hi guys and happy Friday so today I want
to talk about another brand that I think
is really awesome this is kind of more
of a series that I'm starting to do
which is feature Friday so every now and
then on Fridays I'm going to show
different artisans or brands that I
think have really great standards
awesome pieces and I'm just such a fan
so today is Rachel Hara she just
launched her first spring collection and
I'm just really excited to feel like I
am a part of it in some small way just
by sharing it today with you guys so her
new collection has a couple of different
styles it's all linen tops and they have
a couple of different styles so it's got
still short sleeve and a long sleeve
version and a couple different colors so
today I'm going to show you the short
sleeve version in two different colors
so oatmeal and rust by the way I'm
wearing them in a small if anybody's
wanting to like compares the web size to
get so briefly I just want to talk about
her style
I like how she describes it which is
really just simplified effortless it's
very like durable so it's supposed to
stand up to anything that you need to
face in your day or do is very
functional right so you can wear these
shirts with like a skirt and that would
give one look but also you could wear it
to jeans like if you're going to take
your kids to the park you could totally
wear something like this she also talks
about self-acceptance which I just love
what you wear might not be the most
important or most fascinating thing
about you like there's so many other
things that you have to do in your day
or accomplish or you know just to be you
or to be with your family and so wearing
these shirts just kind of accommodates
that it's it's understated in other
words because it's warmer out like I
just love to wear linen in general I
like that type of types of shirts like
these they don't have to be like perfect
you know they can be a little bit
wrinkled it doesn't really matter like
it's just something that I can do
anything in so what I really love about
Rachel Hera's brand more than anything
is her standards so everything is
ethically made in LA so that's awesome
but also what's really cool is that
everything is garment dyed I didn't
understand
not fully so I did a lot of research on
like what that means and basically when
people make clothes they come in you
know large rolls of fabric that are pre
dyed and then they get cut into the
shape that they need to be you waste
about 15 to 20 percent of fabric just by
the stuff you have to cut off and you
can't reuse it so that fabric that has
been pre
used water and chemicals steam in that
process but if something's garment dyed
then you aren't dying the fabric that
you're not going to use so it's just
really cool and it cuts the cost down to
a lot so instead of paying for fabric
that you're not even going to wear
you're actually paying someone to
handcraft it and cast that vision and
pay people to hand make it so that's
really awesome I was really fascinated
by learning a little bit about that I'm
not like an expert in the clothing
business but every little bit that I
learn is just so fascinating to me so I
really want to talk a little bit more in
depth about these short sleeved shirts
so it's got like really loose-fitting
sleeves
I've been cuffing them and I really like
the look of that as well but also it's
got like this little notch neckline here
the back has this like back pleat I also
really love the buttons a lot and I have
been very compelled to wear them with my
cam pants and for all of you cam pant
fans out there just look it like I've
got these shorts here look at how the
buttons just match if you can see that
so perfectly I just love it so much so
that just creates a really good look but
I've also worn these with jeans just you
know regular jeans and they would just
look incredible so I'll leave links down
below in the description for where you
can find more of Rachel Harris
collection and then links to these two
shirts too I'll put in a description
definitely check out her bio too she
just looks amazing and I just love what
she wrote about everything explaining
more but yeah I will see you guys next
time I guess on Monday and
I really hope that you look forward to
more feature Fridays give this video a
thumbs up if you want more of them and
I'll see you next time bye
