My parents were in town last weekend, and we did our best to show them a good time. After the St. Paul Gangster Tour, we headed over to Hudson, WI, for a little shopping and exploring. I scored big as you’ll soon see.

I first saw this coat back in February, when Audi and I visited the Eileen Fisher showroom. I kept my eyes peeled for it, waited for it to go on sale, and then pounced. My plan was to wear this coat like a fancy hoodie, a la my Prairie Underground models. And I may still … but it’s a bit crinkly and loud for regular indoor wear, so we’ll see. Perfect for a day of hopping about town and activities that don’t require coat-removal, though.

Already Pretty outfit featuring brown boyfriend cardigan, tank dress, brown leggings, vintage silk scarves

The main event in Hudson is Abigail Page Antique Mall, as far as I’m concerned, and I’ve scored a good 25% of my costume jewelry there. So, naturally, I took the ‘rents. And although I’d promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything, these fringed boots were a mere $28, fit perfectly, and were far too fabulous to leave behind.

I wore the boots on Sunday, along with this kangaroo scarf, also purchased at Abigail Page on a previous Hudson trip. I tied it up like so with this horsey scarf that Audi sent me. Because, you know, horses and ‘roos are meant to be worn together.

I’m not usually a fan of bubble hem anything, but that coat is lovely on you!! Your kangaroo scarf is so cute!

I love both outfits, but am especially drawn to the second one, perhaps because it is more casual, which is where I am in my life at the moment. Or perhaps it is the fringed boots that I am drooling over! And the double scarf is brilliant. I am trying to analyze how you tied in on. I am intrigued by how people can make a scarf-around-the-neck look so stunning, and SO EFFORTLESS/1 I feel like my attempts at wearing a scarf look so contrived, but I think I will try your ‘two-scarves-in-one’ idea today. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love, love love the first outfit. The bubble coat and those black boots work so well together, and you really rocked ‘em!

Great boots, nice find, and I dig the scarves.

I really like, nay, ADORE these two outfits. COVET the coat. COVET the boots. COVET the silver necklace. Etc. But mostly, I love how you put them all together!

*happysigh*

I cannot believe there is a bubble coat in existance that I actually like.
