Sadly I found some not so bad ethical maternity shops, but they are all in EUROPE?! Why none in the US? Stinks because I hate the styles in the US compared to what is in Europe. lol. I also might check out H&M, they aren't great, but they are trying to campaign that they are trying to improve working conditions for their workers.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730633559388953224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-6136168110514697482016-06-14T07:19:17.337-07:002016-06-14T07:19:17.337-07:00Ha, I think some of them do dread when they see me...Ha, I think some of them do dread when they see me with the camera! It's tough being famous, but not rich ha ha.<br />I've decided that trying to do the right thing is absolutely exhausting. And near impossible if on a budget. I can imagine that there are super ethical maternity clothes, and baby clothes and accessories, but I'm also sure the prices are INSANE. I will never stop trying to do the best thing, but I have to admit that sometimes it's overwhelming, and also impossible financially.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829919190901891587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-87070385519471782672016-06-14T06:47:05.899-07:002016-06-14T06:47:05.899-07:00Haha that picture of your cats looks like they are...Haha that picture of your cats looks like they are shielding the other from the paparazzi. XD<br /><br />That is great you were able to make those returns. I am dredding my current clothing situation. I am pregnant and still making it work, but ugh, it is painful to have to buy nice expensive clothing that I will be wearing for a few months. (unless I get pregnant again and stay the same weight) The worst thing is that I am not even sure what ethical maternity clothing companies there are! I've bought two official maternity things- one Target, the other from a company that I am not sure what their ethics are. I am thinking about ways to work around it, mostly thanking that I will be my biggest in the winter and maybe only have to buy a few pants and then buy second hand sweaters that are in large-xx large. But like everything needs to be new- bras, undies, EVERYTHING! AND I need to buy things for baby?! It is really is hard.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730633559388953224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-71650219009954698732016-06-11T10:05:57.667-07:002016-06-11T10:05:57.667-07:00After years of being too self destructive to care ...After years of being too self destructive to care about my principles, it's very important for me to walk the walk. After the comment below, I'm now rethinking my plan. My usual is to buy a few new items of clothing a year, and supplement the rest with thrift clothes, so maybe Old Navy is an okay store for a few things. I always assumed they were into unethical practices because it's America. Trying to do the right thing is extremely confusing and overwhelming when it comes to consumerism!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829919190901891587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-36298095616453313552016-06-11T10:01:25.967-07:002016-06-11T10:01:25.967-07:00Wow, thanks for the info!

In trying to research, I get overwhelmed and don't know what to do, because I can't afford clothes from a lot of these vegan companies! I would love to, but sometimes local and ethical is definitely for a different tax bracket than mine. You made me feel a lot better and gave me reason to learn more myself.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829919190901891587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710502269072433078.post-74650666658029078382016-06-10T21:34:32.208-07:002016-06-10T21:34:32.208-07:00I have to say something because i work in the fash...I have to say something because i work in the fashion industry. Not all new clothes are therefore bad and contributing to environmental harm and poor working conditions and wages. It's actually the very large corporations such as gap inc (which owns old navy) which have very strict rules about the factories they will work with- there are suprise inspections regularly, no more than 40hr work weeks, and factories are shut down if they do not comply. <br />Anyways, the choice is yours, but surprisingly very large american companies have a long list of requirements for all overseas vendors. <br />Ttrockwood<br />PS<br />What a gorgeous pizza!!!

I have been wearing some .99 flip flops from Old Navy for years now, but I did see the documentary about how the casual wear industry is destroying the planet.

Cherries and grape leaves make me think of you !
