I’m totally wearing this today…just trying to find alternatives to the mirror selfie 😉
I have been wearing a variation of my LSJ outfit, for about a week, so I thought it was time to give my Atlelier Delphine jacket a bit of a rest. I’ve worn that all day every day – mostly at home – that I wondered if it’s getting time to wash it. I don’t think so; it’s not dirty, and I think we could probably stand to wash things way less often than we do, so I sprayed it with some fabric refresher and will keep wearing it for a while.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about fabrics, as I do, particularly after learning how harmful synthetics are to the environment even AFTER they’re manufactured/dyed/sewn, so wanted to feature more prominently this hemp tee. I’d love to buy more hemp (I have a beautiful Mociun hemp/silk blend dress in slowre!), because it’s an amazingly sustainable & environmentally friendly fabric, but it’s not always available in styles I like.
This tee though. I really love it, and have worn it quite a bit since I got it a couple months ago, but it’s very long on me, and only really suitable tucked in. The texture is sort of like a cross between linen and raw silk. It’s super soft and drapey, even before being washed and worn, and only gets better over time. I love the neckline too. I find it mildly annoying that it’s not BLACK BLACK though. That’s just a “thing” I have …
I may try a white one eventually also, and order that in a small to see if it’s less long on me. Jungmaven also makes hemp/organic cotton blend tees that are much less expensive than this one and worth a try as well.
Have you tried hemp clothing? (I know a lot of you have, and commented about it on this post) What did you think?

Jungmaven is having a 20% off sale (ends 4/23) for Earth Day this weekend 🙂 I really want to try some hemp! But the jersey tees or woven tunics?
Jersey tees are my preference 😉
I have a few Jungmaven tees and really like them so far, but their website is really frustrating for me. They have completely different shirts that will all have the same picture. I assume it’s to show color, but I want to see how fitted the different shirts are or how they drape and not having pictures of each product makes it impossible. Also their customer service can be slow to respond to issues, so I just bought most of my shirts on ebay where I can get pictures and measurements of the actual tee. My 60/40 tees are just about the softest things ever so I hope they continue to wear well!
