Today is #givingtuesday . This weekend we held our last exchange of the year, in the middle of the #blackfriday madness. It was fantastic to see so many people taking a step away from standard consumerism. . Ultimately though we have to thank our Volunteers. Without their willingness to give up their time, the exchange would not happen. . If you'd like to be a part of slowing down consumption of new clothing. We start again in the New Year, drop us an email if you'd like to get involved. Sequins are optional ✨ . . . . #clothesdeservetobeworn #dressinghappy #nonewclothes2019 #sustainablefashion #secondhandfashion #swapdontshop #lovedclotheslast #lovefashionhatewaste #giveback #nonprofit #givingback #makeadifference #philanthropy #charitytuesday #socialgood #givingbacktothecommunity #socialimpact #community #localcharity #dogood #helpothers #goodcause #givingtuesday2019 #bethechange #supportlocal #rosabloomwin

It's that time of year again. Black Friday seems to be bigger than ever, with retailers extending the discount periods for even longer. . We are mindful of the fact that this 'sale' will allow people to buy items that they may not normally purchase. But at what cost to the environment and the people making these products? How can retailers afford to cut prices so massively one day a year? And yet still turn a profit? . . . . #blackfriday #buynothingday #thereisnoplanetb #buynothing #zerowaste #greenfriday #consumerism #makesmthng #blackfriday2019 #sustainableliving #noblackfriday #sustainable #sustainability #buylesschoosewell #lessismore #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #fuckblackfriday #bethechange #consciousliving #antiblackfriday #buyless #buynothingdosomething #reusing #thinkbeforeyoubuy #boycottblackfriday #buynothingday2019 #fashionrevolution #dontshop #lesswaste

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

Another fantastic Secondhand September look from one of our members. . A week later and the wave is still going strong - I reckon it’s got another good day left in it! Tomorrow I absolutely HAVE to brush it out though 😩 This outfit is all second hand for #secondhandseptember - skirt bought off @miss_amy_may a couple of years back and top from @leedscommunityclothingexchange 🙌🙌 . #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #thriftedfashion #chooseused #30wears #clothesdeservetobeworn #secondhand #secondhandfirst #preloved #clotheshavestories #shopyourwardrobe #wearyourwardrobe #wearwhatsthere #iwearusedclothes #vintagegirl #vintagestyle #modernvintage #modernpinup #pinupgirl #pinupstyle #vintagedress #vintagefashion #wiw #outfitshare #ootd #ootdsocialclub #vintageootdsocialclub #truevintageootd #vintagestyleNOTvintagevalues
