Hi @agnesconstante, great post. I personally try to buy as much of my clothing as possible second hand from charitable organizations like St. Vincents and Goodwill - would much rather both save money and see the money that I do spend on clothes doing good in the local community.
I appreciate the effort you put into formatting this post so beautifully, but I have to ask why you are using shortened bit.ly links when you are already couching the links in HTML - it will actually make people much less likely to click on your links doing them this way because you can't see where you are headed before clicking on the link. There are scammers going around on Steemit using shortened links to malware infected sites.
Very happy to have found you - following and glad you are posting here on Steemit now! Cheers - Carl
Thanks, @carlgnash! And thanks for the heads up about the shortened links - definitely not trying to scam people! I wrote this up some months ago and didn't bother to change the links, but I've put in the full URLs now so people can see where they're clicking. Great to connect with you & following you now as well!

Thank you for coming back to the blockchain and making yet another amazing post! I am seriously so happy I discovered your post. Keep up the amazing quality content, and you are sure to be noticed by many and develop a real following on here in no time!
I mean, it will still take some time, obviously, but if you keep posting great content like this and you engage the community more by joining the Discord servers and chatting around a bit whenever you can, getting to really know people on the blockchain, I am absolutely certain that you will experience true success on this amazing platform.
I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future! Please come back often :)
I think about the cost of clothing in the context of lifetime cost. If I buy a pair of jeans, how long can I wear those jeans for? I have no problem spending a bit more if it will last a lot longer. That brings the lifetime cost down. In doing that, it also decreases significantly the environmental toll. In most cases it means better craftsmanship also, which usually comes from better paid employees that take pride in their work.
It also means I wear the same clothing a lot longer than most people do, so I'm not keeping pace with fast fashion at all.
