Sustainable fashion faves #5

Diamond ring HERE – hoops HERE

Okay, so I know we’re only in the middle of August but am I the only one who’s a bit excited about autumn? It’s my absolut favourite season when it comes to dressing (besides spring). I love all the brown shades we are surrounded by this time of year but I also love that you can start practising the art of layering again, because in that way you can create so many more outfits. I always reach a point during summer where I feel like I can’t squeeze out any more creativity regarding my summer clothes and with the changing weather we’ve got going on right now I’ve reached exactly that point. And then I’ll just be a pants-kinda-girl till the end of time, and therefore I’m more easily bored with my dresses and skirts during summer.

If you’ve watched my last “steal her style” video, you’ll know that I absolutely love leopard print and for several winters I’ve been considering adding a leopard coat to my collection. Since this is a trend we see returning every single year and because leopard in general is pretty basic, you can be sure you’ll be able to find a coat like this in a secondhand version – and they do have quite a few cool ones both on Vestiaire, The Real Real and Asos Marketplace. Just look how cool it is with a pair of jeans and boots?! Besides that I’m pretty fond of cotton knitwear this time of year – you know, when it’s not hot enough to wear wool but still kinda chilly outside. I think cotton jumpers are easy to maintain, easy to wash and you wont get any heatstrokes when you wear them. Oh, and by the way Everlane recently launched international shipping, like in forever and not just for a short period of time like usually! They are moving to another warehouse at the moment which means there can be some extra wait on some of their items. But like I’ve said before, it’s always worth the wait for me when we’re speaking Everlane, haha. It’s my fave!

Okay, jeg ved godt vi kun er i midt-august, men er jeg den eneste der glæder mig en lille smule til efterår? Det er min absolutte favorit sæson når det kommer til påklædning (foruden forår). Jeg elsker de smukke brune nuancer vi ser på denne tid af året men også det faktum, at man kan begynde at lege med lag-på-lag igen, og på den måde skabe mange flere forskellige outfits med de ting man har i garderoben. Jeg når altid et punkt på sommeren, hvor jeg føler jeg ikke rigtig kan vride mere kreativitet ud af min garderobe og med det ustadige vejr vi har lige nu, så er jeg lidt nået til netop dét punkt. Og så vil jeg bare for evigt være en bukse-pige, så jeg bliver altså bare lidt hurtigere træt af mine kjoler og nederdele.

Hvis I har set min sidste video i min “stil-stjæler” serie, så ved I at jeg elsker leopard print og at jeg flere vintre i træk har overvejet at tilføje netop en leopard frakke til min garderobe. Da det er noget der kommer igen hvert eneste år og fordi leopard er ret basic i min optik, så kan man med stor sandsynlighed finde netop sådan en frakke brugt – og de har da også et hav af cool secondhand leo-frakker både hos Vestiaire, The Real Real og Asos Marketplace. Se lige hvor sej den er med jeans og støvler altså?! Udover det så er jeg ret glad for strik i bomuld på denne tid af året – I ved, når det begynder at blive køligt, men det er samtidig lidt overdrevet at hive sine uldtrøjer frem. Jeg synes bomuldsstrik er let at holde i længden, det er nemt at vaske og så får man ingen hedeture heller så det er en perfekt overgangsstrik. Åh ja, og bare lige et lille by the way så har Everlane netop fået international shipping, altså sådan for altid og ikke bare for en periode som de ellers plejer! Det er noget med de er ved at skifte varelager lige nu, så der kan være lidt ekstra ventetid på nogle af deres produkter. Men som jeg har sagt før, så er ventetiden altid dét værd, når vi snakker Everlane, haha. Yndlings!

    Hej Signe, du har åbnet mine øjne for everlane. Dog må jeg sige at jeg har svært ved at overskue hvilke str. Jeg skal vælge. Hvilke str. Har du valgt i dine loafers og hvordan er tøjstørrelserne i det hele taget?
    Venligst Christina

      Hej Christina 🙂 Jeg bruger som udgangspunkt deres measurement charts, for de er meget præcise. Deres loafers står der at de anbefaler man går en halv størrelse op hvilket jeg også har gjort. De er ret stive og skal gås til, så det er godt jeg gik en halv størrelse op! Hvis du ligger mellem to størrelser kommer det an på hvilket fit du foretrækker. Når det kommer til overdele og jakker vælger jeg altid den større størrelse og underdele kommer det lidt an på om det er et produkt med stræk i eller ej. Jeg bruger 27 i deres jeans og er normalt en 36/38. Så mål dig selv og følg deres charts, det tror jeg er den bedste løsning! 🙂 Knus

    I would warn against Veja shoes! I love their concept and environmental stance but both my husband and friend have bought shoes from them and had quality issues (my friend had the sole separate on hers after just a couple of wears). So unfortunate because they’re one of the few semi-affordable conscious sneaker brands out there.

    Hi
    Thank you for your blog – it is very inspiring.
    So I wanted to try some kitten Heels from Everlane in the most gorgeous automnal colour ( taupe)
    Unfortunately they are to narrow – and A return seems like the Way to go.
    Being A Danish citizen – This is a complexe and expensive procedure.
    1) Everlane demands all return with ups ( 550 dkr for returning A 1400 dkr shoe)
    2) everlane charge 6 dollars for refunding
    3) taxes payed to everlane ( almost 80 dollars for A t shirt and shoes) – I myself am responsible for getting This amount back from my Own country ( This Sounds so time consuming – that I am not even going to try……)
    The t shirt – I bought I am NOT sure it is Eco cotton ( it is NOT marked ) and I do NOT Think that the leather used for making the shoes is from Meat production or where it comes from
    I am NOT going to purchase from Everlane again – it seems to expensive.
