Fall In Love With Prana

I love fall and I am always awed by the richness of the changing colors. I also really enjoy the crisp morning of fall and the warm sunny afternoons. The fall season is the perfect weather for a light pair of pants that can transition easily from cool to balmy temperatures. Prana pants are the perfect bottoms for enjoying nature all day despite shifts in heat. My Prana joggers are breathable and easy to push up when the weather grows warmer; I also really love that the hue matches the beautiful pale leaves.

The best part you ask, Prana is committed to making clothing that has a more positive impact on lovely Mother Nature.  Prana has adopted sustainable initiatives such as avoiding toxic chemicals, using organic cotton, and creating new apparel out of recycled material. The brand also has a collection of men’s and women’s clothing that is fair trade certified. Prana is best known for their sportswear/outdoor wear but they have numerous items that could also be worn in a business casual setting.

My “kickin it joggers” are on sale through REI buy sadly my graphic tee showing my love of trees is now only available for men. However, I really love this tee and here is another great pair of fair trade certified joggers if you prefer a thicker material. Need something to keep you nice and toasty? Check out this cozy sweater!

Fun Fact: As a teenager, I would tell people the color of my hair was “autumn” because of the golden tones and the fact that it would appear darker as the days grew shorter. (Thankfully I didn’t shed my hair with the leaves.)

Affordable Fair Trade Fashion

October is Fair Trade month, making it a perfect time to dip your toe into exploring ethical clothing. Pact Apparel is a fair trade company that makes basics for men and women out of organic cotton. They sell casual bottoms, colorful tees, cute socks, cozy hoodies, and underwear. They also make comfortable and timeless dresses for ladies.  Best of all, they are very affordable with most everything on their site under $50!

Men’s Crew Neck Tee and Classic Hoodie (make sure to check out their sale section too!)

The classic Black Wrap Dress can be styled numerous ways because it is such a versatile piece. They also have a gorgeous fit and flare dress. Both dresses are only $40 each.

I am also really loving their cable sweaters and cardigans. The best part? In honor of fair trade month, shipping is free and you will also receive 20% off if you spend $100 or more using the discount code “fairtrade.”
