The Sustainable Fashionista: A fashion and style guide for women over 40 who take care of the environment

How can you be a fashionista without compromising the health of the planet? Simonetta Bonetti, the writer of the blog Yourstyleover40.com, seeks solutions to bring together two realities, often in conflict with each other, the passion for fashion that seduces through the shop windows and the environmental health compromised by the polluting textile industry. In this book, she offers food for thought for a more conscious behaviour: the first part analyzes some habits that are easy to integrate into daily tasks and go beyond the purchase of sustainable garments at notoriously higher costs to focus on shopping strategies, tips about recycling and repurposing discarded articles, alternatives in favour of pre-loved items and circular economy. In the second part, the author turns the attention to the personality of the woman over 40, whose age represents the goal of elegance and class that have refined over time. The topics range from the analysis of colour and styles to the essential outfits that flatter the body shapes, from image consulting pieces of advice to the most common mistakes to avoid; in addition, the content is contextualized with different looks for work, free time and special occasions, to create with the clothes already present in the closet, which lead every fashionista to the special place where she can have fun and unplug from the many daily responsibilities, to capture her smile looking herself in the mirror.
