What is Greenwashing?

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]’m sure by now, everyone connected to the internet is familiar with the term “fast fashion” and its detrimental impact on the planet. I’m here to tell you that it’s not your fault, but the fault of millionaire fashion companies that successfully brainwash us. The fast fashion industry is a mind-game, advertisement is more convincing than ever and as a society, we have the largest sum of disposable income than ever before.

Finding your Style when Charity Shopping

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]here is a myth that every charity shop will smell, be overcrowded and dirty… and I can confirm this is completely true, but their positives outweigh these minor “issues”. There is definitely still a stigma surrounding charity shops; the idea of digging through old people’s clothes doesn’t exactly equate to the simplicity of exploring the ‘New In’ section of Topshop – but it is far more fun and rewarding.
