My recent rabbit hole I've been going down is on the toxicity in the clothing we wear.
The fashion industry is a heading toward to being a multi-trillion dollar industry and most of this is fast fashion. Clothing made with synthetic fibers that sadly end up in landfills and cannot be broken down so easily. Did you know Burberry burned over $30 million worth of goods that were unsellable?
Immediately, I started digging through my closet for all things containing polyester, rayon, and all fibers synthetic and my closet dwindled to a few key but worthy pieces. Going forward, I pledged to only buy organic cotton, wool, and linen for my family. It's really eye opening once you see how many pieces of clothing contain these toxic threads.
Also, I found this to be extremely fascinating scrolling on the FB one day. Unfortunately, the original poster is unknown. This resonated with me because I know in my past studies there is a certain frequency in the foods we eat; the oils we wear, and how can it not be for our clothing as well.
“ In 2003 a Jewish doctor named Heidi Yellen conducted a study on the frequencies of fabric.
According to this study, the human body has a signature frequency of 100, and organic cotton is also the same. The study showed that if the number is lower than 100, it actually puts a strain on the body. A diseased, nearly dead person has a frequency of about 15, and that is where polyester, rayon, and silk register. Nonorganic cotton registers a signature frequency of about 70.
If the fabric has a higher frequency, it gives energy to the body. This is where linen comes in as a super-fabric. Its frequency is 5,000. Wool is also 5,000, but when mixed together with linen, the frequencies cancel each other out and fall to zero.
Even wearing a wool sweater on top of a linen outfit in a study collapsed the electrical field. The reason for this could be that the energy field of wool flows from left to right, while that of linen flows in the opposite direction, from right to left.” original author unknown
With all of this being said, I knew I needed to make changes to my wardrobe and toss out all the poly, rayon, and such. Since learning all of this,
Here are a few brands that I’m eyeing and currently wearing.
One Quince- I absolutely love everything I got off of this site including a gorgeous Bordeaux colored leather motorcycle jacket for $150!! Their clothing is wonderfully made and the prices are worth what you pay for. This site will be part of my staple.
Cuyana- I love that this company is all about mimimal but quality clothing that is sourced sustainably. The dresses are so soft and perfect for pregnancy and beyond.
Myra Penezola- I drool over her collection! Her dresses make me want to be barefoot in Bali with the light linen and organic cotton dresses. Her line is made in limited quantities so it makes the clothing feel more exclusive and her fabrics are chosen with the intention to heal.
Pact- Great basics and maternity options. All clothing is organic and made sustainably. Look out for their 20% discount code off your firsr order.
Jenni Kayne- Think a cozy cashmere sweater, a great pair of jeans, and some pointy flats. This is what this brand is all about! Simple, sustainable, and chic.
Also, I know many who love thrifting . The clothing decades ago wasn't as toxic and you can find great options that wont break the bank.
I'm hoping after you read this, you're even more of a consicous consumer and only support clothing companies that care about your health and earth.
