Its super easy to create Halloween looks by colour blocking outfits and being creative with some make up like @b_collina and @dreams.of.a.magpie . You can DIY your own costume just like our very own Pumkin Queen @lauren_cowdery . Not feeling up to creating your own, raid your local charity shops for peoples costumes from previous years like @annesutcliffe13 and @emma.f.79 . What we don't need to do is buy single use, nylon based costumes that go into landfill! . . . . #sustainablehalloween #pumkinqueen #pumpkinspicewitch #pumpkin🎃 #halloweencostume #diyhalloweencostume #halloween2019 #queenofhalloween #sustainablefashion #swapdontshop #circulareconomy #leedsevents #swapdontshop #zerowasteleeds #independentleeds #circulareconomy #zerowastefashion #zerowaste #loveleeds #loveleedslife #leedscity #secondhandfirst #sustainablefashion #consciousconsumer #lovedclotheslast #leedsblogger #sustainablelife #leedsbyexample #clothesdeservetobeworn

Looking for your Halloween 2019 outfit? We suggest doing it yourself. Just like Lauren and her now infamous pumpkin dress, which she picked up at an exchange a couple of years ago. . So ditch the plastic heavy wear once costumes, make something your self and it might sneak into your everyday wardrobe . . . . #sustainablehalloween #pumkinqueen #pumpkinspicewitch #pumpkin🎃 #halloweencostume #diyhalloweencostume #halloween2019 #queenofhalloween #sustainablefashion #swapdontshop #circulareconomy #leedsevents #swapdontshop #zerowasteleeds #independentleeds #circulareconomy #zerowastefashion #zerowaste #loveleeds #loveleedslife #leedscity #secondhandfirst #sustainablefashion #consciousconsumer #lovedclotheslast #leedsblogger #sustainablelife #leedsbyexample #clothesdeservetobeworn

Interested in finding yourselves some underwear that is more caring towards the environment one of our members seems to be over the moon @sustainablyenchanted . So I've officially found the comfiest underwear ever 🧡😁 Underwear I can sleep in, dance in, cartwheel in and that also happens to be totally ecofriendly, is something I can really get behind 🙌 • There is no getting around the devastating ethical and environmental impacts of fast fashion, an industry that contributes more to climate change than international aviation and shipping combined 😱 • Reducing consumption and reusing what we already have is obviously the best way forward, alongside charity shopping and clothes swapping 💚 But finding new underwear when all your others are quite literally falling apart is a hard one, then it kinda comes down to buying less and buying better 🌿 • I've been researching tencel material for a while now, it's made from ecofriendly wood pulp and refined into sustainable thread which means the garments are smoother than cotton and don't release any microplastics into the water system upon washing. It also feels as soft as silk and I'm not sure I will ever want to take it off 😊 • Big thank you to @organicbasics for letting me try out their products and for using your business to be kind to both humans and the planet 🌍 #gifted • P.S - The harems are another favourite garment of mine, picked up at @leedscommunityclothingexchange a few months ago 💚 . . . . #sustainablefashion #secondhandseptember #swapdontshop #leedsevents #swapdontshop #zerowasteleeds #independantleeds #circulareconomy #zerowastefashion #zerowaste #ethicalfashion #ethicalconsumer #loveleeds #loveleedslife #leedscity #secondhandfirst #secondhandfashion #sustainablefashion #ethicalconsumer #consciousconsumer #consciousfashion #lovedclotheslast #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #ecofashion #ethicalfashion #fblogger #sustainablefashionblogger #ecofashionblogger #leedsblogger #sustainablelife #leedsbyexample #clothesdeservetobeworn
