Hey everyone! First I want to apologise for not posting anything last Sunday. There is a lot going on in my life lately, which is affecting my health and I just needed a break. But now I am back! So today´s post is all 3 outfits I wore this week but with a little twist: I am gonna check each outfit on it´s sustainability level, based on the fabric, the wear count and the production of each item. Sustainability is something I really care about and I also love to dress nicely. And it´s totally possible to combine those two! Of course I am not perfect, but every step in the right direction contributes to change. So let´s have a look at the outfit and results:
Tuesday
I had a doctor´s appointment but apart from that, I stayed at home and rested. I also made one of my favourite meals, vegan “chicken” nuggets, and worked on this blogpost for a bit…

Quite a warm and sunny day, so I could get away with wearing my thin camouflage parka. I am gonna miss this one for sure, wore it loads this Summer and Autumn! I mainly chilled and took a bath, because that´s what Sundays are made for, right?! 😉

Well that was interesting! Don´t you think so? I always try to make sustainable purchases and wear my clothes time and time again, but I never put the sustainability of my outfits into numbers before. All in all the results where as I expected them to be. All of the outfits had at least 3 stars or more, which means all outfits where 60% sustainable or even higher. A result which I am happy with! I loved the last outfit the most, which also happens to be the most sustainable one of them all ( about 78% ). What was your fave? All clothes I wore are part of my Autumn Capsule Wardrobe.
Why not check the sustainability of the outfit you wore today? Use the criteria I did above or add your own ones if you want. Share the result in the comments below if you want, I really would love to know!
That´s it for today! I hope you enjoyed this rather casual blogpost format, see you next week…
I wish you the best day ever!
