What the !@#$% Are You Wearing {Featuring “MaryInk”}
I try to keep this blog focused on decorating – but I also seriously dig fashion.
For the last year or two, however, it’s become increasingly tricky for me to find fun clothes to wear, since I swore off clothes made in questionable labor conditions. I’ve practically lived in this dress, and its sister, this summer. I discovered it in Boston when I was helping Melissa move – at an awesome shop called “On Centre” in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood. I popped in just for a look, and immediately my eye was drawn to a rack of sleeveless dresses, screen printed with all sorts of great patterns.
I tried one on, and it fit like a charm – not to mention that the t-shirt-like cotton construction made is super comfy and easy to wear.
The designer, MaryInk, is a small business based out of Nashville. Not only do they hand-print their clothes with beautiful and unique designs, they source their clothes from Alternative Apparel, which is a much more socially-conscious (and eco-friendly) company than most clothing retailers out there. SCORE!
