Recycled Clothing: Putting Reuse to Good Use
One woman's trash is another woman's treasure.
Green fashion doesn't always have to be new to add it to your closet. In fact, the ultimate gesture of becoming more eco-friendly is to practice the golden rule of green: recycle.
When you buy recycled clothing, you give new life to something considered old or undesirable. Plus, buying vintage and recycled clothing is also a fantastic way to bring a little individuality to your style. Believe me. No one is going to have that fabulous vintage alligator clutch purse. No one.
Finding gently used clothing can be an adventure. Take it from me; there isn't a more fun way to green your closet--especially when you never know what you're going to find.
With many options for finding quality, secondhand fashion, you won't have any trouble adding a little green to your closet.
