Overdressed


Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion

We can’t wait to read Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. Cline (yes, fashion continues to be on the brain this week!).  We know it’ll upset us and may send us spiraling out of control into another year of no shopping, but we’re crazy like that.  Can you believe, according to Cline, that Americans throw away 12.7 million tons of clothing yearly?  And, donating clothes is no longer the quick guilt-releaser because organizations like Salvation Army are so overwhelmed with donations that they toss out five tons of unsellable clothing per day.  We don't want to believe these stats but, holy smokes, we’re already fired up!
