It’s time to slimline

by Sarah Knapman

We all have those times when we pull something from our wardrobes and think to ourselves “Why did I buy this?” It’s a growing trend that more and more clothes are being thrown away or passed on. Every item that is thrown out ends up on a landfill, causing more harm to the environment then is necessary. The answer is to slimline our wardrobes, and buy quality not quantity. Vintage, not brand new.
