I'm 25F, and over the last 3-4 years, I've cut back a ton on impulsive purchases, upcycled my clothes, and given away most of my old ones as responsibly as I could. I definitely had a little bit of a problem - buying into trends and microtrends, filling up my wardrobe with A LOT of extremely cheap clothes I barely wore. I'm reflecting, and I think I really lost it somewhere around the pandemic and realized I was just trying to buy into an identity. If that makes sense? I feel like it is acceptable at around 20 to explore a little and find your style, but in hindsight, it was quite a big problem.
A lot of friends my age seem to have the same problem. How do I talk to them about this cycle they're stuck in without sounding overly preachy?
I'd love to know what was the last straw that made you cut back on impulsive clothing purchases. More perspectives can perhaps help me articulate/approach this better. Thanks!
Hi! I’m a Fashion Business student doing an Honours Project on how people search and decide when shopping second-hand fashion online. The anonymous survey takes ~3 minutes (search/browsing, sizing/fit, condition clarity, trust).

i want to get into sewing and making my own clothes, partially because nothing fits, but mostly cuz sustainability.
my dilemma is, where do i buy fabrics? is it ethical to buy them from michael’s or a craft store? i would assume not. but im wondering if its better than fast fashion?
pls lmk how to go about this!
I am excited to introduce this business idea Organic Threads, your go-to online marketplace for a wide range of organic clothing and accessories! Our mission is to provide environmentally conscious consumers with stylish, sustainable options that don’t compromise on quality.

I'm a nurse and I've been working on my own scrubs idea on the side. I think what I'm making is different from what's out there right now.
Nothing to sell yet. Just testing and figuring things out.
If anyone wants to see the process or follow along, I'm on Instagram at @/weareronbo. Will be posting updates in the next coming months.
Would be cool to have some people from this community along for the ride.
