I went to Andersonville last night for a meeting, but after I got there I found out the meeting was NEXT Wednesday, not tonight. I wandered around the farmer's market a bit and stopped in Women & Children First, where I picked up this tank top. I'm a bit of a sucker for fun graphic tees and I like supporting local book stores. Admittedly, I prefer getting my books free from the library, and I love stores like Borders for their selection of books, magazines and the cafes where you can sit and read everything without buying (although I do usually purchase an espresso drink).
I also really enjoy local bookstores too, and I wish they could co-exist, big and small, rather than the larger stores putting the small local ones out of business. So I try to support my favorite local bookstores like Women & Children First in Andersonville, Powell's in Hyde Park (I've never been to the Lincoln Park location), and The Book Table in Oak Park.
When:
Thursday, August 12, 2010

What:
Pale Purple Blouse: Younique from J.C. Penney (I think) years ago; I bought it for the brunch the day after my wedding (I'm divorced now)

Skirt: Ann Taylor LOFT (on clearance for ~$3.80)

Crystal Earrings: from a small crystal shop in Northern Virginia (I wore these for my wedding, almost 11 years ago.)

I LOVE that skirt. Such a great color that can go with so much. I love purple.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used the shirt as a jacket.
