For this episode of Sustainably LB, I got to quite literally share space with Kelli Bello, Owner and Curator of Spearmint Vintage. Now, if you listened to the podcast last week, you might remember that I broke my interview with Kelli into two parts, this episode is that second part. And while both episodes are lovely as stand alone pieces, Kelli’s origin story in the first episode is a nice foundation for this second episode. Because in this installment we talk about being inspired by our peers and creating the change you’d like to see by leveraging your community and connections. It truly takes a village and we often forget that inspiration isn’t as far away as we might think it is.

I hope you enjoy volume two of my interview with Kelli as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

Show Notes:

• Drag culture in fashion
• Exploring where you’re planted
• You don't have to look far to find inspiration
• Taking a step back when the industry gets heavy
• Fashion industry is not superficial

Just because you might not never sit under the shade of the tree doesn't mean you don't plant the tree.
