I didn\u2019t want to wear the same clothes too much as I didn\u2019t want to wear them out and have another mending job on my hands<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Nobody really cares if you wear the same dress for days on end<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">I was able to emulate one of the latest fashions with stuff I already owned.

Do you need 20 items or could you cope with five, or even less?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Get creative and embellish just one unloved item of clothing, shoes or accessories. You could even make an accessory like a brooch with scraps you find around your home..<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Mend something that you would otherwise throw away or replace.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2014\/aug\/13\/problem-with-fast-fashion-how-to-fix-it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below are some views about how to deal with the fast fashion trend.
