29. throwing out our skinny jeans?

by Cassandra Mendez · Published September 7, 2021 · Updated July 29, 2023

hi hello hey, it’s officially SEPTEMBER!

Before we talk about fall — and you know we will — we wanted to talk about style again, but in a unique way. This past year, we’ve both learned about waste in many forms, including overbuying clothes. As people who love fashion, we’ve definitely owned more clothes than we needed, and we’d cycle out clothes after only a few wears. We know we’re not unique in this, but we wanted to talk about this in our own lives and the efforts we’ve taken towards sustainability. We’re not experts, but there is power in conscious consuming!

We hope you enjoy, and as always, feel free to email us anything (except spam, spam is lame) at hello@rarewithflair.com.
