So I’ll use this series to uncover all that’s green and sexy, fun, fabulous AND affordable.  Yes, I know…affordable is relative.  I mention in my new DVD  that I still haven’t found fashion forward green shoes in my size that are affordable.  I love N********M because they have lots and lots of sexy shoes in size 11 in the $100-$150 price range.  As far as I know, they’re not green…but they are cute.

And I don’t mind saying that when it comes to style, it’s cute first, green and affordable, second.

WTH?!

I’m just being honest.   You’d expect a woman who’s called “The Green Living Goddess” to be decked out in all green, all the time, right?  Would you expect her to do that if it meant that she’d be homeless and carless with neither pot nor window?  I didn’t think so.  One day I will wear eco-luxury fashions…but today, February 19th, 2010, is not that day.

So I make tradeoffs – a term I explain in my DVD  (ugh, another shameless plug; forgive me).  And since I know which fabrics are green, I can spot them at stores where the clothes are sensibly priced.  Sure, there was a time when I loved shopping for clothes at thrift stores, but it was during the 20th century.  Not a fan of antiques either;  lived in Budapest, Hungary for 18 months…hated it.  Mostly because it was antique.  (Good night, that’s one old town.)

When it comes to clothes, I’ll uncover affordable, fashion forward green stuff that doesn’t give me sticker shock .  As I find them, I’ll show you pieces that are under $100, sometimes way under.  As I’m able to make deals with stores, I’ll shoot video.  Here’s my one caveat: I will not jump through hoops to promote stores that want me to jump through hoops for the privilege of promoting them.   So in some instances, I may not name the store; I’ll just show the garment and name the fabric so you have an idea of what’s possible.

I’ll also spotlight sexy green cars, green motorcycles, green sports gear, fun and so on.

So in this series, you won’t get ‘shop at the thrift store, wear organic cotton t-shirts and eat granola’ kind of advice – although I do have an interesting take on eating meat and organics which you can see in my (free) video series – The Most Frequently Asked Questions About Going Green.  What you will get is a celebration of green affordablosity – affordability and fabulosity -- and the dish on how to be your fabulous self in a way that’s more environmentally friendly.

Aaaand I have to weave lots of green education into the fabric of my articles, but hopefully it will be so much fun, you’ll embrace it and spread the word.

And when you comment -- and I hope you will -- you have my permission to introduce wonderful new words like affordablosity.  Let’s make the comment section as edutaining as the articles!
