I don't wash my clothes too often and that keeps the shape and seems of the garment from tearing (+ good for the environment). I've had so many hoodies and sweaters that in the end just looked like a big, flat piece of fabric..
Before I throw something away I think of what other possibilities the garment still have. If it's jeans I often cut off a leg and use if I need to repair another pair. Last week I saved two of my favourite jeans from the trash! I have a hard time throwing away clothes in general, often I stuff them at the back of my closet until I miss/need them.
This summer I didn't have money to get a new jacket so I took one of my mums old jeans jackets and sew a Bloody Rainbow patch on it. I still don't feel that jeans jackets are my thing, but that made it more 'me' and fun to wear!
