I can't believe the shopping sabbatical is over. It's been a wild ride but in all seriousness I learned a lot through this experience.
I buy a lot of things and most of my purchases are impulse purchases. With that being said, most of those impulse purchases don't cost too much. This journey has opened my eyes to quantity vs quality. Do I really need another pair of average jeans or should I save my money for a pair of high cost jeans that are more durable and flatter my body better.
Also how many items of clothing that I purchase do I actually wear? Honestly I don't wear half my closet.
The sabbatical has spurred a lot of thought, it has also motivated me to create a little challenge for myself this summer.
My goal this summer is to either buy from thrift stores or save to purchase something of higher quality. I think it will beneficial for many reasons, for example I will be helping the environment, I won't be supporting fast fashion chains that exploit their workers, and I will learn the power of saving for a specific item of clothing.
Yes, the shopping sabbatical for this class is over but the sabbatical continues on for me and for everyone else whether we acknowledge it or not.
I think it's great how you have set a goal for your summer shopping. That is a great idea, I hope it goes well for you!
ReplyDeleteShopping sabbatical has taught all of us a lot. Good luck with your goals for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI really like the goal you have made for the summer. I think that many people buy clothes for accessories at a lower quality and lower price and it only lasts them for one or two seasons. The goal you have made for the summer will really be beneficial when it comes to not only saving money, but getting as many uses out of clothing as well. I am anxious to hear how your summer will go. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteGo get em this summer!
ReplyDeleteWe have definitely learned a lot about the fashion industry this semester, so I'm glad that you're continuing in practicing the skills and knowledge that our professors have taught us! Kudos!
