SCARF: c/o Dottie Q
SHIRT: c/o Honeymoon Muse
DRESS: for sale in my shop here
BOOTIES: Macy's
Today I'm super excited to introduce you to a fun knit store called Dottie Q. I've been going nuts accessorizing with infinity scarves this winter, but when I found Dottie Q on Etsy I immediately had hearts in my eyes. They were so different! The braided scarves looked more like statement necklaces and I knew they'd work just as well during the summer over a jersey dress as in the winter over a peacoat.
The mastermind behind the store is Dottie, and the idea was born a few years ago when she moved to a charming 90+ year old bungalow in St. Louis, Missouri. There her creativity went into overdrive and about a year ago she discovered she had a talent for working with fibers. It was basically love at first hook when she started crocheting, and last fall and winter she made more people than she could hope for feel cozy.
What I really love about Dottie's store is that keeping her accessories eco-friendly is a high priority. She tries to use 100% organic cotton, sustainable vegan materials like hemp and bamboo, and upcycled materials as much as possible, and even mails them out in recycled envelopes!
Dottie knits everything from infinity scarves, cozy cowls, scarf necklaces, boot cuffs, fingerless gloves, tech cozies and muffs. And what's even more impressive is that she's been doing this for about a year or so and she's already made it onto the Today Show! Her scarf necklaces were featured on "Bobbie's Buzz Cold Weather Must-Haves", and you can watch that here! So if you'd like to check out her amazing store, be sure to pop over and say hello here!



And here are some other knit picks from Dottie Q- keep in mind that these come in all sorts of different colors!

I love your jumper! I have one in a similar style, which I enjoy wearing it around spring and summer time. I really like the way you styled it with the floral long sleeved top and crocheted scarf. You look ready for next season!

ReplyDeleteThat scarf is amazing, never seen anything like it before. And I'm really head over heels on your printed floral shirt as well. That definitely caught my eye before anything else.

I'm not very keen on styling with scarfs. I think the colour and design is really pretty though, but I'm not sure If I could pull it out.

That is such a cute scarf! Like you said, it will work when the weather gets a little warmer too as a great statement piece! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice with that floral shirt as well :)
