Stripes + florals forever! I’m wearing @littlepartydress Eddie sundress [$69.95; size 14; kindly gifted] in @kasey.rainbow Flower Power print over @katiesfashion organic cotton tee from the wardrobe archives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m introducing new @teamstylefile hashtags to the family! We have been celebrating Aotearoa NZ and Australian style with #stylefileantipodean and #stylefilemadeinaustralia, as well as being more mindful with our fashion with #stylefilesustainable ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We also need to celebrate other things close to my heart - girl bosses and wearable art! Introducing #stylefilewearableart and #stylefilegirlboss. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m delighted to be able to be a walking picture frame with artist collaborations, like my @clairepony x @gormanclothing hairbow and @kasey.rainbow x @littlepartydress dress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Always happy to support women led businesses too 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #kimbalikeshairbows #printclashprincess X https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Nb_zinyKQ/?igshid=4kimuauxb4ns

I’ve been making a conscious effort for a while now when it comes to my fashion. I’m buying fewer pieces, buying more ethical fashion, shopping local, buying from girl boss businesses, and from rural and regional shops when on holiday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve also stepped up my efforts to reduce the impact of my fashion by laundering less and airing more, altering and mending, as well as being more mindful of the products I use. White vinegar with a drop of an essential oil scented blend is a much better fabric softener in all senses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still have far too many clothes and shoes and bags. I have too many special show pony pieces that I don’t wear very often. And I still buy some fast fashion. I’m a WIP. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bushfire catastrophe has brought ethical and sustainable front of mind. We all know we need to do better; some have more steps in their journey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a family, we have all been more mindful when it comes to waste and consumption. There is much more that we can do and we are challenging ourselves to keep making improvements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today’s outfit is by the amazing Australian ethical @doopsdesigns, made in the Byron Bay hinterlands from 100% linen. I’ve sized up to the XXL/18 because I love an oversized silhouette 💗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll be adding a few more hashtags to our @teamstylefile collection, so we can inspire others to discover ethical and local fashion labels ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefileantipodean - outfits featuring Aotearoa NZ + Australian style labels ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefilemadeinaustralia - outfits featuring clothes made in Australia ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #stylefilesustainable - outfits featuring sustainable and ethical fashion ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #SummerStyleFile #kimbalikesStyleFile #TeamStyleFile #TripleCstyle #realmumstyle #40plusstyle #stylefile40plus #CurvyAU #size16style #spotmystyle #realstreetstyle #daremorecareless #sydneystyleblogger #wearedonthestreet #womenwithstyle #australianfashionblogger #everydaystyle #doopsdesigns #stylefilespots #stylefilejumpsuit #stylefilelinen #showusyourgorman X https://www.instagram.com/p/B7FwjMlHBAX/?igshid=ryo4yi163jd8
