DO YOU KNOW AN EQUIVALENT OF BONNEGUEULE FOR WOMEN?

You often ask us if there is a blog that would be equivalent to the media part of BonneGueule ! So we searched, and we came across Le Dressing Ideal, run by Anne Montecer.

Want to know more about his work? She kindly agreed to answer a few questions to present what she does:

BonneGueule: How was the idea of ​​the Ideal Dressing Room born?

Anne : I created this sustainable fashion blog a year and a half ago, following a personal experience that changed the way I dress and, above all, consume: the birth of my second baby!

With two young children and a very active life, I needed to simplify my wardrobe without sacrificing elegance. My solution to being well dressed (and above all comfortable) in all circumstances was to create my ideal wardrobe, focusing on versatile and durable pieces. I realized that my wardrobe as a former compulsive shopper corresponded neither to my lifestyle nor to my ethics, and that I always returned to safe values ​​when I lacked self-confidence, namely the basics ( jeans, shirts, blazer, etc.).

I know from experience that many women experience the same thing and need to make peace with their wardrobe. Ideal Dressing gives meaning to clothes and is part of an eco-responsible approach.

BonneGueule: What type of content do you offer on your site?

Anne : I share my method for creating your ideal wardrobe and “advice” articles to better choose your clothes and become a more responsible customer.

I also find beautiful, timeless pieces among ethical brands and negotiate discounts for the Dressing Ideal community.

Finally, I share my looks in photos or videos, which highlight the classics of the women's wardrobe and through which many women can project themselves. It's important that they can inspire each other. Getting dressed should remain a pleasure and a way to regain self-confidence.

BonneGueule: What is your observation about current women's fashion?

Anne : It's difficult for women who want to buy more responsibly to navigate, between the "greenwashing" of big brands, the somewhat guilty activist speeches, the lack of transparency... But there is a plethora of small, ethical creators which offer quality pieces, eco-certified and manufactured in France or Europe. The problem is that they have difficulty making themselves known.

With Le Dressing Ideal, I am trying to connect these ethical brands to women looking for transparency and quality.
