What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?

Put that thumb down, sir. It is unwwarranted.

Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

10/11/18: When it comes to jumpsuits, Etsy offers equal parts yes and definitely yes and oh, yes and, predictably, hell, no. Alas, I no longer have the figure (or the nerve) to carry them off, but boy if I did, I’d be all over some of these things. As expected, there were the usual number of nopes and whys and WTFs to keep me entertained.

Just the thing for your magazine-perfect family! By LittleMiaBella

Amish-meets-chastity-belt chic, your time has come!

Truth be told, I think the jumpsuit is beautiful, but the pose… Is she lifting a leg? In a parking lot?

I’m not typically into dropped crotches, but this is super cute! By EUGfashion

Clown chic is not a thing

I’m not going to lie. I kind of wish they were googly eyes.

Glorious! By PastLivesofNewYork

Couples that garbage pick together, stick together.

Well, this is not going to help with my body issues

Werk! By HouseofMann

Medical marijuana is the only reasonable explanation.

And now, a photo of me wearing this thing.

Runway ready? More like run away ready.

How adorable does she look? By LOMstore

Catsuit? Maybe if this is the cat you wish to resemble.

Q. What should I do with my grandma’s 1970s hand towels?
A. Not this.

I have committed to spending part of every day looking for at least one beautiful thing, and sharing what I find with you lovelies!

    Guess it takes all kinds to make this world go around but none of these would ever be in my house. Hal

    I think the better of them seem to just be combining a good top + good bottoms into a single good thing. Which can actually be a good thing despite what i thought going into this (esp. that ‘pleated cape jumper’ combines two words i never thought i could put together: stylish jumper). And for dropped crot… ‘hems’ :P, all i have to say is “You Can’t Touch This” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo&list=RDotCpCn0l4Wo&index=1

    I’m pretty sure I know those garbage pickers from a Grateful Dead show! (Not really, but I see a lot of this kind of clothing at the psych fest shows,)
