Coffee Break






We had an evacuation drill at work today. I walked down the street, got a mocha and took some pictures (with some assistance; thank you to my good sport of a photographer).

A college friend was in town visiting me this past weekend. I had a great time with her. We spent part of the weekend shopping, mostly in the Loop and Wicker Park. I got this bag at TJ Maxx. I mentioned to my friend that I was looking for a black work bag, and she spotted this. I got this cameo necklace (free!) at Buffalo Exchange. Okay, it wasn’t exactly free. I had credit left over from the last time I sold stuff. It completely covered the cost of the necklace, and I still have some credit left.

This skirt was part of my thrifting haul in August. This is my second time wearing it. Last time I accented with sandals and white summery accessories. This time, the darker accessorizing is more fitting for fall. Predictably for me, I wore a green top both times. I’ll have to try the skirt with a different color next time. Maybe burgundy or mustard.

These textured tights were a pleasant surprise. I found them at the back of the drawer this morning. I purchased them several years ago, along with a cream pair in the same texture. I had no idea that I still owned them. They may possibly be ten years old or older.

  6. fashionblogger, my best find at TJ Maxx was a green bag. No label, just an awesome dark color, a little bit shiny. It was only $14, it's just large enough for work, and I get complimented on it all the time.

    Miss J., Ally McBeal was one of my style icons when I was in college! I loved the suits with the short skirts.

  7. Oh I really like the dark colors against the soft colors of the skirt!
