On today’s show, we’re chatting with Melissa, you may know her online as Mel Wore It! Mel is a Toronto-based graphic designer and part time content creator, juggling her creative endeavors with the joys of motherhood.

She loves thrifting and shopping secondhand, and she unpacks the joys and journeys of her sustainable living practices online on TikTok and Instagram. On this episode, we chat a lot about the personal style journey, and what choosing secondhand has taught Mel about herself, plus some of the sustainability resolutions and practices she’s put in place to help her keep continuing to improve her shopping habits.
