For those who came in late - my plan was as much as possible to buy only from "ethical fashion" providers this year.
Thoughts
* This is REALLY hard. Prior to this year I was mostly a low price shopper. I'd make an exception for footwear, but Ezibuy was about the most expensive I'd otherwise get. I'd fill out the fashionable end of my wardrobe with australian shops like valley girl and temt. Spending a lot more on every single item is hard to come to terms with. Bear in mind that I am already a minimal wardrobe type.
* I don't like shopping that much anyway, and having to shop online is getting pretty dreary. I don't enjoy op-shopping either.
* A group of "high street" shops that I thought were okay have proved to be not, thus cutting down on B & M almost entirely.
* I get my fashion ideas here, pretty much, and then try to find them on the ethical fashion pages. Hardly any jeans out there, none in wine, which is what I'd like. Maybe the key is just to look at those sites and pick only from them. But I don't want to give up YLF!
* there are heaps of interesting dresses and tops. Much less in terms of basic knitwear and tops, and some is just too expensive for me. And this sort of item is hard to find in op shops too.
In terms of what I have actually bought, I have ordered this top
