Pants after 12 weeks

Pants after 12 weeks

Here you can see how one of the pairs looked like after these 12 weeks. And I want to note that I had two of them, worn equally much. So actually I wore each pair for 6 weeks. That’s only 42 days! And note that most of the time I hand washed them and hung up to dry. This is the quality we get for cheap clothing.

Another story for the shirt thought – both of them made it through alive with no visible stains, tears, odors or anything. Of course clothes on the upper body – especially if they are wide, don’t go through as much rubbing like pants, and therefore they are easier to take good care of.
Shoes, jacket and sweater also made it through, with normal wear and tear – nothing drastic.

Even thought the trial era officially ended for me at this point – now three weeks ago – I still haven’t gone back to my other clothes. I have been in Spain and in Norway with my family and only just wear the shirt and my shorts when I am not in my bikini, work-out clothes or my pyjamas.

Right now I am deciding how to proceed with this in the fall and winter back home in Iceland. I have decided that I wan’t to adapt this lifestyle to my every day, all days. But what to wear and what to do has been harder to figure out than I expected. And durable or sustainable clothes are not so easy to find – I have found out.
I will keep you updated when I have figured out more.

Lastly, I want to point out that today is earth’s ‘overshoot day’, meaning that today we have used up all our planet’s resources, that it is able to regenerate, this year. This day is six days earlier then last year, but we are currently living like we would have access to 1,6 earths. This is just something that we all should really think about and try our best to contribute to making a difference, because we only have this one planet. Read more about it in The Guardian.
