The older I get, the more I realise how important it is to front the causes you believe in.
These days instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve, I wear my thoughts on my chest. Over the last month, two amazing t-shirts have come into my life and I don’t want to ever take them off! I’m basically alternating them every other day. The older I get, the more I realise how important it is to front the causes you believe in. Don’t shy away from them, instead support them loud and proud and share their message be emblazoning it on a tee!
I don’t think there was one person who wasn’t left shocked and overwhelmed by the recent Grenfell tragedy. As someone who lives in Notting Hill and a stone’s throw from Grenfell Tower I was affected by it both physically and emotionally.
The Love 4 Grenfell campaign sells t-shirts which have been worn by the likes of Rita Ora, Stormzy and Cara Delevingne. All the proceeds will be given directly to the residents of the Grenfell tower disaster for them to use as they see fit. Click HERE to be taken to where you can buy one.
By buying one of these tees, not only are you funding an incredible cause, but you’re also continuing to show your support, even when it’s fallen off the news cycle. By wearing the word Grenfell emblazoned across your chest, you’re showing that it’s never forgotten.
Every woman needs to buy this “The Future Is Female” tee, which you can find HERE. It’s not only an absolute steal at £10, but I’m also loving the lightweight fabric and loose fit. I’ve already written an entire blogpost about why we should make the future more female dominated and the ways we can do it, click HERE if you missed it the first time around. However, I do want to reiterate this, absolutely every female should have an opinion on gender equality.
It is our right to be treated equally in the workplace, out on the street and in the privacy of our homes. It should not be more difficult to work in a particular sector because you are woman, it should not be frowned upon because you choose to have a career over having children and it definitely isn’t ok to objective and sexualise women in any way that makes you uncomfortable. Where are my fierce ladies at who believe this too!? Let’s work together to overcome these obstacles. This journey can only be completed if we continually and constantly support each other.
I know wearing a t-shirt in the grand scheme of things might seem trivial, but I feel wearing it across your chest, is a great way to share your views and support great causes.

Great statement t-shirts. I do agree that we should stand firm in our beliefs and try to support a great cause as much as we can.

Wearing a t-shirt to show your support is anything but trivial. I believe that every little bit counts. Love both causes. You look stylist as always beautiful.

I want that shirt!! You styled it perfectly 🙂
Both of these t-shirts are brilliant; I had no idea a Grenfell t-shirt was available for sale for the victims of the tower fire, and the message behind the second tee is, of course, spot on! 😉

The Grenfell Tower disaster affected me deeply too – even here in New Zealand – it seemed like something that would happen in a war zone not in the middle of a cosmopolitan city like London. I truly hope that lessons are learned by this terrible tragedy and people like you wearing these t-shirts is a great way to keep people accountable 🙂

I would love to wear that Grenfell shirt as well. And couldn’t agree more with you in this part “By wearing the word Grenfell emblazoned across your chest, you’re showing that it’s never forgotten.” Such a heart=wrenching tragedy.

Thank you! What are you thoughts on the tees which have a meaningful message?! xx
Thanks hun. Do you have any thoughts on the Grenfell or Feminist message?
You’re soooo right hunny! xx
Thanks doll! Any thoughts on the charity aspect of the post? xx
Thanks xx
Which one hun? The one that gives back to the victims of Grenfell or the one that raises awareness to Feminism? xx
I think that’s the case for a lot of people re. the Grenfell one and at £15 inc postage it’s such an easy way to support! xx
Thank you xx
Thanks! What are you thoughts on fashion that gives back?xx
It is beyond shocking and heartbreaking. I totally agree it is something that shouldn’t happen in London, esp the richest part of the London. xx
Thanks Luci xx
