About a year ago, I announced that I would be shifting the way I talk about my wardrobe from Ethical to Slow. My slow fashion wardrobe, has given me more opportunities to get creative and be incredibly mindful in what I choose to include. Being more selective gives me power and my intentionality increases my [...]

Wear it Wednesday | Summer Dresses
I remember as a little girl, absolutely loving wearing dresses and also being equally frustrated by them. As an adult, I have a new appreciation for dresses especially in the summer. They are fun, feminine, and can keep me significantly cooler than shorts. Here are a few of my favorite summer dresses. Yellow & White [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Styling a Shirtdress for Summer
When it gets hot outside, I gravitate towards cotton & linen made pieces and lots of comfy & versatile dresses. Including this new shirtdress from Liz Alig. Her pieces are handwoven, giving them a unique feel and making them the perfect breathable styles to reach for on hot days. I was gifted this shirtdress from [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Yellow
If you’ve been here for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed my favorite color. Ever since I was little I have loved yellow, there was a brief time that I preferred pink over yellow, but looking back now that was because I gave into peer pressure. Yellow hasn’t always been a cool color. So [...]
Wear it Wednesday | My Favorite Shoes for Spring in Colorado
Spring in Colorado usually means 20-30’s in the morning and around the 60’s in the afternoon. This extreme variation in temperature can sometimes feel hard to get dressed around, but I have found if I am going from home into the office or into a building then I can enjoy some of my less wintery [...]

Then last year something happened, I slowed [...]

Wear it Wednesday | 2021 Dressember Wrap-Up
Dressember 2021, celebrates my 8th year participating in Dressember. What began, for me at least as a way to connect with people in 2014 after a move to a new state where I knew no one has become a winter tradition. My goal this year was to raise $800, I’m grateful to my friends and [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Wearing the same dress for 10 days
Lindsay from Maison Soleil, kindly gifted me this item to share with my audience. Repeating outfits is perfectly normal, this mind shift only really began to change in the last 40 years. To challenge this culture we currently find ourselves in I enjoy wearing the same item from my closet for several days. Even though [...]
Wear it Wednesday | Why you should do a Closet Inventory
As a fashion blogger, I have a really good idea of what is in my closet. I wear a good portion of my clothing and can easily recognize any gaps in my wardrobe. But how can non-fashiony people have more awareness of their clothes and their wardrobes without becoming a fashion-focused person? Easy do an [...]
