The Conscious Closet: The Revolutionary Guide to Looking Good While Doing Good by Elizabeth L. Cline
lizeylu's review
2.0
It is a pretty good book for beginners who are interested in finding a more environmentally conscious way of living in regards to fashion. The only reason why I give is 2 stars is because I knew a lot of the information given (considering I am already buying second hand clothes and also selling clothes). But I was super happy with the information about washing and sweat shops that I didn’t know already.

There is a lot of good information in this book. Some of it is for people who dress up a lot more than I do. My awareness about sweatshops has increased and I love the tips to keep clothes lasting longer.
