Speaking of the way-past past, the other day I felt compelled to wear a bracelet-chained-to-ring combo. (Not the Rachel Bolan nosering-chained-to-earring though; that was never my thing.) If I find one secondhand, I'm on it.
sweater/sweatshop
skirt/vintage, tailored
tights/maggie's organics
shoes/cri de coeur hearts of darkness, splendor
Outfit scorecard (animals, people, world): The skirt's secondhand, the tights are organic and carry decent labor practices. The shoes are a vegan brand and have a "sweat-shop free" claim to their China manufacturing. The sweater is sweatshop. I bought it on a day I was underdressed for the weather and it's about 2 years old now, and in heavy rotation. All vegan, of course.

ReplyDeleteFalse dichotomy. All of the above.
Your mum dressed you as a baby rocker? That's pretty cute you know. Maybe she just always knew.
ReplyDeleteGah, I have searched and searched in the thrifts for a sweater like this, though I want mine in grey!

ReplyDeleteI love the studded look on you. I bet you'd think it's funny if you saw photos of my industrial phase.
ReplyDeleteI had a sweater just like that was studded in rhinestones. I loved it so much it disintegrated to threads and studs after many wearings.
