Preppy me is often at battle with hipster me. Because I am old and actually lived during a time period when preppy was the "in" style (but has it ever really gone out of style?), sometimes preppy me feels a bit stale. So I give the hipster a go...but only so much. If I were 23 and single and had a blog, I think this twee persona would be me, but since I am not (oh, sadness), I will limit my hipster outings to just a few a month.
Fedora--check. Sperry's--Check. (Although I guess with Sperry's I could call this a hipster/preppy hybrid.) Weird hammered metal necklace--Check. Heavy on the Madewell and Anthro? Check.

No fedora, plus the dress has pockets! :)
Hipster occasion? Winesday at the local Whole Foods with my friend J., and little CW, of course. Mmm, winesday!
More Madewell and Anthro! And add a dash of desert boots and the hipster equation is complete. Of course I could have added an "ironic" winter hat (one with kitten ears, preferably), but again, I am old. I can't play that anymore.

Wore this outfit to go out with Rex to the city a few weeks ago. He was having a blast, as evidenced by his jump for joy outside the Museum of Natural History. I was a bit less thrilled, but I blame the Macalister high-heeled booties since this was the first day I had worn them, and even with the addition of socks, they were very uncomfortable after a few hours of walking. (This, btw, did not happen the second time I wore them, so at least they wear in fast.)
Okay, that's all for tonight.
I am in Florida right now (yay, Amelia Island--so pretty) but will be home tomorrow night. It's just my hubby, my baby, and me, so it has been very relaxing. We took a nice long walk today all over the resort, so even though it was 60 and windy and overcast, it felt special because the nature here is spectacular.
Have a great night, everyone. And if you are in Williamsburg or Silver Lake, I tip my fedora to you. ;)
