Bye, Retail! Update Your Fall Style With These Etsy Items

I’ve been browsing Etsy often since finding my African print off-the-shoulder top for $20 on the platform. A few of you let me know that you also purchased some of the creations by that same artisan—Zipped and Printed. Today, I’m back with three more Etsy artists—Cristinrae, 2ChicDesigns, and UhLaLaLand—that I’ve been admiring. I’m already planning fall outfits with their creations too.

This $20 Etsy Find Looks Like a Million Bucks

I’ve been following and ‘liking’ the images posted by @ZippedandPrinted on Instagram for about a year. When I saw this off-the-shoulder top available in two stunning African prints in recent posts, however, I quickly went from online admirer to new customer. Furthermore, this fabulous etsy find is only $20, y’all!

I gravitated to the red swirl print because the color and print combination excited all of my style sensibilities. It’s red, one of the hottest hues for Fall 2016, and the print is sophisticated.

And, of course, the only thing I love more than a fabulous print is a fabulous print mixed with fabulous prints. So, to create a fun mix of prints, I wore my Loeffler Randall pebbled dot clutch and my Sophia Webster for J.Crew floral pumps with my etsy find.

I’m also wearing my Kendra Scott Perla drop earrings in gunmetal. They were from Kendra Scott’s Mirror Mirror Collection in 2015, which was a favorite of mine. As a longtime fan of the brand, and hence someone who owns many pieces, I love identifying those unique items from each collection.
