The Midwest Girl® (shopthemidwestgirl.com) was developed by two Wisconsin sisters and has clothing for women, men and kids with cheeky sayings like “Beer Tent Babe” and “Supper Clubs Fish Frys Old Fashioneds”—coined for Wisconsinites’ famous Friday-night outings.
Up North Clothing & Jewelry’s (upnorthboutique.com) line says it “captures the spirit and comfort of the Northwoods.” Find shirts for adults, kids and babies (“Mama Badger” and “flannel and cheese are all you need” are among them), as well as minimalist, nature-inspired jewelry pieces.
