NEW FACEBOOK GROUP - Alternative Fashion Lovers For Sustainability

Alternative Fashion Lovers For Sustainability is a new Facebook group meant to provide a space where people can discuss the relationships between alternative fashion and topics like sustainable fashion, minimalism, consumerism, low impact living, and other important topics. You can find resources, recommended brands, advice, and a community that accepts sustainable fashion beginners and veterans alike. No matter where you are in your journey, we want you in our community. Even if you have a closet full of fast fashion, or have no alternatives to fast fashion, we'll still be happy to have you. We believe that a sustainable mindset is more valuable than a sustainable wardrobe.

I'm also happy to be joined by my wonderful fellow admin Allis of @lettucetalkgreens who knows far more about sustainable fashion and living than I do. She's as passionate as I am about this group, lives in a timezone where she can cover my "night shift", and is a wealth of knowledge for anyone wanting to learn about sustainable development or how to be vegan or low impact/zero waste.

If you want to make the alternative fashion community a more sustainable place, or just want to connect with like-minded people, Alternative Fashion Lovers For Sustainability is the place for you.

It’s something I’ve rarely seen discussed in depth in our community. This is unfortunate because it is so important! Harajuku fashion can and does cause anxiety and self-esteem issues, and we need to discuss how we as a community can reduce or prevent it. I’ll start by explaining how I managed to overcome it, or at least reduce it. I’ll also explain why its coming back as well. Disclaimer: Please note that this is my personal experience about how my fashion has caused me mild yet fre...

While I felt somewhat un...
