Chicago's Own Fashion's Night Out

Fear not dear readers, we're back to our regularly scheduled outfit posts here at TCC after a wedding post diversion. Woo, exciting.

Wednesday Work Outfit

Here's what I wore to the office on Wednesday. Even with fall weather coming in, I still feel like I'm in a bit of a style rut, wearing the same skirt/tank/cardigan or dress/cardigan combos. I'm a little bored with work right now, so I suppose it'd make sense that I'm bored with my work wear.

Skirt and cardigan: Target
Tank: Loft
Necklace: New York & Company
Shoes: Naturalizer

FNO Chicago

Last night, I ended up meeting Randi from Not Just MOM downtown for Chicago's Fashion's Night Out.  It's not nearly as big here as in NYC, but it was still a lot of fun.  We hung around The Shops at North Bridge, where there were plenty of happenings.  Of course all the stores were open later, and some had deals, but there were also goodie bags, free cocktails and snacks at every turn, giveaways and a mall full of fashionable ladies.

Above, we're with the Flirty Cupcakes car at Nordstrom's.  One of the Flirty Cupcakes gals actually asked to take our picture with their car because we looked so stylish.  Um, that's never happened before.  Awesome.

S'mores cupcake

We both picked S'mores cupcakes.  And they were awesome.  Flirty Cupcakes drives around town during the week selling their tasty concoctions, so I'll definitely be stalking them to get more of these.

Trying on Hats

We did some shopping, got free makeovers from Smash Box, and finished the night off with beer and yet even more food at nearby Rock Bottom Brewery.  It was a perfect way to spend a rainy Thursday night.
