'Goodwill' hunting

As we all know, fashion changes rapidly and new trends are introduced daily making it easy for consumers to head straight to fast fashion stores, such as H&M, Forever 21, or Zara for the latest (and most reasonably priced) trends, without a second thought. The biggest problem with this mindset though, is that buying clothes that are so disposable means they are likely to end up in a landfill and therefore contributing to the massive amount of textile waste produced each year. The solution to this issue is quite simple: search outside that box we all know as The Mall. With a little perseverance and patience, you can find some pretty cool things at consignment and vintage stores. When you take the time and look through the racks, finding a garment that is fashionable yet unique is completely worth it! Not to mention, vintage stores carry some beautiful, one-of-a-kind accessories that will have you questioning why you bought those 5 rings that make your fingers green. Take a look at these completely second-hand outfits, then start google-mapping the nearest Goodwill.
