Skippy Says: Deep Thoughts (OOTD)

I decided to change up my usual routine yesterday and spent the day getting some work done in one of my favorite San Francisco cafes, Simple Pleasures. The one not-so-pleasant thing about that cafe is the ridiculously claustrophobically small bathroom. Combine that with my pea-sized bladder and you've got a recipe for a minor panic attack about every hour or so. At least there's stuff graffitied all over the wall that I try to distract myself with so I don't hyperventilate so hard that I end up passing out and falling into the toilet. Today's favorite was someone that wrote "acting tough is the result of fear," with "fear" crossed out and replaced by "beer."







- Modcloth dress (bought on sale during the last 70% off cabin fever sale circa 2010 or early 2011? No longer available)
- Banana Republic lace shirt (bought on sale- no longer available online but I've still seen it in several stores. Buy similar here or here)
- Anthropologie booties (bought on sale circa 2010, no longer available)
- Huge diamond grid tights in brown (buy here)
- Treasure Island flea market earrings

    Adore your lace shirt. Lace makes me feel so feminine. Also enjoy seeing pictures of the bridge too since I've never been to San Francisco.

    Seeing San Francisco famous bridge brings back wonderful memories of my trip there so many years ago. LOL. Too funny. Yes, I know exactly what you mean by the cupboard sized cubicle disguised as a toilet!

  35. SkippySaysOctober 26, 2011 at 2:55 PM

    Thanks Katherine! Maybe because real estate is so expensive? I'm not sure but I don't like it :) Simple Pleasures is in the Richmond district so it's kind of a trek, but they often have live music and are just a great little neighborhood cafe

    Thanks Bessie! It wasn't cabin fever in SF. Modcloth was having their "70% off cabin fever sale." I have no idea why they call it that but they do :) And yay, so glad I get to add H&M to that list :)
