Women (especially many women over 40) struggle when it comes to their wardrobes. Perhaps they don’t know how to align their wardrobes with their body type or lifestyle. Or, maybe the world of fashion feels like a big mystery, in general. Throw in the idea of cruelty-free dressing and they are on overwhelm big time!

What does fashion have to do with being vegan? That’s a question I hear a lot and, actually, I’m not surprised. So much focus these days has been on what vegans eat that often veganism is not being full represented or understood.
