The Perfect Summer Kimono and Shopping for Charity

It is no secret that I love a good kimono.  I wear them at least once a week. They are so versatile! There are so many ways that you wear them and they are truly a year-round staple.  After partnering with the Charlie and Grace Boutique on a giveaway on Instagram, they were sweet enough to send me a gift as a thank you. I had no idea what they were sending me, but when I opened the package from them, inside was the perfect summer kimono.  Needless to say, I could not have been more thrilled! What’s even better is that it is available on their website, and when you make a purchase on their site, you are shopping for charity!

Let me explain! Charlie and Grace is a young online boutique. (By young I mean that it has only been around for about a year – they are in their infancy in comparison to many other e-commerce sites and online boutiques).  According to their own website, they specialize in everyday clothing for everyday women and take pride in providing quality clothing and accessories that stem from comfort. Everything that they offer is super cute and affordable, but that is not what I love most about them.  

The best part about Charlie and Grace is that with every purchase made, they donate 10% of all profits to a local animal shelter.

Excuse me? Come again…

Yes, you read that right! Every single purchase from Charlie and Grace means a donation towards food or toys or care for an animal in need! It *almost* makes me not feel guilty for buying my 27th kimono!  

And by the way, when they say that their fabrics are crazy soft, they aren’t lying!  For Instance, the kimono that they sent to me was soft to the touch and so comfortable to wear! I know that it will make the perfect summer kimono because it’s super lightweight.  I can already see myself wearing it on a boat day or a beach day! (Which I’m hoping is some time soon.. Mother Nature is really holding out on warm temps this year in Wisconsin.)

I really hope that you have the chance to check out Charlie and Grace. Everything that they offer is super cute! And if you’re really struggling to find something for yourself, order something for a friend who’s an animal lover.  Part of your purchase goes to help rescue an animal in need, after all!
