Day 21: Sustainable Shopping That Is Minty Fresh

Day 21

My project for yesterday's shopping research (again, not to buy but merely to tease and make me strong-like-non-shopping-bull!) was to look into fashion that is more sustainable. So, when I am allowed to shop again in 79 days time (today is 78 as I am currently writing for yesterday) I will shop more consciously and without that 'need' for a shopping fix.

From my title you might ask "Minty Fresh"? Well, my first research stop was to the Peppermint Magazine website (website research as all purchases of magazines are out for me over the length of this challenge!):

One of their writers had done all of the info collecting that I needed in regards to the RAFW (Rosemount Australian Fashion Week). Who knew that Kate Sylvester works with sustainable fabrics, that (to quote the mag  'Ginger & Smart are accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia who not only ensure that workers are treated with respect, but look at the overall fashion picture, including waste'!!! Amazing! Check out Peppermint Mag online, or even buy it - the whole magazine is made with recyclable paper so totally guilt free. Look at pics below from their website and story on RAFW:

Oh, so super fabulous! Look at those shoes and totally-to-die-for KS dress
