Obstinate Pursuit: indielove

So, last Wednesday afternoon I was in Liverpool City Centre and I just happened to walk past Hobbs. Okay, if I'm honest, I engineered the walk past and had my nose so close to the window that after several minutes of clothing induced panting, I could have written my name in the steam! You'd understand if you caught glimpse of the new NW3 Collection.

Amongst the plaids, checks and tweeds - my favourite kinds of 'neutrals' - there were a few hints of mustard and I was immediately hooked by it's warmth. If ever there was someone who could benefit from a little bit of clothing induced warmth throughout the winter months, it would be me - winter weather hater that I am!

Determined to find a few indie items that could bring some sunshine to my rainy days, I started sleuthing on Etsy as soon as I got home. Here's the winter warmers that totally exceeded my expectations -

Aren't they all a little bit of sunshine for the soul? Just a couple of these little lovelies would see me through the winter months with a smile on my face - though it seems the 'diminutive' dress and I will have to remain on swooning terms only! Before I send you all off to search high and low for mustard loves of your very own, I know that several dedicated Followers of Fashion (Forward) have asked for a Fashion Forward Button - and who would I be to deny them? So, here it is -
