I wore this last Sunday to do some Christmas shopping at some of the funky local shops on Mass Ave. I’ll admit I do most of my shopping at big chain stores, but when I want to give gifts that the recipient wouldn’t or couldn’t get themselves, I like to take advantage of some of the cool spots we have here in Indy (like Silver in the City, Homespun, and Best Chocolate in Town). Naturally, after shopping local, we had to eat local too! I had been wanting to eat at Bakersfield forever but my other half is the world’s pickiest eater so it took a lot of nagging to get her to go to a restaurant that doesn’t have mac n cheese on the menu. And wouldn’t you know it? She didn’t die, and she even liked her food. The queso is amazing, by the way. I recommend it.
Everything I wore last Sunday might have been from Target and Kate Spade and Nordstrom, but at least I supported some local businesses while I wore my shameful corporate goods.

Great coat and hat!
I feel the same way about shopping big box vs small stores. Sometimes I just can’t find anything from local shops and have to go to like Nordstrom but I like to try and balance it out.
