Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE!

It's HERE! The Let it Shine Collection with Elegantees is HERE and shoppable……hurry before it sells out!Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE! by fashion blogger Carly of Lipgloss and CrayonsThere are approximately 20 to 30 million slaves in the world today.

How is that EVEN POSSIBLE? Let's talk about Human Trafficking.  Trafficking mainly involves exploitation.  This can come in many forms: forced prostitution, involuntary servitude and compelling victims to commit sex acts for the creation of pornography.  And before we assume this is only a third world problem…..HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM.  The FBI has reported over 15,000 cases of humans being trafficking INTO the United States each and every year.  

But the question is, what do we DO?  How can regular moms, daughters, fathers, sons, grandparents, HUMANS make a difference when an issue seems so vast?  It almost seems impossible.

This blog post is a long time coming.  If you've been following along on social media, you know that I've been a part of a HUGE project for the last few months.  My dear friend Molly and I teamed up with an amazing company……Elegantees to design our very own Let it Shine Collection (and yes, it even has kids' pieces)! Elegantees is an AMAZING company that not only makes just about the cutest tees in the world, but they provide employment, hope and encouragement to women in Nepal who have been rescued from human trafficking. 

You guys know I'm a HUGE believer in speaking with your retail dollars.  We share our priorities with how we spend our money.  And this? Just about the easiest way to give back (plus you get some adorable clothes in return).

Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE! by fashion blogger Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons// lilly dress / lydia dress //

These dresses are a little girl's dream.  No joke.  They're soft, comfortable, TWIRLY.  The Lilly has the cutest little keyhole neckline and the Lydia has POCKETS.  They come in a variety of fun colors (and I have to say, my favorite might be the grey….it's PERFECT for year round wear).  And the best part? NO tags.  

Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE! by fashion blogger Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons// lynda top / lauren dress / donna top //

The Lynda top is stunning right? That patterned fabric? It's a traditional Nepalese fabric called dhaka.  I love the peplum hem of this top, it's SUPER flattering and perfect for wearing with shorts all summer long.

The Lauren dress is named after my sister, and it comes with a detached dhaka sash.  Why is this a MUST buy? Because you can adjust the sash to be the most flattering on YOUR body type.  For my pear shape? I wore it slightly above my natural waist. 

The Donna Top is named after my mom….and let me tell you, this tunic WILL sell out. It's the perfect flattering length, and comes in a variety of stunning colors (the white is my favorite basic staple, but it also comes in a mint color I'm obsessed with).

Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE! by fashion blogger Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons// bridgid top / cassie top / abbi top //

The Bridgid Top is literally the PERFECT basic tee.  I'm not going to lie, I packed the white version up in my suitcase and took it home from our trip to Raleigh where we shot the look book.  And I've worn it about a million different ways.  It's great for warm days with a fun pair of shorts and sandals, and I've worn it to work with simple, colored jeans.

The Cassie Top is named after Lydia's godmother.  It's SUPER easy to wear multiple ways…..and that ruching? Totally flattering.  I wore mine over my hips, but it can be worn higher up on a shorter torso.

The Abbi Top is summer perfection.  Those ruffles? Aren't they fun? This shirt is cut on the narrow side, so I sized up (I normally wear a medium and this is a Large).

// beth top / anastacia top / maria top //

The Beth Top is named after my mother in law, and is the PERFECT staple wardrobe piece.  The stitching is stunning, the fit is super flattering, you'll want it in every color!

The Anastacia Top  is a fun, flattering peplum piece.  If you're loving the dhaka fabric, then this is a must buy.  It's light, airy, and perfect with summer pants.

The Maria Top is named after my grandmother, and is the perfect stylish baseball tee.   It hits the hips in a perfect, flattering way and I'll be wearing it all summer with my denim shorts. 

 Changing the World, One Adorable Tee at a Time: Our Elegantees Collection is HERE! by fashion blogger Carly of Lipgloss and Crayons// the erla dress //

If you buy one piece in the Let it Shine Collection, the Erla dress is my FAVORITE.  This dress is comfortable, flattering, has pockets, and will be something you wear year round.  I mean look at that hemline!

Are you as excited about the Let it Shine Collection with Elegantees as I am? I can't WAIT to see what you guys buy!

    These dresses and tops are supercute. And I love that you are helping a great cause. I’d get a set for me and my daughter, but the price point is a little steep for me. They are really adorable though.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀

🌴This kiddo is officially a 3rd grader and I can’t believe we are already halfway through elementary school (acknowledging that I’m that mom saying it goes too fast). Yesterday was a half day, and we had a fun little family celebration in the afternoon.⠀
⠀
🎥Robbie’s dad was in town, and the team from Netflix invited us to a personal screening of their new movie The Sea Beast (it will be on Netflix on July 8th). LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie, it’s a super fun family adventure film and loved even more that we got to see it in our VERY own movie theater (scroll to see Lydia doing cartwheels down the aisle because….why wouldn’t you if you were on your own in a movie theater?)⠀
⠀
✨Today, we’re off to our favorite place (leave your guesses in the comments) for a mini-staycation………⠀

☀️Hello summer, I missed you.⠀
