What is being Fashion Frugal? The dictionary definition of frugal is sparing or economical with regard to money or food. And can also mean thrifty, sparing, and not wasteful. In my case, I love fashion and style, but I also don’t have thousands to spend on it. And I love thrifting, because it has a lower cost, and because we aren’t polluting the planet by making new clothes. Textile waste is a huge problem and by thrifting, we are saving the planet a little by little. But it doesn’t mean that we can’t buy clothes at a normal store, we are just reducing the amount we buy new. I consider it a lifestyle to be Fashion Frugal. One that has us spending less on clothes and saving the planet more.
