: “在最好的情况下，时尚是表达创造力的另一个调色板。这是一件色彩协调的艺术品，你可以每天穿着它，就像用你自己创作、发现和收集的艺术品装饰你家的墙壁一样。我觉得我的衣柜里是一个我个人的历史,从破旧的扎染非但不会做的衬衫我穿睡觉since-7th品位,否则微不足道的条纹t我穿着我丈夫向我求婚的时候,彩虹的non-maternity(但方便弹性)裙子我穿在我怀孕。”

"But alas, motherhood has completely changed things. I find myself living in pocket leggings (I do have a leopard print pair, obvs), colorful athleisure, and always in sneakers or Tevas. Full outdoorsy mom mode over here, and I’ll admit it, I’m into all these comfy, stretchy, highly functional clothes just as much as my pretty patterned dresses. And I’m finally ready to consider pants, actual pants, as apart of my new wardrobe chapter." ">: "I love unusual prints and patterns, am very bad at choosing neutrals (what are those even?), and until this very shoot, I haven’t worn an actual pair of pants since flared corduroys in college. I am a dress gal all the way. I love wearing a pattern from head-to-toe, or head-to-knee as it were. I love wearing brightly colored tights, big earrings, and, of course, power clashing patterns-on-patterns as much as aesthetically possible."

"But alas, motherhood has completely changed things. I find myself living in pocket leggings (I do have a leopard print pair, obvs), colorful athleisure, and always in sneakers or Tevas. Full outdoorsy mom mode over here, and I’ll admit it, I’m into all these comfy, stretchy, highly functional clothes just as much as my pretty patterned dresses. And I’m finally ready to consider pants, actual pants, as apart of my new wardrobe chapter."

"When my oldest daughter Anokhi was born, I was worried about how I could possibly keep up the work pace I had set pre-kid. But somehow, yet further proof of the magic of child-rearing, I actually became more efficient with my time. I delegated more, I said no to superfluous projects and meetings, I said yes to opportunities that made my heart sing, and I got home in time to be totally present with my girl at the end of each day. Her existence motivated me to do better, and my youngest Indira’s entry into the world only furthered that motivation." ">: "Motherhood is entrepreneurship. You’ve gotta keep morale high, make fast decisions, realize that your own mental and physical health makes the whole team better, and improvise all the time. I think the biggest way motherhood has impacted the way I think about entrepreneurship is that whatever that thing is that pulls you away—your side hustle, your startup, your freelance career—whatever it is, it has to be worth it."

“当我最古老的女儿Anokhi出生时，我担心我如何能够跟上我在孩子前的工作步伐。但不知何故，进一步证明了儿童饲养的魔力，我实际上与我的效率变得更加高效时间。我委托了更多，我对多余的项目和会议说，我对让我的心唱歌的机会说是的，我及时回家，每天结束时都会和我的女孩一起出席。她的存在激励我to do better, and my youngest Indira’s entry into the world only furthered that motivation."

Consciously allows me to do so effortlessly, and stylishly!" ">: “去一个地方，知道所有东西都经过事先审查和策划，可以减轻网上购物的压力。我认识的很多母亲都有环保意识，但一旦你成为父母，以及随之而来的大量奇怪的化学物质和废物，环保意识就会高涨起来。突然间，我发现自己更加关心家里的每样东西是怎么做的，我女儿们穿的每一件衣服，以及我穿在自己身上的衣服。我的基因里就有支持地球母亲正确运作的小企业的基因有意识地让我毫不费力地、时髦地做这件事吧!”

Consciously made clothes quite literally feel better, so do it for self-care."">: “从小事做起。在你的生活中做一些调整，让它更好地使用布餐巾，而不是每周撕几卷纸巾。花点时间分类你的垃圾和回收箱，并陶醉于所有的组织。堆肥!要知道，你对地球的影响将直接影响到你的孩子，所以尽可能多地购买可持续的产品。有意识地做衣服确实感觉更好，所以为了自我护理而做。”

: "To me, being a conscious parent means fostering kindness towards others, and that includes the earth. Once when my daughter couldn’t sleep, I suggested she think of something that makes her happy. I asked her, what are some things that make you happy? She replied, 'trees, redwood trees, and when I hug a redwood tree I feel happy.' When she said that, it was like a mic drop. My job is done here."

: 这对我来说是一个不公平的问题，因为我正在为自己准备6个月的假期!在外面我觉得我可以深呼吸。散步在一个美丽的地方是我冥想的形式，一片树林是我的教堂。阳光和新鲜空气比什么都能给我充电。而且，在一天或一个周末读完一本书听起来就像在做梦!”

"Fashion is a complex industry in so many ways—from its colonial history to the ways it continues to exploit BIPOC communities today, it's everything but the stereotypical frivolity it's often aligned with. Yet with all the intense realities tied to the fashion industry, it also provides immense joy to so many people. There's a beauty in putting together an outfit, having intimate connections with the stories embedded in our garments, wearing them out into the world to share that creative look with others, and so much more. As someone who is enthralled with asking questions, fashion is the industry that stokes my never-ending curiosity." Kestrel wears the Bente Sweater and High Rise Pants from Consciously.">: “自从我可以走路以来，时尚和敷料一直是我的创造性的插座。我的父母讲述了关于何时会来我们家的故事，我会立即走上楼，改变我的衣服来展示给我们公司。我会做这个多个在我们访问期间的时间！“

“时尚是一个复杂的行业，在这么多方面 - 从其殖民历史到今天继续利用BIPoC社区的方式，这是一切，而是它经常与之对齐的陈规定型气欲。然而，与时尚行业的所有激烈的现实，它还为这么多人提供了巨大的快乐。在涂上衣服的故事中，有一个美丽的衣服，戴着衣服的故事，将他们戴在世界里，分享与他人的创意外观，还有更多。谁被提出的问题所吸引，时尚是引发我永无止境的好奇心的行业。“

"Since becoming a mom, my style has shifted a bit. I am still breastfeeding, so I am always thinking about access to the 'leche' when I get dressed. Also, ease of movement has become even more important to me, so I can be lifting, chasing, and playing as comfortably as possible."">: “一个朋友曾经叫我‘混合法拉利’——随着我年龄的增长，这感觉更符合我的个人风格。我喜欢色彩、印花、生动的构图和层次感。同时，我每件衣服背后的故事和外观一样重要。我有意地与我的衣服建立关系，关心它们，尊重它们，所以我在未来的岁月里会珍惜它们。对我来说，考虑有一天把传家宝服装传给我女儿是非常重要的。”

“自从当了妈妈，我的风格有点变化。我还在母乳喂养，所以我总是在想，当我穿衣服的时候，能不能得到“乳汁”。同时，动作的流畅性对我来说变得更加重要，这样我就可以尽可能舒服地举起、追逐和打球。”

"With that in mind, becoming a mom has made me rethink what 'success' looks like and how I define it. It has become less about analytics and income (while these are still obviously important), and more about the meaning behind the work I am doing. Being a mom has also reminded me to slow down in so many way—especially when it comes to finding time to be present in the moments we spend together as a family." ">: “母亲已经在我内部灌输了我所做的更深层次的意图，为什么我做了我所做的事情。我记得我怀孕的时候，我经历了一些挑战的时代，质疑我是否”适合“是一个榜样为了我很快到达女儿。我觉得我没有做到足够的钱，赚了足够的钱，达到了足够的“成功水平”，成为她的激烈的女人榜样。通过那些内部挣扎，我发现了更多的和平我的成就，也是为了实现我可以继续学习和成长。“

“考虑到这一点，成为一个妈妈让我重新思考着'成功'的样子以及我如何定义它。它已经少了解分析和收入（虽然这些仍然很重要），更多关于工作背后的意义我正在做。作为一个妈妈，也让我想起了这么多的方式减缓 - 特别是在寻找时间在我们作为一个家庭共同努力的时刻出现时。“

Consciously brings together stylish brands, already vetted for sustainability credentials, under the same roof. Shopping more consciously generally involves a lot of time and research, and since Consciously has already done that work for you, shopping their platform allows us to bring some of that joy back into the experience."">: “作为母亲，我觉得我们总是一心多用——没有办法。我得说，随之而来的是一些混乱。然而，与此同时，我认为，当我们有权利这样做的时候，我们中的许多人都想对我们要买什么做出深思熟虑的决定。有意识地将已经通过可持续性认证的时尚品牌聚集在同一屋檐下。更有意识的购物通常需要大量的时间和研究有意识地已经为你完成了这些工作，购买他们的平台可以让我们把一些乐趣带回体验中。”

: “你不可能做到完美，在可持续发展的各个层面上也没有‘正确’的路径。你很可能已经在做一些可以被认为是“可持续的”事情。你不能花钱买到可持续发展的道路——这是这个行业不幸地继续宣称的东西，但它真正开始使用，热爱，并利用你已经拥有的东西发挥创造力。当你准备好了，就从某个地方开始，并接受一条非线性的道路——拥抱你最好奇的方面，不要让压倒性的现实阻碍你采取小步骤。”

Bokashi bin and outdoor composter in action over the last year. We love going through the process of doing these steps with her."

: 这是一个绝妙的问题，我每天都在问自己。我当然还没有答案，但最近，我一直在努力把自己的时刻构建到我的一天中。有些小事情我最近试过:洗澡书,晚上一杯酒,独自运行,早上做瑜伽(威利已经与我,她喜欢练习自己的延伸,这仍然给了我一点时间呼吸)。我知道我必须更有规律地把它们纳入我的日常生活中，因为在这些时刻过后，我总是感到神清气爽，有动力成为‘妈妈’。”

: “这些年来，我与时尚的关系不断发展。作为一名台湾裔美国青少年，我在一个以白人为主的中西部社区长大，虽然现在承认这一点有点尴尬，但时尚让我觉得自己更“适应”了一些与我看起来非常不同的同龄人。在我20多岁的时候，时尚最终意味着接受我自己的身份和个人风格。随着时间的推移，这已经演变成对时尚的理解，它可以不仅仅是身体表达。时尚还可以意味着利用你的购买决定的力量来支持那些反映并放大你自身价值的设计师和企业。”

"Since becoming a mom, my style has gotten more casual, with a focus on outfits that are put-together yet practical. After breastfeeding my firstborn for 2.5 years, I’m a woman who needs to wear a bra to feel supported and comfortable, so I’m mindful about clothes that aren’t compatible with that. I now tend to gravitate towards more versatile, comfortable clothing: outfits that can take me from work meetings to my toddler’s soccer class. Lately, this looks like leggings and a hoodie with a blazer draped over it, or a simple button-down with my favorite pair of jeans." ">: "Outside of pandemic times, I would describe my personal style as timeless and straightforward, yet feminine. My go-to closet staples are a discarded button-down shirt from my husband’s side of the closet and a pair of vintage jeans that somehow still have the best fit on me after 5 years and two children. My favorite piece is a vintage YSL blazer I found at a thrift store in Boston—it has the perfect classic silhouette, and in pre-pandemic times I was throwing it over anything I wore out the door."

"When I became pregnant somewhat unexpectedly with our first child, I approached it in the same way—I read books about pregnancy, talked to my friends and relatives, researched statistics and medical information. And then when he was born, I realized that no amount of research or training could have prepared me for the place I'd found myself. Being a mother for me wasn't about knowing all the answers ahead of time—it was about constantly feeling out of my depth, learning how to operate while overwhelmed in ways I had never previously experienced, and ending up with something better than I could have ever predicted." "In many ways I now think of entrepreneurship in a similar light: it’s not about waiting forever for a moment where you feel that nothing could possibly go wrong, but realizing that it is going to be imperfect, and that's where the beauty comes from."">: “在我成为母亲之前，我认为我会达到一个特定的点，我已经准备好去追求我自己的东西。我花时间在时尚行业工作，我回到商学院，我为其他企业家工作，我不断地阅读和吸收尽可能多的信息。虽然这些都很有帮助，但我认为我只是在绕着创业的概念转，我不确定自己是否真的做好了准备。”

“当我意外地怀了第一个孩子时，我以同样的方式去做——阅读有关怀孕的书，和朋友和亲戚聊天，研究统计数据和医疗信息。当他出生的时候，我意识到再多的研究和训练也无法让我为自己所处的位置做好准备。对我来说，做一个母亲并不是要提前知道所有的答案——而是要不断地感到自己跟不上节奏，学会如何在自己从未经历过的压力下工作，最终得到的东西比我预想的要好。”

“在很多方面，我现在对创业的看法与之相似:它不是永远等待一个你觉得不可能出错的时刻，而是意识到它将是不完美的，这就是美丽的来源。”

: “作为一名母亲，我喜欢在我的价值观所在的地方购物。无论是支持具有可持续发展理念的企业，还是bipo创建的企业，我们都很欣慰地知道，我们的钱正在以有望让我们的星球和社会在我的孩子们成长的过程中变得更好的方式使用。”

: “不要被吓倒!信息过剩，有时会让人不知所措，但你可以通过对日常生活、购买决定或环境选择的微小改变来取得进展。”

: "Despite spending so much more time at home with my children during the pandemic, it’s become difficult to do anything but think further and further into the future. 'It’ll be great when we can...,' 'I can’t wait until...,' etc. But I’ve been trying to be a more conscious parent by making sure I’m as mentally present as I can be for my children, and that my son’s day-to-day accomplishments and activities are highlighted just as much despite the circumstances. Yes, our society has been somewhat shaken up, and we can’t go to restaurants or his favorite train museum, but he did a really good job tracing the letter E with his crayon, so I make sure to celebrate that."

: "While I don’t have a consistent routine for just myself—especially while working from home with a newborn and a toddler—I do find moments throughout the day to enjoy some solitude. Lately, this has been working on a minor, unambitious needlepoint project after the kids are asleep and before I head to bed. I haven’t done needlepoint since I was a little kid, but I’ve found it to be a helpful activity that helps me mentally wind down from my day, while also feeling like I’m accomplishing something small apart from work."
