Ugh, I just had to go to The Gap to make an exchange of some gifted items. So hard to see all the new cool sweaters and scarves. My true weakness. Walking past the window of Anne Taylor didn’t help my weak knees.
ABOUT ME
I'm Leigh Meyer. I'm a designer, wife, mother, recycler, dreamer, very quiet activist and concerned humanitarian. This blog is a look into my family's attempt to consume less for one year.
ABOUT THE COMPACT
First principle - don't buy new products of any kind (from stores, web sites, etc.; yes there are exceptions for health and safety items!)
Second principle - borrow, barter or buy used.
