Today is Day Four of the national campaign by the organisation, TRAID, called #secondhandfirst week. For seven days we are being encouraged to wear clothing that is second-hand. I have committed to wearing 90% second hand each day (only my shoes and underwear are new).
Today I worked so had to be fairly smart (ish). Saying that all of this outfit, including the necklace (but minus tights and shoes) came from charity shops or clothes swaps:
Great job! I too buy only my undergarments, socks and shoes new. I have been getting all my clothes second hand for most of my life! As my mom used to say “once you wash it, they are used anyways so why buy new for the big bucks?!”
Thank you for your comment. Yes I’ve been second-hand for most of my life too – much prefer rummaging through thrift stores than buying the same clothes as everyone else in High Street stores.
