Indie Outfit: It’s Still Summer in Texas, folks
All over the web people are talking about fall, thinking about fall, designing fall stuff, talking about cool fronts … but I’m living in the middle of Texas, and it still gets to over 90 every day at the end of September. So this is for people whose weather isn’t thinking about cooling quite yet (or for another 2 months), or who miss summer already.
Everything today is from Lov.li – a craft marketplace that’s in my Index of Indie.
Elizabeth and Kirsten make fabulous clothes. They’ll even make stuff for you based on your measurements. How nice is that? Meanwhile, this beautiful pair is the perfect one last nod toward summer. It’s from the June/July collection of these designers. The sundress, right, is what she’s wearing under the long kimono jacket, left. They’re sold separately, and indeed would be good on their own, but together they’re really amazing.
I had kind of a hard time with jewelry, as I felt that really specific things were needed here – casual but unique, things that wouldn’t compete but were neat on their own. I eventually decided on this pair of flower earrings to go with it from Cindy of Starry Designs. And this lovely lampwork bracelet from Dusty Johnson. And you should really check out Dusty’s page and see where the jewelry is made 
Last but NOT least, this Peruvian inspired handbag is nearly too much matching (I seem to have gotten taken in by bright pinks and greens here), but I really love the bag, so … here it is! It’s a quilted, embroidered, appliqued wonder of a handbag, all based on a vintage napkin. It comes with that cute little mushroom keyfob you see. Made by Hyena in Nashville, whose work I may feature again ’cause I like her shirts, too.
