Do you know that special feeling, babe? When you wear a beautiful summer outfit and that outfit instantly boosts your mood? Wearing a summer dress reminds me of sunny weather, the warm sun that kisses my skin, the smell of sunscreen, the smell of saltwater, the sound of the ocean and the wind that touches the palm trees quite softly. I can already hear the ocean, feel the sun on my body, and the sand under my feet. Do you, too?
I reviewed a couple of sustainable fashion labels and designers that go the extra mile to create unique pieces that make the summer literally endless for you. For sure they are eco-friendly and use recycled materials. And some of them have a gorgeous mission and social engagement that you can contribute to when buying their pieces. I invite you to have a look a these sustainable fashion brands, their mission, and of course their beautiful apparel. Happy dressing and enjoy the summer time, love! 🌴🌴
