New Sustainable Fashion Series on Substack

Hello, friends! I’m finally back to writing about fashion, but I’m moving to Substack. I’ve enjoyed my time at WordPress, but Substack gives me a format that is easy to navigate and requires less technical maintenance in a language I don’t speak. By the end of 2023, I will no longer be publishing anything to WordPress, so please click on over and subscribe. Below is a snippet and a link!

Becoming an Eco-Fashionista, Part 1

Documentaries and book ideas to transform how we show up in the world

On a sunny summer Sunday, my husband and I met up with new friends, Sam and Michele, at Wayward Vegan, a local diner here in Seattle. As we sat over pancakes, omelets, and French toast, we got to talking about sustainable fashion. They were curious if I had any recommendations for documentaries, books, or articles that might support budding eco-fashionistas on their journey.

I didn’t know it at the time, but their questions would reignite my curiosity about the topic I thought I had left behind — fashion. We’re not talking about fast fashion, though. We’re talking about sustainable fashion, a movement that strives to transform the industry’s negative impact on people and the planet.

My brain was abuzz after that visit. I jotted down a few resources that came to mind and then a few more. Before long, I had branches of ideas and different entry points for anyone seeking more about sustainable fashion, and—BOOM—a whole new series for Petite Over 40 was born! (Thanks, Michele and Sam!)

I hope you’ll join me over the next few weeks as I share the philosophy that informs my choices, and of course, there will be a variety of resources for learning about sustainable fashion. The goal is to help us shift our relationship with the fashion industry while transforming how we show up in the world.
