Finding The Inspiration for the Trend
It’s well known that fashion often looks to the past for inspiration. So, in an effort to be green and save a few (or many!) dollars, we decided to bring you vintage alternatives to new, trendy items.
Because isn’t it better to be the inspiration for the trend? We certainly think so! Plus, not only are vintage items one-of-a-kind, but they are green!
We culled the runways, hip boutiques and Market Publique and we found green alternatives for some of Fall’s biggest trends… Not only are the items very similar, but also a helluva good deal!
