uying vintage clothing or up cycling your old clothing has a Positive Environmental Impact. Modern girls care about the environment and we should. There is no question that purchasing new clothes has a negative impact on our world - whether it's through harmful emissions or sweatshop labor, the clothing manufacturing process is destructive. Here's a few interesting facts:

2. The average westerner's annual clothing purchases account for about 1/2 the amount of Carbon Dioxide emitted by a small car!
3. America throws away two quadrillion pounds of used clothing each year!!! There are so many reasons to buy vintage pieces! Stay blessed and beautiful...
