Laloo organic fashion by Rashida Jones
Rashida Jones, celebtastic daughter of Quincy Jones/actress extraordinnaire, like so many celebrities these days, has her own clothing line. What sets her apart from other starlets, is that her clothing line, Laloo is organic.Like many other designer fashion lines, you could probably similar looks for knock off prices at Old Navy or Target. But, since Rashida's line is made from the highest quality, softest organic cotton available, it might be worth the extra cash.
The clothes are very similar to Rashida's day to day style -- they're laid back, casual and comfortable looking. Nothing is terribly extravagant, but I like that if you buy a dress like the Tank Dress from Laloo it's not going to go out of style anytime soon. You could be wearing it for years to come and while it's not cutting edge fashion, it's definitely timeless.
I probably won't be shelling out $55 for a tank top anytime soon, but I might put one of the $80 dollar dresses on my wish list. They're simple but cute, and under a hundred bucks doesn't seem too unreasonable.

If you are going to choose between two products, then the organic one is likely to be the better choice.
Consumerism is NEVER the better choice for the environment. What we have now are people thinking that it is ok to blow tons of money on organic this and eco that -- straight into debt. Wear what you have. Buy less, and when you buy, buy quality.
I wonder, at an alarming frequency, whether this whole green thing is going to do us any good. If everyone were to quit buying crap, then the world would instantly get back onto the right path. On the other hand, the more garbage we amass the worse off we are.

Ryan, while I totally agree that it would be better if people would quit buying crap, that odds of that happening are slim to none, while the odds of people possibly switching to buying organic sustainable products are MUCH higher. It might not be the best choice, but it's definitely a better choice.

kyle: Good point. Defeating the consumer mindset is a rather large dilemma. I was able to do it, but even I can't convince my own wife. People just have to change their thinking on their own.
In the meantime, I just got a new sales job, so I will have to bolster my wardrobe. Not a whole lotta choice here in Japan, so I will have to wait until I am sent back to America (regrettable that I have to make such a long trip by plane, and only for a week) to stock up on suits and such. I would be content wearing the same suit every day of the week, but I have a feeling that that wouldn't jive with my company.
Damned if you do damned if you don't.
