The Newest Additions to the Organic Wardrobe

Say Hello to the newest additions to the organic wardrobe.... the Marina Tunic in Slate, and the Mod Hoody Tunic/Dress in Mud. These two items are from the sustainable company Earth Creations. I have already worn these items a few times each, and am loving them! They are comfortable and stylish, and can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans, capris, or alone in the case of the Mod Hoody Tunic/Dress.

The Mod Hoody is warm, and super comfortable and soft. It is made from 66% bamboo, 28% organic cotton, and  6% spandex French terry. It is currently available in 4 colors, but I have the Mud color which I love. It is just the right length for me (I am 5'9"), and falls halfway between the thigh and the knee. (It covers the bum which is the purpose when you are wearing leggings underneath!) I was only disappointed in one aspect of the design - it says on the site that you can wear the cowl down over the shoulders, but it is much to tight to do that. I wear it as a neck cowl and still like it, but I would have enjoyed the option to slouch it over the shoulders.





The Marina Tunic is really cute, and it is currently available in 4 colors. They still have 3 discontinued colors which are on sale right now for $59.50 each (including the slate color below). It looks better on than it does in the photo below! I tend to stick to a gray/black palette for clothing with splashes of color here and there. I like the drape and the fit, but the hemp/organic cotton fabric is just a bit rough. It isn't to much so that it bothers me when I wear it, but certainly not as soft as the Mod Hoody. The tunic also has a hood which I could pull up if the beach gets a little to breezy. :)




All of Earth Creation's creations are colored with natural clay dyes, so they have a bit of a natural, faded effect. Be aware that the clothing will shrink if washed with hot water or dried on hot, so washing cold or warm and line drying would be best. Most of the clothing is made in Alabama, with a very small percent of the tee shirts made in Nicaragua.
