I am on a mission – a mission to build a more sustainable wardrobe. After gaining and losing weight during two pregnancies, periods of extreme workout, and periods of sheer laziness, I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable with my body. I know what looks good, looks bad, and what items I need in my wardrobe to meet my daily needs. From now on, I want to buy items that are comfortable, fashion conscious and functional, and most importantly made with materials and by companies that are socially responsible.

This will not be an easy mission. While there are plenty of great companies out there that are making clothing out of organic or other sustainable materials, my funds for clothes are almost non-existent. I’m keeping a shopping list and will share it regularly with you on the Tread Light Living blog. Next time I need a new dress or shirt, I will refer this shopping list. Hopefully you will too.

I might have found the perfect dress – “Diane” Wrap Dress by SPUN

Every women needs one dress that they can wear from day to night. This just might be the one. It’s a classic, sophisticated version of the signature wrap dress. Pair it with sandals, boots, or even high heels, this 100% organic cotton dress is pretty much perfect for any occasion. For more functionality, you can play it safe and buy it in black. But I am done with safe and thinking RED!

SPUN, designed by Sara Seumae of Seattle, was started to show women that organic clothing doesn’t have to be a luxury, it should be a choice. “Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and sustaining our beautiful planet while allowing you to uphold your own personal style is essential”, says Seamue. I agree. I love the entire SPUN collection. The clothing is stylish, functional, and great wardrobe building pieces. You will definitely see more SPUN clothing on my shopping list.

To order the SPUN “Diane” Wrap dress or other pieces from the collection, visit Green Loop or Fashion Ethic.
