June 10, 2021<\/em> \u2013 Y’all. I have recently returned from a glorious long, long weekend vacation in Puerto Vallarta and I am in my happiest form. Relaxed, tanned, and ready for summer! I don’t know why I never considered doing a tropical vacation over Memorial Day weekend, but it is truly the best. You leave still in a “spring” state of mind, live in swim suits for a few days, and return to full-out summertime. 10\/10 recommend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although the all-inclusive resort we stayed at was far from sustainable (pick your battles), you guys know I’m trying to build a more ethical closet and resort wear totally applies! I’ve been skeptical of Everlane previously because of their response to workers’ complaints, so I watched at a distance. This year, I’ve seen them take some steps toward change. It’s tough, especially with cancel culture running amok, but I have to believe that this brand is trying to be better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visibility that they’ve brought to sustainable supply chains can’t be ignored either. Before Everlane, there weren’t really any clothing companies that were 1) demanding suppliers’ fair treatment of producers, 2) building in more sustainable practices to production, 3) purchasing and distributing at such high quantities, AND 4) selling at accessible price points. Now, some may argue that perhaps you can’t be purchasing in those large quantities and maintain ethical\/sustainable practices. Some may also say that other companies were doing that at higher prices because that’s what it should cost. And others would say that Everlane’s prices are still not accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harsh truth? There will probably always be something wrong with ethical and sustainable companies. It’s next to impossible to make it in a capitalist society without standing on the shoulders of someone else. But that’s a whole different story! Yikes, I’m getting off topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I wanted to share with you is that I decided to try out Everlane for the first time. And I am actually so glad that I did, because it brought this sunny little beauty into my life: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
