Maje denim jacket and shorts
H&M scarf

Wildly western. And sustainably so. This denim look by Maje Paris was made with a new stone-wash technique that reduces all resources: water by up to 95%, chemicals by up to 50% and energy by up to 79%. I support this movement by brands that I love. These all natural rock formations dig it, too.

To be honest, it’s hard to draw a fine line for myself when it comes to non-sustainable vs. sustainable fashion, as someone who both lives and breathes fashion, but who is also someone who lives and breathes the beauty of the earth and believes in the protection of it. I see with open eyes the detriments that the fashion industry causes on our earth, and a lot of times it leaves me shameful. As a fashion blogger, am I in fact a part of the problem? I am very much aware of this controversy, but I do try my best to be as conscious of and sustainable in my shopping decisions, and show my followers how I do so. There is still so much that needs to be done to get all brands on the same page when it comes to sustainable fashion that makes it more accessible and affordable to the masses. I see the day that it will happen, but it may take a while to get there. But with brands that are moving in that direction, like Maje, slowly but surely we will be there. Until we do actually get there, I will always stress the importance of buying quality items that you 100% see living in your closet for a lifetime. Longevity. This word is so important today. Never see fashion as disposable. Be aware of where a piece is made and what it is made of. Mix vintage and second hand into the wardrobe you already have. Swap clothing with your friends so you don’t always have to shop and buy new. Rewear, rewear and rewear. If you do purchase something new, challenge yourself to find a hundred different ways to style it with what you already have in your closet. Trust me, it is a rewarding feeling. With self-quarantine in action all around the world today, wearing a brand new outfit everyday makes no sense at all. If there is at least one thing the fashion industry can take from this experience we are having right now, it is this change of mindset that less is more. If we can make a domino effect of this mindset, we will definitely be heading in the right direction.
