In an effort to be more eco-friendly, especially on said Earth Day, I've looked up a few things you can do fashion-wise to be green. (Source: US News & World Report)
1)Try to minimize the amount of fast fashion- i.e. cheaply-made, trendy items that aren't meant to last more than a season or two - you purchase. Fast fashion is often made overseas, and uses synthetic fabrics that won't biodegrade.
***are you serious?! No Forever 21! Blasphemy! I haven't shopped there for awhile, but, whatever...H&M too? Topshop? What does this mean? I think, what US News & World Report is trying to convey, is that we should only wear designer duds? Well, perfect.
2)Buy vintage, or ask relatives for their old clothing. Not only is it cool, but it's well-made, and often comes with a story, or a memory of a family member - like the retro 80s belt handed down from my mother, or the vintage leather Coach purse from my grandmother. Digging through your parents' attic could give you a new accessory wardrobe, without having to buy any new stuff.
***This tip-love it. I love old crap...I mean vintage. It's so glorious and if your lucky enough to carry your granny's bag...or some cool jewelry, it means something too. (And if it doesn't, that's a whole other issue) Awesome. My husband is the most green man I know...he has "Gaitlinburg 1970" t-shirts. Bartels & Jaymes..Busch Gardens...
The pic of the dude started Earth Day in 1970. Yay Gaylord. Work it out.
