Memphis & 53rd

Last night was a near epic failure. First my computer just randomly shut down in the middle of me working, causing me to lose both the project I was working on (note to self: ⌘S), and a huge thing I had been writing throughout the day (online, so even ⌘S couldn't have saved me there). Thus, by the end of work I was pretty much exasperated and, though not excited about it, ready to go to the grocery store to pick up some dinner since we still have pretty much no food at home. I spent about a half hour meandering about the grocery store becoming increasingly frustrated at my inability to locate avocados, eventually culminating in getting to the checkout line and discovering that my wallet was not in my purse. I had to just walk away from all my stuff, and luckily I was only going to buy a few things. I felt bad leaving it all there for some grocery store minion to replace, but I was so frustrated I wasn't about to take it all back. Also, I was unsure if my wallet had been swiped from my purse! I rushed home to find it was sitting underneath an envelope next to my computer. Swell. At least it hadn't been stolen. It took a while to get my energy up enough to leave the house again, since I did still have to procure some sort of sustenance. I really wanted to walk or ride my bike to the City Market, which is only a couple blocks from this new abode, and take Little Bit with me. The poor thing is all alone at home this week, so I wanted to let her run and play, but I cannot find her leash! She's fine just walking around the neighborhood with me, she won't run away and is very obedient, but I don't want to have her run in the street at the wrong moment. Yes, a leash is quite necessary. Plus I need some way to tie her up once I get to City Market. Okay, well, that was a long-winded way of saying: we got in the car and drove. But! I have decided that my new routine is going to be riding my bike to City Market after work. Hopefully with Little Bit if I can find a dang leash! Improvisation may be in order.
It's kind of funny, I've never lived in this part of town. It's a lot more... me. City Market is especially "granola," and though I wouldn't describe myself as "granola," my demographic kind of fits that description, so it was cool to encounter people that I could see myself hanging out with. Of course, at this point they are all strangers, but maybe I will meet a friend or two on my trips to City Market!

Minus The Bear! & I'm so glad you found your wallet. It's a scary feeling when you think you've lost something so pivotal & important in your everyday life like your keys or wallet. As for your outfit, well, you mix the prints together so well as always. I thought this was the ModCloth dress that Tieka & Maria have - but it's not. I'm liking the many recent appearances of this plaid shirt though! Hope you're taking it on your journey with you.
I love the dress paired with the plaid button up....genius!
Usually you can do a recovery of your projects even if they aren't saved~ maybe you can figure it out so they won't be lost!

urgh, sounds like you had a horrid day! Cut dress tho, the prints are lovely. x
Love your dress!
And I have those days all of the time. Like, sometimes I'll be having a terrible day, and then I'll catch my finger in a ring binder or something and it'll make me cry :L

Yowz! I love the plaid and floral mixed together. It's just perfect!
I'm really glad you found your wallet - the other day I lost my phone and had a freakout! Thankfully I found it in the grass a few minutes later.

Love the outfit! You look gorgeous Elizabeth. Sorry you had one of those days. They suck, good thing is you can go to sleep and start all over :]
Lovelovelove the plaid shirt over the dress. That's one of my favorite things to do with my plaid shirts.
I think that you are the only other blogger that is as into plaid as I am. :D
Sorry your day was so bad, I hope today is better for you, and I hope you find a leash for little bit.
Love how the prints don't match but the colors do! It's the best when you find two items that mix well that way :)
Btw, is that dress from ModCloth?
Hope you have a much better day today!

Nice mixies! Love that plaid top!

Christy of Dress Rehearsal
you should give us pictures of the city market. and the next time you lose the leash, just use one of your belts!
Pattern mixing is sweeeeT!
beautiful photos and outfit!
Ah, one of those days. I usually use that as an indication not to do anything and just sit around eating snacks and watching House, haha! :)
Lovely outfit, the print mixage is awesome, haha! :)
I love this outfit! You look so cute! I'm glad you're liking your new neighborhood and I hope you day got better.
Little Bit! Love the name :D
and PS - be glad your wallet wasnt stolen @ the grocer! that happened to me last year - it was a.w.f.u.l.
This is gorgeous! I have been wanting to try a check shirt over a dress for a while now, it looks great on you.
This post me laugh because I am a part time grocery 'minion', and I HATE when people leave baskets behind. But you didn't leave much and I can understand why you did so it's alll goood. Haha ;)

oh life. but anyway, you look super cute as usual. love the plaid with floral, i'll have to try that soon.
hope things are falling back into sync for you :)

Love this location! And Little Bit. What a QT (you too).
Aw! I love your patriotic mix!!!
You look great :)
I really like these prints together! sorry your day wasn't the best, I hate it when computers mess things up like that :p
sounds like a stressful day, but you still pulled off an awesome outfit!
http://chandler-freshstart.blogspot.com/
Oh i'm sorry you had such a stressful day! I hope that your food and an evening at home made it a little less overbearing, and tomorrow is another day! :)
And yet again you have pulled off mixed prints elegantly!
Cute outfit and very pretty hair ;D

My sister has used detachable purse straps as an improvised leash before. It works, but I wouldn't recommend it if your dog pulls on the leash a lot.
wow - i love the outfit, and of course you're hair. gorgeous!

For some reason I'm loving those Keds with black tights. And the floral/plaid combo. So basically I love this entire outfit? Yes.
And uuugh I know how annoying it is to go somewhere, realize you forgot something (like a wallet), and then have to go home again. I always have to build up the energy to go out again too. Yay for being an introvert, haha.
Pattern mixes for the win! Such a cute combo.

Wow, that's an amazing outfit. Prints looks incredibly good together and your hair makes the look even more "powerful" =)
incredible hair !
Great pictures! I love the pattern mixing with complimentary colors!
I love the colours put together in this outfit!
I love the combo of the plaid and the floral. So pretty on you!!
UGH - I have totally gotten to the check out and realized that I forgot my wallet, too. It's the WORST! I hate super markets as it is. Luckily, I live right around the corner, so ran home and then back.
I love these pictures and the pattern mixing is awesome. Love the levity the dark tights add!
This outfit is so cute, the mix of prints is brilliant and makes it very interesting.
I've been reading your blog for some time now...i love it! But this is the first time I've felt the urge to post. Awesome combo! So so so lovely AND reminiscent of my teenage grnge years. LOVE.
