They say it’s not always about the clothes, but about the accessories, because, often enough, a whole outfit can put you on the A-list of Fashion Queens just by adding the right purse, clutch and shoes, even when you’re wearing a simple, common dress.

So if you care about your accessories but also want to be a green activist, here are some useful tips to go green when you’re shopping for new accessories:

- Love your accessories : take care of what you got and only invest in what you really need, because, let’s face it, you don’t actually need 200 pairs of shoes like Sex and the City.

- Recycle/ give away everything that you don’t wear anymore : if you do are a fashion victim and love to shop, shop, shop, at least you can give away to poor people or recylce the goods you don’t use anymore. Be generous with people and nature! This way you too will be amazed of how many things you still keep in your closet without actually wearing them.

- Become a regular at garage sales, vintage boutiques, online stores and friends’ closets – it’s always smarter and cheaper to buy this way, plus you will for sure find some limited edition items, vintage accessories or one-of-a-kind pieces!
