Have you heard of Quince? I had only a brief awareness of the brand until recently. My friend told me about a pair of really pretty gold hoops she bought at very affordable price… I immediately went home and spent some time browsing their site. And then I emailed them asking to try a few pieces! I really loved their philosophy that everyone deserves to have luxury items in their closets AND their products are manufactured responsibly and sustainably. They believe, and I agree (!), that quality doesn’t have to mean expensive. You CAN build your dream wardrobe and not break the bank and support people doing better for the planet.*
I’m wearing the Washable Silk Skirt in copper brown here and I’m wearing my regular size. I was really impressed by the luxe feel and look of the skirt, especially since it’s under $60! This 100% Organic Cotton Boyfriend Sweater is pretty perfect, too. I have a very similar one by another sustainable brand and it’s just about twice the cost and it doesn’t feel or look any different than this one… They also offer clothes for men and littles!
These SuperSoft Fleece Wide Leg Pants are under $40 and probably one of the most comfortable pairs of pants I own. I love them with this 100% Organic Cotton Cropped Cardigan and sneakers but I can also see them with a cropped or oversized sweater and clogs or mules for a cozier fall look!
Did I also mention that they have extremely affordable cashmere? As in this Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater is $50… I just have so many good things to say about this brand and I’m excited to add a few more classic, versatile, and long-lasting pieces to my wardrobe. I like to think of building my wardrobe as somewhat of a craft, a learned and practiced skill, making sure to only add pieces I love and will wear again and again. Every piece shown here fits that bill and then some!
*Disclaimer: While I try my best to support slow fashion and sustainable brands, I am still consuming. My goal is to help you find more sustainable brands to support, IF you want to shop. Obviously, the most sustainable option is to buy secondhand or to reuse what you already own.
