In today’s world, people are becoming more and more concerned about the environment. If you are one of these people, you are probably thinking of ways on how to help save the earth. You save water and energy at home, you separate trash in their respective containers, you recycle and reuse things, and now, you are asking if there is still something else that you have not tried, or more appropriately, tried on. Are you familiar with natural shoes? If your answer is no, then you might want to add “wear natural shoes” in your long list of things to do now that you are going green.

Throughout the last few Tuesdays I have been writing about recycled fashion, and how to go through your wardrobe to decide what you should keep and what should be given away in the form of donations. This helps the environment by making use of existing materials rather than new ones.

On this blog I document a lot of my struggles concerning going green. However, most of this is limited to style and fashion. Ethical clothes are just one way to go green – there is so much else left to be done! But I don’t think it’s bad to just focus on one thing. After all, going green is about taking small steps all the time.

I don’t know about you, but I often buy clothes without thinking much about it. I get excited at the prospect of owning yet another skirt or dress, before I quickly come to realize that it really doesn’t go with anything and I’m unlikely to ever even wear it!

Fashion is a tricky business. On the one hand we want to look as exciting as possible, with a wide range of designs, fabrics and colours, but on the other we want to do what we can for the environment.

In the case of accessories, there are many ways in which you can find eco friendly bags that are both fashionable and eco friendly! Read the rest of this entry »

But it takes a good clear out to make sure you really do get rid of what you don’t need – and what you are left with is true eco chic fashion!
If you haven’t read part one yet, check it out! – Sorting Through What You Own!
