You can't have your cake and eat it too

Not a real serious tangent, but it's just a little frustrating to keep seeing posts asking how to sustainably get specific garments, fast fashion crap and ads. Mindset is the biggest part of practicing sustainability.

Your wardrobe is already sustainable! More likely than not, you already have more than enough clothes.

Please accept that ready to wear is generally not sustainable instead of trying to find loopholes or wishing for a shop that's magically guilt-free and has exactly what you like.

Not everyone needs to be some ultra eco warrior. Making the effort to be aware and make even one mindful choice matters. I'm sure people just want to check if there's an alternative to losing out on something they were eyeing. But it's just a lot of posters with unrealistic expectations. If you never ask, you don't get to learn though (shrug).
