Try shopping secondhand this month

Second Hand September is a movement created to encourage fashion lovers to buy secondhand items only, limiting their environmental footprint and educating them on the negative effects of fast fashion on the planet. Oxfam, a global non-profit, has put together a pledge for all those looking to learn more and be involved.

If you’re wanting to participate, while also supporting local businesses, there are many affordable and trendy options in Atlanta. My favorites are below. Check websites for location and hours.

• Buffalo Exchange

• Day Sleeper Vintage

• Local Goodwill

• Local Plato’s Closet

• Psycho Sisters

• Rag-O-Rama

• The Clothing Warehouse

• The Lucky Exchange
