Tomorrow (24 April, 2015) is Fashion Revolution Day and until the other day I had never heard of this event! It's only in it's second year but it's something we should all get behind! Ever wondered where your clothes are made and who makes them? Recently, I have become more interested in this. I decided …
Mutual Muse
If you have need to get rid of unwanted clothing but don’t want to part with it for free, firstly I don’t blame you and secondly I have the solution for you. The other day was my first experience of exchanging my clothes with a business. I’ve donated before and tried to sell my own …
