If you don’t already have a pair of TOMS Shoes, now’s the time to pick up a pair (or two!). I love my navy glitter TOMS, and the kids TOMS – to die for (I’m thinking of getting these for my niece and nephew’s birthdays coming up). They’re exceptionally comfortable, get a lot of attention, and affordable. AND, the best part is that when you buy a pair TOMS gives a pair to a child in need all over the world; to date, they’ve provided shoes to at least 60,000 children.
Oh, and you can use coupon code GRECHEN for 15% off! Now, there’s no excuse 
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!
