First, just want to say thank you to the new followers :) made my week :)
Please please please take the time to read this.
I walk home, most days from school. The other day, I noticed this boy, a few years younger than me. He always moves out of the way so I can walk past, but I'm quite patient, so sometimes I walk past, sometimes I dont. He's just polite. I couldnt help but notice his shoes. They were too big for him, broken, probably doing some damage to his feet. It made me think. (Of course, I already know this) but this time, it has really stuck in my head. Some people really don't have enough to worry about fashion. I thought poverty wasn't a big problem where I live, but it seems, it is a bit. Okay, i'm exaggerating! He had a coat, gloves, everything he would need but I just feel bad. When thinking about clothes and material things, it is so so important to remember, that it isn't everything. I love fashion, but I think we should all have an awareness that there are many other issues to be dealt with in the world.
Anyway, my mission is, cheap outfits. Not cheap as in bad quality or tarty clothes, but low budget shopping (which is really what I do anyway). I'm going to hunt the internet for alternatives. Alternatives to designer clothes, (and Topshop as it is just too pricey for some things!)
Maybe when I get a job my views will change... but as of now, this is my mission!

P.S. I have to start another blog to log my "journey" in a writing competition I have got into .

mm good point, I saw your comment on another blog and realized we have the same name and spelling which is slightly uncommon so I though I would just point that out. :)
Buying secondhand drastically reduces your fashion ecological footprint. Yay vintage! Maybe you should start a donation drive to buy this boy shoes?
good point - i wish you luck in doing this :)
We are sure dealing with complex problems. :)
ugh cheap clothing is always so hard, and always an issue for me! but I would say secondhand is a must for you
