You’ll notice a new widget on my sidebar. I’m so pleased to be an affiliate of Whistle River Trading Company, quality women’s apparel made in Guatemala.
This beautiful tapestry jacket is lightweight and machine washable. I fell in love with the wildflowers and it’s the perfect little jacket to add elegance to jeans. It’s a classic style and very comfortable. The quality of the fabric and workmanship is superb!
Whistle River Trading is an ethical company
“We believe in Quality. We take pride in everything we do. Starting with only the finest materials, we work with our family of skilled artisans to bring you our very best products and our very best service. Every day.”
“We believe in Integrity. We always strive to do what’s right. We honor our commitments and stand behind our products. If you’re not completely satisfied, you can easily return your order for a full refund or exchange.”
“We believe in Loyalty. To people and their families, not quarterly profit. We provide a safe and pleasant working environment, we pay competitive wages, and we believe that everyone should be treated with respect.”
We had a rainy day this weekend and things cooled off enough to wear this lightweight jacket. It will be great for layering in the fall, I’ll able to wear a sweater underneath. With autumn approaching, flowers will fade as leaves fall, but these pretty wildflowers will never wilt. And after the long cold winter, this floral jacket will be perfect for springtime!

Each of our products is crafted in our own factory in Guatemala by our team of experienced artisans, who have spent years developing and honing their skills.”

Thank you so much Jess! This will definitely be my favourite go to jacket this fall. Glad you like my choice of scarf, the colour matches perfectly some of the flowers in the jacket. Thrifting is great, with the money saved we can buy quality clothes from ethical companies. 🙂

I love the fact that it’s machine washable because dry cleaning is so expensive.

The jacket is cute and I love knowing that it belongs to a brand with a social conscience. The jacket looks great with your jeans, the look is perfect. And, by God, how beautiful you are in the photos! Your beautiful hair, your smile, all your personality overflowing in these photos, where you can see that you are happy, that you are comfortable with these clothes! The photo with the flowers in the hands is wonderful, it is pure life, it is pure Carmen!

Thank you so much Josep-Maria! That’s why I picked this jacket, specially for jeans. I’m so glad that we share the importance of ethical companies and to shop consciously. As a fashion blogger, I’m more and more aware of the influence we have and can make in the fashion industry. Fast fashion is not good for our planet. 😦

Thank you Maria! It’s a lightweight jacket but very roomy for wearing with a thick sweater, so it’s great for mild autumn days and then layered for cooler days.

Your smiles, Carmen, make me want to collect more —but also seriously—tapestry is an art form well-expressed by this article of clothing! Warm enough for late autumn, I’d surmise?

Thanks so much Jonathan, it’s a lightweight jacket, so it’s best for early autumn where I live. Autumn can get very cold here, cold enough to wear winter coats. 😦
