Cheap and Eco-Friendly Clothes, Oh My!

This last week, I tried someone else's one small thing! I've always been kind of curious about sustainable fashion and how I would go about starting to focus my efforts towards it without raising my budget too much. I always thought that the more sustainable and eco-friendly the clothes, the more expensive they would be which is a problem for people like me: teenagers who like fashion but don't have the money to "afford sustainable clothing." 

As it turns out, sustainable clothing isn't as expensive as you think! After reading May's blog on thrifting (https://sustainabilitywithmay.blogspot.com/), I decided to try it for myself. I've thrifted before but I've only done it about three times before (and not very frequently). This week, I went to a couple different in-person thrift stores (Goodwills, mostly) and online thrift-ed, a ton! 

I found a couple things I like! And while I haven't ordered them just yet (I'm still considering it), I was glad to find things that actually interested me. There were a lot more cute clothes on the apps than I thought there would be. Below are Hawaiian shirts (which are a clothing piece I've been looking for lately!) There were also dresses and sweatshirts I like but I won't be sharing those considering I might want them 😉.

I've always been quite interested in thrifting but I never have the time nor transportation to go. Learning about sustainable and eco-friendly ways to get clothing online was really helpful for me! It makes everything convenient and as fun as online-shopping on any other website. 

Below is an image from January. It's of my boyfriend posing the last time I went thrifting (until this week, of course):
