I haven't totally delved into the environmental clothing issues bc I know once I do I won't go back (not that it's good to delay as much as I'm waiting to be mentally committed) and it's good that the Internet is helping everyone get the clothing sizes in fun pieces!!

It's great that most retro-reproduction brands produce clothes for most sizes, but I feel like it's a huge problem that the stores most younger girls would know about (e.g. Forever 21, H+M, Charlotte Russe, etc) don't. That's such a crucial age for self-esteem, and it's *terrible* for one's self-esteem to not be able to fit into anything in a store!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18317728664231218677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40657211281649935.post-57961495166862213042016-06-11T06:20:50.258-07:002016-06-11T06:20:50.258-07:00Great post!!

I completly agree with what you are saying, and it makes me mad too, that so many stores and companies still do this! It's hard to believe in 2016 that it's still so rampantly going on. It's awesome you get so much clothing secondhand! I love doing that, too.Colur Me Bristolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019786879027783203noreply@blogger.com
