Sustainable Fashion: The Vintage Connection

If you're wearing authentic vintage, not to be confused with "vintage style," then congratulations!  Not only are you a trend setter, you are an ethical fashionista.

From what I've read, fashion is the #2 polluter of our planet...right behind the oil industry. Did you know that a "T-shirt takes 700 gallons of water to produce," according to ThreadUp, the largest online seller of secondhand clothes. They also advise that "fashion will drain a quarter of the world's carbon budget by 2050."

"More than half of the 100-billion garments produced end up in incinerators & landfills," according to a segment on the NBC Today show.

Had I know then what I know now, I would not have spent my weekends at the mall shopping for clothes that I did not need and sometimes never even wore. That's right, I still have clothes in my closet from the 90s with their labels.  But I'm trying to make my wrongs right, buying less, wearing what's in my closet & selling my vintage clothing on Etsy.

Should you want to see some of the vintage I have for sale, please visit my Etsy shop: Florida Beach Finds and mention this blog to receive a 20% off coupon.

Sailfish Marina

One of my favorite places, Sailfish Marina, sits on the inlet between Palm Beach and Singer Islands. It's like looking into an aquarium, when the tide is high. You can dine on fresh seafood at the restaurant and find unique beach/sea inspired clothing and souvenirs at the ship store.
