Will I See You in Boston?

Boston’s annual Gift Show (www.bostongiftshow.com) is taking place today (well, it started on Saturday and continues through tomorrow). I’ll be there with Karma Threads (www.karmathreads.com), doing our part to promote looking good while doing good.

By the way, Karma Threads is introducing a new line of organic cotton t-shirts and they are, like the rest of their shirts, absolutely stunning . . . and with a positive message, naturally.

Question of the blog: Will I see you there?

Where Are All The Hip Organic Cotton Tees?

This morning, I set about to buy an organic cotton t-shirt. I powered up my laptop, went to Google.com, typed in “organic cotton t-shirt,” and then was utterly amazed at the lack of good options . . . and my expectations were quite simple.

I was looking for an organic cotton v-neck tee with either a funky saying or a bold design, or both. The real issue turned out to be the v-neck (since it appears that style doesn’t exist in organic cotton) although, as a rule, I wasn’t impressed with the designs either. I was also looking for a good deal--green or not, I'm not going to pay $75 for a t-shirt.

After an hour of searching, I did find a few tees I liked on http://www.imorganic.com/, having to ignore, of course, that they aren't v-necks. Their options aren’t plentiful but I like almost every design offered. I ended up buying their “Organic Love” t-shirt along with an “I’m Organic” wristband, which they claim is the world’s first 100% recycled wristband.

If you like their products as much as I do, here’s a tip: Use “whiteapricot” as a code during checkout and you’ll receive 20 percent off your order. Another tip: Visit http://www.whiteapricot.com/ for additional coupon codes for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. [By the way, I have no affiliation with either website; my contribution to green fashion can be found at http://www.ecovixen.com/.]

Question of the blog: Do you have a favorite company that sells organic cotton t-shirts? If you do, let us know. You'll get bonus points if they carry v-necks!
