Q+A
We tackle this question from Kara: “Economical vs environmental clothing purchases – which make more sense? Spending a lot of money on a couple of well-made eco/locally made pieces or spending less money on fast fashion? I suppose this is a personal question but one I’ve struggled with deciding. I think it’s a mindset issue around the purchase price point of environmentally friendly/small business purchases.”

I just finished listening to this podcast and I thought you ladies did a great job with the discussion mainly around shopping. I recently started looking in to minimalism and making some changes around my home but mainly with my shopping. Thank you for all of the recommendations. I look forward to hearing more of your material in 2019!
Thank you! And congratulations on making those changes.
This podcast was amazing. I loved so much of this topic. You touched on so many points but the one that really resonated with me was seeing “shopping” as a sport is not good for ourselves. I loved your discussion on quality and eco friendly vs cheap fast fashion and I love your 80/20 rule! Thank you for this podcast!!
You are so welcome and thank you for the kind feedback!
