Zooming Around In Style

Today when I got home my mom surprised me with fresh homemade pizza on the grill. While I was grilling up some eggplant in olive oil to go with it Rich stopped by with another surprise for me. He's had my blue Ross 3-speed to fix the shifter, and while he had it he added a metal basket! I've been dying for one on this bike so when I take it to the train in the morning I have a place to put all my stuff. He was kind enough to oblige and take my pictures for me while I zoomed around.
My chambray and denim shirts have entirely replaced most of my cardigans for layering. Despite the perfect late summer weather, the office and train still hover around zero degrees. As a former jeans & tee shirt kind of girl, I've always thought blue denim-ish material worked perfectly with just about anything you could pair it with. This summer has been effortless, throwing this top in my purse where it barely takes up space and pulling it out, perfectly rumpled to ward off the air-conditioned chill.

    There's something so quaint about a bike with a basket...I'm about to move to a more bike-friendly city so really excited about zooming around on two wheels again. Your dress is gorgeous too and I love it paired with the denim shirt...it has an edge on cardigans!

    how much cuter could you be than in a leopard dress on a kick ass bike with basket?? love the whole thing-looking for a new bike myself right now, as my 3speed vintage Schwinn was stolen:( this post is just getting me amped up to return to my dress wearing/bike-ridin' ways!

    I'm head over heels for your dress! The style of it makes the leopard print super cute. Ah and how great that you have your bike now. I love it! It makes me want to find one and take it for a spin myself. xx

    Hey, thanks for leaving such a nice comment over at my blog (not so nice of me to take so long to get back to you, though. Sorry about that.)

    Anyway, I'm glad I stopped by because you have a pretty awesome blog. Adding you to my bloglovin' feed now. Cutest bike ever, by the way.
