Join the club.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been writing on the world of green for going on a decade now, delving deeply into all aspects of health, wellness, and (my specialty) organic beauty. Still, I don\u2019t know, or have not taken the time to learn, much about ethical fashion. It\u2019s time to change that.<\/p>\n<p>A simple <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/lizatobs\/ethical-fashion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest <\/a>search guided me toward some people who do know their stuff on the subject of eco clothing and accessories.

Sure, when you wear clothes made of organic materials you are also avoiding these chemicals. A good thing. But there is a bigger picture we need to see here too. And that is purchasing items made with sustainable materials, that are ethically sourced , and fairly made.<\/p>\n<p>This super helpful resource from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetinytwig.com\/2013\/11\/12\/shopping-with-ethics-a-5-step-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Tiny Twig.com<\/a> covers, in 5 simple steps, getting to know the basics of shopping for sustainable fashion. She compares it to shopping for food. You are either going the traditional route (slow food) or the quick, cheap, easy (fast food). The gist: don\u2019t opt for the McDonald\u2019s of fashion.<\/p>\n<h2>For more on shopping sustainable style:<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2013\/05\/21\/how-to-four-ways-to-shop-ethical-fashion\/\">How-to: Four Ways to Shop Ethical Fashion<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2013\/04\/16\/style-is-the-ethical-fashion-search-engine\/\">Style-is: The Ethical Fashion Search Engine<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/feelgoodstyle.com\/2013\/01\/17\/what-is-ethical-fashion-a-conversation-with-ariel-azoff\/\">What is Ethical Fashion?
