Slow fashion

Today's outfit is a tribute to slow fashion. You might ask yourself what's that? I will explain myself. The term goes a few years back almost a decay. It's a term versus fast fashion the endless , mindless aquisition of low quality clothing that we throw away after a few wears. It's imposed on us through advertising ,it destroys the environment and has little to do with true style.
On the contrary slow fashion is when we buy less , good quality clothes we really need or love and this can only happen a couple of times a year. It's also when we swap ,mend, alter ,pass to others or thrift our clothes.It's a choice we make for our clothes to last and not end up in landfills. It's what people used to do for thousands of years before corporations commanded otherwise.
Both items in my outfit are thrifted and in perfect condition (the skirt shortened) and will receive some loving care from me for years to come before they fall apart or upscycled into something else.
This kind of mentality feels so right and so close to me that I am extra happy to get dressed every morning and have fun with fashion and not feel quilty of destroying the recources or have people work like slaves for my clothes.
