The John Rocha T-Shirt is a cute top for spring.  Created by famed fashion designer John Rocha, this rendering of the cotton plant is intended to “highlight the need for an increased usage of organic cotton in the clothing industry.”  Plus, it will look adorable with any skirt.  
 
And speaking of skirts…the Truly Organic Talum Skirt is 100% organic and 100% chemical free.  It is naturally-dyed and hits just below the knee.  Plus, it lets you show off a little leg after a winter of jeans and pants.  Who could ask for a greener spring?
