She’s fun, flirty, simple yet stylish, and she really cares about the planet. No, she’s not Barney’s latest gal pal on this week’s episode of HIMYM (“How I Met Your Mother”). She’s actually my new SPUN wrap dress.

Like all SPUN pieces, she’s made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton and colored with environmentally safe dye. And she’s versatile, which I think adds another eco-friendly (and budget friendly too!) element — it’s like a day dress and a night dress in one. Talk about making your clothes do double duty!

Last week Diane and I made our debut at the office, with high boots and a bright scarf — dresses/skirts + boots are my solution to soggy pant legs on a rainy day, and scarves are my solution to cold days.

Next time we’re out on the town, I’m planning to dress her up with a fashionable fringe metal necklace, like this upcycled piece from Brooklyn’s indie designer Fort. I tried to find a local Seattle area designer making similar pieces, but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

How ‘bout you — do you already have your own Diane? What’s your favorite way to dress her up or down?

Fashionably yours,
D.

My closet is home to many SPUN pieces, but my favorite is — hands down — my Low V-Neck tee!
Don’t get me wrong, I love all my SPUN, but a girl can’t help having a favorite, right?

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought I’d give a special shout-out to this very special part of my life, er, wardrobe.

Dearest SPUN tee, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

1) I can throw you on with jeans, heels and the right accessories and feel like one hot mama.
2) I can throw you on with pajama pants and feel like a very comfortable couch potato.
3) Your color does not fade when I wash you.
4) Your sleeves are the perfect length — they cover up the dreaded arm flab, rather than accentuate it like other traitor tees.
5) You are just the right amount of snugness — not too tight and not too loose or frumpy.
6) You are not too short, and not too long. You’re just right.
7) You are soft. Probably because you are made from 100% Certified Organic Cotton.
8) You’ve got love for Mama Earth. Unlike traditional t-shirts, you don’t require 5 ounces of pesticides for your creation.

I could go on, but I’d rather hear from you.

Which SPUN piece do you heart the most?

Leave a comment about your favorite piece, and you might just get a very special Valentine from SPUN: your very own Low V-Neck tee!

Until next time,
