hi guys hope you're having a really good
start to your week today I wanted to
answer one question that I get asked
quite frequently you guys know hope that
I wear a lot of new solo shoes so when
people are new to new solo they're like
which ones should I try like which ones
are the most versatile and there's one
pair that I always recommend which is
the new solo Mariella mules so this is
actually how they look I love the sand
color I love that the heel is there but
it's not like too high or anything so
it's really good for like an everyday
shoe I like that when you're looking
down on them
this is how they look and they just look
really pointed and artistic and unique
and I feel like they give every outfit a
very unique taste because they have a
really like neutral beige it's actually
the color sand for me they would make me
look a little bit taller anytime I can
wear a neutral shoe and then of course
they just go with everything and I
always find a way to wear them
throughout every season I don't really
live where it's too cold too snowy too
wet or anything so that allows me to
really find ways to wear them so in the
winter I usually wear them with tights
or socks and then during the summer of
course I can wear them with shorts of
course they're really good for like fall
especially right now because of the
color the way that they go with so many
different fall looks so I've had a pair
of Mary Ella's for almost two years
that has really been intentional like
that was one of the first pairs I got
because it could go with so many new
outfits when I was completely revamping
my wardrobe trying to think about my
personal style
this was like a versatile shoe I could
wear with almost anything and so it got
a lot of use so this pair is actually a
replacement pair and a solo actually
reached out to me about talking about
their program which is replacing shoes
and using circular fashion so I wanted
to talk a little bit about that today
it's something that a lot of people have
recommended to me there's one girl that
wrote me through my DMS on Instagram
talking about how she got her whole
office to take part in this program so
she got all of these shoes donated
wrangled together and then they're sent
to new solo who partners with a
non-profit company called soles for
Souls and then they take the shoes and
they donate them to people who have like
small businesses entrepreneurs
who are like very small-scale and they
fix up the shoes and then they sell them
in their local economies
and so what that does is it eliminates
like a lot of the waste that happens and
stuff so it's cool about it is every
pair that you send to the solo they give
you a $30 off coupon toward your next
pair of shoes from them and so that's
just kind of an added perk to the whole
thing and it doesn't even have to be
just in the solo shoes and it doesn't
have to be in super awesome condition
they can accept anything from any
condition any brand anything like that
so let me kind of talk through how it
all works and the process and what needs
to happen in order to get $30 off of the
purchase this is what I did I just
packaged up my old shoes got them ready
to send off and then I went online and
all you have to do is fill out a brief
form on like who you are and your email
address and how many pairs of shoes you
plan to send off then it'll tell you the
address to send your old shoes to so you
just mail those off and then you just
wait for about a week and then they'll
give you a promo code to use for $30 off
your next and a solo purchase just keep
in mind that every pair is a $30 off
discount code but you can only use that
once per purchase so that means if you
send off two pairs
you'll get $60 off but it'll be broken
off into two different no solo purchases
so I think it's really cool because you
could wrangle up all your friends or
your co-workers and just ask them to
like collect their shoe donations and
then you could just be loaded with
discount codes for life but then another
really cool thing that is my favorite
part about all this is how you're
inspiring and enabling these
entrepreneurs in different parts of the
world and supporting their local
economies giving them the abilities to
be able to then take the shoes fix them
up and sell them like that's my favorite
part about all this I also think that's
just really cool this idea of circular
fashion and yeah so I wanted to kind of
talk about that today I was really
thankful that Nestle reached out to me
to kind of share this and it was really
fun to take part in myself for the first
time so also leave a link for you guys
up in the corner where you can see my
entire in a solo shoes collection that
was a video that I did just a few months
ago and it was
really fun to put together and I will
see you guys later bye
