“Roses are overrated
Fast fashion is too
We found some sustainable Valentine’s Day outfits
To inspire you”
Valentine’s Day is all about love, and if there’s one thing we absolutely love here at Good On You, it’s ethics and sustainability.
So whether you’re spending the day with your crush, significant other, friends, family, or just yourself (we highly encourage a bit of self-love and self-care), we’ve got you covered.
