Since moving to the west coast and being more submersed in “green” culture, Alec and I have made more of an effort to learn about and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle… One of the new-to-me topics I am most fascinated about, and something I am continuously working on, is learning about environmentally friendly fashion and building a sustainable wardrobe.

I realize that its not in everyone’s budget (nor my own) to have a wardrobe made from completely eco-friendly, recycled, or fair trade materials… What makes a wardrobe sustainable, however, isn’t only defined by what the materials are made of. Its also whether your pieces will hold up with time, and if you’ll actually wear them.
