This is one of my favorite outfits in recent memory and I love how I look in these photos, so it pisses me off that I happened to be wearing a dress from Everlane. In case you didn’t see my post on Instagram the other day, the company has been accused by multiple former employees of prejudicial behavior toward Black and other POC workers. In this economy? C’mon, Everlane. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I won’t tell you what to do, but I for one will not be buying from them for the foreseeable future, and I won’t be encouraging others to support them either. (If I had more time, I would go back and update the links on old posts, but I have a real job.) That said, the most #sustainablefashion thing you can do is wear what you already have, so you’ll still see me sporting my various pieces from He Who Must Not Be Named, and I’ll do my best to link you to similar options from brands that haven’t pissed me off.

I wore this out to my very first at-a-restaurant meal in months! (On a patio…I am still not willing to sit in an enclosed space with strangers just for the sake of not doing my own dishes.) It was pretty risky to wear a white dress when I wasn’t entirely sure if I remembered how to conduct myself in public, but I managed to use a napkin and silverware properly. Still got it.

For me, the hardest part about venturing back into the world — other than the general looming fear of contributing to the demise of humanity — is the shoes. I mean you know I love my shoes. But I haven’t really been wearing shoes most of the time at home, and now I’m realizing how uncomfortable they all are. Like those adorable wedges you see here (Stella McCartney secondhand, thankyouverymuch) – my feet felt like they doubled in size over the course of 2 hours. Quarantine has really softened me, guys.
