Episode 148: Resisting the Message of "Newness," with Sara of Club Sandwich

<p>Amanda is joined by Sara, a creative marketing professional and founder of<a href="https://shopclubsandwich.co/"> Club Sandwich,</a> a vintage resale brand. We call out the “invisible” marketing techniques that fill us with a sense of need on a regular basis, and how we can be more mindful (and hopefully overcome them).  Then we will shift into talking about how to build a wardrobe that embodies the slow fashion way of life. And how to avoid the trap of “novelty” items that can only be worn once or twice. We will also discuss the importance of closet organization and how to approach a closet clean out in a productive way. Also: Amanda goes down a rabbit hole of fake review scams.</p><p>Follow Sara on IG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shopclubsandwich/">@shopclubsandwich</a><br>Read this: <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/fake-amazon-reviews-underground-market/">Inside the Underground Market for Fake Amazon Reviews</a>, Simon Hill, Wired.</p><p>Have questions/comments/cute animal photos?
