Scrolling Sarah’s account will make you want to run to your nearest charity shop to find your own gems. It’s not only her vintage finds it’s also the way she creatively styles and rewears pieces from her own wardrobe, including her latest hashtag #runwaysgovintage, which sees her recreate catwalk looks from vintage pieces.

Chloe Freed – @Chloegoslowly
Chloe’s account is a reminder that second hand shopping can be so much fun. Not only does she find some pretty amazing pieces (like this Oscar De La Renta skirt she found for 4 dollars!) she styles them in a modern way too. We love her honest approach towards sustainable fashion, often talking about the affordability of ethical fashion and promoting a slow approach towards making changes.

She makes finding minimalist and unique second hand pieces look effortless but lucky for us she also shares her tips to success as well as her reasons for shopping sustainably through her aptly named #thriftingispolitical hashtag.
