If you look close enough, you will see this is the same outfit as yesterday only with a cozy sweatshirt on top.
.
My sweatshirt is another piece from @christydawn and their #farmtocloset initiative. The art is from an independent designer and, “reflects the knowing intuition of Mother Earth with a simple message of truth and empowerment - it’s all in your hands.”
.
Clothing that is sustainable, empowering, comfortable, and stylish? Yes, please.
.
Linked to options on both my top and pants below, including my exact sweatshirt in black and white.
.
Many of the items I linked to are on great sale (sustainably made linen pants for under $100 from brands that usually charge a lot more!).
.
My shoes are still on sale at Maje at around 50% off. I cannot link to those, but these sandals are fabulous and I get endless compliments whenever I wear them!
.

TGIF! Why is it that short weeks always feel the longest? And as cute athleisure wear and sweatsuits continue to trend into fall and beyond, I am looking forward to wearing more sets with fun prints and colors like this one.
.
This one is almost sold out, but I included a few set and separate options below. Quite a few are on amazing sale!
.
What do you have planned this weekend?

If you saw my stories last night, I showed you some of the prettiest packaging, that even included a sprig of dried lavender 💜🌾
.
But the packaging is one small reason @christydawn is one of my favorite, sustainable brands of all time.
.
As an ambassador and long-time customer, I wanted to let you know about their latest AMAZING initiative, #farmtocloset
.
Two years ago, Christy Dawn leased 24 acres of depleted land in Erode, India. Working directly with farmers and artisans, they’ve been replenishing the soil through ancient practices of regeneration and traditional wisdom. They have been pouring their heart and soul into the Farm-to-Closet initiative — a radical experiment in reciprocal relationships, and a conscious effort to deepen our intimacy with soil, farmer, and ultimately ourselves. Christy Dawn isn’t just buying sustainable cotton, they are healing the earth.
.
This dress is just the first piece of mine from their #farmtomarket collection because I want it all! This floaty dress is perfect for casual summer outings and more (and it passes The Converse Test!). Christy Dawn’s pieces make all your boho, cottage core dreams come true!
.
I hope you will check out Christy Dawn’s Farm-to-Closet initiative, knowing that all of their pieces are sustainably made. I also just learned about their loungewear and I will share once my pieces arrive!

Don’t mind me. I am just over here living out my Sleeping Beauty, Carrie Bradshaw in Paris fantasies in this dreamy patchwork dress.
.
It is the perfect summer wedding guest dress, or any other special occasion you need to get dressed up for.
.
The patchwork trend will be going strong into fall and beyond from both a fashion and sustainable, zero-waste design perspective.
.
I linked to dresses with a similar vibe, including many vintage options.

If you have been following us for the past month or so, you may remember The Converse Test. This is how I determine whether to buy a certain dress or not. I expect dresses to look good all dressed up, but if they look good with my Chuck Taylor’s, I know it will get plenty of wear. We stan a versatile dress 😊
.
Linking to a few new Chuck’s I am thinking of adding to my collection. I love the Roswell themed pair even if they tell the world I am a bit of a sci-fi geek. #thetruthisoutthere

Are you a fan of the romper? I have a close friend that calls them adult onesies, but I think rompers are a hero piece during the hot summer months. They are great for casual outings to date nights.
.
I am wearing an Isabel Marant romper from a few years ago, but I am eyeing a couple to expand my options. While I wasn’t able to find any that were part of the #nsale @nordstrom has the best rompers. Most of the ones I linked to are around $50 with only one that is $100. That one is a safari detailed cutie by Madewell in a sustainable fabric so #worthit

Matching two-piece sets in easy fabrics are a summer outfit go-to. They work for everything from lounging at home to meeting friends for brunch. I would wear the pom-pom set I linked to on a date night or an evening with the girls.
.
The best part is that many of the sets are part of the #nsale and most, if not all, come in under $100. What are you shopping for at the Nordstrom’s sale?

Crop chef, crop drawer, crop dead gorgeous, ZZ Crop ( I live in Texas so I had to throw in that last one!). If you saw my previous post, you know that I am talking about my love of crop tops and puns. I am partly blaming @shop.ltk and the crop it like it’s hot email, but my blog name is fashionating, so there’s that!
.
No summer wardrobe would be complete without crop tops, both basic and statement. They can be worn with shorts, skirts, and jeans, but I love pairing a fitted crop top with wide leg trousers.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. Shark Week!
.
Fun fact about me - I am an avid scuba diver. I also LOVE sharks. Exciting things happen when these two passions combine! And since pics or it didn’t happen, the big pic you see is me scuba diving with a shark off of Caye Caulker in Belize. He seemed much bigger in person 😁
.
I still need to dive with Great Whites, but my ultimate bucket list trip is to the Galápagos Islands to dive with Whale Sharks.
.
But as a lover of sharks and fashion, finding ways to combine these two passions in a non-cheesy way….. Now that was truly scary.
.
Thankfully designers of all sizes are realizing there is more to this magnificent creature than a certain song about a family of sharks that shall not be named.
.
I love the dress with the shark bite hem and those shark tooth earrings. The candle is already on its way to my house. Check out what else I linked to by downloading the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to shop this pic via screenshot.

Easy summer dressing includes crop tops and fun printed bottoms. #partypants

I wore these checkerboard pants to go axe throwing and I lost count of the number of modern day Viking looking gentlemen who went out of their way to tell me how much they loved them.
.
Could there be a better compliment than that?
.
.
Linked to a few fun options below. And speaking of fun….. have you tried axe throwing yet? I went with besties and we brought wine and a cheese platter. Highly recommend!
.
Plus, if it’s good enough for modern Vikings a f Jason Momoa, it is good enough for me!

One of my favorite style hacks is the tee shirt dress, especially when they have special details like this one. The muted stripes, the wrap detail at the waist, make this dress seem fancier than it is.

Loving this kicked up sweatsuit for summer and beyond. The athleisure boho hippie vibes of the color and print really speaks to my soul - and the laid back vibe that is the theme of Summer 2021 for the fam and I. Road trips with no real itinerary or even destination in mind is just what we need! What are your summer plans?

I have decided that a summer uniform of sorts will be easy, breezy pieces in fun retro floral prints and this outfit is a perfect example.
.
While I was lucky enough to find these two pieces separately and on a discount (thank you @therealreal and @springfrost), I have rounded up a few other items I am loving, many of which are vintage treasures on @etsy
.
So many of you have DM’d to share more of my vintage, thrift, consignment finds, so I hope you enjoy these picks.

As you may know, I love taking a modern trend, finding its original vintage inspiration, and styling up both in my own unique way. From boho to street style to 90s vibes, patchwork is so versatile. And fun!

I also love patchwork and the fact that designers, from ASOS to Alice & Olivia, are still embracing this trend. Many times these pieces are made out of the material scraps on their own cutting room floor, and zero waste is an important step in cleaning up the fashion industry.

For vintage lovers, or for those who want to incorporate more vintage in their closets, this is an easy style to find on the secondary market.

I have linked to some very cool pieces from both vintage sellers on Etsy to a few modern counterparts.

I come back stronger than a 90s trend.

What can I say? I love Taylor Swift and all 1990’s fashion.

This flannel, I mean, shacket has gotten a lot of wear these past few months and will continue until spring. I paired in here with a vintage Ralph Lauren sweater and Dr. Martin inspired boots.

Neutral wide leg pants are still statement makers, even when part of a monochromatic look.

In this outfit, the ruffles, smocking, and sleeves come together to make one special outfit whether for work or play - including date night.

I have linked to similar tops and pants below. There is a black faux leather peplum top that might be on its way to me soon so I can pair it with black wide leg trousers and denim.

If you read the blog this week, you know it is all about my love for all wide leg pants, trousers and denim.

This extra wide pair is so much fun to wear. I balance out the look with a body con top. In this case it is a Vintage Missoni tank I thrifted for $10!

These were a SHEIN special, which is my favorite place to purchase over-the-top items for my closet. I linked to many fun options from a variety of stores at different prices and for different bodies.
