Beginning in the Summer of 2004, when I had eight weddings on the calendar, I decided there were two things that would make my life easier:

1) a party dress collection, and

2) a great evening bag. 

I quickly realized an immediately developed dress collection was a bit impractical as the cost of a party dress never seems to be less that $300 these days. So my stylish friends and I made what I now realize was an eco-friendly choice. We decided to share our party dresses. By rotating party wear, my friends and I are reducing our carbon footprint - and it's fun going "shopping" in each others' closets!

Now if only I had known about these fascinating recycled bags by Etsy seller Recycledrings, my look would have been completely eco-fashionable. Each one-of-a-kind bag is made up of recycled coin bags and hand sewn with craft balls and beads.  With their amoebic shapes and brights colors they are guaranteed to be the talk of any party.
