Something I’ve come to notice about sustainable clothing brands is they tend to be more inclusive in their representation. Check out the site where I bought this dress, for instance. The models are all different sizes, heights, colors, and ages. And I don’t mean the usual 5 white models and 1 token “ethnic” model. AND they have many models who appear to be…wait for it…well over 25 years old. I know. Crazy, right? It’s a damn rainbow over at Universal Standard, and I’m here for it. I’m also here for this ridiculously soft cotton dress that makes me feel like a Greek goddess.

One of the unexpected perks of working from home is that I’ve come up with comfier and more fun outfits that I might not have worn otherwise. Some days I just stick to loungewear, and other days I wear “real” clothes but with less concern for whether my outfit is professional enough or flattering enough. Sometimes I make up “characters” to go with my OOTD, like old Hollywood actress in a hippie commune, or French It Girl riding out a scandal in the Midwest.

What character is this? Glad you asked. This is Ronald McDonald’s sister, Ronda McDonda, who abandoned the family business to open her own chain of farm to table vegetarian restaurants. She didn’t make as much money, but she did wear a lot of loose-fitting blouses and maxi skirts. And that’s the true measure of success.
