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?

^^This is me “casually” taking a giant step so I can show off that this is in fact a jumpsuit, not a maxi dress. Why is it that we feel the need to let people know exactly what kind of garment we’re wearing? “I love your dress!” “Thanks – it’s actually a skirt and top.” Or: “I love your hat!” “Thanks – it’s actually an authentic Nigerian gele head scarf.

I don’t know, but for some reason I find it much more exciting that this is a jumpsuit, so dammit, you’re all gonna know about it. Please compliment me accordingly.
