Fashion Organically

Fashion. What’s in? What’s out?

We ask ourselves these questions daily, but do we also ask the most important question; “what’s safe to wear?”

When it comes to clothing do you know what’s in your garment? Synthetics and man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylics and rayon are awash with chemicals. But you could have guessed that. Did you know that even cotton, which is a natural fiber, is grown in fields heavily drenched in pesticides and insecticides?

Every stage (except for the spinning process) of conventional garment manufacturing relies heavily on chemicals, many of which are toxic.

You can buy clothing made of the finest natural organic fibers, but if they’ve gone through this process you liver is working very hard to keep you healthy.

The good news is more manufacturers are using organic and eco-friendly processes to manufacture natural fiber organic clothing such as organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo. It's good for the environment, which means it's good for all of us.

But is it stylish? We’ll keep you posted on what’s news and highlight websites that offer eco-friendly services and programs.

Have you ever wondered why certain colors make you feel certain ways? Black has a slimming effect on the eye and is the reason a little black dress is a staple in most closets around the world. Red is alluring and sexy, while yellow is happy and youthful. Others can see how we perceive ourselves simply by observing the colors we wear. Your style can say different things to different people however, and the colors we choose if we are smart can make or break the day.

Knowing the ins and outs of a good working wardrobe is essential for everyone. Do you know what your wardrobe is saying about you? I found a great website that focuses on "Winning Colors". A color analysis can turn "feel good" items into "looking good" items. And anytime shopping is involved, I'm excited.
