Let's celebrate Earth Month by thinking secondhand first. This video is in partnership with Poshmark Canada - an amazing place to find secondhand fashion, from vintage gems and high quality brands, to your next upcycling project.

Update: It's been very interesting to read everyone's comments - thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! Overall though the feedback seems to further emphasize how subjective color analysis can be.

It's a fairly small space so I wanted to keep it light and airy.
Some ways we kept this bathroom renovation more eco-friendly (and more affordable) were by: - Incorporating secondhand items - Using leftover (deadstock) tile - Painting with no-VOC paint - Using natural materials like wood where possible - Installing a water-saving toilet - Cleaning and re-caulking the bathtub instead of replacing it (while the design fells a little dated it's overall fine and in good shape so we made it work!)

BUT just because it's casual and comfortable doesn't mean it can't also be cute and I love these joggers for some subtle color which adds more interest to a simple outfit.
