According to a survey by the credit card company Barclaycard, nearly one in 10 UK shoppers (9%) admit to buying clothing only to take a photo on social media.
Lives on Social Media
Environmentalists have also raised the issue of the landfill waste created by returns. Also, there are celebrities and royals who never where the same outfit twice. The waste of the outfits is an issue. Creating a beautiful facade on the surface is living through social media-perfect life postings.
