Eco-Style | Sustainable Fashion

Apart from big names that are sitting comfortably at the top of the fashion industry (such as LV, Chanel, Burberry, Christian Dior to name a few), do you know what else is climbing its' way up the fashion ladder? Yup, and that would be sustainable fashion (or green fashion).

Anyways, it's sustainability week here at the University of Alberta! I'm (Carmen) part of a student group called Eco-Style, and we basically promote sustainable fashion throughout the campus and around Edmonton. You can find the facebook page here. We really do encourage donating your unwanted but still wearable clothes, and to thrift shop for awesome fashion finds at a great price. It's friendly to the environment and plus...your wallet would probably thank you.

As well, a huge thank you to Alyssa Lau from the Ordinary Peoples blog for being one of our models for this shoot. Check out her look book and blog! The girl's got some impressive style goin' on! As well thanks to the committee, all the stylists, makeup artists, Henry, and all other models for helping out!

Doris and I helped out with the photoshoot and makeup, so keep scrolling down for images. The theme is pretty much like a vintage house party. All clothing items are from Goodwill.

PS. There will be a fashion show at the University of Alberta in SUB on November 16th. All clothing will be from Goodwill and will be styled by Eco-Style. Come check it out! Go green, everyone!



Keeping It Casual feat. Henry

Here is our first male outfit post! It took us forever to convince Carmen's little brother to help us model this shoot, since he's a little camera shy and always busy with school. Keep scrolling for more images!

T-shirt: $15 Zara 
  Pants: $69 Club Monaco 
 Watch: Fossil (gifted) 
 -- total: $84

Every guy needs at least one plain outfit that fits and frames their body nicely. We love earth tones, so we decided to choose pants that were a soft evergreen colour to contrast with the plain white t-shirt. We could have opted for a t-shirt with a round neck, but we felt that the V-neck helps accentuate Henry's shoulders and collarbones. His hair was left alone for that clean cut and effortless boy look. What type of male outfits do you guys like most?

Henry will be doing some shoots with us every now and then for our occassional male outfits. Keep an eye out!

P.s. We are now on Bloglovin!
