A few weeks ago, when Blake and I were in Chicago, I DRAGGED him to W. Division Street, home of the Renegade Craft Fair (which I am applying to- wish me luck!) so I could go to a cool shop I found online called Penelope's. I hearted it, big time. I wish I could afford more on my crafter's salary, but alas, I could not. However, a boy can dream, right! Here are my picks from their website.

That pea coat makes my heart flutter. Oh, and the cropped plaid and the cropped blue jackets I will gladly give my left arm for. And that amazeballs cropped toggle coat makes Paddington Bear's look like barf.
Sailor's shirt in gray? Thanksies. Gingham blue, always cool. Wacky neon colors? Sure. And you all know I love me some stripes. (I tried this one on when I was there and I looked like a fat patient in one of those unflattering hospital gowns. I can still admire from afar, right?)
I'll take one of each, please. Thanks!
