Earth Day Fashion Tips

Earth day is here, and more than ever, we need to think about what
we can each do to show a little love for Mother Earth and be a little
more gentle with how we think about consumption and disposal.

Here are a few ways you can stay fashionable and earth-friendly all
year long -some of these might be “duh!” but a little reminder every
now and then doesn’t hurt anybody:

1) Read the label-where is the product made, does it include any organic or recycled fibers? A great brand to check out: Alternative Apparel.

2) Support fledgling, eco-friendly brands and designers.

3) Shop  Etsy.com, shop vintage, and try to reduce your dry cleaning. Wash by hand, using products such a Woolite when possible.

4) Donate your too big/too small/never worn/wear too infrequently apparel items to resale shops; those in need will appreciate it more than your closet!

5) Fix clothes that may need a slight makeover, like getting shoes
resoled or those stiletto “tips” put on, instead of trashing them and
getting new items.
