fashion that makes a difference

 One of my new year’s resolutions was to either donate my time or money to a charity at least once a month, and while I haven’t been the best so far, I have donated to 4 separate charities, one of them being LOT2545. I remember when I first heard about Ugandan women making paper beads – it was probably a few years ago, and I loved the idea. I mentally added purchasing a necklace onto my to-do list, but somewhere along the line I forgot, or lost the list, etc.

About a month ago, LOT2545 contacted me about collaborating on the blog and I was thrilled. As I get older, I am realizing how important the integrity and mission of a company is to me. They sent me this gorgeous necklace, which I chose to style quite simply with jean shorts & a black t-shirt. If you would like to learn more about LOT2545, or how you can help, make sure to visit their website! You can also join them on Instagram & Facebook. I would highly recommend checking out their jewelry if you have anyone’s birthday’s coming up!

LOT2545 is offering 15% to Cassidy Lou readers – from now until July 31st, just use the code “cassidylou15” at checkout! Visit their Etsy shop here!

Thanks for reading!
