Charu's Post

Confession time: I used to be a serial shopper—flash sales, impulse buys, and ‘just in case’ outfits were my weakness. But over time, I realized my wardrobe was overflowing, my wallet was empty, and the planet? Well, it was paying the biggest price. So, I made a change. I cut down my shopping by 90% (yes, really!), and here’s what helped me do it: ♻️ The 30-Day Rule – If I like something, I wait 30 days before buying. Most of the time, I forget about it, proving I never really needed it. For buying online - a 48 hours cart rule works like wonders! 👗 The One-In, One-Out Rule – If I buy something new, I have to let go of something I own. (Spoiler: It makes me rethink every purchase!) 💸 Cost Per Wear Check – I calculate how many times I’ll realistically wear something. If the cost per wear isn’t worth it, it stays on the shelf. 🧥 Thrifting & Borrowing – Instead of buying, I swap, rent, or thrift. It’s kinder to the planet and my wallet! 🚫 Unsubscribing from Temptation – No more sale emails, fashion ads, or endless scrolling through shopping apps. Out of sight, out of cart! Not gonna lie, it was tough at first, but now? I feel lighter, my style is more intentional, and I actually love everything I own! Are you trying to shop less? Drop a ♻️ in the comments if you are! And tell me—what’s your best trick for resisting impulse buys? #SustainableFashion #ShopLess #MindfulConsumer #sustainableinstyle #sustainability
