Big sigh. I've loved pretty much everything complexgeometries has put out since I first discovered the brand. I've coveted their pieces since seeing them on bloggers like Camille from childhood flames. I love the concept of clothing that you can wear an infinite number of ways. The problem with that lovely idea, though, is that I keep thinking this dress is to special for everyday use, so then I don't wear it at all. And clothes are meant to be worn, right?
About me: I am currently studying abroad in Copenhagen and will be going home in a little over two weeks. When I return, I will be signing my first apartment lease, which means my annual/never-ending closet purging will be more crucial than ever. Despite the fact that I have made a vow to not buy new clothes for a year, my closet is still the size of a small country, rather than the carefully curated selection of loved pieces that it should be. As the UN climate conference begins next week, I can't help but feel guilty for my excess of consumerism over the past years. But what to do with all of the clothes I've amassed? Well, finding them new homes with people who will wear them well is about as good a sustainable model I can think of :)
special note: I am not returning to the states until Sunday, December 20th. That means the earliest I can ship anything is the next day, December 21st (but I will be quick about it!).
