Chic Ensemble: The Summer Dress
The white dress/brown accents outfit is always a summer staple. Here’s how to do it eco-style.
The earrings are handmade out of cherry and maple hardwood. They are $20.00 and you can get them through Etsy. There is a matching pendant, but I hate when things are too matchy-matchy.
This cute empire-waist dress is made out of 100% organic cotton and is designed by Haibtude. You can get it in natural (pictured) and white. I chose natural, because it’s a little less fussier. But this outfit would work with either! The dress is currently on sale for $112.00 through Greenloop.
The wedge sandal from Vegan Shoes is a steal at $29.99. The faux-cork wedge and faux-leather make this shoe completely animal-free.
The $22.00 wooden cuff is another hand-made treasure from Etsy.
I went necklace-less with this ensemble, but if you do go for one, I’d pick something really long and beaded, or a cleavage grazing pendant with a surprise splash of color. You could also add some color with a fantastic head wrap!
However, I chose to brighten this look up with the bag. I believe purses should be colorful. While I’m loving the aGaiN Hobo bag that is made out of reclaimed fabrics (pictured), it runs high at $120.00. If I were on the lookout for something cheaper and just as chic, I’d check out Etsy. There is tons of unique, eco-friendly bags to choose from there.
Just remember to not overdo it or you could end up looking like a house-wife or someone who forgot to leave Woodstock.
