Because I am hard to fit, and don’t have alot of money it has to be style.
The randy goat hoodie is my favorite spring item. debp

I like the Motil Ped.
Substance- these days there are lots of eco friendly clothing companies out there with cute clothes so I feel like there is no excuse.
I like the glimpse dress- built in shelf bra = awesome. I think it would be good to travel in and great for around town.

Style wins out here – don’t like to spend too much time shopping.
I like their randy goat hoody – looks stylish to me.
Most stuff that isn’t eco friendly, I don’t find comfortable usually. I like cotton, so I tend to only buy that anyway. I like the m2 Scoop Stripe l/s shirt also.
I try to go with Substance but the Style has to be right as well. I really like the profile fleece hoody in blue.
1. style is more important but substance is right up there
2. My favorite piece from the spring line is the m1 short sleeve henley.

Because I have severe chemical sensitivities, style vs. substance is no longer a choice; substance is now a necessity to me. But that doesn’t mean I have no sense of taste: my favorite item on Nau’s website is the chrysalis dress. Of course! It’s versatile, stylish, and super sexy!! http://www.nau.com/womens/categories/dresses/chrysalis-dress-606W02.html
I’d love to have the fluent traveler bag , substance is more important to me
I love the Dual Citizen Hoodie in metal. Absolutely great1
I love to be in style!

I’m going to go with style, I also love the shroud of purrin skirt, thanks!
style is more important, as i have no substance
love their men’s randy goat hoody
I try to consider substance over style. I’ve found that most of the time I can find more eco-friendly versions of products I like by doing a little searching. I love the glimpse dress.

1. Yes, I would take the time to find an eco-friendly garmet. However, I’m tall and lanky and sometimes have a difficult time finding clothes that fit. Also, many times I cannot afford the eco friendly garmet.
2. I love the courier skirt! So cute and adaptable.

Substance is more important to me; I spend extra time looking for eco-friendly clothing. I like the m2 long-sleeve scoop shirt from nau. Wish I could afford it!
I love the Shroud of Purrin skirt. Thanks.
Ooops….I forgot to respond to question #1. I like to wear eco friendly items, but probably wouldn’t go to a lot of trouble to look for an alternative to a product I saw and loved. Thanks.
Subscribed to your feed. Thanks.
1) Style and substance have to be balanced. I don’t “need” anything enough to have to compromise on either side. If both needs aren’t met, I don’t buy it.
2)I like the Succint Trench.
Have to go with Substance. I don’t care how great something looks, it’s not worth it if the garment falls apart or wears out quickly.
I like the Juxta V shirt.
i sure would like one the wind is terrible .
M-1 Short sleeve Henley

I like the Slim Straight Jean.
My fav item is their mens polotariat short sleeve
If the item is not eco friendly in my style then I would look for something else
