    I find that purchasing pieces that are seasonal-less are easier to rework into my wardrobe regardless of the time of year. I'm drawn to a style that is more comfortable and lived in which I find more at second hand stores. With fashion trends being reused every few years, instead of only supporting fast fashion brands creating trendy throw away pieces I am able  to find similar pieces at local thrift shops around the city. More and more my wardrobe is incorporating thrifted pieces from sweaters to purses giving them a second life. 

    Listening to the Podcast  'Style with Substance' I found it interesting that fast fashion brands that "help" recycle your clothing for a voucher isn't really doing much recycling waste. A large number of people are still throwing away unwanted clothing and item into the bin.
