Tell Me Tuesday: Where do you find green fashion?

I’ve been on a bit of a shopping hiatus for the last year, so I’m really interested in refreshing my closet, and the holiday sales are pretty tempting. The challenge, though, is in making good choices – finding eco-friendly, ethical clothing can be challenging and confusing. So before going crazy on Boxing Day, I’m doing some research.

Now that is a green dress! From: https://greenkultur.com/shaleahs-blog/5-ways-to-spot-eco-fashion-fakes-2542012
I’ve come across a few helpful hints that I wanted to share:
·     Try a clothing swap with your friends – they’re stylish, I’m sure, and maybe looking to trade in a few pieces for something new (to them).  It’s always a good time, and can be really satisfying to see your old clothes find new lives.
·     Visit some vintage stores – you never know what you’ll find!
·     Explore the options at Fashioning Change, a site that offers “stylish eco-friendly and ethical alternatives to your favorite name brands.”
·     Check out some local options on Etsy, where you can find some fantastic unique pieces.
·     For more info and resources, visit Fashion Takes Action, Canada’s only non-profit organization that focuses on sustainability in the fashion industry.
I also am a frequent shopper in my family and friends’ closets – I regularly borrow items, sometimes for years!  (Eventually they forget that those shoes ever belonged to them, and they’re mine, all mine!)  It’s both fun and cost effective, and there’s no buyer’s remorse.
Of course, it’s also important to make sure discarded clothing goes to a good home – I try to donate the wearable pieces to resale outlets like Goodwill.
Since I’m still craving a black circle skirt, I’m sure I’ll be hitting the shops soon – do you have any eco-friendly clothing shopping tips to share before I do?
