Day 105

Despite being an exiled Brit (well, exiled by choice), I did not get up before the crack of dawn today to watch those two crazy kids get hitched. (But my office and I did spend the first hour crazily looking up videos, and yes, both her dress and Pippa’s bridesmaid dress were mightily fetching – well done Kate!)

It is sunny in Chicago for the first time in what feels like years – but I think is actually just since last weekend. Yay! Bare legs it is!

anthro skirt & necklace, Express top, H&M jacket (via Buffalo Exchange), UO flats

I bought this jacket for $8 at the Buffalo Exchange on Broadway, just north of Diversey; of course, the first time I wear it in – can it be three years? – the inside button popped. (So forgive the pulling. It sits beautifully when it’s buttoned.)

I bought this shirt for my (drum roll please) 20th birthday. That was my college tradition; go to Express every January 15th and buy something new from the sale. This is one of the few remnants of that birthday-shop-a-thon.

The necklace is a little goodie I picked up on sale at anthropologie; as you guys have probably noticed, I don’t tend to wear much jewelry, but I do love a couple great statement pieces. (And I wanna try and get a little more mileage out of this one before I get to theatre-school-and-sweatpants . . . )

Ooh, and for fun;

my royal-wedding big-ass hat.

Well, now I just look like I’m playing dress-up.
