Her range is too 'frumpy' for me - and I'm 73 ! ok if you want the head to toe 'smart' look, but even her biker / denim jackets all smacks a bit of a 60 year old plus wearing it with pressed jeans !!! and a lot of her 'pieces' can be bought in Sainsbury's for a fraction.
Anyway, I've decided not to buy anymore new clothes. I have enough to see me out for all occasions, and after seeing the pictures of clothes mountains in the desert of W. Chile, I was shocked at the waste that fashion creates. Yes, we can give loads to charity shops, but what about the stuff they cannot sell ? off it goes to waste clothing dealers who ship it off to God knows where to rot into the landscape. Its shameful and I'm as guilty as the next person, but not anymore.
Every year, some 59,000 tons of used and unsold clothing end up in Chile from all over the world. In the Atacama Desert, entire landscapes are now covered by new and old garments.
