I’m all into frou-frou at times, but I also love a comfy t-shirt and a good pair of jean leggings! There is just something cozy about a little bit of cotton.
Ayla agrees that casual comfy is uber chic. Today, she opted for extra comfy faux-jean distressed leggings by C Crush Original (compliments of her aunt) and a super comfy-cute shirt dress by JOAHLOVE. She decided to accessorize with some boyish sunglasses (that daddy picked out for her) and an over-the-top head band (that mommy picked out for her!)
No outfit is complete without the kicks! Ayla’s fashion sense demanded versatile sparkles. See Kai Run was up to the challenge with their silver sparkle tennis shoes.
While fashion is fun…responsible fashion needs to be the wave of the present and the future. Recently, I’ve been inspired to shop just a little more responsibly, keeping fair-trade in mind. Grabbing a cheap pair of jeans made in a country plagued by child-labor and sex-trafficking should cause my conscience to revolt. Instead, my focus has been on the thrifty price tag not the impact that my “amazing deal” is having on the lives of countless women and children. Budgets are important, but if the dollar is my only bottom line instead of the quality of human lives…then my priorities need a good old kick in the you know what! Shouldn’t we all question the horrific price that others are paying for our thrifty fashion?
No, not all of the items featured today are fair-trade conscious, but one company in particular is, JOAHLOVE. This stylish brand makes all of its clothes in “the beautiful USA”. While this doesn’t allow for an inexpensive sales tag; it also doesn’t allow for inhumanity to be perpetuated. Just something to think about.
Oops! Did I forget to mention that JOAH LOVE is currently running a back to school promotion. Enter this code B2School14 to get 50% off of your online purchase!
