Refashion is the new organic

If you are like me, you sometimes have second thoughts as you buy that fashionable new dress or handbag:

Am I really being good to the planet here? Sure, organic cotton and bamboo are an improvement over their pesticide laden counterparts, but there is a  greener and cleaner  way to go:

Refashion - the art of creating fun new fashion from shall we say, “previously employed” items.

Well-loved sweaters morph into scrumptious mitten sets, cast-off chip bags get transformed into fabulous totes, vintage slips are revamped into funky cocktail dresses.  Sounds cool right?

With each purchase, you not only help to support the work of independent artists right here in the U.S., you help to rescue otherwise useful items from tragic and untimely demise in our country’s landfills. And who wouldn’t want to look stylish while feeling  oh so clever and virtuous?

Check it out at www.TheGreenVixen.com. You'll love it!
