That's right an entirely thrifted/indie outfit! I love that this is becoming a more common occurrence in my wardrobe. And where else should I wear this recycled/indie look but to THREAD Show Seattle?!
In case you haven't heard of it, THREADis an event put on in Seattle, LA, San Diego, and San Francisco that showcases local indie designers in art, fashion, and music. I attended the Seattle Show at the Seattle Center on October 23rd and had a fantastic time scoping out handcrafted, unique, indie clothing and jewelry.
Two of my favorites from the show were:
Sosie Designs - Sonia makes beautiful handcrafted sterling silver (and a few gold) accessories that are delicate and unique in her San Jose home. I picked out the necklace above because I'm very much a gold gal and I loved the simplicity of the piece. For only $30 I got a classic necklace that goes with EVERYTHING!
marca shoes - Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a booth selling the cutest handmade shoes I'd seen in a while. It get's better. Mother-daughter team Martha and Catherina (hence the brand name marca) design all the shoes and they are manufactured by a small team of 6 artisans in Colombia. Yes, readers, authentic shoe makers from MY COUNTRY! Not only that, but they are actually made in the town where my family is from. Can you imagine my delight? Stay tuned later this week to see which pair I chose and where you can get your own.
