Clothing > TipsSeptember 11, 2006

I'm very much a believer in recycling. Most of my clothing comes from thrift shops in the first place, then I regularly pass them on to the Diabetes clothing crew for further recycling.

However, at the moment I'm at the stage that even thrift shop buying is out for me. So for now I'm making do with what I have.

Recently I was sorting through clothing intending to put it aside for the clothing crew to pick up and decided that okay, maybe some of these things weren't in the first flush of youth, but surely I could get one more season out of them. Khaki pants that are a bit on the baggy side for me, a shirt that is 5 years old, but still in good condition and so on.

So my thoughts are give generously when you can, but think as well whether you can make do a little longer with what you have before purchasing new stuff (even from the thrift shops!)
