Eco-Cheap from Head to Toe
October 9, 2008 by grechen
As a follow-up to my recent “How to be Cheap & Eco-Chic” article (and just to have a little fun), I put together an outfit made entirely up of sale items or items you can use coupon codes on. I tried to keep things as inexpensive as possible…really, I did…but I absolutely could not skimp on the bag
I love this pretty dress by Feral Childe, which is $66 at Sodafine, the TOMS wrap boots are growing on me…and they’re on sale for $76 at Greenloop, and I couldn’t help but feature an Ashley Watson handbag since Kaight is offering a 25% discount code (”fall”) now.

And for the cooler weather, you’ll need a sharp denim jacket, like this one by Anna Cohen, $92 at BTC Elements, and for accessories, a cool wood cuff ($20 with 20% off using code “grechens08″ at Nimli) and this recycled vinyl record “tree” necklace from Ecoist (save 10% off the price of $25 with code “GRECHEN10″)

The entire outfit is just a teeny bit over $500, but in my opinion, all the pieces are versatile enough you can wear them with multiple things already in your closet. A denim jacket is a must-have, as is a FABULOUS handbag that goes with everything, and when you buy the boots, TOMS will provide shoes for a child in Latin America. If you need to buy, buy “green” (from smaller boutiques and designers) and buy with coupon codes…or on sale!
