(Alternative Apparel’s Perfect Organic Pima Boxy T-Shirt<\/a> with Fair Indigo’s A-Line Skirt<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n

Just like with last week’s Style USA profile<\/a>, I’m pretty certain I first read about Alternative Apparel<\/a> on Leah’s blog<\/a>.\u00a0 She has really done her homework when it comes to ethical and sustainable fashion, and I trust her recommendations very much.<\/p>\n

After my May clothing challenge ended, I bought a few new items for summer, and I found this wonderfully soft and comfortable tee<\/a> at Alternative Apparel.\u00a0 I really like the modern, boxy cut and how effortless it is.\u00a0 If I pair it with jeans, I run the risk of looking too casual; but with my favorite A-line skirt from Fair Indigo<\/a>, it’s very modern and minimal, which I really love.\u00a0 As I’m letting my hair return to its natural color, I’m drawn to simpler styles and colors. This tee is perfect for summer and really goes well with a relaxed silhouette.<\/p>\n

Alternative Apparel is a company dedicated to producing goods ethically and sustainably, and though some of their products are made in other countries, they follow a strict set of guidelines<\/a> to make sure their requirements are met.\u00a0 Alternative Apparel is open about their business practices, similar to the way Everlane<\/a> is known for transparency, and I appreciate the fact that I don’t have to dig around online to find out where a product is made before I decide to buy it.<\/p>\n

There’s a summer sale going on at Alternative Apparel right now, and it’s a great time to stock up on basics.<\/p>\n
