Eco-Outfit: Blowing in the Wind

Sometimes you've just got to be open to the way the wind blows... There is a principle from my meditation practice that I try to follow which states that it is better to meet life's ups and downs with the same even mindedness. This is a tricky principle to practice, yet, I do try to remember it (especially when things don't seem to be going my way...) and just let the wind blow the way that it will- unattached to how it makes me feel so that I move through each experience gracefully.

ECO OUTFIT: A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT

As a stylist, I am always on the lookout for pieces that make an outfit 'come together' and this top was one such piece that was utter perfection. A friend of mine's mother bought it probably 20 or 30 years ago, and its timeless style and quality construction transcend the tests of time. Ladies, go raid your mother's closets stat! I've also fallen completely in love with this dress from Tonle. Made from recycled fabric in Cambodia, using fair production practices, this midi length dress has become the essential piece in my traveling wardrobe that I never had. It packs easily and unfolds into a beach dress or a Western inspired skirt with boots and a sweater. Many thanks to Tonle for gifting me one of your fab dresses and opening up a variety of outfit ideas!

ECO OUTFIT: SWEATER WEATHER

Hi. My name is Greta, and I am a boyfriend sweater stealer. Long have I loved the boyfriend layers that lend their oversized comfort! When pulling pieces from the not yet released Aion knitwear collection, I giddily selected some of the pieces from the Men's collection, including this wild west hoodie. Paired with some knee socks and a cup of hot coco, I'm set for an enjoyable apres ski session of journaling.

ECO OUTFIT: WYOMING WOMAN

Growing up in Jackson Hole, my first job was working in a store on the town square called Wyoming Wear. We sold lots of polar fleece jackets, pants and even socks! Back then it was all about function- mainly staying warm in the sometimes harsh winters. Today, guarding against -14 is still a priority, but there are a few more fashionable items to bring form and function together. This fall was surprisingly warm and on one of the last snow-free days I layered two dresses, one jacket, knee socks and a pair of boots to express my Wyoming Woman style. It has been wonderful to play with the heritage style of this beautiful state, and to infuse some modern pieces coming from favorite designers in LA and New York to bring into focus my past and present selfs.

ECO OUTFIT: BLACK ON BLACK ON BLACK (WITH A SIDE OR PURPLE)

No matter how hard I try, I always seem to end up with quite a lot of black in my wardrobe. Maybe it is the after effects of having lived in NYC for over five years, or just what comes with the territory when you have to live out of a suitcase for more than three weeks... Either way, I stumble upon completely black ensembles and feel pretty darn good in them! Luckily, a new wardrobe investment in the form of shoes from Tokyo provided a hint of color of the purple/ maroon variety.
