Thoughts on Making Intentional Clothing Choices & My PACT Organic Clothing Review

4/28/2017

I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.
​
Picture
I read an article recently about the impact our clothing choices have on our world.  It was pretty eye opening.  I generally knew that some choices were better than others, but I didn't really know why. Honestly, I lived most of my life without even thinking about the environmental impact of my clothing choices.  Until recently, it didn't even cross my mind.  I read another enlightening article about how clothes are potentially polluting the food supply.  Love microfiber fleece?  We do too, but the fibers have been found to pollute water and marine life.  

Over the last year or two, I've noticed a cultural movement towards being more intentional in how we live and the choices we make.  Maybe we should be more intentional concerning our clothing choices too and the impact that those choices have on textile workers, farmers, farmland, and now even the water supply.  We should consider our overflowing closets too and make intentional choices based on what we really need and will wear again and again.   
Picture
Luckily because of companies like PACT Organic it is getting easier to find clothing that is better for both us and the planet.  PACT Organic uses organic farming practices that don't pollute the soil or water, while working with organizations that protect the well-being of people who make the clothes.

I was excited to review several pieces of PACT Organic clothing.  As you can see they sent several things to try.  The packages say super soft for a reason...the clothes really are super soft.   
Picture
I love black leggings and have worn them for years and my new PACT Organic leggings are both soft and strong.  I love that they are thicker than many of the leggings I have worn and stay comfortably in place.  No tugging to keep them up.  They are also nice and long.  I am around 5' 10" and these leggings fit perfectly in both length and size.  
Picture
My husband tried the boxer briefs.  When I asked him how he liked them, he said he loved them and that they were so soft and supportive.  This is a lot coming from him because he is really particular.  I always tell him he should be in  quality control or a food critic.  
Picture
I LOVE my new PACT Organic light weight hoodie.  First the color is the most beautiful blue stripe that goes with so many things.  Second it is so soft and cozy.  I have worn this sweatshirt many many times in the short time I have owned it.  
Picture
As I have mentioned before, I am on the tall side and often have trouble finding shirts that have long enough sleeves.  My new sweatshirt has wonderfully long sleeves, maybe because it has wrist slits for your thumbs which could come in handy if you are a runner.  I haven't used this option, but love the sleeve length and coziness.  I think my new PACT Organic hoodie might just be my favorite piece of clothing I have ever owned.  
Picture
I wasn't sure if I would get much use out of my new PACT Organic camisole since I am nursing my 7 month old son, but it actually works well as a nursing tank.  I wear a nursing tank every single day under my clothing so that my middle doesn't show when I lift my top shirt to nurse.  What I like about this tank is that it is supportive enough to stay in place, but stretches enough to make access for nursing.  The fabric is really soft, stretchy and supportive all at the same time.  It doesn't loose its shape at the end of the day like some tanks do.  I have found that if worn with jeans, it tends to ride up at the waist and I end up pulling it down throughout the day, but if worn with yoga type clothes (which I wear a lot), it stays in place.  You can see it peaking out from underneath my shirt in the pictures above.

Check out PACT Organic and see all the cozy, comfy styles available.  You can save 25% off your order with my discount code, AtHome25.  There are some really cute affordably priced casual summer dresses and adorable baby things too.  I just ordered some baby things for gifts and was impressed with the ease of ordering and how quickly my order shipped.

You've got me curious about the black leggings. I am forever searching for black leggings that have material that isn't too thin. I'll admit that I have never given any thought whatsoever about how the material from my clothing is made, where it comes from, if it's organic or not. But I definitely would like to support a company that cares about our environment!

Hi Katrina,

I really do like my PACT leggings! They are much thicker than any of my Gap leggings. I do have a pair of Lands End leggings that might be slightly thicker, but I always have to pull them up which is annoying. I don't have to pull up my PACT leggings, they stay right in place. They have a really good return policy, you'll have to check it out on their site. And don't forget, they gave my readers a 25% off discount code so if you try them, make sure and save some money.
