We can demand change, and work slowly to build the future we all deserve and dream of. ⁠ ⁠ The goal isn't perfection. The goal is to leave the world better than we found it.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sustainablefashion #sustainability #blogger #fashionblogger #fashion #style #ethicalfashion #textimage #quote #ethical #inspiration #sustainable #blog

It's almost Thanksgiving, for us Americans. But no matter where you live, this is still a time to be thankful. ⁠ ⁠ Whether or not you are carving a turkey with a couple of family members, what matters is what is in your heart.⁠ ⁠ This year has been rough. It has been full of hardship, loss, and grief. Anger. Division. ⁠ ⁠ Things aren't going to go back to the way they used to be. But you know what? Let's celebrate that.⁠ ⁠ Things aren't going to go back to the way they used to be. So this means we can fight to improve our planet and our understanding of each other. ⁠ ⁠ No one is perfect. But let's take this time to increase our empathy, our compassion, and our thankfulness.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #thankful #blessed #thanksgiving #sustainablefashion #sustainablefashionblogger #blogger #ethicalfashion #ethicalfashionblogger #style

You have a dream. Maybe it's to create gorgeous fashion pieces. Or redesign your wardrobe by thrifting. Or starting a podcast.⁠ ⁠ It's ok to be scared, or uncertain. It's ok to take baby steps into the unknown. ⁠ ⁠ But the important part is to begin.⁠ ⁠ We can make this world a better place. Let's begin now.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #sustainablefashion #ethicalfashion #inspiration #blogger #fashionblogger #fashion #style #dreams #chaseyourdreams

I started my first blog when I was fourteen. I blogged about a myriad of things- what I ate for breakfast, poetry, and fashion.⁠ ⁠ I then started a style blog in my early 20's called BXOX Beauty. It gained a little bit of traction, but I wasn't in a well enough mental space to keep it running.⁠ ⁠ Now, I have discovered my love for alternative/romantic silhouettes, and for sustainability and ethical practices in fashion.⁠ ⁠ Everyone wears clothes. Let's work together to make sure we wear them responsibly. ⁠ ⁠ Looking back, I was laying the foundation for what I am starting today. What foundations have you laid in the past to form who you are today?⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #blogger #bloggersofinstagram #bloggerlife #ethicalfashion #fashion #fashionblogger #styleblogger #style #lookback

Got some fabric shipped to me from a designer who was reorganizing his studio. So excited to start making some upcycled magic! 😍😍 . . . #upcycle #upcycledclothing #upcycled #upcycledfashion #fabric #fabrics #fabricscraps #sustainablefashion #sustainableclothing #ethicalfashion #ethical #ethicalclothes #fashion

As a consumer, you probably can’t change the industry single handedly. However, every time you choose to refrain from buying fast fashion, you are helping to encourage better practices.

I can’t believe one year ago I started this Instagram, and 9 months I conducted interviews for a podcast. It’s safe to say this year has been crazy for all of us. I’m happy to say I’m finally in a place where I can start this podcast. First episode will be coming soon. Stay tuned for more details! . . . #fashion #sustainable #sustainability #podcast #sustainablefashion

One look I was hoping to develop for a swimwear fashion show that didn’t end up happening for me. Feeling sick for months isn’t great, but it’s teaching me to prioritize my time and to forgive myself for not being able to achieve all I had wanted. I had so many dreams for this business, and I still do. Even if I need to be on a temporary hiatus for a while, I’ll be back. My goal isn’t a unique one, and I am inspired by all the people who are working to make the fashion industry more sustainable and to spread awareness to the heartbreak fast fashion can cause. I want to start my podcast soon. I’ll be able to figure out dates when I’m experiencing more healthy days than ill days. And I can’t wait. #fashion #fashionsketch #clothes #sustainability
