I was sitting on the train today going to college when a boy hopped on in Clonsilla. He sat beside me and immediately i was distracted from my book. His outfit stuck me, he put these different pieces of clothes together and made an outfit turn into art. I immediately went to my phone, onto ASOS Marketplace, Beyond Retro, Depop and Dublin Vintage Factory to search for clothing items similar to his. When i was speaking about this experience in class today i realised i do have a bad habit. When i see an outfit i like or a piece of an outfit i always go onto every clothing app and website and search for a similar item.
It needs too stop.

cCHANGE Team commented on Day 20: Habits 4 years agoHi Evelyn, It's great to read your post. It sounds like his outfit was amazing. I wish I had seen it. And it's so fantastic that you realised through the class discussion that you have a habit that you want to change. Well done! I'm so impressed that you learnt that about yourself. I guess having all these apps and online payment systems makes it so much easier for us to shop and get what we want, whenever we want it. Changing that habit would have quite an impact. Have you been reflecting on the other systems impacting your challenge e.g. what other systems make fast fashion so powerful and so damaging to the planet and people? Do you think that the alternatives you have been exploring could take off, and would it be better for the planet and people if more of us shopped like that? Are your friends into shopping? Have you influenced them through this challenge? Looking forward to hearing about the last few days. Best, Leonie at cCHANGE Respond
