There is a vibe to most well-patronized independent coffee shops that easily outshines the continual hum inside any Starbucks. Attitudes (and lack thereof) abound, as do the fashions. Though typically these shops attract hipsters and all the various sub-sects of hipsters (of which I am not ashamed to say that there could be an off chance that I fall into one). And though it can be said that there is a common theme to a lot of the people who haunt these places, really there is still a lot of diversity within the crowd. But I love the overall feel inside of arty, chill, kind-of-too-cool-but-actually-very-nice.

This Equipment blouse works perfectly for an afternoon rendezvous with a friend at your favorite local place. It dresses up really nicely for the evening, too. Same with the skirt, which really ends up being your best friend in every rough situation. The shoes add enough cool to the look to really be perfect. Ditto this Rochas clutch from their latest collection. This bag alone is a golden ticket into any joint, coffee or no.

How do you take yours?

Until next time,
