Green Goes to the Dogs
I already have an Earth Day outfit picked out for myself (vintage jacket, organic cotton 7’s, recycled jellies from Melissa), but what about my faithful hound dog? I adopted my gorgeous cocker spaniel from a local rescue group three years ago and he loves nothing more than a day outside. But after a winter of fluffiness, I just had him shaved down in anticipation of warmer weather, but while we’re waiting for it (!) he has been a bit chilly, necessitating a fleece jacket in the morning, and sometimes a t-shirt in the afternoon.
Since Earth Day in in a couple weeks, the weather might be warm enough for him to romp au natural- or not. You never know with Spring, so I’m going to be prepared!
This doggie t-shirt is part of a whole collection of Earth Day tees at Cafe Press printed on American Apparel stock (so it’s fairly made but NOT organic).
This kimono from Sckoon is made from organic cotton and with the red/white/blue color scheme it can be worn again for the 4th of July.
These tees from Scratch are made from organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles!
