Sustainable Fashion

Mom, I don't like this, can I please buy that trendy dress ?" This is a very common question in Millennials. As a parent what are you going to do about it?

This is the time for conscious parenting. Are we doing enough to keep the environment safe for our offsprings? With eco-warriors all around us, how can we keep contributing to the landfills and become a part of the active pollution contributors?

So, are we going to give in to their desires & wants, and further upset the ecosystem? Or, are we going to teach them Sustainability. 

Have you noticed when you go for shopping with your children, they are always looking for something which is trendy and yet not bought by their friends. Sometimes they ask you to return the purchase, as their friend has already showcased the same dress on social media.  Yes with social media, there is a lot more pressure on the dressing. Even they do not like repeating their dress. 

It's just not about the affordability, it's about teaching the millennial about the best use of the resources available to them.

 Teach them to reuse, re-wear and restyle. Every time you mix and match you explore your creative side and bring in a new essence to your whole look. In the below pic, I have paired the Jaipuri skirt with a long kurta, short Kurti and a long tee. Each look complemented a different mood.

I like to play around a lot with saree too. Since my love for saree got stronger, my creativity with saree touched a different chord. 

In the above pic, I have draped the same six yard in different looks. Top left is a hands-free drape, meant to go for your everyday chores. Bottom left is draped in a dress style and paired with a denim jacket, to go for a casual coffee day. The right pic is popular nivi drape. 

Teach your children to be creative in their fashion sense. 

Create your own style statement and don't follow others. Stand strong and different. "Don't be part of the wannabe, be the one who has it..."
