My post on why I don’t shop at thrift stores struck a chord with several of you. Happily for those of us who are thrift-challenged, Let’s Be Fair has a terrific post on How to Score at the Thrift Store.
Remember how I was wishing for a Stitch-Fix-like service for second-hand clothes? It exists! I haven’t tried SecondHands Fashion, but my friend Bethany raves about it.
The Ethical Writers Coalition is hosting a Second Hand Challenge this month. You can read more about the challenge and why it matters over at StyleWise.
Congrats to FashionABLE and Miriam Designs, who have merged their beautiful companies to provide sustainable employment to women in Africa and here in Nashville.
Finally, I’m so, so excited to see that the Nashville Fashion Alliance has opened their first sewing training academy. The three-week course will provide job skills to immigrants and refugees in Nashville and will help create a skilled labor force to support the Nashville fashion community.
Have a great weekend, friends!
