When: July 12 // Weather: 70s and breezy // Real life: Day 3 in South Haven, MI
Last outfit to share from my trip to Michigan! Temps in the 70s were a very welcome change, especially because I wanted an excuse to wear my new cardigan from the Spanish brand babaa that is all the rage with sustainable fashion Instagrammers.
When it comes to “sustainable” and “ethical” clothing brands, there is definitely an accessibility problem. Take babaa sweaters — Not only are they pretty pricey; they only come in one size. But dammit if this is not a beautiful cardigan.
I’m not here to try and convince everyone to drop $200+ on a pile of yarn. I’m just here to share my real-life outfits, and this is one of them. We all have different budgets and different priorities on how we spend our money. Please remember that there are other ways to be a more sustainable/ethical/conscious consumer besides buying from brands that cater to the affluent (like shopping consignment stores, which is how I got this jumpsuit and bag). That said, if you’ve been considering parting with your heard-earned cash in exchange for a fancy sweater, I can definitely recommend this one!
