Welcome to my new blog!
My name is Molly, and I’m fashion-obsessed. A friend recently observed that I “light up” when I talk about it, so I guess my obsession is pretty obvious. From high fashion and haute couture to chic daily wear and practical wardrobes; I love it all and I’ll talk about it any chance I can get!
In recent years, I’ve started to consider the toll that “fast fashion” has taken on the environment and have come to feel more responsible for my own personal footprint on our planet. I want to learn more about ethical, sustainable practices in the garment industry and I invite you to come along on my journey! Please feel free to comment on posts (click “Leave A Comment” under my logo, above) and share your thoughts, ask questions, and tell me what you want to learn about sustainable fashion; I would love to hear from you all!
What this blog is:
- A forum to explore sustainable, ethical fashion. It’s about being a little more informed and aware of the apparel we wear and live in every day. A place where I encourage you to learn, discover new things, perhaps reconsider some ideas, and maybe make some changes in your life—maybe not.
- A look at Fast Fashion and its ethical counterpart, the Slow Fashion movement. Exploring manufacturing practices in the garment industry, the footprint on our eco-system, the ethical treatment of garment industry workers and safety standards in factories.
What this blog is NOT:
- A place for the shaming of habits, shopping or otherwise. Organic, sustainable products can be significantly more expensive than their counterparts, and a “green” lifestyle is frequently perceived as only being for the wealthy. Know that there are no expectations for your spending here; we all have our own unique situations and needs and must choose what is right for ourselves.
- And it’s NOT about politics or a particular political view. It’s honest opinions from someone who worked in fashion retail for 12 years. I aim to present truthful, supported information, in a safe space open for discussion.
I’m looking forward to learning with you!
Stylishly Yours,
Molly
