I had an extra 15 minutes to browse charity shops when I missed the bus, but this unsurprisingly didn't yield any success. So I took to freecycle to see if anyone had a spare pair lying around. I am in a Facebook (zero waste free cycle Ireland) group that has a lot of my sustainably minded friends in it, so I don't know if it was because I was asking among people I knew that added to my speedy success, but I had a new pair of gloves lined up in 7 minutes! Bam! Easy peasy, picking them up tomorrow!
When people hear that you try not to buy new stuff they get the impression that you will end up dressed in rags, and since I feel that we should all be ambassadors for this way of life, I try not to let that happen, so when the pair of gloves that I used for the last 2 winters (that I found in some sort of lost property bag in my dad's wardrobe and have age 11 printed on the label) started to get a hole (which actually developed quite quickly) in one finger (and as it turns out on closer examination is wearing thin on most of the others) I had to act quickly.

Over the last 2 years that I have been on this journey towards living more sustainably the aspect I have always been most interested in is clothes, that´s what I find myself googling or looking up on youtube, and wardrobe articles are the ones that I am most likely to click on when they show up in my news feed..
