One of the big problems in the fashion industry is

One of the big problems in the fashion industry is the throw away culture fast fashion creates.
•
I believe that when you buy an item, you have the responsibility to take care of it, in order for it to stay alive as long as possible. Whether that’s with you or when you want to get rid of it because it doesn’t fit in your wardrobe anymore.
•
There are multiple ways to get rid of your items and some are more sustainable than the other. You can for instance sell, swap or upcycle your items. (There is a long list in my book as well)
•
What do you do with the items you don’t want anymore?

Denim is dirty, well at least often it is. That’

Denim is dirty, well at least often it is. That’s why it’s important to buy denim items from innovative sustainable fashion/denim brands or second hand.
•
@kuyichipuregoods has created this denim blouse made from 99% recycled materials (a mix of Refibra, recycled cotton and recycled polyester).
Which is perfect as a light jacket these days or you can wear it as a blouse when it’s getting colder. (And you know how much I love versatile items.👏🏻)

The Netherlands is a REAL denim country. Are you a denim fan as well?

Had the best weekend! We had decided two weeks ago

Had the best weekend! We had decided two weeks ago that we would go away this weekend with the van and we were so lucky with the weather. These end of summer days, with sun and a little bit of wind are my favourite, I think because I’m excited for the change of season. It felt a bit as if we were in France again.
•
Something I didn’t have in my closet until spring was long sleeved dresses and I have to say, this is becoming my new favourite thing! I’m wearing an oeko-tex certified @sezane dress. This certification means that there are no harmful chemicals found on the end product or fabric.
•
The online @sezane pop-up for Dutchies is still live! If you use the code BONJOURAMSTERDAM, 10% will go to Day For Change, an organization which works with students all over the Netherlands, you will get free shipping and a surprise with your order!

What is your favourite fall piece in your closet?

I’m not perfect. Far from even. I know it can all look like a perfect life on here but I thought some reality couldn’t hurt.
• I’m not the perfect sustainable lady. I do and buy things that aren’t sustainable sometimes.
• Also it can all look pretty and happy on here, but men, the last months have been super tough. Writing the book, @milo_wigglebum in puberty being a monster, living low budget as I haven’t been making much money the last couple of months and dealing with some personal things has been quite intense.
• My emotions are all over the place. I have been terrified about the comments I would get from my book, which caused a lot of stress too. Felt a little like I was back at AMFI again. 😂
.
I don’t want to get pity, just want to tell you it’s not just pretty pics and happy vids. My life has ups and downs too.
The next months I will definitely put more focus on self care, which I definitely should have put more effort in the last months. Getting fit again is definitely one of the goals, both physically and mentally. I always feel like with fall around the corner, that’s the perfect moment. What is your best self-care tip? I can use some.🙈🍃🍂

Quite an important topic.
We often talk about sustainable fashion however I actually think we need to shift the convo to a sustainable wardrobe instead.
•
A sustainable wardrobe is so much more than sustainable fashion on its own. It’s about taking care of our clothes, about making sure that we wear the pieces we own and adding items that will complete the wardrobe that fits our lifestyle. It’s about being responsible for the items we buy.
•
There are so many assumptions about a sustainable wardrobe and I’ll be sharing more of these in the future.
Creating a sustainable wardrobe doesn’t have to be hard, expensive or dull! It’s all about how bad you want to make a change and what you make of it!
Do or did you have any assumptions before you started jour sustainable fashion journey and have they changed?
Let me know your thoughts!
