Recycled Frocks


ONE fashionista's garbage, is another fashionista's treasure. I came across an interesting article about a young hipster by the name of Apple who has managed to build her a lot wardrobe on clothing she has literally found on the street.


Apple 31, has been dumpster diving for duds since her college days in Brooklyn, NY Pittsburg, and now, post law school in Chicago. Apple describes the streets of New York as a "mecca of discarded clothing"... she even documents her fashion finds on her blog, Found Clothing.
As you darlings may have guessed, Apple has found some great pieces on the streets of New York such as a BCBC Max Azaria dress, but hasn't had the same luck on the streets of Chicago.

Have you ever found a piece of clothing on the street that you've actually worn? And if you haven't would you ever actually wear something found on the street?
