Friday ReBlog: a Consigned Capsule Wardrobe

I’ve followed Minimalist Beauty for a few years and it is chock-full of style inspiration and simple and healthy beauty routines.  Dawn Michelle, the blogger behind MB, has recently started exploring zero waste and also has lots of info on how to skip shampoo, make your own makeup, and other easy, eco-friendly topics.  If any of the above interest you, get amongst it!

After checking out some of my capsule wardrobe efforts this week, I thought I’d cap us off by showing you Dawn’s capsule wardrobe—she’s decided to do just one for the whole year in order to further cut down on waste, spending, and hassle.  She’s even designed a few of her own pieces; they’re fairly straightforward to make but absolutely lovely on, so check those out if you’re the seamstress-y type.

Happy Friday, thrifters!

 

Where Do Your T-Shirts Go When They Die?

The Spouse directed me to this Planet Money podcast about where t-shirts go when they die, aka when you donate them to a thrift store but nobody buys them.  That sounds real sad, but fear not–some of them get a really interesting afterlife!

Listen here.

The t-shirt Planet Money made for the original “Life of a T-Shirt” podcast.  I’m scratching my head just like you are.

 

Have a great weekend, Thrifters!  Check back next week for a little South Georgia thrifting coming to you from the Americus Salvation Army.
