I would not be able to pull these off with my thick calves, but I do love them! These cute lounge knickers by Nixxi are made from soy & organic cotton, or you can choose bamboo & organic cotton. They’re available at Planet Threads, where you can save 20% using code “stylehouse” through 6/15.
Hemp as an eco-friendly fiber is overlooked in most eco-fashion circles (including mine), but lately I’m searching for, and finding more and more interesting and wearable pieces made entirely or partly from hemp. (see today’s Must-Have for a bit of info on hemp, and also 5 Ways to add Hemp to your Life for more) I posted this Synergy Organics skirt as a Must-Have a few weeks ago, and was pleased to be contacted by one of the designers who sent me one to review!
I got this skirt last Friday and wore it all weekend – out to lunch on Saturday, then over to my mom’s for dinner, and again for a leisurely walk with the dog on Sunday. I think it worked equally well in all situations; it fits very well (even with my hips), moves easily, and hits right at the knee on me (I’m about 5’4″). You’re never going to be able to really dress this skirt up, but with heels and a button-up blouse it would make a cute Sunday morning brunch outfit, then with a tee-shirt and sandals it’s perfect for dog-walking.
This is my first item of clothing made with hemp (55% hemp and 45% organic cotton) and you can definitely “feel” the hemp. It’s not scratchy at all, but there is a texture and weight there that the hemp adds which makes it feel different – not as heavy as bamboo and not as light as a cotton jersey (or as soft). The combination allows it to hang well; it doesn’t hug my body at all and makes a perfect a-line. And it’s fairly opaque so you don’t NEED to wear a slip with it, but I always do (call me old-fashioned) when I’m “out” – a body shaping slip – because I don’t feel right without one!
Overall, I really love this skirt, not only that it’s made in Nepal under fair trade guidelines, and uses low-impact dyes, but the price is really great ($49) and the fit, perfect. Available at Planet Threads.
This skirt is so freakin’ CUTE!!! I love the color (although it would look awful with my pasty white legs), the shape, and the awesome birdies & cloud, but the price is what sells it: $49. Available at Planet Threads, this skirt by Synergy Organics is made from 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton – I’m loving finding more fashion made with hemp!
