betsy & iya has been around for 3 years (+) now. Sometimes when I look back I think...how in the heck did I get here??? It is true for me that when I'm climbing a tall ladder, if I look down, chances are I'll probably turn around and go back. For some reason, with this particular climb, I've just kept on going. A few rungs have wiggled and cracked here and there, shaking me up, yes, but I haven't let them stop me. I've been in crazy design mode lately. The awesome pleasure I have of working with amazing people who get things done (Will, Lupe, and Kate + other amazing folks) has afforded me the open time and space I have needed to let the ideas flow. With that plus the weather, these are the outfits I feel like wearing most days: Every morning I think...oh this could be an outfit-of-the-day day...and most mornings I end up throwing on my brown cords or slumpy jeans and think...no, this is what I need for design brain. So I figured it's only fair that I show you where I've been for the past few months. Cheating, maybe, but this is an accurate OOTD for the time being. Pants: years old J. Crew staple Shirt: Forever 21 Headband: an amazing trade from the Holiday Crafty Wonderland sale (I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the company...I will post as soon as I do) Boots: Matisse Earrings: new color vintage, betsy & iya
In addition to the new design project, The Music, we are busy editing (slash: killing) old designs and making room for new ones, like these hot new color vintage pieces:
These color super models will premiere at the Crafty Wonderland Spring show this Saturday and we'll have them available in our online shop very soon. In the meantime, we'll keep on climbing that bright ladder and hope you do the same. See ya up there. xoxo~betsy ***Song of the Moment: SpottieOttieDopaliscious, by OutKast***
