The way the sleeves on the cardigan are shorter than the sleeves on the blouse is totally something I tried because of fashion blogging. I’m not sure if it’s something I’ve actually seen on a blog or if it’s just something I knew to try because you guys will try anything, but I do know I would not have tried it before.
I was really happy with how it came out. I liked pretty much everything about this outfit. I felt like the proportions on everything were really good.
And I just love that pop of sleeve coming out of the cardigan.
These bird skull earrings are so great. They are classy and arty,but have a bit of edge to them.
So I love love love this necklace. It is perfection in my opinion.
And yet I have sold zero of them. I always find it really strange and slightly disconcerting when I really think a piece is great and it doesn’t sell at all. On the one hand it keeps the piece a one of a kind (or in this case two of a kind as I made one for a friend as a gift). On the other hand it does tend to make me doubt the design just a bit and only for the briefest periods of time. I’m sure other jewelry designs have similar things happen sometimes.
The bunny pendant was the perfect necklace shape and size for this look, but it is hollow and it banged up and down on the button on the cardigan all day long. It looked great but it drove me nuts. I think I’ll avoid the paring in the future.

I hate that button banging- happens to me all of the time with longer necklaces b/c I am short! Love the shoes, they are cute and a great color.
Sometimes it's surprising what sells and what doesn't! I always expect the unexpected.
I agree with you, the look is great. Sleave popping is a must!
everything ties up nicely together. dark colors suit you, but really everything does :o)
I concur, the pop of sleeve definitely works!
I like the outfit too :)
I absolutely love that necklace & would've bought one if it weren't bone! I think you are often ahead of the curve and it takes people a while to "catch up"... you're kind of a fashion visionary in my opinion!
XOXO
i like that look too with the shirt peeking out from underneath the cardigan! and i also love your shoes and think perhaps i need to borrow them.
I LOVE MINE THANK YOU!
I love all your necklaces equally and I couldn't give a favourite, but that one really helps break things up when there's a lower neckline and it has a lovely swing to it. Everyone else is missing out, but actually I <3 that we're the only two people IN THE WORLD who has one.
Another vote over here also for loving those shoes. I think I've commented on the shoe love before actually.
That necklace is my favorite! Though the shark vertebrae and the recycled necklace are in a tie for second favs :)
Yeah I have no idea how people sell on etsy. I made two sales in my first week and thats been all so far. I have had people looking at my items but no bites...it is disconcerning, I agree
if i let no sales inform my opinions of whether my stuff is pretty, i'd be a sad, sad girl with a conviction that i can't design. HOWEVER, i just try to chalk it up to different tastes... not everyone can have as AWESOME style as us right? heh :)
The peeking sleeves? Brilliant. If I had more florals, I'd try to copy ya.
Its suprising to me too because that is probably one of my favorite pieces. If it wasn't for my shopping ban and my trying to save money I woul dbe all over buying it. Than there would be a few of your rare piece, but it would be the only one in New York.
Sleeve peeking is a wint. You look great!
I love this! It looks really classy, but with a 21st century edge to it! I think it's really funny how when you look at an outfit, it looks so cute, but when you try it on, your like, "This is so ugly" But this looks great on you!
