Girls Talk: Shop ‘Till You Get Carpel Tunnel

Apparently Michigan now has a monsoon season. It poured down rain here for almost 72 hours. The deluge ruled out any outdoor activities, and made it miserable to even leave the house since just the dash from the front door to the car (attached garage too full of junk to park in) left us soaked to the bone.

That left me with lots of time to window shop on Etsy while David watched The Incredibles for the sixhundred-million-fivehundrend-thousand-fiftysix to the nth degree time. (That’s probably not a real number. I never was good at math.)

Anyway, I think I Etsyed for too long. My neck hurts. Not sure you’re supposed use a laptop while lounging on the couch.

But I did find lots of cool stuff. I was browsing through the clothes on Etsy. There are so many beautiful, unique designs on Etsy. You’ll definitely stand out from the crowd. Best of all, a lot of the fashions on Etsy are affordable.

So I started out searching for graphic Tees. I love the look, but most of the ones I see in stores are either inappropriate for a 33 year-old mom or sport skull and cross bones. I’m not a pirate wench, and I don’t want a shirt that says Flirt on it. Think the hub might not like that.

Rainbow Swirls has some of my favorite tees. I picked up this one for the bargain price of $12. (Shipping was only $3.) All of their items are reasonably priced.

I think it will look cute layered over a long sleeve Tee when it gets chilly.

I didn’t make anymore purchases, but I did find some other things to add to my wish list.

Vigilante Labs is a little more pricey, but they have some really fun retro-inspired clothes. They will custom make many of their designs to fit you.  I really like this A-line dress. I could see wearing it with a little button down cardigan this fall.

For something a bit more subtle, I like this Jersey Hoodie from Ellania Boutique.

Now everyone can use some cute PJs to snuggle up in. My SIL has a set for sale over on her blog. Custom made to fit, complete with matching slippers.

So there’s no reason to dress like the status quo this fall, or break the bank to look good. Now go forth and be fashionable ladies.

What’s your must-have fashion item for this fall?

Talk to me girls!
