Ok First of All...

I have to admit that I really did not like posting a pre-typed post that I copied and pasted from Myspace at like 10:30 last night. I like it way better when I put some thought into my post, however lately I have had some time constraints on my posts lately. However, the only lesson I've learned is that I just need to start blogging more in my off time to put into my reservoir. OK so, onto today's post...

I really really hope someone remembers who Captain Planet is. In case you don't Captain Planet is a superhero of old who was a cartoon when I was really young and I used to watch. Essentially, it was him and five other kids who all had a power (water, fire, etc.) controlled by their respective rings and when they put them together, something magical happened (I don't remember what, but I remember them doing it a lot). Anyways, what is the point of this? Well, today at my school it was Superhero Day (as part of spirit week), and this one guy in our class was Captain Planet. Which got me thinking.... eco-friendly clothing and accessories!

I love this dress. Why? Well, for obvious reasons, like the color and the pattern, but also because of this... "What to do with the overabundance of 1980’s polyester dresses? Chop them up and make sundresses out of them. Our designer, Debbie, removes ruffles, shoulder pads, tapered pointed sleeves, and gaudy cloth flowers from out-of-date dresses and creates new in-with-the-times frocks." This is the description at the website. How cool is it that they make these cute dresses out of 80s dresses! Very, that's how. I mean, the 80s really could have done without all those shoulder pads, and now we have this cute little number. $68

Well, now this dress just cracks me up. At first glance it looks so cute and pretty (which it is). But guess what it's made out of? Mumus! Muahaha, I guess that's a good thing because mumus are not exactly the epitome of fashion. I also love this dress because the website says this dress is so perfect for a picnic they can barely stand it. I concur. $140

These pants are really sexy. Period. I mean one of the many reasons (you'll hear them at the end of this post) I normally don't get eco-friendly clothes into my wardrobe is that I equate them with like ugly clothes or like burlap sacks or something. But these are anything but burlap sacks. Plus they look great with anything and could easily wear them from work to out at night. Versatility is sooo important. $78

The reason I love this shirt so much is that it looks like anything I could pull out of my closet. It's definitely a basic, and basics are great because you can wear these with anything. For instance, you could wear this shirt with the above pants and a blazer and super high heels. Suweet! $68

These little babies are super cute. Revert back to earlier blogs and recall that I am a sucker for bling. Bling also delves into the realm of shiny, which these certainly are. They are made from recycling billboards, of all things. Anyways, it's a great conversation starter piece. $16

So lastly, there are a few reasons I don not tend to buy "organic: a) Like I said before, I tend to think that organic = ugly and b) It is usually really super expensive. But you know, these aren't too bad, and you are doing something good for the environment.
