What I wear in a random week

Posted on April 13, 2020July 6, 2023

I’ve written a lot about secondhand fashion already. Whether I think it’s the solution to the fashion crises we’re facing, what clothes I got rid of or bought and even a guide on how you can create a sustainable wardrobe. I always say that I am well on my way to a sustainable wardrobe and that secondhand fashion is fun! But I’ve never really showed you what my wardrobe looks like. Soon I want to document the entire thing and count how many pieces I own right now. But today I want to show you my daily outfits for the period of one week. To show you what secondhand fashion looks like on a daily basis. Here’s what I wear in a random week.

My life at the moment

I have finished my premaster in Januari and will start a master this September. So, currently I am working 50 hours a week to save money for my master year. This means my outfits these days a little bit more comfy than usual because I work at a production company. I start at 7 am and so I never put on make-up or dress up real fancy during the workdays. In the weekend I tend to dress up a little because I am free. So, here’s what I wear in a random week:

Monday & Tuesday

I wore a simple shirt with jeans. Underneath I wore another t-shirt. The shirt and jeans are both secondhand. The shirt is a hand-me-down from my mom and I bought the jeans at my favorite second hand store in Enschede called Vindiets. The t-shirt I wore underneath is secondhand as well I think, but I can’t remember since I feel like I’ve had it forever. The shoes are new, I bought those new about 4 years ago I think.

I wore this outfit for two days, which is the most I can wear outfits on warm days when I work. If I have a really inactive day I can stretch it up to four days, but this time I couldn’t. I did wear another t-shirt underneath on the second day. I do that a lot to wear clothes more often, I just change a shirt underneath. What I also did was change my hair to mix it up a little bit. The first day  I wore a braid and the second say I had a donut in my hair. Same outfit, but different hair.

Wednesday & Thursday

I wore a shirt and jeans on Wednesday, it was really warm day. However, Thursday it got a little colder and so I wore another plain t-shirt underneath. The t-shirt I am wearing is secondhand from Episode and I think I got the jeans secondhand from a friend (I know for sure that it’s secondhand). On the picture you see my working shoes instead of my own shoes, because I have to work these every day at work. But once at home I wore no shoes. Again, I changed my hair on the second day with the same outfit to mix it up a little bit. The first day I had the upper part of my hair up and the second day I wore a pony tail.

Friday

Another day with jeans and a shirt haha! I like things practical at work. The jeans are another hand-me-down item from my mom and the shirt I got secondhand from a friend. The shoes you see here are my work shoes which I lend from the company. Today I realized that I do not want to keep the grey shirt I am working. I have a similar one and I think this one is less pretty and I don’t feel like I need two similar shirts. I once again wore the top of my hair up and the rest down.

Saturday

Weekend! Time to dress up a little more. I wore my boots, which my mom bought new for me (and I now see that I wasn’t wearing them on this picture haha, but they are included on the picture of my outfit of Sunday!), a pair of tights from Swedish Stockings (a sustainable brand) which I bought new and a hand-me-down dress from my mom (jeez, this really makes me realize I have a lot of items from my mom!). I did nothing special with my hair.

Sunday

Another day to dress up, also because my dad is turning 50 today! I wore again my black boots (these literally go with every outfit, I love them), together with the same tights from Swedish Stockings, a dress from Primark which I bought in my pre-sustainable days but still like a lot and a suit jacket which is a hand-me-down from a friend. Again, I just wore my hair loose.

Conclusion

So, that’s what I wear in a random week! I am getting close to loving my outfits every single day, I feel good in my clothes! I wear a lot of secondhand clothes aready, I’d say 80% is secondhand or new but sustainable and 20% is bought in the days before I cared about the environment or fair trade. So, these were the items I wore in a random week!

What did you think of this ‘what I wear in a random week’ post? Would you like to see it more often?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,

Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio Gent, wat was je prachtig 🌆. Dit is absolute een duurzame vakantietip (oh, maar wees niet zo naïef als ik en ga lekker met de trein 🚃). Binnenkort is op Youtube de gehele vakantievlog te bekijken.
