Yesterday I had an appointment in Northampton, MA. It's one of my favorite places in New England, along with Boston and Burlington, Vermont.

I took my daughter with me and between her visit to Urban Outfitters and mine to Eileen Fisher, we both came away happy.

I went in telling myself, no more black, blue or grey. And then the 50 percent off rack at the back of the store was filled with awesomeness. I got this vest http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ei.....ts-_-1_1_A (only bone is there on the EF website) and I would still have liked (but did not buy) a grey cashmere sweater that I don't even want to need till at least November.

Also, we both got some nice Smith's Rosebud Mint salve from Cedar Chest, and enjoyed the bubble tea at Lime Red.

I was wearing all black, because it was bucketing rain and that's what matched my boots (I would love to find rain boots that make my feet look other than giant). Seemed like a larger percentage than usual of the female populace was in black skinnies like me yesterday, but I am lacking the interesting piercings and tattoos to go with. NoHo is definitely a good town for original style statements.

I will have to come up with something worthy of the new vest for another WIW!
