(Anthropologie’s Lace Pane Top by Weston Wear, with Jeans by Paige Denim.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m in the middle of my new series<\/a> featuring Anthropologie’s American-made brands, and I first thought of the idea while shopping for myself.\u00a0 I love the store and try to find responsible pieces there, and my handwritten list of brands was growing enough to share with you.\u00a0 One of the first brands I discovered was Weston Wear<\/a>, and I wore one of their dresses<\/a> to Texas Style Council this past summer.<\/p>\n

I found the Lace Pane Top<\/a> on sale recently, and knew it would be perfect year-round.\u00a0 It’s sheer and requires a tank underneath, so I paired it with a black camisole, though it could also work well with white.\u00a0 This is one of the pieces that is listed as imported on Anthropologie’s site, but you can clearly see in their picture that it is made in San Francisco.\u00a0 My top’s label says the same.<\/p>\n

I’m also wearing the Paige Jimmy Jimmy Skinny Boyfriend Jeans<\/a> (say that three times fast!), which are also made in the United States.\u00a0 Since I live in jeans almost year-round, I decided to invest in a sturdy pair, rather than buying new ones every season.\u00a0 Jeans are always a gamble, but these work really well and I’m thrilled with them!<\/p>\n

I hope these pieces will inspire you to seek out ethically made items on your next shopping trip.\u00a0 It does take a bit of detective work sometimes, but I hope I’m doing most of that for you, and it’s easy to incorporate more thoughtful items into your regular wardrobe.<\/p>\n
