My Year in Shopping Less & 2020 Goals
2019 marks my third year of trying to shop more ethically and sustainably. I look back over the year at the numbers — and the lessons I learned this year.
Year: 2019
Everlane Choose What You Pay Sale – My Reviews
It’s that time of the year for Everlane’s big winter sale. Here are links to all the items in the sale that I’ve written reviews on.
Vetta Review: Two Piece Midi Dress
I made an impulse purchase (oops) of this dress, so I might as well review it. I was intrigued by the many ways you can wear it. The skirt even detaches completely and can be worn on its own.
November 2019 Shopping Diary
I’m writing this post later in the month than I usually do because I wanted to see if my Black Friday fashion buys made the cut. But, I’m still waiting for some of them to arrive. So, never mind. Onward.
Fitting Room Review: 6 Sweaters from Amour Vert, Cuyana, & Everlane
Today I’m doing a fitting room review of a few pullover sweaters that I’ve tried on recently.
