I Live in Shades

ImageMarch 16, 2015 Raw Fashion Blog5 Comments

Hello all! The weather is finally in the positives here in Saskatoon, so it seems like Spring is on the way. However the question is, when will I ever transition from my black and white wardrobe into a cheerful spring wardrobe? I will not give any promises!

Sweater: Vero Moda (similar)
Skirt: Ark & Co.
Purse: Deux Lux
Shoes: Call it Spring

xoxo,
– Tiara

The 3rd Annual Pop-Up Clothing Swap Party by @dosaskyxe is happening on May 21st at 7pm at the @ywca_saskatoon! —— I will be presenting and talking about sustainable fashion hacks, as part of @wildaboutyxe: Nature City Festival! —— Dessert will be available and there will be live music by Jason Maillet from Carbonless Concerts (he charges all his equipment by solar panels on his deck and brings all his equipment on a wagon attached to the back of his bike)! —— Space is limited, please RSVP. —— All funds collected will be donated to the YWCA Turning Points program, a transitional housing program offered to women willing to change their lives. Hope to see you there! —— Photography: @karynlovesnoah

Tag a minimum of 3 friends (each comment is an entry) —— As an individual who has a chronic autoimmune disease, Endometriosis, that causes me chronic pain and inflammation, I know the relief that products containing CBD oil have on my body & mind. I am excited to be able to give the gift of natural pain-fighting & inflammation-busting goodies to one lucky winner! —— Contest Terms: This giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Instagram. Contest will close Thursday May 16 at 5pm. Winner will be contacted via Instagram Direct Messaging. Contest is open internationally. Good luck!

This weekend I attended the last night of the very last @skfashionweek event with @laura_elena1 💃🏻 —— I thought long and hard about what I should wear to such a momentous occasion. I knew I wanted my outfit to consist of items that I already owned or second-hand items. I also knew I wanted my outfit to speak out about feminist activism, so I decided to wear my “women don’t owe you shit” t-shirt from @chnge. This shirt speaks volumes in times that I cannot. I had so many women come up to me and tell me they loved my shirt and that they agreed with it. It was a conversation starter for a conversation that needs to occur way more often... —— Women don’t owe you sex Women don’t owe you their body Women don’t owe you their time Women don’t owe you conversation Women don’t owe you amusement Women don’t owe you a relationship Women don’t owe you a child Women don’t owe you a smile Women don’t owe you consent Women don’t owe you tolerance of sexist bullshit Women don’t owe you ANYTHING Women do not exist to satisfy sexual desires, women do not exist to provide children, women do not exist to comment on or catcall, women do not exist to play house, women do not exist to be treated as objects, women do not exist to get raped, women do not exist to get murdered, women do not exist to get paid lower than men... women are human beings and it’s about time women, all womxn, got treated equally and fairly. —— My outfit details: -organic cotton shirt: @chnge -vintage wool skirt: my mom’s in the 1980s -vintage belt: my grandmother’s in the 1970s -vintage chokers: my mom’s in the 1990s

On Thursday I hosted a private backyard garage sale for my friends & family and I supplied free snacks 😋 —— These snacks were bought in bulk in my own glass jars - providing incredibly tasty treats with absolutely no plastic! You can host low-waste events, it’s a lot easier than you may think! I supplied little glasses to put the snacks in, no need for single-use items or disposables! —— Everyone absolutely loved this little selection and could not get over how delicious everything was - I picked these zero-waste snacks up at @bulkbasket here in Saskatoon. I highly recommend this store, they have so many incredible goodies for a more sustainable lifestyle!

| get to know me | I was challenged by @essentially_crystal to do a post where I answer 10 questions about myself. I challenge @vampmakeup, @amythorp & @laura_elena1 1. Soap or Shower Gel: bar soap all the way! shower gel isn’t even soap - no thanks! 2. Sneakers or Heels: I absolutely love sneakers and I despise heels. 3. Pastels or Neon: pastels till I die, I honestly think neon is just tacky. 4. Butterfly or Dragonfly: I adore both. 5. Magnolia or Lilac: lilacs are one of my absolute favourite flowers and definitely one of my favourite scents. 6. Bikini or One Piece: I have a lovely one-piece, however I do like to embrace my scars from surgery, so both! 7. Sun or Snow: hahahaha I think everyone in Saskatchewan would have the same answer... SUN SUN SUN. 8. Santa Claus or Easter Bunny: neither, how about Jack O’Lantern. 9. Gin & Tonic or Spritzer: neither, I do not drink alcohol. I’ll settle for a lovely cup of tea. 10. Princess or Witch: 100% witch, I am obsessed with The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix. What else would you love to know about me? Let me know in the comments below!

Today was a crazy busy day - as most of my days are. I truly don’t know what a day off or relaxation feels like 😂 It started out with pelvic floor physical therapy (a necessity after my wide excision surgery for stage IV Endometriosis), a quick run to Value Village (where I thrifted the jars with clamp lids). Then I quickly visited @bulkbasket where I picked up coarse sea salt, epsom salt and rose petals in bulk (inspired by @nonlocal.joy). After I went to my hair appointment (@bbkitzul is the funniest human being on the planet) then I came home and tended to all my house plants (I have over 60 of my own plants) and now I am trying to organize a fun private garage sale for my friends & family to come to and score some great secondhand goodies (and waste-free snacks)! All while fighting the patriarchy! Exhausting!

Saskatoon, are you ready to shop my closet? —— I am taking the clothing that I no longer wear to @closetraidinc tomorrow (May 5th) from 1-5pm at Saskatoon Makerspace (209 Ave D, South). I will be joined by 18 other ladies that are also bringing items from their closet that they no longer wear. This is a great opportunity to pick up some second-hand pieces! —— I will have lots of vintage for sale, all sizes, & lots of unisex options! Hope to see you there YXE!

The first issue of the @wastefreeplanet digital magazine is available & I could not recommend it enough! —— This digital magazine is full of tips on how to: -create more plant-based meals -create sustainable DIY projects -travel sustainably -garden sustainably -incorporate sustainable fashion into your life -create sustainable essential oil DIY goodies -& much more! —— @essentially_crystal is the incredible woman behind this digital magazine. This magazine is packed full of useful and informative tips on how to live a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle. This magazine is a testament of Crystal’s love for the environment, sustainability, and the success of collaboration amongst people all over the world that share the same passions. —— I am so honoured that I am able to write for this digital magazine and I’m so proud of this magazine as a whole. —— If you want to read this digital magazine yourself, check out @wastefreeplanet and click on the link in their profile! Happy reading 🌿

Sustainable fashion is my passion 🌿 —— One of my favourite companies to support is @chnge & they just celebrated their 1st year in business 🎉 In a year, they have been able to: -save 15,946,000 gallons of water -offset 2,500,000 pounds of CO2 -save 1,700 trees -plant 500 new trees —— The most important thing when buying new is to thoroughly research the brand you are buying from. Many companies greenwash their products and slap “sustainable” or “ethical” in the product description, without the product actually being sustainable or ethical. Don’t fall into the trap of believing everything you read, especially when it isn’t backed with proof or scientific facts. The company needs to have: -detailed description of the materials and fabric they use and the exact makeup of the fabric #syntheticsarenotsustainable #syntheticfabricisstillplastic -a detailed write up about the factories they use to create their items from start to finish #endslavelabor -partners & or charities that work to create positive environmental change that the company works with or donates to #changetheindustry -the detailed dye process #chemicaldyefree #nontoxicdye -very high quality items that will last for decades to come #endfastfashion -items need to be able to be machine washed or hand washed #drycleaningistoxic -items shipped to you without any usage of plastic. Look for 100% eco-natural paper bags with recycled paper and water-based ink #endsingleuseplastic —— Most importantly, don’t buy to buy. Invest in items when they are needed 🌿

After my presentation yesterday at the @sklivinggreenexpo I walked around and talked to some of the people who had booths set up. It’s exciting to be able to learn more about the services and programs that are available in Saskatchewan. —— I am thrilled to be the new owner of the @naturesaskatchewan books ‘Getting to Know Saskatchewan Lichens’ and ‘Lilies, Irises & Orchids of Saskatchewan’. I cannot wait to take these with me on my next hike and identify some species! I really love that these books have whether the species is common, rare, vulnerable, threatened and/or endangered. —— When hiking, always stay on the path. Never pick anything, simply leave it to grow. Never leave any trace that you were there (never litter or create rock statues). Pick yourself up some plant ID books and really take the time to educate yourself on the plants in your area - we are a part of the environment, not above it. —— I also received some seed bombs!🌱 They contain basil, parsley and oregano! I can’t wait to plant them! —— Thanks again for having me @sklivinggreenexpo and thank you to everyone who helped make it happen 💚

Now here’s some true sustainable style 😂 if you don’t accessorize with a reusable mug, you should start! —— Every time I leave my house, I have a mug in my bag and I have a backup mug in my car trunk in case I forget the one in my bag. Super simple steps like this can set you up for sustainable success and help you to avoid single-use items. Search “DIY zero waste car kit” on www.rawfashionblog.com for instructions on how to create a kit and what to include in it! —— Outfit details: -100% organic cotton shirt: hand-me-down from my auntie -100% vintage raw silk trousers: @vintagesoulgeek -vintage earrings: thrifted from @valuevillage_thrift -bracelet: @mnross -rings: @huntofhounds -reusable stainless steel mug: @starbuckscanada —— Photography: @amythorpphotography 💕

🌿GIVEAWAY🌿 —— Hello everyone! I am giving away two tickets to the @sklivinggreenexpo to see me talk about sustainable fashion on Sunday April 28th at 1pm! The ticket is good for the whole day - so you can also check out the entire expo!
