There’s one thing we know about fashion – it changes. ALL THE TIME. Staying on top of the trends is not only exhausting, it’s also damaging the planet, and not to mention your wallet.
With new styles coming in every season from fast fashion brands, it can all feel overwhelming. So this post is for our susty swappers who like staying on-trend, but want to protect our environment in the process.
