That step into fall is often a slow and steady one. You have some unexpectedly super hot days peppered amongst some brisk cold ones. It’s a real gamble this time of year, I tell ya! Styling wise, I try to keep things on the cooler side and lightly layered. Much like this look, I re-wore a summer dress, but paired it with fall booties and an oversized slouchy sweater. Sort of preps me for whatever mother nature throws our way!
This time of year is also about getting ready for fall/winter in our home. As I’m sure you saw in yesterday’s VLOG, I cleaned out my closet to discover I have an embarrassing amount of clothing to donate and sell. I’ve often felt quite wasteful about the amount of items in my closet and how blatantly irresponsible it is to this earth to be cycling through so many pieces each year. It weighs on my conscious about where clothes are made and what impact it has on the environment, which was highlighted even more when Value Village/Savers invited Alex and I to their art installation last month. Ever since, I’ve been trying to consciously balance the amount of new, fast fashions I’m purchasing and trying to reuse and thrift when possible. Old habits die hard though, especially in the excitement of shopping for fall. I am trying though, and it’s these small gestures can hopefully equal a huge impact on the environment! Do you ever think about this too?!
