it has been a real challenge and stretch of my imagination this week. i have pushed myself to go beyond "just throwing  something on" and have instead been working at matching and pairing my clothes so i feel that there is variety and reason to the pieces that i have. it has also opened my eyes to what my closet is lacking in and what i should be on the look out for.

after april and signing up as a noonday ambassador my eyes have been opened to fair trade and shopping ethically and i have actually been sad when i open my closet and i'm like, "oh, i don't know who made this or what conditions it was when this was made..." my goal from now on is to only shop local or ethical. i am so excited to fill my closet with love - pieces that i love and pieces that have been made with love. it's an exciting adventure.

where do you shop? do you know who made your clothes?
