Happy new year, dear readers. 2018 marked my second year of blogging, chronicling the objects I love, the things I wanted to that didn’t work out, and also my attempts to be a more conscious consumer.

It’s the end of December, which means that Everlane is running its biggest Choose What You Pay Sale of the year.
2018 marked my second year into trying to shop much less. I’ve kept a log of almost every piece of clothing I’ve bought over the past 8 years. So, how did I do?
Ever since I reviewed Everlane’s denim last year, I was hoping they’d come out with something stretchier. Well, Everlane read my mind (and probably many other people’s) and released their Authentic Stretch jeans this September.
I started off selling clothes on eBay, but in 2012 I joined Poshmark. Last year, after 5 years on the app, I became a Posh Ambassador (what they used to call a Suggested User). A friend asked me for tips, so I began writing this guide for her, but figured it would be useful for others.
My cousin was curious about Everlane’s Clean Silk line, so I went to the San Francisco store to try them on and report back. What’s Clean Silk? It’s what Everlane calls their line of silk products made by a producer in China who uses safer dyes in an energy efficient LEED certified factory.
While I did indulge in a little Black Friday shopping, I only bought two things. Instead, I spent most of the holiday weekend doing the opposite: trying to get rid of stuff.
I’m starting my ethical holiday sale list early this year because one particular maker I love has a sale right now. But I’ll keep updating this post as I learn about more Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
Everlane’s Japanese GoWeave wrap dressees have that minimalist thing going on and seem like they’d be easy to wear casually with or dressed up with accessories for an event. So I went to try them on, but my fellow petites, I don’t have good news here.
I was going review the Everlane Relaxed Cotton Tank over the summer, but … time got away from me. Still, it can be a useful piece for layering in the fall, so here’s a short and sweet review.
