Okay, so we can pretty much expect that everything that I post for the next week or so will be a bit out of order. I'm so incredibly behind with posting that I'm just randomly picking a day's worth of pictures to post. Sometimes it's from the same day, sometimes it's a few days off, sometimes it'll be a week or more. Bear with me, team. This post is actually pretty close. These pictures were taken this past weekend on Joe and my renegade weekend out of the city. We walked a lot on this trip, so I was determined to be comfy throughout. Cutoff shorts, flowy tank top, and my Saltwaters were all non-negotiable. I threw a few necklaces and accessories in our suitcase willy-nilly before we left, and I gotta say, I got lucky that it all went together so well. For an outfit based solely around comfort, I felt pretty put together.
We took a long walk through town one day, upwards of 5 miles (it was strange being out of Chicago, in a city where public transportation isn't quite as accessible!), and for a while we were walking on the bike path along the railroad tracks. I absolutely gasped at the sight of the tracks, and immediately insisted that we take "fashion blogger photos". Joe probably wondered what the heck we've been doing for the past year and a half, but what he didn't understand (and what most of you do, I hope) is that the railroad tracks photos are like the holy grail of fashion blogging backgrounds. I'm still not certain of why, but sure as shit every fashion blogger worth her salt would jump at the chance to take pictures at the tracks in all her finery. (We're kind of a weird bunch of people, huh?) I wasn't exactly in my finest "finery", but you make compromises for your art.
Of course, I realized that I had hit the absolute mother lode when I spotted this old train engine parked on another set of tracks (the ones I'm standing on are actually used sometimes, and I kept getting antsy that I was going to be killed. But again, sacrifice for art). I'm not sure the story behind this engine, but it has been beautifully maintained (or restored, I guess). The coolest part was that it has actually been renovated to have offices in it!! We spotted a real estate office, an investment office, and a few others that have taken residence in the cars of the train. It's pretty close to some of the downtown stuff, which just made it that much more awesome. Seriously, best office building ever!!
What did you do this weekend? Do you pack for comfort when you travel? Would you ever consider working in a train?!?!!
