Have you ever bought a piece of clothing you’ve simply never worn? Go on, be honest.
Maybe it was that t-shirt you bought on your lunch break – without trying – that turned out to be a smidge too tight across the chest but couldn’t be returned because it was on sale.
Or what about that dress you grabbed in a rush for a party? You know, the one you ended up wearing your jeans to.
Or perhaps it was that aspirational pastel top you picked up, kidding yourself you were going to branch out from your daily uniform of black turtlenecks.

Most of us are guilty of falling into the fast fashion trap at one time or another.

We can do better than this.
eBay is great for shopping second hand clothes especially if you aren't a fan of rummaging through op shops. Type in what you are looking for and then filter your search to only include "pre-loved" clothes (I also limit it to items available in Australia only). Using this method I have purchased skirts, necklaces, witchery leather pants and Merrill shoes all in excellent condition. Worst case scenario and it doesn't fit I just re-sell it (and this has only happened to be once). If you know what size you are in certain brands search only for those brands eg "Katies pants 10" or "ziera boots 39".
