Old Navy: Jump into spring halter dress look

So I put this look together for a modest spring look. Everything in this look is from Old Navy. A budget friendly look that is versatile with other pieces in your wardrobe as well.



Linen scarf for $12.50


Fashion with a Purpose: Falling Whistles

I came across this website called Falling Whistles, a campaign to create peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was inspired by a journal written about boys who were sent to the frontline of war with nothing but a whistle.

Be a whistleblower for peace. Let your voice be heard and wear your protest.

Go on the website at www.fallingwhistles.com and buy a whistleblower necklace. Not only are they stylish, but most importantly, proceeds go to rehabilitate and advocate for war-affected children, and by wearing them, it will give you an avenue for conversation about this issue.

Whistleblower necklaces range from $30- $100 and you also receive the whistleblower journal along with it. They also sell t-shirts that are $20 each for men and women in different colors and the original Falling Whistles journal for $5. All proceeds from purchases are used to expand the Falling Whistles campaign.

I always found it interesting to see how fashion can be bridged with humanitarian work, so I will occasionally be posting up "Fashion with a Purpose" to shed light on ways in which one can be fashion savvy while helping humanity and the world at the same time! What better way to be fashion forward?

Here are a few products they have on their site:
