What is green fashion, you ask? Well, it is more than skirts made from corn and boring, colorless shirts made from plain cotton. If we dig a bit further, we will find out that green fashion takes into account not only the environment but the health of consumers and the process from which these products are made. Personally, I think it is an awesome concept! In my search to find budget-friendly eco-fashion, I came across some great businesses who sell on ebay and beyond. I refer to them as "Leaders of the New School", especially since eco-fashion seems to be the wave of the future! Check out the list below.

Rock.Paper.Vintage offers hard-to-find apparel from New York City's trendiest vintage shops. Although some wouldn't call it a green business, a lot of us do. By selling these great vintage finds on eBay, the company's preventing a lot of pieces of clothing from ending up in a landfill. I love the look of it. if you are into that vintage, eclectic look then this shop may just be for you. Plus, the price is right on point. Check out the eBay bids yourself!
2. Stay Vocal

Alex Eaves, the founder of Stay Vocal, created a successful t-shirt and apparel business, based on reuse and spreading positive messages. I think these tees are too cool! Anyone who loves the idea of slogan t-shirts should really take a look at his designs, not to mention they are eco-friendly! Fifty percent of the t-shirt supply still comes from thrift and second-hand stores, and 50% comes directly from clothing manufacturers that would otherwise be destroying the product, because of misprints and things like that. So check it out! Did I forget to mention that the price was right?
3. H&M

Everyone knows H&M for their fashion-forward, cheap chic items. The H&M Conscious Collection is no different. The collection is white, which is perfect for summer and right on trend. I love it because the price is right and it's made of organic cotton and recycled polyester. Not to mention the feminine, crafted details makes each one of these pieces special!
