ALO GIVEAWAY!!

One of my New Years resolutions is to try to do more to protect our environment. Whether it is by generating less waste or finding new ways to reuse, I think any little bit can help and I want to do more. So when I heard about ALO clothing, I was excited to combine clothing and being green into one!! ALO has created "performance clothing named for the elements that we live within: Air, Land and Ocean."

ALO uses recyclable and minimal impact materials with environmentally mindful designs and production processes. Their clothing ranges from antimicrobial and water resistance to outfits that are certified organic and others made from bamboo and recycled polyester!  If you want to see some of their items, check out this photo shoot clip here.

I have been sporting my warm up hoodie and convertible capris a lot over the holiday break and I have to say, I love them!! First, the hoodie fits perfectly for a woman's shape and there are thumb holes! Thumb holes make everything better!! The capris are so stinkin' comfortable I don't want to wear anything else! I've gotten a ton of compliments on the outfit and really can't express how comfortable it is. Before I wrote this review I wanted to make sure I washed the outfit and wore it again. I've had some trouble in the past with "green" outfits after they went through the wash but there were no issues with this ALO outfit. I washed as per directions, hung to dry and it still fits perfectly and it didn't shrink at all. Here's a picture of the outfit…I was sick as a dog so I had Andy cut my face out. 

As for sizing, I went by the ALO on line size charts and they were really accurate. I'm wearing a medium top and bottom.

So, would you like to win an outfit for yourself?? ALO is graciously offering up the hoodie pictured above to a female winner (or a similar outerwear item for a male winner). Contest is open to followers of this blog and US residents only (sorry non US peeps!)
