1 . Does your closet need a refresher? Tired of visiting multi-national big box “fast-fashion” stores where they pump out ready-to-wear items? Why not go to some second-hand shops? It’s not only better for the environment but with styles constantly being recycled you’re certain to find something in. Here are several spots to start.
