Today, we had the pleasure of chatting with Ashley, she's a slow fashion advocate, fitness professional, and part-time de-influencer. She hopped on the show today to tell us all about her love for shopping recycled fashion, and to share the not-so-talked-about topic of fast fashion and consumerism. Ashley not only shared absolute facts about how WE as consumers hold lots of power that could shift the fashion industry, but she also gave us an absolute gold mine of tips and tricks to apply the next time you hit the thrift store. She taught us what to look for when shopping second hand, how to know if the item you have found is good quality, and also offered some wisdom in how much your mindset matters when shopping secondhand. We ALSO got to learn about the multiple avenues that exist when looking to buy used, beyond your typical thrift store. There is resource after resource in today's episode, so check down below for links to everything Ashley mentioned in the show today, and make sure you're following her journey to keep up on all things sustainable fashion.
