SHOULDER ACTION

Finally, a little fashion fix!  Sorry it took so long to get an outfit post up.  The Hubster injured himself and has been out of commission as my photographer lately.  Even this shoot was a bit of a struggle but he is a champ for trying.  And he did a mighty fine job if you ask me.  By the way, his real name is Tek.  One of my readers caught my woopsie of writing down his name on the last post.  Hahaha.  I'm pretty sure he doesn't care if his name is revealed.  By the way, are there any Chicago photogs that wants to help me out with some shoots.  Just for funsies.  =)

This particular day was super fun because we met up my bestie and her sis at Fireplace Inn for their Tuesday special of 1/2 off appetizers from 5-7pm and 1/2 off bottles of wine ALL NIGHT.  That last part being the most dangerous on a Tuesday night.  I will suggest that they specify that the King Crab Legs that are on the "Appetizer" section is NOT included in this special.  That was a huge "womp womp" moment for us when we found out.  It would have been worse if we found out when we got there but me and my infinite wisdom called to ask because it just sounded too good to be true.  And yea, it was.  But everything else was delish!  Especially the 5 bottles of wine.  Yikes.  We took full on advantage of their special and pretty much ordered the whole appetizer side of the menu like total champs.  And we got to do it while sitting in their outdoor area and enjoying the last bits of summer.

In honor of the last bits of summer, I decided to rock a shoulder cut out blazer.  It's such a fun and sexy design and hellooooooo, love the color!  Hehehe... there is still time to rock the neons everyone!  The weather was perfect for this top and I was really glad it had the sleeves when the sun came down.  I'm trying really hard not to get depressed that the sun is setting sooner and sooner.  It's the most depressing scene working a full work day and then stepping out of the office into darkness.  I plan to savor as much sun as I have left and I hope everyone else is too.  So back to the outfit.  I love this tank that I got from Edith Hart on sizzzaale during their style gif event!  Woot!  It makes me feel very slinky and delicate.  Does that make sense?  And the jeans.  Wow, I was immediately drawn to the bleached look and random color stains.  They of course are too long and I will eventually get them altered.  There was just way too much material so the rolled up part looks super thick.  Me no likie that.  I also finally found a chunky chain necklace that fits well on me.  Woot!  It was one of my awesome finds at the Vintage Garage this summer.  I got a bunch of gold pieces for a total of $30.  Digital high five!  Anyhoozah, thanks for reading!  Let me know what you think of the look.

UPDATE:
Please visit my bestie and her sis' blog DEUX CHICAGO
She managed to keep this blog a secret from me for an entire year!  What the crap is THAT about!?!  She outed her blog to me on a drunken night out and I wish I had a video of how she said it.  These two are not only a beautiful sister duo, they are witty as hell.  Give them lots o' love!

UPDATE #2:
For all the Instagram followers who left me comments asking about the shoes =)
I originally got them from NastyGal.  I think they sold out a while ago.  I hunted for them online for you guys!  Here are the different sites I found and in different colors and styles!  I will tell you, these shoes are comfortable because of the very minimal arch and high front platform.  YAY!

SHOP THIS SHOE
