If you are reading this, I am so glad you are here! I am no writer but creating a fun website and blog has always been a dream of mine. I find myself passionate about many things, and I am so excited to put them all into one space.

My name is Kate, and I started The Conscious Closet as, and still is, a creative outlet. The story behind the brand started with my older sister and I reselling our old clothes on Instagram in 2019. When my sister graduated college that year, I wanted to continue the reselling profile on my own. I rebranded in 2021 and named it "The Conscious Closet". I curated drops and began gaining a following of local, extremely supportive, customers. I strictly sold local out of my parents home in Wisconsin.
Last year when I moved to Chicago to attend school and pursue modeling, a lot of things were changing. I was starting a new chapter. I was not sure if I was going to be able to continue my business, but I was fully inspired by my fashion sustainability class and the creative city of people around me.
In April of 2024 I rebranded with the help of my talented peers and friends. I created The Conscious Closet's first online website! I am more than excited to create new and inspiring content while selling gorgeous clothing and accessories (and maybe home decor in the future) for you all. Taking this business to the next level with a mature aesthetic while staying rooted in ethical practices of sustainability is my goal.
With this new website and blog I want to start constructing a place where I can post longer-form content inspiring a conscious lifestyle and tapping into my expertise in wellness, self-help, interior design, environmental awareness, trend forecasting, and so much more! I look forward to splattering my thoughts and connecting the true meaning behind The Conscious Closet with you!
