Yay, someone else flying the flag for op shopping. Thanks for helping break the stigma that op shoppers are all cat ladies making skirts out of curtains. You can be frugal AND fabulous in how you dress.

As the world's second most environmentally damaging industry (not to mention its appalling labour practices) , buying secondhand is definitely one way to stop contributing to the fast fashion industry. However, I have a massive problem with this idea that you can only be seen in an outfit once - we're not royalty for goodness sake. Even Princess Kate has refused to buy into this ridiculous idea.
Perhaps take a look at the Fashion Revolution for making better clothing choices.

Ha ha I love this comment! Opshops are such a treasure trove of gorgeous things these days, you'd be crazy not to shop there!

You are right, we shouldn't worry about wearing the same thing more than once. A little black dress is always a recyclers friend as it can be dressed up with scarfs, different jewellery & jackets. Swapping with friends is a great way to try a new look too!

I must admit I head straight to the cake tin section of the op-shop, but after that is completed, trawling the racks for a good bargain is a fabulous way to spend some time. My favourite dress came from a church op-shop (paid $5, retailed for $125), and each season I managed to outfit all three of my children in brand-name bathers and rashies for next to nothing.
Many a pleasant hour has been spent on the op-shop trail!

I love the focus on the environment too! We can feel good about reducing the manufacturing cost for these treasures!
