Goodwill hunting #2

Clothing made from organic or recycled fabric is a dime a dozen, so thrift shopping is an easier way to go for eco-fashion.

On today's trip, I found a vintage '80s desperate housewife turquoise robe. For some odd reason, I always wanted one, so I'm glad I found it. 

Now I'm burdened with the task of disposing of the terry cloth robe I had since I was 12 years old. The environmentalist inside of me says, "Don't throw it away." But it's so old that my shampoo neck rings are not washing off anymore, so I can't donate it to Goodwill. 

It got me thinking about clothes you shouldn't donate to the thrift store or throw in the trash because of tears, holes, stains, etc. even though there are parts that can still be  recycled. Stay tuned for information on that. 

Also, I found a form-fitting black and white business dress. It's Merona, so I can easily get it from Target, not exactly vintage (it may be circa 2004) but still cheaper than buying it from the original source. 

And there was a high slit in the back that could give you a reputation in the office, but the former dress owner neatly sewn it shut. Clothes already tailored to your needs happens to be another advantage to shopping thrifty.
