A quick scan through my closet makes it pretty apparent that I'm drawn primarily to neutrals and solids. As "boring" as a closet full of neutrals can seem, one of my favorite ways to spice things up is to add interesting prints in the form of accessories. One of my new-ish wardrobe related goals for this year is to add more pattern to the pieces in my closet and to the accessories I use — because as much as I would love black, grey, and striped everything, sometimes I crave a little bit of color.

The first thing that drew me to Mahisi was, of course, their gorgeous prints. I typically stick to classic designs when it comes to my handbags (like in my ever-faithful ENAT tote) but I couldn't help imagining all of the incredible ways their boho prints would mesh with the neutrals in my closet.

I was having a conversation with my mom the other day about how a simple shift in business practices can be incredibly life giving for so many people. Although most fast fashion (and a portion of slow fashion) brands use third parties to source and create their goods, sometimes even using a "one for one" business model in an effort to give back, these brands are, in a way, taking opportunities from local, international, or indigenous artisans who have built their life around making the same goods by hand.

I'm morally against beginning a conversation by musing on the weather, but for this one, I might have to break my moral code. Because it's the beginning of June, in midwestern USA, and this outfit is one I actually wore outside. The next day I was at the beach in a swimsuit, but that's beside the point. I've put away the majority of my cold weather wardrobe, but there are a few pieces I've left out for "freak" weather days like the one we had a few days ago. And my beanie from Myssy is at the top of that list.
