As we all aim to reduce our carbon footprint the first place we should look is in our wardrobes. The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world and if you look in your wardrobes it will be full of unsustainable fabrics containing plastic particles, toxic dyes and unbeknown to you in many cases unethical labour. I will be writing weekly tips on how you can rework your wardrobe to be more sustainable and reduce the harm to our planet.

• RECYCLE YOUR FAVORITES
Keeping clothes and reworking them is better than throwing them out.
Clothes that are made from sustainable fibres like wool, linen, silk should definitely be reworked into wearable pieces.
If you have clothes that have holes in them look at how you can redesign that garment.
Embellish, sew on that button, change the buttons, and add ribbon to sleeves and trousers
If things are too small add in if they are too big reduce
If you have clothes you love that just don’t seem to feel right anymore then get them altered you may love the fabric but hate the style then make it into something new
You might have kept something that has an emotional connection for you that isn’t being worn if so make it into something you can wear don’t leave it sitting in your wardrobe collecting dust you’ve kept it for a reason so use it.

Before and After!
I love these pictures of Lisa. When we first started work on her wardrobe she seemed to have lost the enjoyment that comes from clothes and the love in herself. When I look at these pictures with her wardrobe, hair and make up complete she is truly glowing she is walking and holding herself with confidence and loving the feeling of feeling good. That’s what this is all about.

Recycle it! Style it!
This is the first in a series of posts i'll be doing to help you recycle unwanted clothing or how to use recycled clothes from charity shops in interesting ways. I see so much wastage in clothing as I work through wardrobes, we all spend far too much on clothing that we don't wear and our landfills can't take much more wastage!
My first project is accessories, there is nothing inspiring on the high street so I set to work to create my own from what I could find in my wardrobe (or rather the hubbys wardrobe).I’ve always loved the colours and patterns of ties so now its my turn to enjoy them. Hope you like the idea!
