Welcome to the show that teaches you everything your mom never did about getting dressed! The Everyday Style School inspires you to love the way you look everyd...
Have you ever finished a closet cleanout and found yourself staring at a pile of clothes, completely stumped about what to do with them? In this episode, I'm tackling the often-overlooked but critically important question of what happens to our clothes after we're done with them. From well-loved basics to those impulse purchases that never quite worked out, the question of how to responsibly dispose of unwanted clothing is actually a global crisis. To help us understand how we can be more responsible with our wardrobe disposal, I've invited Amelia Trumble, co-founder and CEO of Retold Recycling, to share her expertise on textile recycling and sustainable fashion practices. Here's some of what is covered in this episode: Discover why traditional donation methods aren't always the answer for certain clothing items (like intimates, worn-out basics, and damaged pieces) – and learn about a straightforward solution that can help you responsibly dispose of everything from worn-out underwear to old shapewear. Get the scoop on what really happens to our discarded clothing, including those items you wouldn't typically donate to a thrift store. Learn practical strategies that make responsible fashion choices feel achievable rather than intimidating. Embrace the "progress, not perfection" approach to sustainable fashion – because small steps in the right direction are so much better than doing nothing at all. Hear about the exciting initiatives we're planning in the Style Circle this year, including our popular Closet Clean Out challenge that helps members transform both their wardrobes and mindsets. I hope this episode helps you feel empowered to make sustainable choices with your wardrobe without feeling overwhelmed by perfectionism. Here's to making progress together, one closet cleanout at a time! Full show notes and resources: youreverydaystyle.com/retold-recycling-amelia-trumble
