Perfect 10! - Day 4

Hello Everyone! Welcome to day 4 of the Perfect 10 blog series. Today, I decided to keep my outfit simple because sometimes less is more. In this case, less is more can mean a couple of things: less spending means more savings, less clutter in your closet means less time spent trying to figure out what to wear, however, I wanted to take this moment to consider the topic of conscious shopping - knowing where your clothing comes from. I recently read an article about a movement taking place in New Zealand to create a mark that distinguishes Child Labor Free clothing. Companies like H&M and Inditex (which owns Zara, Massimo Dutti, Oysho...to name a few) have been under scrutiny for the use of child labor in the mass production of their garments. Products certified with the Child Labor Free mark provides assurance that brands carrying that mark are committed to operating ethically and ensuring their business is free of child labor.

"In the same way that we have come to expect ‘cruelty free’ as an industry standard in beauty products or actively seek out ‘organic’ or ‘free range’ produce in the supermarkets, we believe ‘Child Labor Free’ needs to become a globally recognised standard."

Afterall, less exploitation of child labor means more happy kids in the world.

With that, I leave you with Outfit #4
