This is Meagan Kerr

Sustainable plus size fashion

Meagan, a fat Māori woman, stands in front of a yellow door in a black wall. She is wearing a brick red dress with brown marl stockings and black lace up boots.

This dress has easily been one of my most worn items this year.

Over the last couple of years I’ve been thinking a lot more about sustainability and how my love of fashion can be more sustainable. I’m a fashion lover through and through. From making my family sit through “fashion parades” whenever I got new clothes as a kid, through to sharing my style on my blog and Instagram as an adult, I’ve always loved clothes. The way I dress expresses my style, my personality, my mood… and it’s fun!

I’ve been a fashion writer and internet oversharer for more than ten years now, and after reading books like Consumed by Aja Barber and talking at length with friends online, I realised that some of the ways I’ve been talking about fashion and style are not sustainable (either for me or for the planet). Did you know that over 100 billion garments are made every year? I want to limit how much I’m contributing to that over-consumption, while still sharing what I’m passionate about. View Post

Some easy sustainable swaps for your bathroom

Over the last few years I’ve been challenging myself to be more considerate of the waste that I create (and more specifically single use plastics). I talk a lot on Instagram about remembering to take your reusable cup to get coffee, but there are other easy sustainable swaps I’ve made. Seeing as it’s Earth Day, I thought I’d share them on here. It’s good time to consider how we can be kinder to our environment. If you can think of any other easy sustainable swaps, let me know View Post

Environmentally Conscious Fashion and Beauty

Making Environmentally Conscious Fashion and Beauty Choices: New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears 17 Sundays Sage Striped Duster Cardi

It’s Earth Day today, and in the past I’ve done things like spend an evening with friends not using electricity (backyard candlelit BBQs are so much fun!), but this year I wanted to take a moment to think about how we could be making more environmentally conscious fashion and beauty choices. It might seem like a small thing, and it might seem silly to some, but the choices that you make as one person or as a family, they add up. View Post
