Yes, we all know it feels pretty awesome to go out and buy something new. Sometimes you have to pause and think...geez I'm feeding into this consumer nation. Buying tons of stuff is really not the right way to act in a recession- I think we all know that too.
It's a known fact that fashion and styles recycle. So why not go to a thrift store and pick up some retro things that are in style (You're guarenteed to find something!) If you can't find anything that's in style...It's okay to experiment people. Create your own style.
If you're one of those people that just can't stand to think that someone else wore what you want to buy? Suck it up. I'm sure you have things in your closet that are hella cute but really only wore once. This could be the case with these clothes too and besides, a little laundry detergent never heard anybody.
What I'm trying to get to here is this:
1. I'm an Enviro. Sci. Major and I still find ways to protect the environment while maintaining my love for fashion. (So you can do it too).
2. You don't only have to buy recycled clothing, you can also find purses, scarfs, accessories, and cool random stuff at thrift stores.
3. You can also make money buy giving bags of clothes to the salvation army, while continuing to shop around for some sweet finds.
4. You can find vintage designer pieces. And we all love that :]
