Etsy Spotlight: Mean Kitty Wear - Style With Attitude

Among many of my nicknames, Granola used to be one that was used quite often. I have always had an interest in anything that was hippie, grunge or whimsical. I did go through a dark face for a while but I have always been an earthy, tye dye girl at heart. I would love it if flower head bands and barefoot sandals could be found everywhere. However, they aren't available everywhere so when I come across a shop that features this comfortably elegant style, I feel the need to showcase!


Today's showcase is from a lovely Etsy shop by the name of Mean Kitty Wear. The shop is owned by two ladies Jani and Sherry. They create and sew belly dance wear and tribal fusion dance wear. They not only want the dancer to be stunning, but also free of restrictive clothing. They are always on the search for fun and unique fabric that will move with and enhance the body. Today I would like to show you their arm bands and gauntlets. 


These are what drew me into their shop in the first place. I love fingerless gloves and arm / leg warmers. The colors and styles of the ones offered at Mean Kitty Wear are definitely unique and are also made with the scraps of their other projects. This is a great way to not waste that beautiful fabric you see throughout their shop.


I was lucky enough to review a set of arm warmers. I chose the ones above because the colors kept drawing me in. I also have a lot of earthy colors in my wardrobe so these would go great with that or any black I have... and yes... I have quite a bit of that color. I knew I would like them before I got them but I really love them now that they are here :) These were done with black lace, a dark brown and a copper velour or velvet kind of fabric. One huge pro to these armbands is that they do not keep falling down all the time. I have had many things that I love such as arm cuffs and off the shoulder shirts that just don't stay in place. The fabric I think helps these stay. I think I maybe adjusted these twice the whole time I was out. These arm warmers were priced $16.50 but she offers others that are as low as $13.20. Here are a few samples of others that they have.

I just love that gauntlet. I'll take these 'scraps' of fabric any day! If you like what you see or know someone that would love to have a pair of these, just use the widget below to be directed to the item you like in their shop. They will be on my Etsy page as well. Check out the other items at Mean Kitty Wear such as their pants, corset belts, hair fascinators and more. Please remember to heart this shop if you love their products as much as I do. Even if you don't purchase anything, crafters love to know if their products are liked. So spread the love!

Thanks Sherry for allowing me to review your lovely arm warmers. They will be an accessory I will wear as often as I can :)
