The Joys of Shopping Local



Hey my friends!
This past weekend my church hosted an artist market for local craftsmen to come and sell their wares. It was so fun and the hubs and I went a little wild. (Ooops) We just love the fact that we were supporting people in our own community while getting gorgeous and unique artwork. Like this necklace! I bought it premade because it fits my personality so well (I love being married), but Stamped and Finch are able to customize the bar to say whatever you want! I'm pretty sure I sent at least 5 people there after my purchase, I highly recommend them.
I also got this clutch which I plan to wear at my company's holiday party this weekend. It's adorable but it also has such a great story behind it. The organization Peace of Thread employs refugee women to make beautiful one of a kind bags and helps them to start a new life. Each one even includes a card about the woman who made it and a bit of her story. I cannot express how much I love this. Doing good always feels good and when you throw in fashion, I can't get enough! And they're based literally in my backyard! Are there any organizations that inspire you? I would love to hear about it, especially during this time of year!

I would talk about my outfit but I feel like I've said enough. Just one last thing: This Old Navy dress is so cheap and comfortable! You need one. Link below!
Thanks for reading!
