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.

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredit NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @meredith_costumes of @palmacolectiva 🎤 

Episode 69: From Hollywood Costume Designer to Wellness Founder: Meredith Markworth-Pollack on Burnout, Healing, & Starting Over 🙏 

In this episode, I’m joined by Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of holistic wellness space, Palma Colectiva. Meredith spent almost two decades as a costume designer on shows like Gossip Girl, Reign, Hart of Dixie, and Dynasty. After facing major industry burnout, she decided to uproot her life, move to Santa Barbara, and start from scratch in the wellness space. 👗 

We chat about success not being enough, struggling with multiple forms of grief, and “wellness” becoming a popular buzzword. Meredith shares the ups and downs of starting and maintaining a business and how there isn’t only one “right” healing modality for someone. She shares about divorce, creating retreats for women, and how listening to herself and choosing health changed everything. 🕊️ 

Whether you are seeking clarity, community, or well-being, I believe you will benefit from this conversation that proves vulnerability really is a super power! 👏🏻
