Fashion for Friday: Fair Trade

October 15, 2010
Fair Trade? Yes please.

As we said yesterday, October is Fair Trade Month! There are many great fair trade stores out there and with it being Fashion for Friday, we've only chosen clothes that were made and traded fairly. This look is very versatile as the hat and gloves can be added after work or school for the cooler evening air. Whether you are going for a dressier look or a more casual Friday evening look, you can make it happen with fair trade stores all over the world.
