what do you find yourself purchasing (clothing/accessories, etc.) over and over, and why?
are there certain items that you have multiples of in your closet?
what characteristics do they have?
what do those pieces mean to you? i.e., what do those items symbolize or represent to you, if anything?
do you wear these collected items, and keep them in heavy rotation, or do they just sit there, unworn?
POUTfits is the star of this installment of etsy love. she hails from asheville, north carolina, and makes all manner of cool items with recycled jersey. the results are undeniably fun: slouchy patchy-pieced tops, armwarmers, skirts, and shrugs abound in the POUTfits shop.
i love the idea of armwarmers, though i don't own any (yet!)! seems to me that they could or would be the perfect little odd colorful and texturally rich addition to an outfit, one that might not seem necessary, but that could have the potential for much usefulness. on that note, see that little pocket on the small armwarmer shown above? perfect for popping a couple bucks into whilst out on the town (in lieu of a purse, perhaps?)...smart thinking, there, POUTfits!
this episode is from a couple weeks ago, but i just now got a chance to view it, oops!: threadbanger + ruffeo hearts lil snotty (see their etsy shop here, their work is so fun) show ya how to fashion a sweet space helmet hoodie sweatshirt out of old sweatshirts. totally great!
also: i'm totally grooving on the duo's personal style...particularly those oversized glasses and asymmetrical haircuts. they are like hipsters from the future past. and that gal's earrings? so absurdly, delightfully huge...love em.
great work as always, threadbanger...
