Doing Good in the World Never Goes Out of Style

Chic and affordable fashion that does good in the world? Sign me up! I can’t tell you how happy and proud it makes me to be collaborating with Studio15 NYC, a boutique company based out of New York City that does good in the world with every item sold. For every item sold on their site, Studio 15 donates 5% of proceeds to Kleos Microfinance Group, a non-profit organization, whose donations go directly to women around the globe in developing countries, to support them in starting their own businesses.

This may be the highest form of girl power ever, and I can’t help but be on board.

Studio15 has so many pretty items to choose from, but if you know me, I’m honestly a sucker for skirts!

And they have so many pretty skirts!

Happy people wear yellow, and this pleated maxi skirt just screams fun! It flows with every movement. You feel like that dancing red emoji, except in yellow {cheesy smile}…

Whether you choose to dress it up or down, I promise you can’t help but have a smile on your face every time you wear it.

Find it HERE.

Next, I wanna to share this two-piece floral set is so light and breezy. It’s elegant and fun – perfect for an event, a date night, or a fun brunch with your girls. It’s just so versatile.

I know it looks like a full dress on me, but sorry, I’m shorter than I look. Imagine it on a tall woman with an exposed midriff, but it’s still cute on us shorties, so all good…

Me? I styled it my own way and put a tank underneath.

And you guys, it even has pockets!

I don’t know about you, but for me, any skirt or dress with pockets is heaven…

Not to mention all the charm that comes with it.

You can wear them as separates or as a set. I threw off the top piece and yipeee!

There is still plenty of summer to be had. Get yours HERE.

Last but not least is the skirt that first made me aware of this brand. I hadn’t researched enough about them yet so I didn’t learn about all the good this company does until I dug a little deeper. It was New York Fashion Week September 2016 and I attended a cocktail party hosted by Studio 15 & Runway Passport.

I tried on this amazing skirt, and fell in love. It sparked some extra joy in me that day, as evidence by the photo taken behind the scenes.

I still love this skirt and wear it religiously. I wear it every time I want to feel ladylike and dainty {wink!}…

I’ve been meaning to introduce you to this brand and am happy that I finally get to do that.

Studio15 is a must-have brand for women on the up and coming style scene. With a mission to give back to female entrepreneurs in developing countries, shopping is guilt-free!

Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
