Vi hann med en båtttur i söndags också. Jag tog till och med ett dopp i sjön! (Är normalt sett lite av en badkruka.) Älskar saronger eftersom man kan knyta dem som klänning (och dressa lite med ett skärp), men ändå använda dem som handduk när man varit i sjön. Denna batiksarong kommer från Kanarieöarna och har varit med både här och där genom åren.

TRANSLATION:
We squeezed in a boat ride on the lake this Sunday as well. I even took a swim off the boat! (I’m normally a bit of a land crab.) I love sarongs since you can tie them like a dress (and style it with a belt), but also use them as a towel when you’ve been in the water. This tie dye sarong comes from the Canary Islands and has been all kinds of places with me over the years.

TRANSLATION:
I really love the tie dye trend this summer, but why not combine batik with ethics? This pretty dress comes from Julia Smith Made in Africa. Julia works with skilled batik printers in Ghana who formed cooperatives offering jobs for disadvantaged adults in the suburbs of Accra, Ghana’s capital city. Profits help sponsor school for children who otherwise would not have access to an education. A pretty dress for you, a chance at a decent life for a child in West Africa — not a bad deal. You can get it on sale here right now.
