Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Fashion - My Wish List from The Reformation

April 8, 2016 Laura Weatherbee

Last year I watched a documentary about the fashion industry called The True Cost, and I was deeply disturbed by what I learned. The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, but the costs to the environment and the overseas laborers who make the majority of our clothing is devastating. The fast fashion industry promotes the idea that clothing is disposable, and designers must churn out new styles at an increasingly fast pace to keep up. But Reformation is a Los Angeles-based clothing company that aims to change all that. They manufacture their clothing in an environmentally-responsible factory using sustainable fabrics and vintage garments. Their workers are paid fair wages, and they strive to achieve sustainability on every level - from using 100% renewable energy suppliers to shipping items in recyclable packaging. While all of that sounds wonderful, it does add up to higher costs for the consumer. I'll be honest - the majority of clothing that I've purchased in my lifetime came from Forever 21, Target, and Old Navy, so the thought of paying $200 for a dress is definitely shocking to me. But sustainability is important to me, and this changes the way I shop and think about fashion. I'd rather spend more on fewer pieces that I truly love, and wear them over and over again. And the truth is, having less clothing makes life so much easier. I don't need a big closet, and I don't have to stress out thinking about what to wear every morning. I pulled together a wish list of my favorite pieces from the Reformation. Simple, classic, and stylish these would make great wardrobe staples that can be worn again and again! Keep reading for the full scoop: 

1. Tandy Top, White - $98
I love this cute white crop top. Light and summery, it works great with jeans or a cute skirt.
2. Dime Dress, Jubilation - $198
A chic, classic wrap dress perfect for work.
3. Vintage Denim Skirt - $98
Love this, need this, I want to wear it every day. 
4. Eugenia Two Piece, Barnyard - $198
Not sure if I can pull off this belly-baring look, but I sure want to give it a try. The cheerful yellow color is perfect for spring. 
5. Sunburst Dress, Cloud - $248
I'm a little flat-chested, so I love to show off my back. This sexy stunner would be great for a fancy party or wedding. 
6. Hibiscus Top, Stargazer - $128
Super love those shoulder cutouts. 
7. Jesse Jumpsuit, Cargo - $178
Seriously, I could live in this jumpsuit every day of my life. 
8. Belini Pant, Botanic - $158
These chic, flowy pants look super comfortable and stylish. 
9. Auden Dress, Bashful - $178
I love the simplicity of this classic dress in a sweet pink shade.

After two days of camping with @acemada, subsisting on mostly snacks and granola I was feeling hangry. I said we’re going to a proper restaurant for a sit down meal and that’s what we did. I had eggs Benedict with ratatouille and it was delicious 😋 .
