To be honest, my love of thrifting is not borne out of my love for the environment or my want to leave as little carbon footprint as possible. I mean, I could lie and say that but it’s not so.
I like old things, used things, second hand things, antique things, and I always have. They’re just…interesting.
I’ve thought about making one of those pacts where I only buy second-hand clothes for one solid year. But honestly, I don’t know if I could stick to it. We only have one thrift store now so the selection isn’t great.
I did shop there to find something for Cordelia’s graduation and actually got two dresses and a pair of shoes for $20. Great deal!
But.
I put the shoes on for Cordelia’s prom photoshoot and within 10 minutes they broke. So they went in the garbage.
I guess I could make a pact to MOSTLY purchase second-hand clothing, as much as possible.
Two things I want to do in the future are compost and buy a rain barrel so I can reuse that water for watering my flowers instead of getting water from the tap.
