1. try to save
2. eat organic and
3. try to reduce, reuse and recycle.
4. buy clothes made in factories that eliminates all the hard work you did in steps 1-3!

Designers Beth Blake and Melissa Akey got their start nearly ten years ago with Thread Bridal, a collection of fashion-forward bridesmaid dresses that guarantee you'll look as good as the bride. Taking a cue from their success, the girls launched Thread Social in 2006 and have been making cocktail party dresses and accessories for the likes of Maggie Gyllenhaal to Kelly Ripa.

Now, there's ReThread, the newest collection, cut from excess fabric into some of the season's most popular silhouettes. Think of it as an eco-conscious and economic way to dress your best; for example, the spring 2009 one-shoulder dress retails from $485 to $575 [yup, the one on all the runways]. ReThread's version made with pink gazaar? a "light" $185. Want more? A wool skirt with chevron stripes will set you back only $95, versus the fall 2009 taffeta one for $295. Despite the fact that ReThread collection is only available online--- and you have to wait to see what styles make the cut--- it's a great [and super un-thought-of-way] to get the most bang for your buck.
