Note: From Retail Therapy to Real Healing - Conscious Fashion as Self-Work

Many of us have turned shopping into a coping mechanism — buying clothes to soothe emotions or fill a void. I used to buy outfits before every trip, often spending more on pre-vacation shopping than the vacation itself, only to realize they added no real value to my life. Fast fashion fuels this cycle, encouraging quick fixes and leaving us with closets full of unworn clothes and an even deeper emptiness. True healing begins when we pause, reflect, and face the feelings driving our impulses. Conscious consumption and decluttering become powerful tools for self-discovery, helping us release old identities and align with who we are becoming. This process can even be ritualistic — the solar eclipse in Virgo is the perfect moment to clear space and reinvent ourselves. Buying less and with intention is not deprivation but liberation — a way to reclaim our power and create a wardrobe, and a life, that truly serves us.
