I’m joining up with the Ethical Fashion Bloggers for a locally made challenge. There are many ways to interpret the “shop local” mantra. Here’s what I did.
Sweater: Papaya
Skirt: Una
Boots: Naughty Monkey via Labels
Necklace: Forever 21
Bracelets: Gifted (thanks Jon!)
Clutch: Crystalyn Kae
As you can see, I didn’t wear head to toe local, but I incorporated a few key pieces into my outfit. The skirt is a soft bamboo knit made by a local designer: Una. I wore this skirt with gray in another post. This time, I paired it with oatmeal and pea green.
The green boots are from Labels, a consignment shop in Seattle. I like shopping second-hand and using things others don’t want. So even though these aren’t locally made boots, I supported a local shop and reused an item.
Finally, the clutch is a glazed fabric creation by Crystalyn Kae. I love her designs and actually own four of her purses. Like I said, shop local!
Do you have any favorite local shops?
