Blues Boy

This is an outfit from about two weeks ago, so it's a bit dated. I snagged this dress at UO for a whopping $10 not too long ago. I also got a black/red version (with dots maybe?). The top is a bit strange but it's a really comfortable dress. Comfort is totally what I was going for anyway! The second picture(s) were taken when a guy who works in this building came up and just watched us for a while. Probably thought we were trying to trespass or something. There are so many characters out there!

Chicago has been a lot of fun so far. Thrifting, Woodfield, too much Jack Daniels, and the Village Inn. The weather has been the exact same as in Nashville, so we're not getting to experience the Chicago winter like we had hoped. Guess that's a good excuse for another visit! It's nice to not feel chilled to the bone though, I won't lie. Here's to hoping the remainder of our trip is just as fun! xo

  21. That coat is gorgeous.
    Blue really suits you. I have red hair too (perhaps a bit redder) - for some reason I just don't look good in blue.

    I have a pretty big giveaway happening on my site right now if you'd like to pop by:

  41. I haven't been here in a while (really behind in blogging - reading and posting). Love your new layout!

    This $10 dress totally is amazing! Glad you've been having a good time in the Chicago area. There are LOADS of thrift stores there, so I've been told by someone I know who moved there about 5 years ago.

  42. Beautiful dress! That color looks great on your.

  45. I love these colors on you! I wish I could pull off blue, but it usually makes me look kind of sickly. Work it, mama!
