10 Eco-Pieces You Need This Fall

Happy Fall! This is it, the official beginning of Fall, my favorite season next to Spring. It’s finally starting to get a little cooler, and I can’t wait to pull out my sweaters and scarves. Whether you’re just starting to “green” your wardrobe, or you only need to add a few pieces, Fall is a great time to start adding some quality, environmentally-friendly pieces to your closet. (and if you’re anything like me, you’re itching to go shopping for clothes after a summer of wearing tank tops and sundressees)

Happy Shopping!

1. Grace and Cello Tencel (fabric made from the cellulose found in wood pulp) & Wool turtleneck at Nimli for $90 (take 20% off with code “grechens08″).  This is the perfect layering piece – wear it under a super-warm coat, a sweater, or under a dress for some added warmth.



2. Cri de Coeur Boots – made from distressed cotton canvas, 100% vegan.  Awesome boots for wearing with dresses, skirts and tucking jeans into.  $340 at Nimli (take 20% off with code “grechens08″)



3. Peligrosa Knits Cashmere Cardigan – dyed with low impact fiber reactive dyes and using fair and ethical labor practices. $248 at Fashion Ethic. Save 20% with code “grechen.”  Cardigans are always my go-to sweater; they’re easy to take off if I need to, and add a polished look to any outfit. You also can’t go wrong with a great pullover – this v-neck sweater by Stewart + Brown is on sale for $110 at Equita.



4. Doie Designs Organic Wool/Silk Coat. $450 from Doie Designs. Save 20% with code “grechen08.”  I love the cropped style of this wool coat, and the slight swing shape for a more flattering fit.  (The Fin trench at Equita, where you can save 20% with code “grechen20,” was a runner-up choice though! Or, if you’re into leather, check this one out by John Patrick Organic)



5. Del forte Organic Denim “Marina” trouser: on sale for $97 at Tobi. Save 20% with code “grechen20.” A dark wash, trouser style jean is perfect for a casual working environment, a night out, and the weekend; it’s the most versatile denim style in my opinion. The Juniper style, available at Equita (save 20% with code “grechen20″) is also a great work-to-casual jean.



6. Skin & Threads scarf at Beklina, made in Australia from 100% untreated merino wool. I never leave the house in cold weather without a scarf – if my neck is cold, I’m cold. I love that this one is lightweight, which makes it more useful for not-so-cold days. Buy any sale item and get 20% off you regularly-priced items with code 2sale20G at Beklina. I also like the colors and length of these Organic cotton scarves by Organic Giraffe at Shopbop




7. 73% organic cotton tights at Sodafine for $25. LOVE these. A good pair of opaque tights is hard to find, and I would venture to say that finding a good pair of organic cotton opaque tights is even harder. Today only (9/23) take 20% off with code “Grechen2day.”



8. Grace and Cello Keyhole Dress: 67% Bamboo 30% Organic Cotton 3% Spandex, $167 at Nimli. A dress is so easy to wear in the Fall – it looks great with a trench over it, or a cardigan, and perfect with some opaque tights and a pair of tall boots…Take 20% off your order with code “grechens08.” I also like this Sublet dress at BTC Elements (save 20% with code “grechen”). It’s easy to layer, and great for the weekends with tights & boots.



9. Ashley Watson Recycled Leather “Plover” bag at Nimli. It’s no secret, I’ve been in love with Ashley Watson bags for a year or so. I love the “rustic” look of the pieced-together leather, and her color selection. I would choose this brown to add a great contrast to any outfit that features darker dresses & coats. If you’d rather have vegan, check out the Japanese Paper line from Matt & Nat.



10. Organic Cotton Lounge Set by sheandme at BTC Elements. For the days when you just want to lounge around at home by the fire, with a good book. Take 20% off your order at BTC Elements with code “grechen”. (This organic cotton robe by under the canopy is also a good choice)

That’s my list…what’s on yours?
