So as I’ve mentioned I am a bit of a shopaholic. Instead of going on my clothing apps, checking in to see what’s the latest trends i have deleted all of the apps and started looking for a more sustainable approach.
A friend reached out after hearing I was doing this challenge and told me about ASOS Marketplace. It is a great way to buy second hand clothing from people who simply don’t wear certain items anymore. Also Depop is another great app. I have bought some bits on depop, including a piece for my Halloween costume on Depop, and I’ve sold some pieces of my own that I dont wear anymore.
So instead of going with my old habits or buying one item for a Halloween costume that i mightn’t ever wear again, I have bought second hand things as a more sustainable approach.

Darren Clarke commented on Day 11: Habits 4 years agoHi Evelyn. Great to hear your challenge is going well. How did you find deleting your favourite apps from your phone? It's great that you've managed to have conversations with others about your challenge too. How have these conversations gone? Have you influenced others in your family/friends to take up a sustainability experiment? I've used Depop before and found it great but had never heard of Asos Marketplace, so thanks for this. I wonder if before you took the challenge you would have considered selling your unwanted clothes either? Has your perceptions of the fashion world and how we consume fashion changed since you began the challenge? Looking forward to reading more of your journey. Darren Respond

Evelyn O Driscoll commented on Day 11: Habits 4 years agoHi Darren, thanks for your message. It has been hard deleting my go-to apps however, I’m still seeing an incredible amount of adds for clothing brands across many other social media platforms. When i told my family they laughed and said good luck as they don’t think i will last. However, i will prove them wrong as i am determined to stop buying fast fashion clothes from now on. My perceptions of the fashion world has changed as i am researching more and more into how clothes are made and i can say i am appalled on the results. Thanks Evelyn. Respond
