Not too many people know this(?), but I was supposed to be a summer baby. Apparently, I was just too excited to get a move on with starting life, so I was instead born at 30 weeks. Given my adoration for sunny skies and warm weather, summer has always been my favorite season.
…but given the amount of time I’ve spent living on the east coast, fall has become a very close second. (Summers on this end of the country are super humid! x_x I love fall foods (check out my “Fall Flavors” post for Foodie Friday if you haven’t already!), and an extra plus = sustainable fall fashion!
Sustainable Fall Fashion with prAna
I was sent the Ariel Dress in Sangria Taos and the Jenna Pant in Sahara Sand. They fit true to size, which is definitely a relief when you’re shopping for clothes online! <3 (I have a 15% discount for you at the bottom! :D )
I’ve talked before about prAna and how much I love their passion for sustainable living…this definitely hasn’t changed (thankfully!)!
prAna‘s bluesign clothing ensures that both the environment and the people creating/wearing their products are protected. They trace where the material comes from, eliminate wood fibors from endangered forest regions, avoid using unnecessary packaging. I like that I don’t have to cut through a bunch of bags and tags to get to the clothing, and yay for less waste!
The Ariel Dress is made of a recycled polyester blend lightweight performance stretch jersey with wicking. I typically shy away from empire waisted clothing because I feel like it runs the risk of making me look preggers (something I never want to be), but I really like how this is tapered for a flattering fit! When it cools down a bit more, I can just wear it with a cardigan + leggings and I’ll be all set! :]
Buying clothing made from recycled materials helps to reduce your carbon footprint–less energy and water is used to create them + yay for less greenhouse gas emissions!
Like the Ariel Dress, the Jenna Pants are super effing comfortable–so much so that I actually decided to wear them over yoga pants. (To me, this is a really big deal because, if you didn’t know, I’d totally live in yoga pants if it were socially acceptable.)
The fact that it has functional pockets definitely doesn’t hurt either! *-* One major gripe I have about girl-pants is that the pockets are essentially useless. I get that they do this because they’re trying to make us buy purses, but I hate carrying bags around. (This is probably how I lost my wallet 2 months ago. ._. It has since been found though, but if I’d had pockets that actually worked like with these pants, it wouldn’t have been an issue!)
I chose “Sahara Sand” since I don’t have anything in that color, but they also come in Cargo Green, Coal, and Black! (I want one in every color. >_>)

These are so flattering! But maybe it’s the model :)
Ah I hate purses too! I too am known to carry my wallet around or slip my credit card and drivers’ license into my (useless girl-) pockets.

Useless girl pockets make me so sad. :[ That really needs to change!

Love the dress and it’s a great piece to transition into fall with. The Prana line is the best ever this fall

Love the dress! I have to admit, it makes me feel happy that it’s longer on you, too. Haha! I was looking at the model and I was like, “uh… my dress is much longer than hers!” But it looks so good on you so that makes me happy!

haha, I thought the same thing when I first got it! It works out though–now I can wear it to work with no issues! :P

That dress looks amazing on you!! I love fall time for fashion, because it requires ALL the layers – chilly in the morning, warm during the day, and much cooler in the evening. So much fun!

I truly think that prAna pants are my favorite. I’m slim hipped and they fit me very well. You look great in that dress!

The top and pants are so cute and great for dressing up or down and layering for fall. Great clothes with a great company behind it, I really need to get back in there and check out their new stuff.
Agreed! I’m trying to figure out what I most want from there! :P

Definitely agreed! It recently cooled down, so I guess fall’s possibly finally decided to arrive!
Ahh! Loving that dress. I’m getting ready to try on some prAna things I just got too! They make such fabulous clothes and are such a great company.

Agreed! :D I’m trying to decide what else I want from them! *-*
I LOVE all things Prana and feel good buying their clothes because of their commitment to sustainability! I’m definitely buying the Ariel Dress… I just love it!!!
Yay! I bet you’ll love it as much as I do! :D It’s so comfortable!

Thank you! :]!
I’ve never worn PrAna but I finally got to visit one of their stores and it blew my mind. For a person who lives in spandex, I want to purchase everything in the store. I love this dress and pants on you. I have nothing in my closet made from recycled materials. I’m going to have to change that soon. have a great day Farrah :)
Mary recently posted…Challenge Monday
Aww, thanks so much, Mary! I’ve never had a chance to visit one of their stores, but I suspect I’d have the very same reaction, hahaha. I love their clothes! <3
I’ve decided I’m totally done with skinny jeans/pants. BUT if they’re as comfortable as yoga pants I might have to reconsider…
Hannah recently posted…Learning the obvious: week in review
It’s hard to beat yoga pants, but if you’re looking for comfort while looking more pulled together whilst not sacrificing comfort, these are the perfect choice!

The pictures are not showing up from me, but I can imagine they are so cute. I love everything prAna!
That dress is so darn cute on you! I might have to get it!
Hi Farrah, this is such a nice dress. I also like the fall season. The dress which you suggested in your blog is perfect outfit for this type of season. I am very excited to fall in fashion with prana.
