Fashion Fashionista: Trash becomes treasure

Regardless of the time of year, we all utter the phrase “I have nothing to wear.” Upon sifting through your closet's familiar garments, you must admit there are many things that you own that you just won't wear again. Most of these clothes and accessories have nothing wrong with them; we just simply get sick of them. However, as the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure, and many people can benefit from what you don't want or need anymore. This not only makes lots of room for all of your new clothes, but also gives you a sense of warmth knowing you're helping someone less fortunate than yourself.

London's Moksha Yoga studio recently launched a Pay it Forward campaign, where they raised over $25,000 beginning in early December. From toys to brighten up a child's Christmas, to gift certificates for food and clothing, this ongoing campaign has been such a huge success, and now is a great time for you to be apart of such a great thing.

Along with monetary goods, the studio is still looking for anything that can be donated to help someone less fortunate stay warm this season, and all year round.

This is the perfect opportunity to clean out your closet and be out with the old and make room for the new. Between providing coats for kids, meals for the less fortunate and supplies for single mothers, the Pay it Forward campaign has worked wonders to help local Londoners, and the idea is that they too will help someone in need. This is the gift that keeps on giving and may come back around to you.

With nothing to lose, this is a great opportunity for you to show your support and help out in any way you can.

Stop crowding your life with garments that you know you'll never ever wear again, and help someone in need, you'll be glad you did. For more information go to www.mokshayogalondon.com or drop your retired clothing off at their studio on Richmond and Mill.
