How 3 years buying only second hand clothes changed my life, confidence + style.

3 years ago we stopped buying new clothes for our whole family of five and it's completely changed me in the best ways. If you've thought about setting out on the challenge - I can't recommend it enough so we're talking about it. For us, it started with a year long "challenge" for the sake of sustainability. And we've never gone back! Today we're doing a review of the 3 years with some FAQs, the challenges, the difficulties, tips and pointers for if you're thinking about launching in... and I'm diving into the more vulnerable side of how it's changed me and what I've learned that's shaped me so much. Style and clothes have always been an insecurity to me, and this journey for me was purely one based on sustainability values. But I didn't know what else it would do for me and I want that for everyone! ⭐️ PLACES WE LOVE TO SHOP: Charity shops will always be our number one!
