Outfit Post: Secondhand Nirvana

So I decide I'm going to focus more on writing about my community and then give you an onslaught of personal outfit posts. My bad. One thing: outfits pics are easier to post than researched articles- and another- well, let's just say I'm bad at doing what I'm told, even if it's me doing the telling. Is anyone else that way? C'mon, we're rebels.

Rebellious, yet practical.

Walk the Walk: Shop Secondhand First

A few years ago, inspired by the stylish and thrift fellow bloggers, Emily of the Daily Fashionista, and the unforgettable Reva of Reva's Rags to Roses, I created a pledge. You can see the start of it HERE.  Realizing that I was partial to style bloggers who focused on vintage and/or thrift shopping, and that they, like myself were trying to do their part to be ethical and sustainable shoppers. Reva and I discussed this and she made a pledge widget for us to display on our sidebars. I recently ran across this pledge on a blogger's sidebar, someone I didn't know, and someone who didn't know that the pledge was originated by me. What we both knew, is that we were both committed to creating a lighter carbon footprint, and one of our strategies was to SHOP SECONDHAND FIRST.

I was inspired earlier this year, by Emily of The Daily Fashionista when she did a guest post here at the Citizen and shared her pledge to SHOP SECOND HAND. While we've already been great thrift shoppers already, I was inspired by Emily to create a pledge and honor it this year. I am teaming up with another thrifty shopper, the incredible Reva of Revas Rags 2 Roses, and we are all participating in this pledge, the SHOP SECOND HAND FIRST. I invite you all to join in. Feel free to sign up, just leave a comment and your email and I'll mail you the widget AND add your name to my sidebar for the month of April!
