Go Team! Recently, I’ve become a part of the Fashion:Remix Team on Etsy. We’re small, but we are slowly growing in mass. Our goal: to promote quality up-cycled, refashioned clothing made from eco-friendly, recycled materials.

So, if you are interested in joining, check out our profile on Etsy at...
