Socially Conscious Shopping with “From #Selfie to Selfless” Author Kristen Perino-Merjanian

“My power lies within my dollar, how I spend it, how I spend my time, where I shop, how I shop, what I put on my body. I can make those personal decisions every single day, and so that’s where I choose to put my effort.” This episode features former fashion publicist turned secondhand fashion influencer and author of “From #Selfie to Selfless” Kristen Perino-Merjanian. She creates positive content on Instagram @selfietoselfless that encourages others to have fun styling secondhand clothes. Kristen reflects that she may not be able to change the fashion executives, but she can control her own purchases and inspire others to embrace ethical fashion. Kristen talks about her personal and professional transformation, shares her passion for secondhand, and debunks common myths about thrifting.
