I watched “The True Cost” on Netflix (it’s also on YT for, I think, $3.99) and it was a very big eye opener. I’ve never really been into “fast fashion” but I will admit that I’ve bought my fair share of unnecessary “witchy” stuff that I really didn’t/don’t need. It really made me think about where I put my money and who’s receiving. I’m proud to say that most of the “witchy” stuff I do buy (at least 95% of it) are from small / handmade businesses or local businesses.

Please, if you’re interested in fashion or just being a decent person who cares about people and mother earth, watch this and learn about where you’re clothing is coming from. Also learn about where it ends up when you don’t want it anymore.

It’s important.

“Maybe there would be fewer problems if we were really conscious of where and how things were made. We don’t support slave labor in this country, so we shouldn’t support those conditions in other countries. I can’t wrap my head around why ethical clothing is a speciality and not a base standard. Why is it special to have something you know wasn’t made under terrible conditions by a 12-year-old girl for 20 pence an hour?”
