Lately I’ve been making a conscious commitment to be more eco friendly in my fashion selections. If you’ve read my other posts on fast fashion then you know how horrendous our current consumer habits are for the planet. While I know that the most eco friendly thing we can do is to shop second hand and buy less overall, most of us (myself included) still want to buy new things from time to time, so I want to bring you some of my favorite eco friendly fashion finds so you can begin to make more conscious purchases.
Remember it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being mindful. I don’t think it’s realistic to stop buying clothes all together, and the economy depends on our spending so I want to make sure that my dollars are going to brands that are making efforts towards sustainability.
I’ve recently been going through the Asos website and I found what is called their “Responsible Edit” which lets you browse items that are either made from recycled materials or sustainable produced materials. How awesome is that!?
So I’ve put together a round up of my favorite summer items that are all made with sustainable or recycled materials.
