Tips for Wearing (and Saving) O' the GREEN

NEW LIFE, NOT NEW CLOTHES - Shop for clothes that are new to you rather than new to the planet.

Vintage is always stylish, thrift stores offer prices better than clearance sales and
consignment stores can be a great place to shop while bringing some green to your wallet. (check out my favorite one for my family: http://www.storkexchange.net/)

Invite your friends to have a clothes swap party once a season. Eat, drink and get a new look for yourself while getting rid of ones you'd rather forget!


LOOK GOOD, FEEL GOOD AND BE GOOD FOR THE PLANET -
Find clothes made of natural fibers (no polys please) made by companies that give back rather than just taking - your money AND natural resources.
