I think expressing yourself through clothes is about knowing yourself and your own personal style and knowing what kinds of silhouettes, colors, or prints that you like to wear. Knowing that means you naturally stop buying things that only get worn once or sit in the back of your closet. Instead, you buy things that you wear all the time and return to season after season. It’s far less wasteful and disposable.
