This girl’s got style!
When Marisa Lynch lost her job last year, she went looking for a project and found it: 365 days. 365 pieces of clothing. $365. She started her blog, New Dress A Day, and began transforming frightening thrift-store finds into envy-worthy fashions for just a dollar a day.
For the entire year Lynch didn’t do any traditional clothes shopping, which means none of her items contributed to the loss of energy or raw materials required to produce new garments. Although her 365-day project is over, Lynch is still giving second life to old muumuus and prom dresses, and this year she’s accepting donations from her readers and making over their worse fashion finds.
You just used the last of the liquid dish soap for the millionth time and you probable don’t have a back up. No worries, but before you throw that container away on your way out the door to buy another one think about REUSING it! Rinse it out thoroughly and peel off the labels as best as you can. Toss it into the tub toy bin in the bathroom. The kids will love playing with it at bath time as a squirt gun! BONUS** You can use it to rinse out the grout lines in the tiles while cleaning as it gets right into the cracks.

Unconsumption: “I think this is very interesting. Using what seems to be wood from wine crates as flooring. Not only is it a green idea (re-use of wood) but it adds such great character to the floor.”
