Now Wearing...

My new roommate and I have been living together for literally just two weeks, and today we came out dressed quite alike.  We have very different tastes, so it's fun to compare the similarities and the personal twist on each part of the look.

We both wore dresses under textured, tweed-like jackets  - hers a basic black dress under a classic black & white tweed, mine a belted cream dress with navy and coral polka dots under a teal jacket with hints of black and gold.  We also both wore colorful tights with brown boots.

Textured teal blazer - Betsey Johnson (a favorite from 2009)
Polka dot dress - secondhand from Buffalo Exchange
Skinny tan belt - J. Crew
Dark teal tights - DKNY
Brown booties - Deena & Ozzy, Urban Outfitters

The booties are currently full price online, but I bought for half off a couple weeks ago from the Urban on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park.  And I spotted them for 75% off at the location on North Rush St.  They don't have much give and they're a bit snug at the toe, but they're actually quite comfortable and super easy to walk in.  Since they're black and brown, I can wear them with almost everything in my closet, so I've been wearing them quite a bit.

So cute. The boots are quite a deal. I love the two colors. My sister and I sometime dress the same. It's so funny because she hates when that happens.
