First of all, I just finished the annual link cleanout of all the shops in our directory. My eyeballs are fizzing, but all the doorway pages and dead domains are cleared out for this year.

Second, we’ve got a new tag: crowdsourced. This is for all the catalogs that are composed of auctions, individuals setting up a cluster of stores under one domain, online flea markets, and more recently, audience participation. It’s right beneath Etsy Highlights.

And speaking of which, this week’s theme is separates that dip into vintage style. No viscera anywhere in sight this week.

A batty little coffin decorates a bright red wiggle skirt, which engages in a symbiotic relationship of head-turning contrast with those fishnet hose. From Zombie Kitten Originals.

Offices wouldn’t be nearly so depressing to work in if everybody dressed like this. From Annie Briggs, who has a lot more expertly clashy jackets in her shop.

Moving into a more Seventies state of mind, here we have a Stevie Nicksish skirt-or-dress confection that’s been partially concocted out of formal gown scraps. From the mother-daughter team of SewSomer.

A very wintery skirt in whirling plaid, boosted by coordinating layers. From Xiaolizi.

Rockabilly is a fashion genre that just adores a good print, such as the glimmer and smack of a busy bowling alley. From Vertigo Vintage and Retro.
