Two months into #SpendingPending and I’m starting to see consumption very differently. One of the biggest takeaways?

✨ You don’t need a new outfit for every occasion ✨

We’ve become soooo disconnected from the supply chain that it’s easy to forget that fast fashion’s ‘low prices’ are entirely artificial. They’re not low because garments cost that little to create - they’re low because of wage theft, cheap materials, and because they’re made to be disposed of (and quickly). And it’s not a matter of every fast fashion giant switching to sustainable materials, because a 52-season fashion cycle will NEVER be sustainable for people or the planet. I encourage everyone to pause before making clothing purchases and ask a few questions:

🌞 how do I envision this piece fitting into my wardrobe/what else can I wear it with? 🌞 is there a gap in my wardrobe that this item is filling? 🌞 is there a secondhand version of this item I can find? 🌞 is this piece something I can see myself wearing for the long term (or is it too trendy)? 🌞 for special occasions: can I rent/borrow an outfit instead of buying new?

I hope y’all take some time to think through these Qs before buying! It’s going to take a lot of consumer habit changes in order to shift this wasteful industry. But we each have our own power as consumers - take action by reducing consumption where possible, participating in the sharing/lending economy, or prioritizing #secondhand options 🌻

***Note: I fully recognize that sustainable / secondhand fashion is not accessible to everyone. This message is geared towards folks who hold the privilege of accessing these items 🍏

Kylo, that was the character that [Rian Johnson] was most excited about getting into and writing, because in the first Star Wars films, Vader was a great villain, but he was never someone you identified with. Whereas, with Kylo, it’s almost like Rey and Kylo are two halves of the protagonist. And, if this is all about the transition from adolescence into adulthood, Kylo is that anger of adolescence.
