Oh, hey everyone. So, in the spirit of blogging I decided to insert my own style into Eco-Fashionability For Today, in an attempt to share my personal eco-friendly style with you all to show how easy it can be. I hope I don't look like too much of a fool, but hey, that's fine by me. (P.S. Those aren't prescription glasses...more like fake, plastic frames, but they were ten dollars and I mean, come on, how could I resist?)
Here, I'm wearing my favorite Urban Renewal Sweater Shorts, which are cool and eco-friendly because they are up-cycled/re-cycled from discarded vintage pieces. Get a pair here. The top is American Apparel's Viscose Dolman Sleeve T, which is made in the USA and in a sweatshop-free facility. Fair trade is a big part of sustainability, so although it isn't organic material, it was made by workers who aren't being overworked and underpaid. American Apparel is starting to branch out into organic products though, so take a peek, here.
On my feet are my beloved TOMS Shoes. If you don't know about TOMS already, then I highly suggest learning about this phenomenal company. Every pair of shoes you buy goes to a child without shoes in a poverty-stricken, third world country. These specific shoes I have on are the Women's Botas. They are made from recycled plastic bottles and faux-shearling on the inside for warmth in these chilly winter months. AWESOME. GO TOMS!
Also, I'm sporting some of American Apparel's funky new line of toxin-free nail polish. It's cheap ($6 a bottle and $15 for 3) and eco-friendly. Doesn't get better than that.
Last but not least, I've got on all vintage and fairly-traded jewelry. The silver ring with the purple and blue stones is from a co-op I volunteered at in Costa Rica over the summer, called CASEM. It's a place close to my heart and all the products are made by local women who are inspiring and very talented. Learn more about this fantastic place at their website: http://www.casemcoop.org/.
Just a few vintage watches chillin' on my gold unicorn statue, given to me by my grandmother, who is a fabulous women herself.
There you have it, folks. Green done easy. Everything I'm wearing did not cost me a pretty penny nor did it take forever to hunt down. Like I've said in the past, it's a lot easier than you'd think to have an eco-friendly wardrobe. If you're still a little hesitant, don't worry I've got plenty more where this came from. So, stay tuned.
Until then,
Peace, Love and Sustainable Fashion To You all <3
