Fashion That Gives Back

Ever wish that you could give back, but feel like you don't have enough time? Fret no more! Nowadays, many great companies not only make adorable pieces for your closet, but give away some for people in need, too. You not only get to feel cute, you get to feel good about your purchase too! Here's some companies that care that you can check out:

1. TOMS

Whenever you buy a pair of TOMS, they give a pair away to a child in need. They're totally cute and comfy, too! They come in all styles: wedges, ballet flats, and my personal favorite: the classic slip-ons. I have bright red ones, and I wear them with everything!

2. Burt's Bees
Everyone knows Burt's Bees for their amazing eco-friendly beauty products (their chapstick is my personal favorite!), but they're also extremely committed to helping the planet! Every year, employees spend 30 office hours giving back, and some of their favorite organizations include Habitat for Humanity and KaBoo. Last year, Burt's Bees donated four hundred pairs of jeans to Habitat, who then used them to insulate new homes! To support Burt's Bees, stock up on their amazing Beeswax Lip Balm! It's infused with peppermint oil for a refreshing tingle, and is available at most drug stores.

3. Warby Parker
Like TOMS, with every purchase, Warby Parker gives a pair of glasses to someone in need. They have so many adorable frames in a ton of cute shapes and prints! They're a little more expensive, but they'll last forever and you'll feel so good about helping someone in need.

This new trend of giving back is so wonderful! It's great to see mainstream, popular companies that care and make an effort to give back. And it doesn't hurt that you get a cute new piece for your closet, too!
