I recently had a reader judge me about my choice to buy “frivolous” luxury bags when I’m into ethical clothing. And i get it (I’ve heard it from my own mom a ton of times). But for reasons I can’t explain, I really enjoy using nice bags.

I look at it this way: some people like to spend money on travel and others on gourmet food. I just like bags and instead of fighting it, I go with it because it brings me joy.
But I’m just careful to do this hobby responsibly. That means buying secondhand as much as possible and selling bags when I’m no longer using them.
I also write luxury bag reviews on my mostly ethical clothing review blog because I’m hoping to convert those who like nice bags to also spend their money on quality ethical clothing. The least ethical thing to me is to buy the luxury bag and then buy only fast fashion. I mean if you can afford the bag, invest in a few quality ethical clothing pieces(no more high-low nonsense please, if anything I rather see a mix of ethical and conventional). Anyway this has been my longest insta post yet so thanks if you’ve made it down here. And of course my longest post is about bags 😆 P.S. I did a review of the Celine nano belt bag which I linked in my bio 🖋

I’m so lucky to be able to partner with Everlane to bring you a review of this polka dot dress made of Cupro, a sustainable fabric made from cotton waste by-product! Read all about it on the blog today 🖋link in bio #suppliedbyEverlane

This is what I wore yesterday for a most beautiful wedding 😁

Wasn’t feeling well the last couple days so I didn’t get a chance to finish my #summer10x10 but I can’t not finish it after 9 looks right? So here’s look number 10, one of my favorite linen uniforms! Thanks to everyone who followed along for my first summer #10x10challenge 💕

Day 9 of the #summer10x10 and again trying a new combo. Not sure how I feel about baggy on top and baggy on the bottom 🤔 but at least it’s keeping the heat at bay

Day 8 of the #summer10x10 and I’m finally getting to combos that I never would have normally worn, but I gotta say I love this! ‘Tis the beauty of the #10x10challenge

Day 7 of the #summer10x10 already?! Only 3 more outfits after this but that’s when the creativity juices will start flowing. As for today, wearing another one of my slow fashion uniforms 😁

Wearing linen on linen today for day 6 of the #summer10x10 💙 Also just finished a linen comparison post sizing up the linen from Elizabeth Suzann, notPerfectlinen, Only Child, Grana, Everlane, and Tradlands! To find out which one I thought was the best go to the link in my bio!

Feeling very SF Giants themed in this orange linen tank and baseball cap (both from @Everlane) on day 5 of the #summer10x10

Day 4 of the #summer10x10 wearing my favorite Alta top from @only_child and linen skirt from @notperfectlinen 💕 raw silk and linen go together like 🍪&🥛 (there aren’t any emojis for pb&j 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Grateful for good friends who not only do not laugh at me when I tell them I have to take a pic for Instagram but who also help me out by being my photog on day 3 of my #summer10x10 challenge 😁 P.S. I finally got this Marlena dress shortened and I love it even more now!

Sunglasses to hide my tired eyes and same pants as yesterday because of a tired brain. But at least I managed to document the second day of the #summer10x10 challenge 🤷🏻‍♀️

Starting off my first #summer10x10 challenge with an outfit combo I’ve come to call “Ole’ Reliable” 😆 Also my trailer days are numbered so might as well get some shots in front of my temporary home while I still can!

Added another secondhand Elizabeth Suzann piece to my collection (from @selltradees ) ❤️ read the review of this Petra Crop on the blog now 🖋link in bio

There’s something so classically American about a denim skirt 🇺🇸and I really love this high-waisted 100% cotton version from Everlane❤️ the full review up on the blog now 🖋linked in bio

Outfit repeating to the farmers market. Hope you all have a good weekend!

insta: @TemporaryHousewifey

My small corner of the internet to share my life in a temporary-house (a trailer), my style (consisting mostly of Everlane, Elizabeth Suzann, and 2nd hand bags), and anything else that I'm interested in. Almost all reviews here are unsponsored and unbiased (or at least I try to be). I hope you find something useful here and thanks for reading!
