Threads for Thought Tee's

2009-06-15T16:10:00.000-07:00

Since I'm a casual dresser, I LOVE to find the perfect tee for summer. Threads For Thought makes just about the perfect tee for me. The length is long, the fabric is light and the colors and patterns are fun. What more could you really ask for? Nordstroms has just started to carry this brand and you can also find it online.

As an added bonus, all of their products are certified in fair trade environments using organic and recycled fibers. By using organic cotton rather than conventional cotton, they are able to reduce the toxicity of each garment by more than 90%. Now that is worth wearing.

Now...I don't know about you, but I don't think I could honor the exes with a gloss, but it is a fun concept.

The Spring Collection is titled, "Everything Love Inspires" and includes Fantasies, Dreams and Bliss.
