How much of you have ever been tired of wearing the same flowered dress, the same button-front denim skirt, the same black chocker ( yes, like the thousands of girls in their Tumblr Profiles), the same cropped flare jeans as anyone else and so on? I decided to start this post with a quote that really impressed me, and the funny part is that I found it on a book that I didn\u00b4t buy. In my country Guayaquil, Ecuador, there is one cultural group named \u201cCasa Morada\u201d that made almost every month \u201cthe book garage\u201d (where people can buy and exchange their own books). That\u00b4s where I got my precious acquisition, \u00a0the ethical fashion book \u201cOver-Dressed\u201d by Elizabeth L. Cline, and I discovered there an entire different\u00a0worldview about the responsability of buying in a correct way.\u00a0 Most of us are enchanted by the same look-alike clothes that we find on Zara, Bershka and other fast fashion companies, not only because they are on \u201ctrend\u201d but also because of their lower prices. \u00a0But if you let me sincere to you, I was really tired and exhausted of see clones of me everywhere!<\/p>\n

The fact is, \u00a0I was totally blinded by the magazines and all the other bloggers that propose to wear the exactly dress or skirt, so I\u00a0 said to myself: Am I condemned to be a robot-follower of the trends or I can construct my own style? The media tell us to be UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL WOMEN, but\u00a0 the truth is that in a world that promotes to\u00a0consume and the massification of all, yes- including the fashion sector, we are far away from this wish. So I realized that the only solution and cure for me at least\u00a0 were this two things:<\/p>\n

First I go to all this fast fashion stores and made a shock therapy ( I walk through the showcase but I don\u00b4t buy anything), so when I get away I feel this special satisfaction because I don\u00b4t succumb to their atraction powers.<\/p>\n

Second \u00a0I go to some swapping events and\u00a0 thrift shops here in my city, and started to make unique purchases ( believe me \u00a0or not I have \u00a0found pretty good stuff and above all I can be hundred porcent sure that not anyone will have my oufit)<\/p>\n

\u00a0At least I can be sure of one accesory that its price is perfectly accurate with the reality! Since I was a little girl I knew the entire process behind our iconic Ecuadorian hat and the time that our weavers spent on its manufacture , but that\u2019s a topic for another article!<\/p>\n

For this ocassion I wore a Montecristi Ecua-Andino Hat, \u00a0denim vintage long skirt, a black blouse a \u00a0and a flat blue navy sandals (made by a Ecuadorian shoemaker),<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
