I know what you are thinking. And Yes, that is a plastic biker jacket.
Hey Guys! Yes, it is Paolina here. Sorry for being so crappy with updating this week. The Salvation Army 2 dollar sale and VV half off sale haul post is coming soon. Everything I bought the past week has had to go through the washing machine. But everything is finally washed now so expect that post soon.
Now on to the point of this whole post. I wanted to talk to you guys about this cool thing I have been working on (wow how generic, a 'Thing'). A few weeks ago I was contacted by the super fabulous people of Woolmark about their campaign Fashion by Feelings. Its main idea is to educate people about wool being a natural renewable fiber and encourage them to incorporate more wool into their wardrobe. They do this through creating a kind of lookbook site where people post their wool outfits and you can vote for which one you like the best. I am totally gung-ho for their message and since practically half my wardrobe is wool (I am a hoarder of wool sweaters) there was no way I couldn't put together a cool look. I didn't want to go for just a wool sweater so I also wore a plaid wool skirt as well. You guys actually saw me in the process of figuring out what to wear for this picture a few posts back. I am really happy with how the photo turned out. It is very back to school girlish I find, which is right on time because school starts in two days.
It would mean the world to me if you voted for my look. It takes literally 20 seconds. You just vote, put in your e-mail and stuff and voila! Done! So that would be really cool of you. The winner gets to go to Sydney Australia which is fricken CRAZY. But nonetheless it is a great idea to support.
So if you want to vote for me then you can click the link below.
And if you want to check out more looks, or enter the contest yourself (which I highly encourage you to) then go to http://www.fashionbyfeelings.com
Have a good night :)
