I’M BREAKING UP

I say NO to FAST FASHION! – ONE YEAR NO MORE SHOPPING

No to new shoes, dresses, jeans, high heels, and many more.

I won’t add anything new from a factory to my wardrobe.

The old is adapted, upcycled or swapped.

Maybe some of you guys call me crazy!?!

That I refrain from shopping for a whole year.

But for a long time I can’t find pleasure in shopping. I think of people who sew the clothes. How they produce the clothes under bad conditions.

Do I really want to shove my hard-earned money up the ass of the companies?

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing for too long.

Through every article I bought I have supported companies that treat their own employees like slaves.

Only that I can satisfy my urge to buy quickly and cheaply.

NO NO NO, my money stays with me or with companies that I really want to support.

HOW, WHAT, WHY, I have already partially explained why above.

I will keep a diary and share my thoughts and my plans and of course the clothes I have sewn with you.

The self-experiment starts exactly today.

As with every one of my goals, there are rules that I follow with all possible means.

My rules as well as goals:

It doesn’t look like much, but I think anyone who cares about looks knows that it’s hard to stick to.

What I allow myself:

What do I hope from the whole action?!?

Does advertising tempt me to shop?

Can I really hold out for a year?
How do I go about not being able to buy anything?
Can I really sew everything I need and want?
is it a relief?
Do I find my own style?
Do I really need clothes to express my personality?
Do I feel relieved that I don’t support anyone’s personal rights and harm the environment?
Can I still look stylish without the latest trends?
Take my sewing skills to a new level?
How real is it to give up everything?

It will surely be the most difficult thing in my life that I have ever done.

What do you think of that? What are your questions?
