I have never had a piece of H&M clothing survive one wash. 

Yes, this. Alsoooo fast fashion isn't Style? Like, anyone can pick something off the rack at H&M or Zara and look trendy because the options there are ONLY trendy.  It takes an eye to pull from thrift shops or vintage or consignment shops. Would rather be inspired by those choices than whatever is in the window at Zara

This has been on my mind thanks to TikTok. It made sense when they were just people sharing their lives, but once they make influencing their living, it gets tricky. 

Yeah!!! I wished they promoted more meaningful and valuable businesses/companies, like some charitable ones, women-owned, etc. Fast fashion lacks quality too. 

Not to mention the fact that fast-fashion is not only unethical, but ill-fitting. So many things I've bought in the past has been both itchy and uncomfortable. 

Something that has been bothering me to my core as of late, is that we idolize or look to these fashion influencers for the latest trends or even copy their looks head to toe. But what I can't stand is that almost everything is a link to a fast-fashion brand. If you are unfamiliar with what fast fashion is, it is Zara, H&M, Forever21, Fashion Nova, or TopShop to name a few. 

I just think as someone who has such an influence, you should have some responsibility for the future of consumer culture, and idk, this lil thing called our planet. 

There are so many options. Invest in more timeless pieces less trendy so you don't go through them as quickly, better quality, don't consume as much, thrift, rent your clothes (Rent The Runway or Nuuly are amazing companies). 

I Wish Influencers Would Stop Buying Fast Fashion
