This post is about more than outfits. It’s about rethinking how we consume fashion. Fast fashion pushes us to buy more, more often. But with intentional planning, we can find more freedom in having less.

Capsule wardrobes reduce waste, stress, and clutter—while letting us express our style in deeper, more personal ways. ✨

This 10×15 challenge is a small but powerful way to practice sustainability. Fewer pieces. More purpose.
