all the statements

{ What I Wore: hat ℅ Surf Dome // ASOS leopard jacket // oversized sweater ℅ Front Row Shop // Windsor Store leggings // Steve Madden boots (similar) // purse ℅ Yes Walker // necklace ℅ iSanctuary }

{Get the Look for Less}
hat {$47.50} + leopard jacket {$95} + camel sweater {$42} + liquid leather-look leggings {$36.90} + over the knee boots {$62} + black cross body purse {$25} + statement necklace {$42}

Ok, so apparently this outfit is a culmination of all the "statement" pieces I am drawn to these days:

statement jacket - check

statement hat - check

statement boots - check

and statement necklace - check

(pretty sure a sweater this oversized could be considered a "statement" too - like a "hi I stole this from my boyfriend" kind of statement)

But the necklace is more than just a stunning piece, it is a statement of support. 

Since 2007 iSanctuary has been employing & supporting the survivors of human trafficking through the sale of products handmade by the survivors themselves, in both the US & India. 

(the "i" stands for International)

Their shop promotes "purchases with a purpose" - an idea of conscious consumerism that has been heavy on my mind this season especially.

Why not give two-fold during this season of spreading love?
