sustainable fashion

A little over a 11 years ago, during a very dark place in my life I started Je M'appelle Chanel on a Macbook in my Mom's house. Originally the blog was nameless, but one day not long after I had started it I was drifting off to sleep, and it came to me, Je M'appelle Chanel.

Most of my style blog posts start out with a story of how the piece caught my eye, but to be completely honest I can't remember when I first clocked this piece. Only that I did, and that it feels like I spent eternity (a little under 2 years) doing some Gatsby level pining for this jumpsuit.

Perhaps you were looking for a post on mending a broken heart in which case I have no answers for you because that's hard. Today's post is on mending a different kind of broken heart. I don't know about you but there's a certain kind of sadness I feel when I hear a seam pop.

Years ago I wrote a post on a LBD (Little black dress). I'm not going to disobey Carrie Bradshaw and mock the clothes but the dress wasn't for me.

I think I've developed a problem–I only want clothes that make my heart swoon. That make me feel the most Sonia like. I've talked about it on the blog before, its probably my number one fashion tip. Hold out for clothes that leave you speechless.

Last year, I participated in the 20 in 2020 dressing challenge. Which involved limiting my purchases to no more than 20 wardrobe/fashion pieces. This challenge opened my eyes on how limiting my fashion purchases could not only keep my style sustainable, but that shopping with intentionality can be incredibly joyful. While I didn't have a formal number of how many items I was allowed to purchase this year I realized I could purchase 20 items or less.
