Gloating about your lifestyle again? You do realise that not everyone can afford 30-50 euros on clothes? Some people make that in a whole day's work. Yes the conditions that high street brands offer their workers is appalling but stop shading people for not being able to purchase fair trade organic cotton. Ugh.
I’m not gloating anything, I was also in my previous post pointing out that it is not as expensive as many of you seem to think, to buy fair produced environmentally friendly clothes. Or make your house more energy efficient. Of course by buying fair produced you cannot buy clothes like Carys does - every day something new and then giving it away after washing it twice. Buying fair means buying slow fashion. I am still wearing a hiking jacket that is 14 years old. Most of my jeans are 5-10 years old. I’m never buying fast fashion, so if I buy a pair of jeans (for example from Armed Angles) I give out about 100€ for it. On sale you get get them for 50-70€.
I’m shaming Carys and ITS for promoting their fast fashion crap clothes, and I’m trying to show that the alternatives are a) not as expensive as you think and b) if you don’t go buying a new pair of jeans 4 times a year you spend the same amount of money buying fair fashion as buying fast fashion. It’s all about prioritizing, saving up and being an informed consumer. The mountain of fast fashion polyester-clothes laying in the Chilean deserts are a dire consequence of thinking that you «have» to buy cheap bad quality clothes AND ITS+Carys and co. pumping out their
tit again and again and again. Earning money while dumping garbage more or less directly onto third world countries.
PS: I earn 622€ a month as a stay at home mum since 2 years + getting another child soon which means this will only get less for the next 3 years as I will not go back to work until all our kids are 3 years +.
