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. Not only do cheap and poorly manufactured clothes wear out faster,  you’ll know for a fact that someone else will have the same thing and that they will wear it the same time as you and be walking down the same street or partying in the same club as you.
