Just a quick little PSA (but I promise it's for a great cause!). If you guys spotted this outfit on Instagram, you'll probably recognize that I wore it a ton while I was traveling through Italy. I love the open shoulder peek-a-boo, the tie detail and the oxford blue color. But what I love possibly even more is the brand's mission and commitment to providing school uniforms to girls in need where gender inequality is prevalent. For every dress sold, a certain number of the proceeds go toward sourcing these uniforms, in hopes that it encourages girls to continue their education. In fact, it was found in a study done in Kenya, that by providing school uniforms to children who did not previously own one, reduced school absenteeism by 64%. I'll let that sink in. Sixy-four percent. That's incredible, isn't it?

I'll also disclose this: I partnered with Rallier NYC on an Instagram post, but I wanted to share and reiterate here how easy it is to help such a big and oftentimes, overwhelming problem. One where it's easy to feel like you can't make a difference -- that the problem is much too big for you -- but it doesn't have to be that way. I was given this particular dress for the sake of my Instagram post, but I've already purchases several others (like this guy and this guy). And currently considering this dress for layering in the fall.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
