for the love of Nike

So- I know I said that I rarely dressed preppy in my last post.
Well whoops! Here is a little more prep with my mom’s old letter sweater from the high school she went to in Iran.
Underneath that is a silk top from Ann Taylor Loft, all pulled together with a belt from Anthropologie.
The Nike sweet classic highs are some of my favorite shoes. They kinda have an old school flair, but they go with everything.
The necklace I’m wearing is from Express, hat from Banana Republic, gloves from Target, and yes! I like to wear 2 watches at once!
Oh! and check out my new plum Carhartt  wallet! I love it!

Some girlfriend’s and I wound up going out to eat at Cozy’s Noodles n’ Rice, a Thai restaurant in Wrigleyville.
Walking in there is like transporting into a toy land in another galaxy.
Hundreds and hundreds of trinkets lined the walls. It was a fun atmosphere, to say the least.
We sat in the Mickey Mouse room, which was bordering on the side of creepy. (but I kinda liked it that way- ha!)
The food was good and the surroundings kept us laughing.

This is the outfit I wore to work the other day.
It’s a bit more preppy than my normal attire, but it was a fun outfit.
I’m wearing my Nike Blue Chips, some jeans from Target, and a Ralph Lauren polo.
The Carhartt track jacket above has captured my heart- it’s so comfortable and adds a nice pop of color.
The earrings are from Rain Collection. They go with everything, but my favorite piece of jewelry to wear with them is my Texas necklace from Eskell. (another really great Chicago boutique in Wicker Park)
On the way home from work, I snapped a few city shots. I love it when photos feel like they are alive and full of movement.

Today I spent some time in Wicker Park at the Carhartt store on Milwaukee.
I was feeling like a nice pop of neon orange and some bright yellows.
So I threw on my grey and orange Nike high tops with my crazy mustache man socks from Urban Outfitters.
The necklace I’m wearing is from a great little Chicago boutique, Rudy’s Roundup. (part vintage / part craziness)
I love this top. It’s from Anthropologie (Pure + Good) and it’s so comfortable to wear. It kinda looks like epidermal cells- which is a big part of why I love it.
The floral tank under my shirt is from Urban Outfitters- and I’m really digging it. I can’t to wear it in a million different outfits.
The cargo pants I’m wearing are from Express. And check out that Carhartt hat! GO NEON!

I decided to walk around Lincoln Park a little bit to break in my new sneakers.
I kinda went houndstooth crazy with my outfit.
The t-shit I’m wearing is a boy’s tee that I cropped.
I love the acorn necklace I’m wearing…pretty much because I’m obsessed with Peter Pan.
