From taking the bus in the morning to work, to running back and forth around the office, yesterday called for complete and utter comfort with a look that still says, "I will kick your ass" because you can't be a wuss in advertising. I met up with Amy of Chicago StreetStyle after work and ran across the street by the bean in Millenium Park to snap some pictures.
Tieka brought this maxi dress to the ModSwap in NYC and as I spotted it in her suitcase earlier in the week, I told her I would have to make that mine somehow. As soon as it was tagged and hung up on the garment rack during the event, I snagged that shit and stuffed it in my bag. It's one shouldered with some cute ruffles at the top, but I threw a sweater over top to add warmth and lace up boots to slosh through the many puddles on my walk home.
[dress from threadsence swapped from tieka, top c/o american living, wedge boots c/o wanted shoes, bag by rebecca minkoff, glasses c/o bonlook, bracelet c/o kristin hassan, ring c/o jewelmint, beaded necklaces c/o missfits]

What a great story...and a great score! LOVE this outfit!
What a great score! I follow her blog as well and pretty much want to snag all clothing off her body (in a completely sartorial non-perverted way of course). I love that you added the edgy boots and great sweater. Also, you look great in glasses!
Loving how you work this maxi dress :) I love that it's animal printed which can be worn easily over the seasons. A great swap! (that gets extra points just because it used to be tiekas, haha) x
Yay! Finally an outfit post of you in front of the Bean!! You do look like you'll kick my ass...I hope you kicked the days as well! :)
And that dress is totally Andrea-style! So happy you scored it, girl!
I love this sweater top... and the way you made the maxi into a skirt. ;)
Love the skirt so mmuch!
i love the zebra print and the flow of your skirt, great piece.

Love your sweater gurl :)
This outfit is fantastic. It's the boots that do it for me! xx
I love this outfit, and these pictures. So autumnal and badass.
love your outfit...and your best accessory..your hair :)
It is my dream to look good in a slouchy sweater, but alas, I can't ever accomplish it. I'll just look at you in one, instead, and be happy that others can do justice to the style. Same goes for lace-up ankle boots.
You ARE an advertising badass, sister. I'm so proud!
love your blog!!!!

I love the way you paired this dress with an over-sized sweater, it looks so cozy!
Andrea, I love your confidence at wearing curly hair! I myself have hair that's wavy to curly, yet I cannot bring myself to just leave it as it is and go out like that! I either curl it to get the precise 50s look, or straighten it... And you, WOW! You're just so confident au naturel!
Love from your redheaded fan,
S
