My Ethical & Size Inclusive Fashion Picks October 2020

October 18, 2020 By Annette

I’ve been working from home since March. Over the past seven months, the way I dress has changed dramatically. In the past, my work uniform consisted of a dress or trousers, a cami or blouse, and a colourful blazer. These days I dress for comfort, and although it felt good for a while to not…

My New Favourite Wardrobe Staple: The Lisa2 Leggings by Miik + Discount Code

June 9, 2020 By Annette

I’ve spoken before on the blog about how difficult it is to find ethical and sustainable clothing in plus sizes. There are some great ethical brands out there, but most are simply not accessible to anyone above a size 14. So you can imagine my excitement when I was contacted by Canadian company Miik to…

Some Ideas for Practicing Gratitude and Self Care During Isolation

April 9, 2020 By Annette

I was feeling pretty stressed earlier this week about everything that’s going on. I called my sister on Facetime to talk about how I was feeling, and she mentioned that she was taking time each day to write down a few things that she was feeling grateful for. This simple act of self-compassion inspired me…

Dear fast fashion...it's not me, it's you. The d Dear fast fashion...it's not me, it's you. 

The disruption to normal routines caused by Covid-19 got me thinking a lot about what my priorities are in lots of areas of my life. One of those is my clothing choices. I know the deep problems, both environmental and social, when it comes to fast fashion. Ive been moving further and further away from it in 2020, and I'm ready to  break up with it. Thanks @capsule_creator for your insightful comments about getting inspired to create content that doesnt revolve around a never-ending cycle of new clothes. I am shifting my focus to beautiful, ethically-made pieces that will stand the test of time. Wearing my ride-or-die @miikinc leggings and my gorgeous cropped sweater by @capsule_creator.

@capsule_creator wrote in her Instagram post today @capsule_creator wrote in her Instagram post today why she doesn't usually do sales, and it really resonated with me. Fast fashion teaches us to get the most items for the least amount of money. #slowfashion is about carefully choosing beautiful pieces for your wardrobe that will last you for years, that make you happy when you wear them, and for which you pay a fair price to the creator for their work. It's win-win-win.
