Mindful Shopping
Mindful ShoppingThere is a myriad of things that we can do to help our planet. It is easy to get caught up in trying to adopt life-altering habits, often ones that make us feel like we need to overhaul our whole lives. However, there are simple habits that we can all pick up that will have a positive impact on our planet and on our pockets too. The habit we implore everyone to try and pick up is mindfulness when shopping.
At Ode, we pride ourselves in only selling pieces that are made of the best quality materials. This in turn means that the pieces will last years. When shopping for clothes and accessories we must look at the longevity of the item. Having to buy a new wardrobe every season should not be normalised (despite what the plethora of hauls online tell you.) By investing in long term pieces you stop contributing to the mass production of goods.
Don’t buy pieces that you believe will be a seasonal trend Instead, invest in pieces that you know will serve you well for years. It is hard when we are constantly being shown that living in excess is the norm. However, taking small steps to live more sustainably should be applauded.
Although good quality pieces may initially cost more, their cost per wear far exceeds that of cheaply produced items. So you can save a pretty penny too.
