Eco OOTD ft Chic Made Consciously's Sparkle Necklace
Hello, friends! Hope your week is going swimmingly. Today I am excited to share with you the Sparkle Necklace from Chic Made Consciously — a brand that creates timeless accessories made from upcycled inner tubes. Eco fashion and fair fashion is something I just love to talk about, wear and share, so I was of course down to share this item with you. Full disclosure, Chic Made Consciously gifted this to me in exchange for some photos and a review.
This necklace is fairly made in Bali using recycled inner tubes. And, instead of mass producing products made with planned obsolescence, Chic Made Consciously spreads the message of slow fashion by offering accessories that are upcycled and designed to last. "We work in collaboration with local artisans in Bali who are the makers of each handcrafted item we sell. These items are fair trade, meaning there is no child labour, the artisans work in safe working conditions and we agree to pay the artisans the wages they set themselves." - Chic Made Consciously
Cassandra, the owner of Chic Made Consciously also says you can “add this classic piece to your everyday wardrobe. It is handmade and upcycled from tire inner tubes. Its timeless design and elegance will dress up any office attire, evening dress or simply add essence to your outfit."

The design if the Sparkle Necklace is quite timeless — you wouldn’t associate it with any particular time period, making it easy to wear for a long time because it won’t suddenly be off trend — and can easily be dressed up or down. I would 100% wear this out with my girlfriends or on a date, and would also totally wear it as a funky accessory to a live music show or new brunch spot. Something that's so important in slow and eco fashion is filling your wardrobe with items that don't age quickly and can be paired with more than one or two outfits. Because the pattern on this piece is not easily attributed to a particular time in fashion history, it can carry you through many years of trends and personal style shifts.
One of my favourite things about this necklace besides it being a totally eco fashion piece with beautiful design, is that it is SUPER light weight. In photos it almost looks heavy but it is shockingly easy to wear and is literally almost weightless. How this is possible is beyond me, but here we are! I am really prone to headaches and so having accessories that don't pull on my neck is imperative.
