GeoBo

Hey everyone!

Just like the post says, this isn't goodbye, it's more like see you later.

I know I've been on a loooooong hiatus from this account because of my recent pregnancy, but it's also been because I still have underlying self doubt and anxiety about fashion design, construction skills, and overall circularity of a garments life.

I still plan on having a fashion design business but its going to be a minute for me to figure out how to insert my values into my business.

But fear not lol. I will be starting a little side business called GeoBo Crystal Mystery Bags ( .crystal.bags ) where you order a bag and I fill it with random crystals and other trinkets! I've always wanted to open up a crystal shop and now is as a good a time to start 😁😁😁.

Thank you to everyone that has commented, liked, and shared my content through the years. I'll still be posting little updates here and there but if you would like to see some other content from me, definitely follow my crystal account.

I love you all and I can't wait to see you all again.

Peace + Love
Candace

Plant-based dye is something that I feel I haven't really touched on when it comes to garment production, besides indigo dyes.
Poisonous toxins from synthetic dyes pollute the water supply and can harm garment factory workers if exposed to the chemicals. This can lead to birth defects and death to overexposure. There are many factors that need to be considered when planning a color palette for a collection and just focusing on dyes won't solve everything that can be wrong with pollution but starting with what materials are used to make dyes can be a good first step. As well as water consumption when it comes to making dyes because that is also an issue in the fashion industry.
I am excited to learn as much as I can about plant-based dyes and their effects on people and the environment. I'm definitely lean towards nice, warm palettes.
In honor of Pride Month, I thought it would be nice to show plant-based dyes in all of the colors of the rainbow. One day, I hope to contribute more to the lgbtqia+ community and become a better ally! If you liked this post give it a double tap and a little pride flag 🏳️‍🌈!!!

Sometimes, I compare myself to other designers and creatives, not gonna lie, it makes me feel a bit down. Lately, I have been having a serious case of imposter syndrome and I haven't been able to get things done.
Recently, I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. I've stopped and taken a breath. I've stopped to remember why I wanted to be a fashion designer in the first place.
I'm trying not to compare myself to other brands and start looking to them for inspiration. I know this road to starting my sustainable brand isn't going to be easy but I look forward to all things that I'll learn and the people I'll meet!!!
