Episode 232: Wear what you want to wear, with Marlee of Style Me Slowly

Understanding what your personal style and wearing what you want to wear? AMAZING! Not only does it feel great to love your clothes, it's also an essential part of a more sustainable way of life.  In this week's episode, Amanda is joined by Marlee of Style Me Slowly to talk about how to find "closet contentment."

• Why “flattering” is kind of a myth (and puts the focus on the wrong person’s happiness)
• The challenges of breaking up with the “rules” we have been taught about what we can and cannot wear
• Why understanding what you really want to wear is a very important part of the slow fashion way of life.
• Marlee’s recommended process for understanding your personal style

And so much more!
