I decided to try to make up for some of my slips into dining at McDonaldland by making a conscious decision to reclaim clothes for my new wardrobe. I am in a new place and having to build a work wardrobe from almost nothing. Much of my clothing was donated to charities when I left Hawaii since tropical clothing wasn't going to help me elsewhere. I decided to try to off set crazy American consumption by buying only reclaimed clothes. It is taking patience and creativity to pull this off, but what better place to do it. I had forgotten how much black colored clothing that event companies expect you to have in your wardrobe. I feel a little bit better knowing that these clothes are getting a second chance, and they are smashing to boot.
This act of reclaiming is dedicated to my blogging buddy Cally who gently encourages us to think a little more about the earth http://callycreates.blogspot.com/
