Well-dressed recycler

Here's Jan trying out the fox fur coat she bought in the Lions flea market.  It was hanging there all day, lots of people tried it on and several selfies were taken as they did so, but no-one wanted it.  At the end of the day it was going to the tip and Jan stepped in and paid her 100kr (about £8) for it. 
These days it's not a garment you could wear in a big city as the anti-fur movement has even reached Sweden, but in our town that won't be a problem and on a walk this chilly day it's perfect.
Personally I'm also against the breeding of animals purely for the fur trade but these foxes were dead long ago and it seems more respectful of their deaths to keep the garment going for another decade or so.
Perhaps not entirely logical, but that's my ethics! 
It was -15°C today and when the temperature really drops the vegan clothing alternatives don't really work. Even in these days of hi-tech garments nothing keeps you warm like inner-layer wool. My chosen outer layer is my down jacket. (Another flea market buy though at £15 it was expensive.) 
We liked the photographic idea of the fur coat and the recycling/rubbish bins together. In reality we were just starting our walk but since our bins are about 150 metre from our house things are usually dropped there as we go by.
