About StyleWise
Hi, I’m Leah. I’m an Episcopal priest, former thrift shop manager, and choral singer. I have spent the past ten years exploring ethical and sustainable fashion topics on my blog, StyleWise.
At StyleWise, we cover garment industry news, thoughtful (and often thrifty) personal style, sustainable shopping guides, social issues, and broader sustainability and ethics topics. We believe that justice issues are interconnected. You can’t buy your way to a better world. But it’s still worthwhile to think about how our consumer choices impact people and ecosystems in a globalized economy. StyleWise is celebrating 10 years in 2023!
