Instagram post 17877667864525817 whenever the weather permits, you’ll find me in a dress because they’re so easy to style and, most importantly, no pants are involved.⁣ ⁣ pictured: me in a dress from two summers ago (wow, does time really pass that quickly??) & what I wish I could wear today for #showoffyourcloset day 5⁣ ⁣ what’s your go-to lazy outfit?
Instagram post 17842878133944929 tfw you score the perfect thrift find 🙌🏽 this cocoon coat from free people is one of the first pieces I thrifted when I moved to Seattle and had to build a cold weather wardrobe.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ it was $25 – a little pricey for a thrift buy, but I have worn it countless times. it’s now my go-to outerwear (paired with a cozy blanket scarf) for Californian falls and winters and I’ll probably wear this until it falls apart. it’s definitely my most worn outerwear item, so I had to show it off for day 4 of #showoffyourcloset!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ what’s your most worn thrifted item?
Instagram post 18126247144060983 🧶 I’ve been knitting since I was 11. making my own clothes helps me reconnect with the labor, intent, and craft that goes into fashion, and I think every fashion lover should try it at least once.⁣ ⁣ for this sweater, I used the Trefann pattern by @good_night_day & yarn from @woolandthegang. it knit up super quickly and I’m so pleased with the results. I just had to show it off for day 3 of the #showoffyourcloset challenge!⁣ ⁣ 📸: @janet_ni
Instagram post 18079822873167122 hopping on the #showoffyourcloset challenge this week (check my stories for details)! I thought it’d be a nice way to appreciate the clothes I already have and reflect on my personal style.⁣ ⁣ today’s item: pants! jeans are still my go-to pants – they’re comfy and pair well with anything. personally I love an oversized or wide leg fit, and of course, high-waisted bc I’m short and I need all the elongating effect I can get 🙃⁣ ⁣ what are your favorite pants and how do you style them?
Instagram post 17856965875732277 is RECYCLED PLASTIC really sustainable?⁣ ⁣ many eco brands are making clothes from recycled plastic water bottles and even fishing nets. this takes plastic out of landfills and reuses them – which is good, right?⁣ ⁣ the real answer isn’t so simple! plastic clothing releases microfibers when we wash them (and even when we just wear them about our daily lives) which go into our oceans and end up inside sea life. microfibers accumulate toxins in the bodies of animals, meaning that not only is marine life in danger, but we are too when we consume seafood.⁣ ⁣ buying recycled plastic is better than new plastic, but there’s still that pesky microfiber problem. so what can we do?⁣ ⁣ 🌿prioritize buying non-plastic clothing when possible⁣ 🌿if you do buy plastic clothing, recycled plastic is better and diverts plastic from landfills! 🌿wash your plastic clothing inside a microfiber-catching bag (I have a @guppyfriend & @girlfriend makes them too)⁣ 🌿install a microfiber filter in your washing machine if you own one (@girlfriend makes them, too!)⁣ ⁣ [wearing @girlfriend sports bra made from recycled water bottles & leggings from recycled fishing nets. I wash them in a @guppyfriend bag]
Instagram post 17874245926552077 still trying to figure out my personal style but “unable to dress appropriately for the cold” is probably part of it⁣ ⁣ (cardigan #gifted from @sezane)
Instagram post 17843874112921605 sooooo, @bitchmedia let me ramble about all my complicated feelings on sustainable fashion as a feminist issue and how capitalism is killing us & the planet on their podcast 🌝⁣ ⁣ the podcast is called “Popaganda” and it’s their latest episode, “GLAMOUR: Climate Anxiety, But Make It Fashion”! the whole episode is a really great take on how we can make sustainable fashion more intersectional and feminist.⁣ ⁣ link in bio or search the name wherever you listen to podcasts!
Instagram post 18120081394065044 when internet friends become irl friends 🥰 felt like I met my soul & style sister in @gabrielasage! so grateful for all the wonderful connections I’ve made here ❤️
Instagram post 17930373190350091 jumpsuits are just onesies you can wear in public 👼⁣ ⁣ #ethicalootd:⁣ jumpsuit: @tradlands (on sale until Friday!) #gifted⁣ cardigan: @tradlands⁣ bag: @minorhistorynyc⁣ clogs: @earthshoesusa
Instagram post 17890475743456250 sure I moved 800 miles to get away from Pacific Northwest winters but I do miss these views just a little⁣ ⁣ #35mm #canonae1 #kodakgold200
Instagram post 17844718417895358 ❤️pretty sure the original owner of this thrifted button-up was a Chinese grandma, but I gave it a second life by styling it as a high-neck, open back top.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ swipe to see the party in the back & how it looks worn as a regular button-up!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ to try this #thriftflip at home:⁣⁣ -put on the shirt so the back is in front⁣⁣ -pop the collar⁣⁣ -button the top button in the back⁣⁣ -button as much or as little of the rest to leave a peek-a-boo slit in the back😘⁣⁣ -tuck it in⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ta-da! let me know if you try this & tag it #buttonupbackwards so I can see it 🤩
Instagram post 18100908688107252 🦙 to make your winter wardrobe purchases more sustainable, consider swapping cashmere for alpaca! alpaca is cashmere’s sustainable sister and can be just as warm and soft. while the goats that cashmere comes from are tough on the land and contribute to desertification, alpacas actually help regenerate the land they graze.⁣ ⁣ look for baby alpaca to get that ultra-soft cashmere feel without the environmental cost 👌🏽
