Trashion Outfitters - An Outfit for Fall!

Has it cooled off where you are? It is October, and in the northern hemisphere that means we start thinking about fall, even when the temperatures still feel like summer. Cooler temperatures have finally reached Memphis (and hopefully wherever you are), so I'm beginning to think about what to wear as the seasons change. This week, tomate d' epingles is helping me out by putting together the perfect outfit to wear on a fall day!

To show we can transition trashion outfits from summer to fall, we are going to start with the Polka Dot Happiness dress by lorimarsha also featured last week:


And we are going to add this Navy With Pearls Doily scarf! Made by SweetyPrize, it will help fight off the chill in the air:


And the perfect accessories? How about this Lime Dome and Black Leather Cuff by RunzwithScissors----


and this Fireside Ring by sojourncuriosities - doesn't the name just warm you up??


Take a break from your day, sit outside and put your thoughts in a journal - especially fun with one as great as The Secret of the Loch blank journal


and take a minute to write a note to a your best friend, or your family back home with the Road Atlas Note Card Set, both by samann1121!


And don't forget the Trashion Bookmarker by NatureMadeScents so you don't loose your place in your book!



This Fleur de Lis Black Denim Bag by dismantled is perfect for carrying everything around in:



And on such a gorgeous autumn day, don't forget to take your dog for a walk - but keep it safe with anniesweatsshop's Green Polka Dot Dog Leash - and look how it coordinates with the dress!!


What a great outfit for a cool autumn day!! Thanks again tomate d' epingles for putting it together, and to all the Trashion Team Members for creating such amazing things!

Trashion Outfitters - Outfit for a Selkie

Here is this weeks Trashion Outfit, put together by Drew of fairytalefibers!! It is an outfit a Selkie might wear if she were to stumble across Etsy during her visits to shore. Don't know what a Selkie is?? Check out the Wikipedia entry on them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selkie!

A Selkie is going to need clothes to wear, so let's start with this Mermaid Shirt by Miggipyn


and pair it with this Denim and Lace Skirt by dismantled.


She may be cold after coming ashore, so she can wear this Headband Head Warmer by jen1kanobi for added warmth!


To accessorize, she can add these Jaded Memory Earrings by Trashion Mode:


And what could be more perfect than What The Nets Brought In Necklace by Soujourn Curiosities


and an Adventure Aquarium Penny Bracelet by Stars Dreams and Jewels??



Thank you Drew for an amazing outfit and a great story behind it!! I had heard of the legend before, but never knew what they were called, so I've learned something new!

Don't forget to shop the members shops and the Etsy Trashion Team store - upcycling is beautiful on us and for the Earth!

Trashion Outfitters #4 - Party!

I started with this light pink and black party dress from RunzwithScissors:


Then added these snappy pink and black shoes by CrankyPickle.


Now that I'm dressed, I needed to add a few accessories so I wandered over to ellerue for some lovely Revolving Button Earrings!

Now I'm almost ready to go, but I need a quick check of the time on my Lady Liberty Upcycled Clock by Nature Made Scents:



Since I have a few minutes, I put on my Apron that I found at amuck design

and do a quick kitchen cleanup before I wrap my Hostess Gift that was created by foundthings!


Since my date hadn't arrived yet, I got a couple of chapters read in my current book with my handy Trashion Bookmark nearby so that I can mark my place quickly. Created by Nature Made Scents and being sold in the Etsy Trashion store.


Doorbell rings and I grab my Post-Apocalyptic Scarf created by haptotrope and I'm ready to do!



Thanks to all you lovely Etsy Trashion designers for this smashing outfit.

And thank you Kae, for putting it all together. I love how she included household items with her clothing outfit, and she shopped in the team store as well as members shops. Well done!

Trashion Outfitters #2 - Back To School

Many thanks to Catherine, better known as SweetyPrize, for this week's Trashion Outfit featuring items from Etsy Trashion Team members shops!!

Back to School! Time to learn some lessons about trashion! No matter what grade you're in, you'll need to outfit yourself in all the things that make learning fun. But it doesn't have to be virgin pulp notebooks and sticky notes. Instead, you can take from this list and learn how back to school can be back to trashion - using items that escape the use of new resource and instead focus on recycled materials in their items. Check out the trashion items you can fill your bookbag with!

First start with an eco-chic book bag by HelloKnitty! Perfect size for your turn of the century novels.
You've got to kick off the school year with a fresh notebook. Here's one from NatureMadeScents!


As you drag your laptop to class make it well protected with this laptop cover by dkoss2.


Students should always have their library cards ready - and with this necklace by Miggipyn they will!


And these pins will be a big help during French class, thanks to spaceoddities!



Keep the important stuff at the ready in a clutch, otherwise your cell will drown in your bookbag! Try this one from pouch!


And you'll need something special to write a secret note on! Slip this under the desk when the Teach ain't looking. It's by HeyLady!


What a great selection for back to school. Don't forget to check out team member's shops for all your shopping needs!
