Going green is all the rage in everyday life and in fashion. Yes you recycle and do your part to use natural resources wisely but dressing authentic green? It can be expensive. If you can afford it, go for it, it's the best thing but since many of us are on a budget these days, we're looking for ways to look the in-style and green minded person we are without ending up in-debt. You can achieve the natural look with a few select accessories, minimal makeup and the right attitude.
Wood and colors that resemble wood are hot, hot, hot style wise for the upcoming warm weather. Try piling on wooden bangles with your favorite outfit or wood handles on a beautiful new straw or rattan bag. Keep a shopping tote tucked inside for purchases. You don't want to be seen with plastic these days.
Shoes are a major fashion item this season as well, try a pair of cork or wooden wedge heels -- they have a natural, tropical feel and can look quite earthy elegant when paired with the right outfit. Thin straps and delicate detailing say summer. You can carry this fashion trend over into fabrics and leathers by choosing leather belts and bags in browns and tans that resemble the rich lush tones of wood.
It's summer and the livin' is green,
