Green Love
Happy Earth Day! As an Earth scientist and avid recycler, I'm glad we have a day dedicated to our great planet. :) In honor of today, I'm so excited to share with you my recent purchase from Amour Vert: this striped tee featuring a side tie! How adorable is it?! I'm obsessed. If you've been following for at least a week, I'm sure you recognize my other Amour Vert purchase: this dark floral skirt I bought from Piperlime last year. I didn't really explore the brand much after I bought the skirt, but I decided to check out their website earlier this year and I fell in love with their mission. They use eco-friendly (and luxurious) fabrics, are dedicated to sustainable practices, and make their garments right here in the US! (And, yes, their name is French... It means 'Green Love' of course!) I really wish I could fill my closet with ethically-made clothing, but until I can afford that, I will gladly add a new piece every now and then. I feel like I'm helping even if it is just a little bit. Their prices are very reasonable, and they're now offering free shipping. Returns are free and SUPER easy, plus you can get 20% off your first order with code FIRSTLOVE. (I promise this post isn't sponsored, though I'd love to work with them in the future!)
Because it is Earth day and I'm sharing my new eco-friendly wardrobe addition, I decided to shoot these photos in a beautiful garden surrounded by lots of greenery and budding blooms. Not pictured: The many buzzing flies and bees enjoying the fresh flowers, too. (I definitely thought I would get stung standing next to this gorgeous tree!) The slightly cropped tee worked perfectly with my high-rise skinny jeans, and I pulled out my new sandals since the weather was amazing. It actually felt more like summer these past couple of days! Hope you have a great weekend! xo
