In this economy, many of us are appreciating more the value of thrift shops, clothing swaps, and online grab bags such as freecycle. We’re also thinking twice about the idea that something is a “must have.” For many, must have means shelter, food and health insurance. But if you’re in a position to perk up your eco wardrobe with a few layers that will last beyond just this fall season, here are some personal faves. Remember to buy quality pieces, and invest in fabrics and styles that will endure.
