Sali Hughes #62 it’s good manners, payment pending of course

[foxwarren]

Yes it is

 

[Nonah]

Ohhhh no it isn’t At least not entirely. It does sound better than “scraps of polyester crap” though.
Gosh though at least it’s not leather like 30% of their other skirts.

 

[youncer]

It's a bit better than using virgin polyester but it's still regarded by many as a green-washing tactic by brands. And of course influencers lap up the PR from the brands unquestioningly and regurgitate. If only some had some kind of journalistic background and could look a bit futher past the guff. Still produces micro fibres, too.

Big wow I’ve got Primark jamas made of recycled plastic. It’s greenwashing.

 

[Fish & Chips]

Plastic can only be recycled a few times (depending on what it is made into) and always ends up in landfill at some point. So the ‘my skirt is made from plastic bottles’ and is therefore good for the planet is bollocks, unless you wear the garment very regularly for a long amount of time to get the use from it.

Which then at least means it’s being useful

At work we once looked at investing in a company that was making a huge deal of tbe fact that their clothing was made with Tencel, a sustainable material. But their products were made in China with a very opaque supply chain. Therefore they had no idea who was making their clothes. Its absolute greenwashing. Not saying that that this is the case here but I'm always very suspicious of any claims.

She buys so many new clothes I don't know why she doesn't buy 2nd hand more. It's all just fast fashion for her.
How hard could it be to source a fairly dull long black skirt then get it altered by a local tailor to fit her teeny weeny lil frame
If I was her, and was buying and receiving for free so much 'stuff' for my job, I'd definitely look to areas where I could buy more ethically and responsibly to offset the waste.

 

[yessenia_d]

Seriously, she could be a poster girl for the kind of *fewer better things* mindset influencer, but instead she's chasing those instagram hits with a kind of more, MORE, MORE!!! dying days of Rome decadence.

Our little pixie could probably get an upturned thistle and some black mascara and fashion a environmentally sound pUnKy black skirt, so wee is she

Quick crash course in lighting might be necessary if you're going to claim your hair's not damaged, but go off I guess.

 

[Villanelly]

She’d probably claim the damaged tufts were new hair growth.

 

[HotesTilaire]

She looks so cross.

I’m greatly impressed with your editing skills!!! How did you manage to get those stills from that short reel? It was over in the blink of an eye.

 

[Loobloo]

She's has the privilege of being a standard dress size/height, so second hand/vintage shops will be bursting with stuff she can easily access. For example, it's really hard to find plus sized items in those kind of shops.

Nobody tell her she's anything other than perfectly unique though, aye.

I just stole the one that was already on here

 

[Missypissy]

She can get to duck with her greenwashing low spend classic purchase nonsense. She is living proof that its bullshit. She's trapped in a weird cycle of constantly buying unremarkable clothes and pretending that they are "the one". If someone was in and out of Primark as often as she is in and out of Cos or Whistles she'd be disdainful of their choices.

 

[melfish]

How does one tell the difference? Asking for myself.

 

[Panstickpinkie]

Her belt always looks so tight and uncomfortable.

Standard? How dare you, she is completely unique, there's no one else like her in the land

 

[Not Your Kind of Person]

Her belt always looks so tight and uncomfortable.

I just imagine her getting dressed and breathing in as much as she can whilst she desperately forces it into the smallest hole.

 

[lucylucyapplejuicy]

She looks so cross.

It’s the expression that she makes as she thinks of us then looms in at the camera
