Choosing Ethically and Sustainably Produced Clothing Over Fast Fashion

By: dmvollmercomment

This year I have set two goals for my wardrobe

Wardrobe Goals: Choosing Ethically and Sustainably produced clothing over fast fashion.

One: Pair down my closet for a more minimalistic wardrobe. 

Two: Choose sustainably and ethically produced brands over fast fashion.

These two goals pair well together. A piece may cost more, but with better quality and a classic design, will be a better value in the long term. 

With quality, often comes comfort. Many of my favorite brands use fabrics that feel amazing to the touch. And we all want to feel good and comfortable in our clothes.

Ethical and Sustainable Clothing Brands

Favorite Ethically and Sustainably Produced Fashion Brands

Allbirds – A sustainable brand that started with shoes made from wool. They have expanded their shoe line and have most recently added clothing. I am a huge fan the wool runners, are my favorite shoe to wear day to day. They also make great travel shoes. 

Everlane – A classic women’s brand that focuses on selecting only ethical manufacturing partners worldwide.

ABLE – A classic Women’s brand including clothing, bags, shoes, and jewelry. An ethical brand that focuses on employing and empowering women to end poverty. They strive to make their manufacturing process sustainable in the materials they choose and the processes to make the clothing.

Patagonia – A leader in outdoor apparel, Patagonia has always focused on the environment in producing their clothing and using their resources towards good for the climate.

Alternative Apparel – A clothing line of tees and sweatshirts made from soft fabric.

Threads for Thought – A sustainable brand of comfortable clothing made with incredibly soft fabrics.

Boden – A popular brand of women’s and children’s clothing.

Eileen Fisher – A women’s brand that has been around for a while. Known for her classic mix and match pieces made with natural fabrics. My favorites are the linen pieces, a favorite when traveling in warmer climates.

MATE the Label – Ethically and sustainably produced clothing line made from nontoxic, natural, and organic. Tees, tanks, joggers, and dresses. Their fleece cropped sweatshirt and matching fleece sweatpants are tops on my wish list – reviews are amazing and I love the color choices.

I hope the trend continues are more options become available. It would be great to see some at lower price points (but understandably there are challenges to do this).

Would love to hear your favorites.

New plant pot and I’m in love. As a self describ New plant pot and I’m in love. As a self described #plantmom (or maybe #crazyplantlady 🤣) my collection has been growing but I find it hard to find great pots.

I just got this one from Amazon. Its actually ceramic even though it looks woven. I just posted an Amazon planter roundup on the blog including this one (link in profile)

Cookbook ❤️. I collect them. I read them like Cookbook ❤️. I collect them. I read them like novels. I learn about food, culture, and health. They bring me joy.

I’ve heard many people no longer have cookbooks because they just get recipes on the internet. But I will never give up collecting. I recently purged and am down to about 150. They fill an entire wall of my pantry (my odd 5-sided pantry). 

I recently shared my updated pantry organization project on stories which included a peak at my cookbook wall and so many of you shared your love of cookbooks too. This prompted me to write a post sharing My TOP TEN Favorite Cookbooks on the blog today. Check it out - I’d love to hear if you own any of my favorites and what are your favorites.

Reese’que Business, definitely high on our list Reese’que Business, definitely high on our list as one of our favorites 😋

If you’ve followed us for awhile then you know one of our favorite traditions to going to the @hotelvalleyho for @eatatzuzu monthly Show Stopper Shake creation. We took a break when things got crazy but so excited to back dining at one of our favorites in Scottsdale. This month’s shake is full of Reese’s and Butterfinger goodness. So yummy and $1 of each shake goes to @azhelpinghands which provides essential needs to kids in foster care.

Cheers to brunching on the patio. One of my favori Cheers to brunching on the patio. One of my favorite things to do is enjoy a meal from one of our local restaurants on the patio. We have a long patio season here (coming to an end soon as the Arizona heat kicks in). Even better with a cocktail.

Hello Arizona ☀️🌵 I’ve been living in Ph Hello Arizona ☀️🌵

I’ve been living in Phoenix for 15 years now. We moved from Carlsbad, CA to Phoenix in April of 2006 when B was just a few months old. The desert landscape continues to amaze me. I grew up on the East coast and it’s such a contrast with the all the open space, the mountains, the desert scrub and of course the cacti. Though the saguaros often look like they’re flipping you off 🤣

@butcher_box delivery day is always a good day! 😀

** DEAL ALERT ** When you subscribe to Butcher Box now through April 4th, you will receive 2 lbs of ground beef for FREE in every box for the life of your membership. This is the deal we signed up for last year and love it - perfect for #tacotuesday.

Why we ❤️ Butcher Box:

* the beef is 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef

* delivered right to my door. No trip to the store and I have our meat for the month. Butcher Box has beef, pork, chicken and fish (I love the salmon)

* great for budgeting. My monthly subscription is what I put in our budget for meat each month. 

* arrives already individually wrapped and frozen. No prep work to get it ready for the freezer (Too often I’ve had to toss meat because I never got around to prepping it for the freezer).

To get the 2 pounds FREE ground beef for life deal, use the link in my profile (I’ll also link it in my stories).

#flashbackfriday to one of the Easter eggs we made #flashbackfriday to one of the Easter eggs we made last year. At the time this was all new to us and we were trying to figure how to navigate living through a pandemic. Now 1 year later the vaccine is rolling out. 

Arizona rolled back most restrictions this week but our family feels its too soon and we will continue to wear masks and only go to business that have safe practices in place. Schools are still requiring masks. 

While I am vaccinated it will be a few weeks until my immunity has built up. My son is not vaccinated and because he is 15 he has to wait until they are approved for his age. At this time we don’t have enough information on how effective the vaccine is (especially with the variants) if you’ve been vaccinated and what the possible transmission rate it. A vaccine is never 100% so precautions are always important. So for now, we will mask and distance.
