Leather Blazer

When: April 18, 2021 // Weather: 60s // Real life: used book shopping and dinner on a patio

I loved this outfit so much it made me want to rid my closet of everything but striped tees, jeans, and blazers. We all know I won’t do that, but it’s fun to dream.

I ordered this faux leather blazer on Poshmark and I took a bit of risk because who really knows if fast fashion faux leather is going to look like leather, or like plastic that melted when you accidentally left it in front of the heater. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality, and I already have a million ideas on how to style this blazer in the fall.

One of the best things I did with my extra “quarantine time” was download the Stylebook app and upload images of my entire closet. Now, when I have an idea of how I want to style something, I can create a “look” and save it for later so I don’t forget. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to Netflix and chill, but by “chill” I mean “make outfit collages on Stylebook.”

It’s been brought to my attention that a lot of “sustainable” fashion brands don’t offer plus sizes. To be perfectly honest I don’t always think about this issue because I’m roughly the height and weight of the average pre-pubescent 14-year-old boy. But just because a problem doesn’t affect me personally doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. As consumers, we need to keep the pressure on our favorite brands to offer more sizes and not just cater to skinny bitches like me – tag them on social media and give them some constructive criticism!

But in the meantime, I did recently learn about a size-inclusive and sustainable/ethical brand, Wray NYC. Fair warning: if you’re like me, you will drool on your computer over the beautiful fabrics. Granted they’re not cheap, but you might be surprised what you can afford when you stop buying tons of fast fashion every month (I’m looking in the mirror as I say this). I ordered this dress in a recent sale and it’s gorgeous! Wray NYC generally carries every style in sizes XXS to 6XL, so none of that nonsense where only certain styles come in “plus size.”

This isn’t a sponsored post, but Wray if you’re listening, I would gladly take more dresses off your hands. 🙂
