Two women wearing plus-sized swimsuits. The cuts are sportier and simplistic, but very colorful.

A white woman with long, black hair is wearing a black velvet dress and standing in the snow. The woods behind her are making her look disproportionately small, like a fairy.

I was actually a fairy the entire time ❄️🧚✨

A woman in a midi-length bodycon dress with crudely printed Snowman movie posters on it. She is walking a half-naked adult man on a leash down a city block. Yes, he is on his hands and knees.

"Sustainable fashion is boring!" Umm, explain this then?

it's snowing in coastal north carolina!

the TikTok algorithm is so good that it even served up the perfect video to act as the background for its ban announcement

They just changed the TikTok message to remove the Trump praise lol

outfit of the day 🖤🪦🐈‍⬛🕸️🕷️ #ootd #gothiclolita #fitcheck

In case anyone was wondering, the "cat tunnel under the tree" trick works like a charm!

The way that some "sustainable slow fashion" content creators will preach the value of buying your clothing from ethical sources & then collab with the likes of Urban Outfitters or H&M pisses me off. I won't maintain a connection with someone who doesn't stand ten toes down on their values.

Outfit layering tip you might not've thought of yet - your skirts can also be worn at the bust as mini dresses & mini skirts!

A white woman with black hair and bangs sitting in a car with an unamused expression. Her sleeve is rolled up to reveal an improperly-placed band-aid on her arm, implying she got a shot.

Scheduled an appointment online w/ a local pharmacy for the novavax & an HPV vax. Turns out, they didn't have *either.* They couldn't figure out how to bill Medicaid for a Moderna covid vax. Had to wait for an hour and left with a flu shot I did not sign up for.

There’s a long proud history of Jewish atheism and agnosticism. Yiddish culture & radical thought. Spinozish, arguably. You can be a great Jew and not believe in God. So much of our focus is on caring for people & the world here & now.

Reminder that you don't always need to cinch your waist

People seem to really believe that every garment factory around the world is just a shein factory that makes every article of clothing to ever exist and all of the fashion brands that exist actually just get their clothes from the shein factory and mark it up unfairly

You should beautify the ritual of getting dressed and imbue yourself with an intentional aesthetic value that is true to *you!*

Go out of your way to obtain the finest garments that you're able to, seek out your favorite textures and colors and silhouettes. You're worth it!

I know this is a bit more metaphysical than people are used to seeing from me, but I feel there is a psychological and personal benefit to slow and thoughtful consumption just as there is a moral imperative to do so.

Good On You - Sustainable Fashion and Beauty Brand Ratings Thousands of brand ratings, articles and expertise on more sustainable fashion and beauty. Know the impact of brands on people and planet, and discover better options.

I know that finding higher-quality, ethical brands is a challenge for many. You can use goodonyou.eco to check out the ethics of various brands and find a great many lists of sustainable brands that cater to your needs!

And it's also important to remember that when it comes to new clothes, a higher price tag doesn't automatically equal higher-quality, but you can get nice, sustainably and ethically-made clothes new for the same price that you can get clothes from Zara or Anthropologie.

I'm not saying you shouldn't ever buy garments priced under $20, of course.

In fact, thanks to the thriving secondhand market, you can find tons of high-quality garments online or in-person for around that price range.

Having fewer, nicer garments has enriched my life, and taking the time to pick out higher-quality items means I will have the chance to create decades worth of memories in them. I will relive those beautiful moments of my life every time I wear my clothes - every single day.

My clothes, now, are blessings to me, because when I wear that dress, I remember that it's the dress I wore to the mikveh, the dress I wore on that nice date with my partner, the dress I wore to a friend's wedding, the dress I wore to take a walk in the park on a nice evening.

Now, that nice dress is imbued not just with beauty and intention, but memories, which are another thing central to Jewish culture.

When someone passes away, we say, "may their memory be a blessing."

The difference in how I felt wearing $20 Forever 21 clothes that I could buy often and in a $180 dress from a sustainable brand that I saved up for was so stark, I felt 10x more confident and in tune with the world at large. I wear that dress all the time and it's so rewarding!

My body lets me feel the touch of my loved ones and the sound of songbirds and the laughter of children - of course I want to honor it by dressing it in a way that is pleasing to me! Of course I want to clothe it in the finest garments I can find!

I want you to consider the beautification of the ritual of getting dressed.

This is a concept that you don't need to be religious to revere. It is a great miracle that you're alive and your body is a blessing that allows you to feel the sun on your skin!
