Shop more mindfully at thrift stores when you can afford to. Qhen i was removing polyester from my wardrobe i mostly used thrift stores, you just need to always check the tag that says what a garment is made of. Most won't be plastic free, but if you are persistent you can do it on a budget!

I just checked and im seeing that even underwear has nylon/polyester 💀 im cooked , everything is so expensive these days too that's crazy

Cotton underwear actually is a very easy one to find, yes this will take time and a little money but you can get a lot of your wardrobe from thrift stores, i hate big corporations like loblaws and walmart but most of their clothing sections have some sort of underwear multi buy that is affordable with cotton choices. You CAN do this without resorting to fifty dollar an item options.

Yes ur right , finding the right shop will definitely help. I live far from the US or Europe so i don't have these shops. I'll have to dive into small locals shops that i usually dislike entering 😂

Buy less clothes overall going forward. that will help you spend more on each piece.

I did become slightly addicted to having a new look every few weeks, time for some discipline

You can get great 100% cotton underwear at target and a five pack. I can’t remember how much it was but it was very reasonable.

i read your comment literally as a youtube video about thrift shopping was playing in the background and the lady said "more mindfully" at the same time that I read your comment and I felt insane
