Heres Why Paris Hilton Is Wearing Thrift Clothing
It just happened.
Paris Hilton is dressed head to toe in thrift clothing in her latest Instagram post, and this bold move definitely has the internet buzzing.
In a shocking revelation, Paris states that she's proud to be adorned in clothing from a thrift shop called @thredUP! No, she's not losing her fashion style, but according to this post, she is making a conscious effort to better the world by buying thrift for the sake of the environment.
Paris Hilton has agreed to take part in the #FashionMindfulness Challenge, which sees her promising to change 7 small habits in 7 days in order to reduce fashion waste.
Paris Hilton In Thrift
The words 'Paris Hilton' and 'Thrift' just don't go hand-in-hand. If anything, the heiress to the Hilton fortune has been known to over-glam herself and is recognized by herflair for high fashion and luxury brands.
In fact, she has used her status of privilege to become the brand ambassador, and the face for brands that are associated with luxury, opulence, and of course, very high price tags.
It seems that Paris is trying to connect with her audience in a more relatable way, and by accepting this challenge, it means she is making a few sacrifices along the way.
Within her caption she states; "Day 1 is WEAR THRIFT, because buying secondhand instead of new reduces the carbon footprint of an outfit by 82%!"
She goes on to state; "If 1M people take it we'll eliminate 40 million pounds of carbon emissions. It makes me feel so empowered to know that I can create a positive impact with my fashion choices. If I can do it, you can too! Click the link in my bio and share your thrifted outfit to start the challenge. #thredUPpartner#LovesIt"
