Five Garments. Five Looks, over Five Days. It’s that easy to change the world.
It’s easier than ever to buy new, cheap clothing. But the reality is that the garment industry still has one of the worst records when it comes to the treatment of the people working in it, as well as its overall effect on the environment. YOU can change that.
Instead of ordering something new when you’re trying to figure out what to wear, challenge yourself to take another look in your closet and make a mindful, conscious decision.
In fact… I 5x5 Challenge you!
Here’s the Deal:
In April, go through your closet and pick out 5 items to create a capsule wardrobe that you will wear over the course of 5 days. Specifically Monday, April 19th through Friday the 23rd, 2021, during Fashion Revolution Week.

Post all 5 days with your ‘Outfit of the Day’; tag with #FashionRevolution2021 AND #AIBI5x5Challenge
