Welcome to Sustain This! A slow fashion podcast that's about so much more than clothes. Join us every Tuesday as your hosts Alyssa, Christina and Signe chat all things mindful consumption, personal style and the quest for building a more intentional life...and wardrobe! Alyssa Beltempo is a sustainable stylist, Christina Mychas, a shopaholic turned minimalist-ish, and Signe Hansen is a colour consultant and slow fashion style coach. Together we will unpack the nuances of what it really means be a conscious consumer & find more joy in what we have right now. Let's go!

Thinking of buying (more) new clothes? Ask yourself these questions first.
Why am I buying this? How often do we ask ourselves this question before we make a purchase, and is it the only one that will help us make a more considered purchase? From fit, to comfort, to values, we run through all the questions we ask ourselves before making a purchase. Hopefully this discussion helps the next time you're thinking about buying something!

Is it a 'fit' or is it just Pinterest? Why your outfits never look like the inspo photo
Is it a "fit" or do we just like the vibes they're giving? In today's episode, we break down why carbon copying a fit from the gram or Pinterest can be detrimental to personal style, and how to use outfits we see online as inspiration rather than shopping envy.

Customer Reviews
Just Brilliant!
Absolutely love love love this podcast. Find the content so interesting and inspiring. All 3 presenters are respectful and thought provoking. Well done ladies 🤩
Awesome
Great podcast tgat I was only recently introduced to. My favourite episode so far is the one about balance - it’s really helped me to think about why I might feel like I need to switch things up clothing-wise & how I can do this without spending a penny. I also love the fact that the hosts say they can’t afford x, y, z. Not enough people do this, particularly when talking about clothes/fashion.
Loving these discussions
I’m really enjoying hearing you all diving into such interesting and sometimes difficult ideas. It is great the way you bounce thoughts around and question each other on how you are developing approaches to the issues you have found. Thank you all
