150+ slow fashion brands, consignment, thrift, vintage stores, and sustainable ways to help you curate a fabulous wardrobe with ease and delight
You're ready for your closet to become a love letter to your unique brand of magnificence.
And to feel devilishly good in your clothes.
As in, the type of good that you didn't actually believe you could feel.
You dream about quality pieces you can't wait to wear... a lot.
Beautifully crafted, and most definitely your style.
And you’re over the endless scrolling and ordering, and still not finding clothing that you feel fully excited to wear when you get honest with yourself.
The floods of emails you get daily from clothing companies promising you some great deal on sweaters (that aren't truly your style, but you don't know where else to look)
The constant sorting through the advertising retail noise. You can do it, you surely know how to- you've done it probably for decades, but you would rather be doing other things that you actually feel inspired by.
Oh and the greenwashing.
Every brand swearing that they're doing something to combat the effects of fast fashion.
Maybe you don’t even like shopping and the whole process feels like a chore.
You might feel like sustainable fashion and high-quality clothes are out of reach, reserved for people with lots of $$$ to burn.
I get it.
You want a wardrobe that feels like you and aligns with what you care about, what you love, what makes you feel like you...
Whether you’re hunting for a one-of-a-kind designer bag, that pair of denim where the back pockets sit just right, or just trying to figure out how to shop without having a major internal guilt trip.
You want options that fit seamlessly your style, your budget, and your life—without sacrificing the planet along the way.
So I propose we make this easier and waayy more fun, and shame-free.
This guide weaves together my decade-plus as a professional wardrobe stylist, my fierce second-hand shopping habit, and my experience guiding people to connect to their desires, step into more of their unique design, and to fully and unapologetically thrive.
My style—just like yours—is about so much more than just what I wear.
and I see it again and again:
what we wear helps us embody the qualities, confidence, or even the courage we need to move through life in alignment with who we are, what we love, and what we value.
And that’s what this guide is really about.
This isn’t just a list of shops—
It's an invitation to turn up the dial on your self-expression
It's a permission slip to explore that one side of you that you love but have kept hidden
It's a way to learn more about what clothing resonates with your entire being
It's a way to make sustainable fashion work for you.

Are ready to shift out of buying fast fashion
This guide makes it very approachable. It is laid out so you can discover new sustainable brands or find your current favorites used or still new with tags on (often at really great prices, too).

I’ve got places specifically picked for you.

Break out in hives when you think about wearing used clothes
This list has ways to find never-worn clothes that people are reselling at major discounts. Its amazing.
Cringe at the idea of new clothes creating more waste (regardless of how ethically they were made)
I so get it - waste is waste.
I have noted companies that only create new clothing with deadstock fabric (extra fabric that never went into production), vintage fabric, or repurposed clothing. Recycling and reusing at its finest :)
And by the way, this isn’t a one-and-done PDF.
It’s a living, breathing Google Doc that will grow with you. You’ll always have access to updates, new resources, and fresh recommendations.
You'll find hole-in-the-wall shops (virtual and brick and mortar) and amazing designers that I have found over the years while walking through neighborhoods, meandering through the interwebs and going down IG rabbit holes.
Why this GUIDE RULES
Shopping doesn’t have to be your jam for this guide to be your go-to. Maybe the thought of sifting through racks makes your eye twitch, or maybe you’d rather do literally anything else.

Yes! It’s a dynamic document, so I’ll keep adding new resources and tips over time.

Whatever your shopping budget is, I want you to know where to locate beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed, pieces that are actually built to last.
You don't have to settle for finds that unravel after a single wear or lose their shape after one wash (I know, it's so damn annoying).

I also want you to enjoy a list of shopping resources that is full of companies that are restoring ecosystems, paying their employees a living wage, tangibly supporting their local communities, and actively working to reduce fashion waste.
This guide truly has resources for whatever type of shopper you are.
I’ve happily done the legwork so you can shop smarter, not harder. More ease for the win.
