Every August 17th is National Thrift Shop Day. Also known as thrift stores, thrift shops sell used goods from clothes, household items, to watches. This day is supposed to remind us that it is a great day to do some sustainable shopping or to donate things that we have in our home that we no longer need nor use.

Think about shopping more sustainably

Today is National Secondhand Wardrobe Day. Created in 2004, it is supposed to encourage us to think about shopping more sustainably when adding to our collection of clothes, or "wardrobe." 

Thrift stores can be a good alternative for acquiring clothing that is new to us, even though it may have been around the block a time or two. It has been suggested that there are online options as well, such as eBay.This can be seen as both beneficial to our budgets and to the planet. 

It is worth a thought. Wishing you a day filled with thrifty finds and sustainable style.
