Starting in 2025, we're hosting monthly meetings the 1st Mon. of each month.

We want to create a consistent touch point for our community, connect with other like-minded folks, and learn something new.

RSVP at the link in bio to kick the year off with fresh intentions for your conscious closet!
Green and teal background with dark teal vertical stripe along the left side. White heading text says Monthly Meeting. Subtext says join us for the first monthly meeting of the year! A circle shape photo to the right shows 3 women talking. It is overlapped by the Conscious Closet Club logo - a light green button surrounded by the club's name. Three light green, narrow and wide ovals say January 6, 2025, 6:00 - 7:00 PM, Zoom. The Chicago Fair Trade logo is at the bottom in white.
