Thanks so much for this and the upside is that shopping second hand fuels creativity! What started as a financial decision quickly became a creative decision. Hugs to you my good sweet friend!!!

Before I buy anything new I always check the few second hand shops here. But only on very rarely have I had any luck in finding clothes in my size. Can I still take the pledge when I mostly buy new, out of necessity?<br /><br />Not only do we reduce our carbon footprint when we buy second hand. We also avoid exploiting workers in the fashion industry, so all the more reason to shop second hand first!Kaffesoesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267246012323895992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306737686495027327.post-49993863402903503762012-11-09T05:43:20.776-08:002012-11-09T05:43:20.776-08:00I'm with you Bella, and have been for years. ...I'm with you Bella, and have been for years.

Y...Rosebud-Bella, I want to be you when I grow up. You are, of course, ethically spot-on by this effort. The ability to repurpose and renew is something I miss about Seattle. Here in rural areas, we need to work harder on this. I'ts not impossible, but much more challenging when the resale shops are filled with little but worn out WalMart items, and thick pastel polyester from "estate sales". Almost all of the resale shops here focus (necessarily and sustainably) on kids clothing, and are a boon for local moms. I may not be able to honestly adopt this practice, but I can do more than I do. There are a couple of new consignment shops about 40 miles away that do a better job than many, and I can do more there. Thanks for the poke and the reminder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306737686495027327.post-43527111958830770062012-11-08T02:42:00.681-08:002012-11-08T02:42:00.681-08:00Secondhand shopping is a lovely idea and I'm s...Secondhand shopping is a lovely idea and I'm slowly becoming more intrigued by it - I always find more unique finds than what are typically displayed in stores like Forever 21 etc. <br /><br />However, what truly enraptures me about secondhand shopping is how cheap it is! It's an amazing way to snag new wardrobe pieces for low prices, being able to purchase 3-4 vintage dresses in the price of one Topshop one! Of course, it's sustainable and ethical as well but I was initially attracted by the price!<br /><br />Lovely post, dear! <br /><br />Love, Fatima (<a href="http://fashionpilgrim.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">fashionpilgrim</a><br />Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/fashpilgrim" rel="nofollow">@fashpilgrim</a><br />Instagram: @fashionpilgrimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306737686495027327.post-9954348222630861822012-11-07T20:58:07.662-08:002012-11-07T20:58:07.662-08:00Yes.
