What I Wore Wednesday

by Emily Betzler May 08, 2013

Ummmm, can you say AWKWARD? I can. Sorry these pictures are a little awkward, this is not my thing. BUT I figured what an awesome way to share the blog and more importantly some great products that are making positive impacts! (Just a word of warning to my friends - I might start chasing you down on Wednesdays to take your picture instead of mine!)

Cute outfit featuring Noonday & AfricanSoles

Anyway, here is a shot of what I wore today. Pretty cute, huh? BUT what really sets this outfit apart are two things:

The necklace from Noonday Collection and The Shoes from AfricanSoles.

What makes these two items so spectacular is that what I know about them. I know a little about the person who created them and the working conditions that they were created in and, even more exciting, is knowing that by purchasing these items I'm supporting two great organizations and two beautiful women! And that is something really special and makes me love these items even more! So let me show you a little more about these products. The necklace, Mediterranean Sea Necklace from Noonday Collection, made by Prem:

And my lovely sandals are called, Florentine's Wish, and were made by...Florentine, of course! She lives in Uganda, is single mother of 5 kids, and her wish is to buy a sewing machine and own a tailoring shop someday! YAY, for Florentine, I am hoping and praying your wish comes true. You make wonderful sandals and I am sure you will make an amazing tailor! If you want to read more about these sandals and AfricanSoles read this post.
