You were head over heels the moment you met her. But these days, the relationship is a bit one-sided.

Don’t worry, she’ll grow out of it.

Until then, let her steal the spotlight in custom apparel from Austin-based Basic Couture.

The breezy cotton staples (think summer dresses, tanks, and tees) are adorned with edgy, tat-like graphics that discreetly feature a name, monogram, or initial. Be inspired by the funky combinations on the company’s website, then give them a ring or work with a local rep to make something of your own.

Designs are digitally printed using water-based, ecofriendly inks that absorb into the fabric and fade slightly after several washes for a laid-back vintage look that’s pleasantly subtle.

A far cry from your little narcissist.
