What does that have to do with what you wear??

If you want to make a difference somewhere, start with your closet. Fast fashion is addictively cheap and fun, glamorizing fashion trends via huge social media campaigns and promising next-dy delivery. At its most extreme, fast fashion brands create garments so cheap that they seem designed for single-use — disposable fashion.

The dark side of fast fashion is the environmental destruction it brings about, as well as global issues in modern slavery and gender inequality. Fast fashion’s use of social media also encourages shopping addictions and leverages FOMO as a buying factor.

To break the cycle, you can:

• Check out this list of 25 fast fashion brands to avoid and why
• Organize a "friend's closet" Treasure Hunt party.. it's SO FUN!! 
• Move to environmentally and socially conscious brands

What can you do with an old t-shirt? An outgrown pair of jeans?

With minimal effort, they can be turned into cool new wardrobe items.

Lastly....

How about hanging outside for a change???

The sun is shining and your friends are free. Forget your screens. Unplug! Get together for an afternoon outside and breathe some fresh air.

You can go for a walk, walk to a park, ride your bikes,  or if you live by the water, go swimming, surfing or kayaking.
