Shopping Ethically

Good news for WVU and Marshall fans! SustainU has obtained collegiate licenses for these two universities and will be selling WVU and Marshall tees in local stores this fall. Perfect timing for thousands of new college freshmen!

Also, companies and organizations can purchase blank SustainU tees and have their own logos printed on them. I’m wondering if I can’t convince the high school club I sponsor to use SustainU for their club t-shirts this coming school year.

Yesterday my sister and I went shopping in Pittsburgh as a belated birthday celebration for me. We had a wonderful day–she really spoiled me. My sister is the best shopping partner. She admittedly has a shopping problem–yesterday she bought everything from a doorknob to a fedora and a whole lot in between–and she pushes me to be more daring with my wardrobe. In my case, more daring means staying away from solid colored, especially the color blue, tops. I know, I’m wild.Yesterday at Anthropologie I found a Porridge tank that not only appealed to my style, but also to my budget. This made in the USA tank is two tops in one. It’s reversible, and the other side is even cuter than the one shown in my opinion. It’s navy with little white polka dots. Also the tie is removable. The top is pretty blousy which would be great for camouflaging anything around the midsection, but you could also cinch it in at the waist with a belt or sash. For $68 these two tops in one are almost a bargain…almost.

I’ve made the switch from Blogger to Wordpress–and lost all of my old posts in the process.  I will be rebuilding my site with links to sweatshop-free designers during the next week.
