5 affordable eco-friendly stores (online) !!!

So i'm writing another article. 

This one's about affordable eco-friendly stores, because I know people who buy fast fashion aren't doing it to harm the planet on purpose; they're doing it because 1. it's extremely pricey to buy any kind of clothing nowadays and 2.  because they're unaware of how unethical fast fashion is. 

So here are 5 affordable eco-friendly stores! I'll make more posts like these in the future as I continue to research.

1. Quince - Quince's mission purpose is to make sustainable fashion the standard. Known for their affordable silks and cashmere (ooh's and ahh's), they sell clothes for women, men, children, & babies. I definitely wanna try and review.

2. Yes Friends - Yes Friends offers clothing for both men & women, and gives off a relaxed, Gen-Z vibe through their website & marketing. Their mission is "Yes Friends exists to make ethical clothing affordable and transform the fashion industry. Small goals." 

3. ThredUp - An online thrift store that follows trends while allowing you to shop second-hand? Sign me up. I've bought from ThredUp before during COVID, and the process for getting your items was seamless. Consider me enthralled.

4. Pact - Pact is known best for their cotton clothing, which is not only sustainable but good for you! Skin is our largest organ and wearing literal plastic as clothing has been linked to cancer. They are currently marketed towards women, but hopefully by making it a trend to jump on the sustainability train they'll expand their demographics. 

5. Everlane - Best for business & denim, Everlane is working towards net-zero emissions within their factories. Their range in clothing sizes is admirable but I definitely think they could expand, especially with their smaller sizes, but for now it is already integral enough to have sustainability as your main focus. Everlove.

stay sustainable!

the aesthetic of aesthetics.

If you've been on the internet for a bit, you've definitely heard the adjective-noun combo of "_____ aesthetic". As a 17 year old girl who spent her entire middle school experience in front of a computer due to COVID, this is familiar to me; 'preppy aesthetic', 'cottagecore aesthetic', 'VSCO girl aesthetic'. Or , say, you're Gen-Z. You've probably said in your life, maybe jokingly, 'so aesthetic'. If you're NOT chronically online you most likely have no idea what I'm talking about unless you've been around 'hip' (millenial way of saying chronically online) people.   According to Dictionary.com , the term aesthetic " concerns what is beautiful". According to Merriam-Webster , the term aesthetic  means "a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of art, beauty & taste". If you're a pessimistic adult who is currently seeing the decline in media literacy, perhaps you are think...

distinctness is instinctive.

Do you like pineapple on pizza or is it the bane of your existence? Okay, now, say this is known about you that you have this opinion on pizza toppings.  Now, with this information, say it's your first day at a new school and you introduced yourself the the class saying "I love/hate pineapple on pizza''. some of your peers say "same!" or "ew!". When it's time for lunch and you recognize two people, one said "same!' and the other said "ew!", who would you rather sit by?  If you said "the person who said 'same!''', well guess what. Literally since The Dawn Of Man have humans been sticking by those who look like them/have the same beliefs, ideas, religions, etc. As we know, there's power in groups, so they end up villainizing those different from the perceived status quo, whether it's small remarks/beliefs held or massive atrocities. I just gave you a super boiled down version of like why every war ha...

white jeans.

 This is a classic for living in a coastal town. Definitely more of a business/business causal/modest vibe. Colors that go best with white jeans:    navy , black ,   olive green,   butter yellow,  sage, and dusty pink do not wear socks unless you have to & if you do wear ankle socks. Jewelry: wear pearls if you have them. gold is cute because it contrasts. silver is eh. turquoise is unique and adorable. fun necklaces look good as contrast but like it all depends on the neckline. -if you're going out to party:  black or white going-out top & neutral heels. (honestly, depends on where you are. if you're in a fashion capital i wouldn't personally.) -if you're going out to dinner: navy/light blue blouse, navy camisole (really sophisticates a look), tunics, breton (french B&W boatneck) top & loafers, neutral kitten heels, nice (not beat up) tennis shoes, black flats. -business: neutral blazer, navy/light blue blouse, neutral/ appropriate t...
