My first month on Etsy

15/12/2017

So it’s been an entire month since I first launched My Fashion Faux Pas on Etsy and what a month it’s been! I wanted to summarise some of the achievements I’ve made over this past month to remind myself of how far it’s come in a short space of time. Some of the item photos I’ve shared on Instagram have been my most successful posts – the following received in excess of 100 likes which is unheard of for me!
If you haven’t heard about my store, make sure to check out my launch post here. I wanted to recycle old clothing to create fashion wins out of what may have once been a fashion faux pas using my love of fashion and sewing to do so. So, instead of blabbering, here’s a summary of what I’ve achieved;

  • 23 items listed
  • 9 favourited items
  • 13 store favourites
  • 7 followers
  • 1 sale (privately – not through Etsy)
  • I’ve got some yellow postage bags for my orders to go out in (to go with the colour scheme of course) – sounds stupid but I was so excited by this as I felt pretty profesh
  • I’ve got stick-on labels for my postage bags that I can print my logo and addressee details on – again, feeling very profesh
  • And finally I got some very snazzy looking business cards!

I also decided to put together a few snaps of my personal favourite listings of the month.

As well as some new additions to my store (all items are linked);
My top fave has got to be the final listing of this post, the grey thin rib knit jumper dress which went down pretty well on social media! It started off by me just cutting, draping and plaiting which morphed into this during the sewing process – which I’ve found makes for some of the best pieces I have!
I’m going to be doing monthly updates for you guys so you can see what’s new and for me to track the progress I’ve made and am going to be working on putting a shop page on this blog in the new year – I’ve made a plan for myself and it’ll be great to see how that pans out!
Make sure to visit my store here and help a sister out if you really like something.

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds

So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
