Before you ask, no, I did not put a letter to Santa in the mailbox. I’m not that level of cute. I’m only “decorate a few cookies” cute or “hate-watch bad Christmas movies” cute. No matter what level of cute you’re feeling this holiday season, just know that you can be as jolly or as scroogy as you want and it’s OK. I’ve now witnessed how hard this time of year is for people who’ve suffered a loss, and it really sucks. I can’t fix it, but I can remind you to not feel bad for not feeling festive all the damn time.

Switching gears completely, this jacket is an epic consignment store find! It’s a genuine suede jacket from Lafayette 148, perfect condition, that would retail for over $1k, but I got it for just over $150. I mean really.

In my quest for a more sustainable closet, I ordered several pieces from ADAY, including this top. (All it took was a couple Google searches for “sustainable fashion” and ADAY started popping up 5x a day as a sponsored post on my Instagram.)

The pros: You can wear it multiple ways thanks to strategically placed snaps (it can also be a wrap). It’s wrinkle resistant so good for traveling. The fabric is light and breathable. And, obvi, the company has very cool values and practices. Yay Earth!

The cons: It’s not exactly flattering, but don’t mind the slouchy look sometimes. A little pricey. It has to be washed on cold and can’t go in the dryer (but I guess that helps the Earth too).

The unknowns: Time will tell whether this fancy technical fabric stands up well to wearing and washing. If it does, that will help balance out the cost.

Have you guys ordered from ADAY before? What are your favorite sustainable fashion brands?
