10 Eco-Pieces You Need This Fall
September 23, 2008 by grechen
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!
- 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.
- 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″)
- 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.
- 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)
- 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.
- 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
- 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.”
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
