Over the last few years I have become complacent and sloppy about my appearance. I used to really be into fashion and making my own clothes and I was a terrible labelwhore although I’ve given most of that stuff away. Lately, I have begun to change being sloppy about my appearance. I had my haircut for the first time since I moved to Madison and dyed back to my natural color. I wear BareMinerals nearly everday and have a nice stock of Origins products as well. I have already given away my Prada and Hobo leather purses. I am in the process of cleaning out my closet but still have several pairs of of (old) leather shoes. I have quite a few cashmere sweaters that I am on the fence about. But I am definitely going to get rid of the Marc Jacobs stuff I have left. He makes stuff out of chinchillas! I have too many clothes anyway and they don’t even fit in my closet and my bedroom looks like the closet threw up all over it.

There are three things I will not get rid of even though they are animal products. The silk and fresh water pearl necklace and bracelet I wore at my wedding, my ivory silk wedding dress and scarf, and a pearl necklace given to me by my mentor that was given to her mother by Grace Kelly.

I am so out of the loop but Melissa shoes are amazing. And made of recycled plastic and the sweat of fairly paid workers! Oh my! I guess I don’t need to go to Target anymore to get cute shoes. I would rather pay a bit more for eco and human friendly ones.

I especially <3 these:
