I'd like to change this though, and get back into really thinking about what I purchase, and where from.

The tough thing, which you basically point out, is that we <b>don't</b> know where stuff comes from. Worse, recycling old stuff doesn't always mean we'll have fought against it because it could have been produced under the same circumstances, however, it can help not investing in someone else's hardships. We live in a supply and demand world. We aren't going to avoid the grittiness of brands, and I believe instead of trying to halt productions altogether, we should help force manufacturers to change the way things are made.

Siehe da nicht nur die "billig" Läden lassen dort zu unfairen Bedingungen produzieren, sondern auch z.B. Hugo Boss, Armani, Ralph Lauren. Ich würde auch gerne mehr Geld für fair gehandelte (eco) Kleidung ausgeben, aber die Sachen sind doch wahnsinning teuer. Also ich persönlich habe nichts gegen Primark und würde dort auch einkaufen, wenn wir einen Shop hier hätten. Das Kleid finde ich übrigens bezaubernd :Dmiasmodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768045744681926503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451702735912565060.post-29369674539636605092014-06-06T15:22:50.199+08:002014-06-06T15:22:50.199+08:00Hallo Carina, mir geht es so, dass ich auch bei P...Hallo Carina, mir geht es so, dass ich auch bei Primark kaufe. Ein shirt für 60 € ist für mich utopisch. Trotzdem gehe ich regelmäßig zum second hand shoppen, da man dort besondere Teile findet, die nicht unbedingt teuet sind. Meine Kleider verkaufe ich bei kleiderkreisel weiter, so haben andere auch etwas davon und man tut der umwelt etwas gutes.Alanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914198266255345199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451702735912565060.post-3587544798268690182014-06-06T08:33:05.407+08:002014-06-06T08:33:05.407+08:00I am really conscious about where my clothes come ...I am really conscious about where my clothes come from, but it's a tricky issue. I buy second hand and vintage most of the time, but sometimes you need something new (underwear for example, or jeans that fit!) and trying to decide which high street shop is the "most ethical" is such a minefield. I also don't have the money to buy from organic / fairtrade brands. At the end of the day, I think if we do our best to make ethical purchasing decisions that's the most important thing! I do think boycoting is important and powerful, but its also not going to change anything unless you tell companies why you're boycotting them! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2451702735912565060.post-86648042891987806492014-06-06T06:53:00.110+08:002014-06-06T06:53:00.110+08:00I love swapping clothes, I have done it twice late...I love swapping clothes, I have done it twice lately and love getting "new to me stuff" I actually can't wait to style the new blouses, hat and summer shirts I got through swapping. I will not buy designer fakes anywhere. For example, I have two authentic Michael Kors purses that I love and one I am sure was made in the streets somewhere that my mom gave me (I don't use it). I thrift and swap- just my thing.

Most of the time when I'm commenting on a fashion blog post I don't stop to think about things like that. When companies use prison labour or sweatshops or are taking advantage of desperate starving people it's usually not spoken about. There was a film made that exposed some of the companies using prison labour in my country but most of the theatres didn't play it. <br /> I have noticed there are bloggers I follow who love vintage, have Etsy shops or go thrifting. <br /> I guess I should pay more attention to where and how all the blouses and full briefs I wear and review on my blog are made. I always feel better when I believe they're made under good conditions close to home and disappointed to find that companies that used to make full briefs here at home are having them made wherever the labour is cheapest. Having them made cheaply doesn't necessarily mean they're priced cheaply though.<br /> Moving on to your outfit and beauty: <br /> <br /> Your Primark dress looks beautiful. I love how you styled it. Your hair and makeup look very pretty. I love your hair-colour, black eyeliner and lipstick. <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.full-brief-panties.blogspot.com/</a> Panty Bunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898050632807934793noreply@blogger.com
