Spending Less on Sustainable Shopping: H&M Conscious Collection

We’re all probably guilty of fast fashion shopping at some point or another. Sometimes it’s nice to find a new outfit and not break the bank – I love a good deal so I totally get it. After Marie Kondo-ing my closet last year, I decided that I wanted to try harder to support companies that were practicing sustainable methods. However, I didn’t always want to go way over budget when shopping.

I found a happy medium with H&M’s Conscious line; I have discovered some great basics that I feel good about and that won’t hit the wallet too hard. While H&M is not a perfect company, I appreciate that it is taking steps in the right direction. H&M also offers a recycling program where you can drop off any clothing or textiles and what can’t be reworn or reused will be recycled into insulation and other materials!

Other than the belt and shoes, this whole outfit consists of Conscious Collection items. The jeans I’m wearing are so comfortable and come in six different washes. It looks like they are sold out of the other items unfortunately, but I’ll link similar options below. As I continue to shop the conscious line, I will share my finds with you all. Happy (sustainable) shopping!

I’m wearing size S for the cami and cardigan and size 6 for the jeans. Shoes are vintage Chanel, but I’ve added another style below.

Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about Vision boarded too hard and then got nervous about speaking in front of 100 people lol. 😅

What an honor to speak to students at the @sbplibrary as a panelist for @jlsantabarbara’s Career Exploration Fair. 👏🏻 

I wish I would’ve attended an event like this when I was in high school! Very impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions as well. 💓

Do you believe in vision boards? I try to make one every year now! 🎉

The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞 The dreamiest date night spot: @sanysidroranch 💞

What a fun night sipping cocktails, eating delicious bites, and listening to live music at The Speakeasy. Great news for my locals, longtime menu favorites like the mac & cheese and baby back ribs are on the menu too! 👏🏻 

Can you believe how beautiful and charming this spot is? Also, no, I’m not over those desserts. 😍
