I have always loved clothing and fashion. I would often tell people jokingly that my dream job would be a personal stylist/shopper. There’s nothing quite like helping someone look their best, expressing their personality through clothing, supporting passionate designers and business owners, AND staying within or under budget of course (or splurging when you need)!
Something about planning and coordinating an outfit has always brought me peace and excitement to look forward to the next day.
Here in sunny Southern California, we’re four months (six months as I publish this) into quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two months earlier, I had been furloughed from my job in live music. As I spent a lot of my free time walking outdoors to get out of the house, I was craving purpose and inspiration, just like everyone else.
One day during one of my morning walks with my Dad, it hit me. A unique idea that supported my passions, helped the planet, and filled a gap between sustainable fashion and aspiring conscious consumers like me. They say ideas and inspiration hit you like a lightning bolt, but for me it was like a butterfly landing on my shoulder–unexpected, quiet, subtle, and miraculous. The Fashion Eco Score journey officially began.
