In-progress shot of my latest project: turning a $5 thrifted duvet cover from @savers_thrift into a dress inspired by Reformation’s Juliette dress!♻️👗
It’s been so nice to finally get back into my sewing-jam after some traveling and catching up with friends & fam💛
This project brought along, per usual, a lot of sewing techniques that I haven’t tried yet — like using an “invisible” zipper (it’s very much visible on the dress lol but it was a good first try!). Honestly, I was ready to give up on this dress, because I was not happy with minor details like the zipper. I’m really happy I decided to stick through it and I can’t wait to show you guys the final project 🤭💛♻️ stay tuned!

$5 thrifted duvet cover → Reformation-inspired dress!🤩🎀♻️ (swipe to see the dress I DIY’ed😎)
When I spotted this duvet cover in my local @savers_thrift, I immediately imagined that @reformation would use a similar floral patter for their timeless dresses, and I knew I had to give my first upcycled-dress-project a go!😎♻️🙌
Although, after getting home and inspecting the fabric further, I realized the duvet cover was covered in sporadic stains. BUT — as some as you thrifters know, imperfections are almost unavoidable when buying secondhand. So, I took on the challenge of working around the stains! I couldn’t let this fabric go to waste… she was way too cute🤭💛
Many, many days later, and even more mistakes later LOL, I (just barely) finished this dress!!! As are all of my upcycled pieces, she’s a little imperfect — it was my first time making a dress, so it brought about a lot of new sewing techniques that I am quite a ways away from mastering. One of the reasons why I love upcycling is that with every single project, I’m learning and improving 😎 Despite the visible “invisible” zipper, the jagged leg slit, or the uneven ties — this dress is beautifully one-of-a-kind and most importantly: earth-friendly ☺️🌎🙌
So what do you think?! A proper dupe girlies?! 🤔♻️💛🙌
(p.s. I conveniently ~somewhat~ followed a youtube tutorial for this project, titled “DIY Reformation Juliette Dress” by Littletoh)

I’m often thinking about how to answer this question of: how can I warmly invite people my age (most of y’all – HI <3) into this conversation of sustainability in fashion and how can I supportively encourage a teeny change in their perspective in how we value our clothing?
Last semester I had a conversation with a wonderful mentor of mine, and I was trying to figure out what to create for an open-ended class project. I was sharing this overarching question with her, and amidst talking about it I realized that a powerful way to draw in people my age, and specifically my fellow peers at UMass, would be through visuals. Visuals prompted with minimal wording and a little comparing, I think, can lead to change the way we think about the world. In that conversation I remember being like, “I need to like… figure out how much water is in the campus pond or something, and somehow compare that to how much water it takes to make jeans – because everyone knows the campus pond and everyone has a pair of jeans”.
So a few investigations, collaborations, and calculations later, I created this…!
I hope this strikes at least one of you, and I hope it maybe slows your thinking next time you’re in the market for a new pair of denim…💛

The week before today, 10 years ago, Rana Plaza factory workers shared their immense concern for major cracks in the walls of the factory. Their managers and authorities had no choice but to ignore their concerns, given the unbearable pressure from brands housed in the factory like @primark @mango and Inditex (Zara’s owner) to reach a certain quota of clothes in a tight timeframe. A week later, 1,134 factory workers died making clothes.
From that moment on, learning about the horrific events entangled and disguised behind the clothes we ALL wear, I knew I wanted to be a part of the change. Because fashion is seen as a frilly negligible industry, it’s able to exist as one of the most secretly valuable and powerful industries in the world, growing some of the most seriously wealthiest white men on the backs of tens of thousands of minority women.
I know this is a lot. I know this is uncomfortable. I feel the same way… but it’s a much scarier reality for thousands of women who have no choice than to enroll themselves in this twisted fashion industry to support their families.
So what can we do, right now?
This week is the annual #fashionrevolutionweek2023 which means that there’s a lot you can learn about, and a lot of change to support through signage and engagement on social media. Sign @remakeourworld ‘s accord demanding change from major brands like @levis at the LINK IN MY BIO and check out @fash_rev for powerful info and policy change to support as well as content to share on your own platforms or most importantly, to share with your friends and fam to bring more awareness on #whomakesourclothes and how we can fight for a more fair fashion world 💛💪

Who’s brave enough to not buy a brand-spanking-new item in their closet for the rest of the summer?🫢
I travelled to NYC recently (will hopefully soon call that city home!🗽) and didddd I struggleeee to pack. I felt pretty frustrated and majorly bored with my wardrobe. After taking a step back and re-approaching my closet with a clearer head, (pssst using tips from my article “Fashion Counseling: How to Love Your Closet Again” in my bio🤭) I combatted the feeling of needing more and created outfits that felt new.
When we can acknowledge those feelings of “needing more” as learned, installed, and forced feelings by the economy – we can quickly shift our focus towards finding our own personal styles resourcefully through what we have, and away from searching for a new attractive deal on a hot trend. And THEN, true confidence follows, strutting in clothes that feel truly personal and mindful. 💛
As a @remakeourworld Ambassador, I invite you to join me in participating in the #NoNewClothes Challenge until September, to face our planted desires to buy more and to buy new. As I share here and there on my page, I only shop secondhand clothing or sustainably if I have the funds (thrifting is much cheaper :’) ) and so I will continue these habits and further challenge my own internal pulls to add more to my closet (and to thrift every chance I can get . . . because over-consuming in any way is not great).
Who here is interested in the challenge? Who’s a little nervous to commit? Let’s talk about how we can find a balance and work towards building more mindful wardrobes💛

POV you’re studying sust fash in your sust fash fit 🤓 (and you can’t believe how the hell you’re graduating college and becoming a real adult in this world in a few months).
As my last spring break approaches just next week (and I’m traveling back to my favorite city…. 💛), I’ve been feeling more nostalgic of my time here at UMass, and I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve grown to become who I am now.
It’s pretty wild to think that if the entire world hadn’t shut down 3 years ago, and I hadn’t picked up my Mom’s old rickety sewing machine, I would not be graduating with my own concentration in Sustainable Business Practices in Fashion, met some my closest insanely awesome friends, studied abroad in the hub for sustainable fashion (that those really awesome friends inspired me to do), met some remarkable mentors, assisted for two fashion week shows, worked for one of my favorite places to shop secondhand, created a community of such cool sust fash baddies, and used thrifted bed sheets to make a dress or two.
My advice is: try that hard thing. Pick up that hobby. It’s not just a silly frilly hobby…. it could change your flippin life. Because that “new” thing could be the catalyst for the confidence you need to be YOU, and do what YOU want to do – and what the world needs YOU to do.
I’m still trying to figure out where I need to be in these conversations about sustainable fashion . . . but I’m experimenting and I’m figuring it out. And I’m really excited. And it’s really fun. Especially something new that I’ve been working on that I’ll be announcing soon….💛
sweater: thrifted @abercrombie from a thrift store back home. I’ve thrifted a few Abercrombie sweaters and they’re lasting me forever…!
pants: thrifted Uniqlo from @thredup (I literally live in these pants. I’ve worn them probably a hundred times)
shoes: sneaks from @veja I’ve had for a few years. I wear them for cute casual fits and running!
reusable: @hydroflask that I just treated myself with. My roomie has one and I’ve been eyeing hers for months!
laptop: refurbished 😌
backpack: 8+ year-old @adidas backpack I’ve used throughout high school and college

In September, I had the spectacular opportunity to give a hand to my incredible professor from my study abroad experience Lucy Tammam for the 15 year-anniversary of her sustainable couture fashion label’s London Fashion Week Show: Atelier Tammam @houseoftammam 💛 (swipe to see some awesome shots of the event along with an iconic piece…!)
During my visit to London, I joined one of @remakeourworld’s organized community events thanks to @kendal___eline who welcomed me to crash! (swipe again for a photo of the brunch!)💛
At that gathering, I got to meet amazing women making great change in the fashion industry, one being @emilymstochl — the Preloved Podcast host & fashion advocate. From her and this experience I learned about the powerful work that ReMake is doing to drive real change in fashion through advocacy and policy change.
Now that I’m moving into to life post-grad in just one week (!!!!), and am leaning more into the fight for more fair fashion, I’m excited to share that I’m officially a Remake Ambassador! 🎉✨👏
I can’t wait to join Remake and to continue encouraging more people to think differently about the clothes in their closets, and to think more about the women behind what we all wear. 💛🌎

Putting clothes on your precious little body that reflect what you care about and believe in, is so powerful. It truly transforms your confidence when you are strutting around living your life in clothing that means more to you than just being a good deal.
So what does this really mean?
It means saying “yes” to pieces that you add in your wardrobe that are mindful of people and the planet.
For me, it’s choosing secondhand clothing over new, because that clothing already exists – saving immense amounts of energy and resources, as opposed to saying “yes” to a long line of production: cultivating textile fibers (on a cotton farm if the item contains cotton, a forest if it has some viscose or rayon, an oil rig if its polyester) shipping those fibers or materials across several borders to be spun into textiles, then sending those textiles elsewhere to be cut and sewn to create a garment, and then it’s finally finished off with embellishments like buttons or zippers, that were created on their own lengthy journey. It’s a lot, I know.
There are a lot of awesome clothes that have lived that journey, some recently and some ages ago, that are waiting to be loved some more. Choosing secondhand when you can is choosing an act of kindness to the planet 💛

I wore the same dress every day during spring break!
A few weeks ago I found this skims dress secondhand in like-new condition on @ebay (what I’ve found to be the best alternative to amazon, btw, given that it’s a huge marketplace that offers a lot of goods, like amazon, except a lot of those goods are secondhand – and, the best part, is that ebay sellers ship their items to you FAST – like, amazon fast….!)
Anyway I wore this dress every day, either during the day strolling around or for nightly activities – my friends can attest to that as it became a bit of a joke on the trip how I re-wore it constantly.
I’ve noticed I do this a lot with pieces I really love in my closet, which really isn’t a problem, until I feel like I need more clothing…. then I remember I should really shop my closet first… learn how to do that at the article in my bio 😎
“I’ll admit that although I am a proud and avid outfit repeater, and although wearing the same outfit two or three times in one week may make me feel like the main cartoon character, **it also makes me feel like I have only a few outfits that I really love”

Let’s start thinking about them more.
Eventually those thoughts will lead to more mindful actions of buying clothing that is mindful of these women and their well being. and the planet’s.💛
Share your favorite ways to shop more mindfully. Mine would be shopping secondhand for clothes & plant pots🪴

mood after turning this men’s nike t-shirt into a sporty n casual corset!♻️🙌 (swipe to see the before!)
After searching the ENTIRE men’s t-shirt section at @savers_thrift , I found this gem at a low price of $5 for a now totally unique and earth approved corset (and outfit! it’s all secondhand (except the purse) and from Savers🌎♻️🤗
For this corset and the others I’ve been making, I’ve been using the free pattern in @thenavarose ‘s DIY Corset Tutorial on youtube, with a few tweaks here and there (it’s a one-size pattern, but totally flexible to be made to whatever your measurements are😉). We gotta love a free pattern AND a tutorial👏👏
What do you guys think! Would you wear this?!🤔 Or, would you make it?!🤭💛 (p.s. if you wanna start upcycling and make cool stuff like this for yourself and your gfs, checkout the first part of my new series “how to get into upcycling” on my IGTV😉💛🙌)
