My (chick-lit) book club has a “little black dress (LBD)” party coming up this week. While I have my old standbys, one of the girls went looking for something new to wear. Well, not quite new. She picked up a really cute LBD at a consignment store for $30. Re-cycling old clothes through consignment stores, thrift shops, or clothing swaps is an environmentally-friendly (and often cash-friendly) way to refresh your closet – you are saving the resources that would be expended on manufacturing a new dress (or jacket or pants or T-shirt…).
