And share all your ideas and brand recs with me!

Do you think affordable luxury clothing is worth it?
I keep seeing brands describe themselves as affordable luxury and I never know how seriously to take it. Sometimes it feels like you’re paying for better fabrics and cuts and other times it feels like nice photos and branding. I’m trying to be more intentional with shopping and figure out how people judge value with clothing. What actually makes a piece worth paying a bit more for in your opinion as in fabric, fit, cost per wear or something else?

Art Knit Studios - positive discovery
I was a big fan of COS for a while, I liked their fabrics and cuts but the quality has gone downhill.
I was doing an intense research of a sustainable brand to replace COS and I came across Art Knit Studios. I just bought a few of their linen pieces and I am positively surprised of quality, transparency and price. They also have archive sale on their website. Maybe someone can enjoy that brand as well, if they were looking for something new and fair

I'm building a sustainable fashion startup from scratch, and I'm looking for a few people who want to build with me
Hi everyone,
Over the past year, I've been working on something that's become much bigger than just an idea.
I'm building an early-stage sustainable womenswear venture based in North India. The goal isn't to create "another clothing brand." I'm trying to build garments that women genuinely reach for over and over again, like pieces that are functional, timeless, and consciously made.
For months, I've been researching fabrics, circular fashion, garment functionality, and how women actually use their wardrobes. I'm now entering the most exciting (and honestly, the most challenging) phase, which is turning all of that research into our very first collection.
I've spent the last few weeks reaching out to universities, fashion schools, and communities to find people who genuinely wanted to build alongside me. I met some wonderful people, but I also realised that the right collaborator isn't necessarily sitting inside a classroom.
So I'm trying something different. I am looking for someone interested in women's fashion, curious about circular fashion. And someone who is actually passionate about building a brand from zero.
If you're someone who enjoys garment development, fashion design, textiles, sustainable fashion, product thinking or you're simply obsessed with creating meaningful products, I would genuinely love to connect.
I'm not promising a glamorous startup experience.
You'll probably see the messy side of entrepreneurship more than the polished side.
But you'll have the opportunity to contribute to real decisions, real products, and the journey of building something from day one.
If this resonates with you, leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd much rather have a conversation.
Even if you're not the right person but know someone who might be, I'd really appreciate a tag or a share.
Thank you for reading!
[P.S. If you're reading this six months from now, feel free to reach out anyway. I'm hoping to build a community of people who care about thoughtful fashion and are willing to connect.]

Someone convince me not to cut all of my T-shirts to crop tops
It's hot and I'm suffering and I have too many t-shirts. I keep the scraps to re-use. Someone needs to come to bat for winter me when I find myself with no regular t-shirts
