Morning! Last week I was featured on AWEAR, a project created to encourage us to think about the stories behind our clothes: who made them, where, and how, and with what. The founder, Kestrel, completed a year-long challenge in 2009 where she committed to only purchasing conscious clothing. AWEAR was created with that idea on a larger scale: people are invited to join in, share their stores, how they’re making conscious choices, and get inspired by others. Style is a creative endeavor. Even more so when you need to be innovative about where you shop. I was happy to be a part of it!
I bought this floral dress from Wasteland in Studio City, CA. I’ve been dreaming up a tropical vacation ever since (sans layered tank). I’ve never been to Hawaii but if I ever go, I will be on the beach in this dress.
But to keep it casual I’ve been thinking of ways to layer for different looks. Check out the full feature with my thoughts on recycled fashion and sustainable shopping here… and be sure to follow the AWEAR Instagram for everyone else in the community and their stories.
